A little magic...

So...

my friend Theresa has a birthday

a week and a half ago...

bad friend that I am

I just delivered her card and gift

yesterday!

I whipped up a little magic

thanks to

Dawn at Dawn's Stamping Studio's post here...

Being black on black-this is really hard to see...

but that top part--that has "For You" on it?

It's attached with a wee little brad on the right-hand side

to that top panel...

 

"magically" swings up and out of the way

to reveal this...

I found a cute little black tote bag

that came with a white and black polka dot ribbon

run around and knotted in the front-

a ribbon that whipped out quite easily

and since my friend is crafty too,

I knew she'd be able to easily trade out

the ribbons for whatever holiday...

but since halloween is coming up

I chose to decorate it for that...

I added a little feather hair clip

(shhh-don't tell!)

and then made the little back cat on a broom

in front of the moon pin

and attached that...

Before I could get it all put together however

I had a little help from my own

BLACK CAT...

he went head-first into the shopping bag

to check out the feathers...!

Needless to say---

I hung the bag well out of reach

until I delivered it yesterday!

Lol!

I thank Dawn for sharing her card idea-

and give credit where credit is due!

Came across not one but two instances of

"thievery" this past week--

work done by several different people

posted on someone else's blog

with absolutely no credit given to them whatsoever.

I am a follower of Mo's Digital Pencil as well

and Mo Manning, artist behind those designs

had hers lifted again by a company no less!

Sad. Sad. Sad.

You will see ideas shared here-

but you will also see CREDIT GIVEN to the appropriate parties

for those ideas

and I always try to give them a heads up

that I gave them a shout out on my blog!

 

That's it for today.

Gotta fly on out of here and get ready

for our groupies tonight.

Meeting here and I need to clean up some cat hair

and start cooking up some supper!

Until next time,

happy stamping and scrapping!

Blessings,
