BOOOOO to YOUUUU
One of my besties sent me this great pack of stickers a few weeks ago and I just cound not wait to jump in and use them! At first I wasntr sure what to do with them but I wanted to do something cause they are so darn cute. Then it hit me! Make her a B-day card with one! Her birthday was on the 13th of this month so I have already sent it out. I wanted to make it looked a little haggared and distessed and a little spookily fun. I layered up a bunch of cardstock with sanded edges and use some gauze and velum. The placed Mr Frank front and center. Added some ribbon and tulle and a glitter button. I am really happy with how it turned out :D

Trick or Treat
I wanted to make a somewhat circle so I used the ole string and pencil trick (it looks like a toilet seat)
Gathered up my tissue paper and cut it into rectangles
After layering the tissue I folded it accordion style then tied it in the center
Trimed the ends into a point then unfolded them
Started pulling the paper up one layer at a time
Until you are all done with the layers and then glue them to your toilet seat I mean paper ring
I cut out some spooky shapes on my Cricut using the Post It craft paper that I peeled the back off and glittered the sticky side
I made the words 'Trick or Treat' on my Gypsy using Blackletter and glittered them as well and wrapped the weath with green Fun Fur yarn and a purple ribbon
