boo-hoo-hoo!

I'm going to throw myself a little pity party and you're all are invited! Last week, I caved and ordered the SU! Big Shot, yes, the whole shi-bang which included the Top Note die and the Pillow Box die. My intentions were all good...I justified paying "ah-hem" 2-day shipping so I could get my hot little hands on the aforementioned dies before Halloween, only to realize AFTER I'd payed the extra shipping costs and received all the other Big Shot goodies that I'd forgotten to check the backordered list, ah-hem...that's what I get for being greedy and impulsive! 'Nuf said.

I had visions of the cutest darn clear pillow boxes filled with Halloween in all it's sweetness (M&M's); those cute Frankenstein treat bag holders that I saw on Cambria's blog; and who knows what else my creative mind COULD have processed and created?! All for naught, and guess what: my dies are being delivered tomorrow, 10/31/08! That's a day late and a dollar short in my world...unless I suddenly feel sick, light-headed, in need of a mental health day?! End of pity party...I'm looking forward to all the delightful Thanksgiving and Christmas goodies I'm going to make with my Top Note and Pillow Box dies.

Here's one quick and cute card that I made while I was wallowing in self-pity. It's quick, cute and Big Shot-less! A 2x3 inch card decorated with a strip of black and a Curly Label punch stamped with "boo" using my retired Typeset Lower Alpha. I just love the way Kiwi Kiss pops when combined with black and orange--KK is perfect, in my humble opinion!
