CHIC & SCARY: Halloween Banner

Hello Everyone!

I had an awesome time at "SHE'S CRAFTY" last night!  This store is located at 2620 Larkspur Lane here in Redding.  The owner, Jenney, just bought the store this past spring and she is just the sweetest!


She's got some great new product in the store and I fell in love with ECHO PARK'S new halloween line.  With the release of the new CHIC & SCARY cricut cartridge still fresh in my mind... I just had to use it with Echo Park's paper. I just love banners...



CHIC & SCARY Cricut cuts:
Pennant shadow (Coredinations black) - 7.5"
Pennant base (EP Orange damask) - 7.5"
Spider web (Coredinations charcoal) - 4"
HALLOWEEN (Bobunny double dots rust) - 6"





Cut the tissue into four square pieces








For everyone who is wanting to order this cartridge now... Provo Craft is offering it for only $24.99 at http://main.cricut.com/shopping/detail--Cricut-Chic--Scary-Cartridge-0-1419.aspx

Just wanted to say "THANKS" to Jen, Wanda, Jenney and all the ladies I met at SHE'S CRAFTY last night and today!  I had a great time!

Don't forget that I am giving away a BOTANICAL's Cricut Lite Cartridge this weekend!  Make sure you are a follower of my blog and leave a comment to be eligible to win!  I will announce the winner on Monday!

Creatively yours,

Tammy
