Happy Day everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful week!! My several days away was a bit of fun and just a getaway!! But while I was away my house was broken into...actually a funny story!!! I had forgotten to tell my little 90 year old neighbor and my mailman that I was going to be away for several days. Mrs. Marge is very protective because I usually check on her all the time....and you can guess about my mailman...I get more packages than anyone on his route and I am always awaiting him to see what's new!!!! So on Tuesday, they both decided that something must be wrong so the mailman called his wife to come over to my house and she and Mrs. Marge called 911...and the city police, the sheriff, and the town police all converged on my house and broke in through a window and found me NOT HOME!!!! It's kinda nice to know that someone missed me while I was away!!! Too funny, huh?!?!
Anyway I wanted to show you a little gift set of card and gable box that I made for the Issue 4 of the Whimsy Stamps Inspirations Magazine. I used Meljen's darling Little Bunny Witch stamped on X-Press It Blending Card, colored with Copics and Promarkers, adding Stickles, Prisma Glitter, and Spica, and cut it out with double Nesties. Isn't she the cutest thing!!!
For the front of the card I used Bazzill for the base and all double matting, the DP is Happy Haunting by Best Creation, and all panels are machine stitched. For the horizontal I used a Spellbinders Halloween Fence and some chartreuse grosgrain ribbon tied into a bow and topped a Recollection jeweled button. The spider web is a Memory Box die and I have topped it with a jeweled spider and added the same jewels to the other corners. The sentiments on the card and gable box are from the digital Halloween Ticket Sentiments set. The gable box was decorated with the same materials I used on the card and I filled the 3 plastic jars with typical halloween candies. Pssssst...you can't see the M&Ms in the middle!!! Smiles!!
The inside is VERY simple because I wanted the charming papers to show. On the first panel I added another bow and topped it with a pumpkin pierced earring and on the second panel I used a halloween pin for the jotting spot.

Love the colours you've used, Jacque! That bright green gives such a contrast to the black. Great card design with all those bits and pieces and the image is a sweetie! You must have been so relieved to find the break-in was a false alarm....and it gave you such a good story to tell!

Hi Jacque, what a great story and good to know that people care about you and are watching over you. Love your card and box; the magazine is amazing. Thanks for the chance to win this cute little rabbit. Hope you have a nice weekend ahead of you. Hugs from Holland.
Hello Jacque - love your story, too, too funny!!! Makes your heart feel so good to know that people care about you and watch after you. :o) This bunny is so adorable and what a darling card and gift package!!! Looooove the bright colors! Have a wonderful day! Hugs, Sharon :o)
Cute card, Jacque! The image is so adorable! I had something very similar happen to me. My DH and I went to Europe for two weeks years ago and we left a key with an elder neighbor to look in on the house while we were gone. We forgot to tell her that we had a timer on one of the lights. The very first night we were away the light came on and she freaked and called the police. She met them in front of the house (since she had a key). She was ready to charge into the house and the policeman asked her to please hand over the key and they would check it out. To her surprise the officer told her the light was on a timer. Too funny. But I so appreciated that she watched the house that well. Thanks for the good laugh and the memories. Hope you have a wonderful day!
Wow, what a fun gift set. I just love your card. TFS.
Congrats Tine!!
Oh my goodness! :O) That's too funny!!! Not that they broke in your house, but can you imagine how they felt..bahahaha I love your Halloween card, it is so cute, and the colors are wonderful! Thanks for the chance as always! Still smiling! Hugs! Leah Ann
