Okay, now for my project :D  

I've been on a Halloween kick lately so I made a BOO Sign:

I've been making a ton of these because I just love leaving them for my friends and family. This one measures 12 1/2" x 5 3/4". I used Crescent board for my base and covered it with Basic Grey's Eerie Haunted Forest.

I painted the backside with black acrylic paint for a nice finished look. Then added the BOO poem with some brads.

I made the large OWL with my Animal Kingdom Cricut Cartridge. I cut him at 6" out of Basic Grey's Eerie Evil Eye patterned paper. Next I punched the circles for his eyes from some vintage sheet music (you know I gotta work it in somewhere, lol) and added some gems. I inked all of the edges with Tim Holtz's Black Soot Distress Ink.

This cute little guy is by K&Company, Brenda Walton Stitched Adornments. He's just super cute, isn't he!

Since this is meant to be hung on a door, I added beautiful ribbons with cute bows in black & purple.

I used large white glittered chipboard letters and inked them with Tim Holtz's Dusty Concord Distress Ink. I also used a K&Company glittered frame backed with more vintage sheet music and some embellishments from my stash. To finish things off I trimmed the edges with a cream colored zipper, black sequenced trim and a polka dot scalloped border. Here is the poem I like to use in case you'd like to make your own BOO signs:

The air is cool, the season fall,

Soon Halloween will come to all.

With ghosts and goblins, spooks galore,

Trick-or-Treaters at the door.

The spooks are after things to do.

In fact, a spook brought this to you.

The treats that come with this short note

Are yours to keep. Enjoy them both!

Excitement grows when friends like you

Will copy it and make it two.

Neighbors will have smiling faces;

None can guess who “BOO-ed” which places.

A day or two to work your spell,

But keep it secret!  Hide it well!

Join in the fun; the season’s here.

So spread these “BOOs” – and share the cheer!

I hope I've inspired you to join in on the fun :D 
Now I have some treats for you, to help you cast your very own spells!
