A Boo-tiful Color Challenge **CCCB**

Hi All! I'm so excited to be this week's hostess for City Crafter Challenge Blog! The theme this week is "A Boo-tiful Color Challenge". Your challenge is to PRIMARILY use the colors BLACK and CREAM on your project. I love Halloween and this color challenge is Halloween inspired, but your projects DO NOT have to be Halloween projects. Please REMEMBER that in order to be in the running for our prize, though, that we want to see projects that the MAJORITY of your project is using the colors BLACK and CREAM. You will DEFINITELY want to be in the running for our prize from our SUPER SPONSOR...PIXIE DUST PAPERIE. Go take a peek over at City Crafter Challenge Blog for some FAB inspiration from our ohhhhhhh sooooo TALENTED Guest Desiger, Stella Schenkel, and all of the DT members. *You will also spy a special offer for CCCB readers from our sponsor* You may use other colors, but the focus should be on BLACK and CREAM. I have made a trio of Halloween cards. Here are my other two:

I can't wait to see your BOO-TIFUL projects! Hope you have a BOO-TIFUL day! Hugs, Cheryl

Postively Pinterest Post *Halloween Owl"

Hi all! I just wanted to share with you a project I made from an idea I got on Pinterest for a Halloween decoration. The original project used a raven that was on top of some hat boxes. I went to find a raven and then I saw this little owl and just fell in love with him. Soooooo...I decided to use Mr. Owl and I thought he looked like he would be perched on some old books rather than on hat boxes. Hope you all are crafting today! Hugs, Cheryl
