Ok, let's get started...I can't wait to share my "Boo" project with you....

(click on photo to enlarge)

Recipe:
* I started with some plain, unfinished wooden blocks that I ordered from "Oh My Crafts" and painted them with black acrylic paint. The blocks vary in height from about 3.5 to 4.24 inches.
* Next, I chose some fun Halloween prints and cut them about an inch shorter than each block.  I distressed the edges and inked them up with black ink.  Then, I wrapped and glued the strip around each block.
* Now comes the fun part of decorating each block!  Using the Cricut cartridge "Kate's ABCs", I cut the letters for "BOO". The B is cut at 3.75 inches and the O's are cut at 3.25 inches.  I cut each letter 3 times and glued all the layers together for durability.  Then I ran each letter through my Xyron and covered them with some Martha Stewart "Onyx" glitter.


* The cute little cat is from the Silhouette Online Store.  I inked up a few edges with some white ink to add a bit of dimension.  His whiskers got a sprinkle of black glitter and his eyes are covered with Glossy Accents.  I used some pretty purple Crinkle ribbon on this block and a fun button tied off with twine.  A purple gem collar gives this Kitty a sense of style!
* The letter B block gets some bright orange Crinkle ribbon with a black rose in the center.  I found that fun broom at Hobby Lobby and added a sweet Halloween charm tied on with a "Trendy Twine" twine bow.


* The first letter O gets some yellow Crinkle ribbon and that adorable pair of Witches legs!  The legs are from the Silhouette Store and get dressed up with some green gems for buttons.  I added a few purple gems to the ribbon and a big bow to the letter O.
* The grumpy looking owl is also from the Silhouette Online Store.  His block is decked out with some lime green Crinkle ribbon and a couple of stick pins that I put together.


* The last block gets a couple of strips of purple Crinkle ribbon and a fun Witches hat from the Silhouette Online Store.  I added ribbon, gems and a purple flower for a snazzy hat band.  The bow is accented with a cute pumpkin jingle bell.

And, here's the complete line up again....



Well, that's about wraps it up for me.  I hope you will drop by to see all the wonderful projects created by Design Team over at the Pause Dream Enjoy Challenges Blog, they have some great things in store for you!  After your visit, go get creative and link up your "BOO" project with us!  I look forward to seeing what you have created!
