It's October! Let's Celebrate!
Today, we celebrate the 2nd day of October! It's the month of pumpkins, spooky fun, and autumn beauty. Solange Marques and Ginny Nemchak have two perfect projects to share with us today. It's going to be a day full of Fall fun!
First, Solange has this incredible altered Rare Oddities tray. This would make the perfect Halloween home decor!
"I think that configuration box is creative altered piece and I Love to make my boxes by myself using cardboard . I use fussy cutting from Rare Oddities collection, there are many elements such as skeletons, skulls, bats, crows that can be used for decorate the box. I add gauze and cotton waste painted black with spray ink.
Tip: I stamped cobweb on transparency and glued it on some boxes." ~Solange

Now, how about this gorgeous fancy fold card by Ginny? It's so beautiful! We are simply in love with Ginny's incredible cards.
"Fancy fold cards are becoming my new favorite. I love that you can add so much dimension and all the extra surface area means there’s more room to add yummy layers of patterned papers and images as well as flowers, ribbon and die cuts. I think this Rare Oddities card blends spooky with beautiful. I love that Rare Oddities has traditional Halloween colors..but takes it up a notch with greens and purples." ~Ginny
