Halloween Gift Basket with Raechelle Bellus

Halloween Gift Basket

Raechelle Bellus

 Who says all treats need to be received with door-to-door knocking. 

Raechelle has conjured up a lovely gift basket perfect for tiny monsters or grown up ghosts. Our berry baskets are so easy to customize with your favorite shade of acrylic or spray paint. Raechelle painted hers in a haunting shade of glossy black.  Her die cut leaves from our library cards are a beautiful finishing touch for our candy corn fabric flowers.

Here in Sofia, Bulgaria, the center of the city has a yellow brick road.  My daughter, being a fan of the Wizard of Oz, loves this stretch of road and wants to have her photo taken there every time we are there.

Lisa loved using Curtsey Boutique products on her layouts.  They add so much depth to simple paper products. For this layout, she used the White 4" Doilies, the Yellow Dyed Doilies, a Polka Dot Embossed Glassine Bag, a yellow library card, yellow twine, cream seam binding, a cream felt flower (that she misted green), a heart stick pin, a Shabby Chic vintage mini clothes pin and a Shabby Chic wood button.  All of these products make for one pretty layout!!

"You Made my Day" Thank you Card by Andrea Amu

You Made my Day Card
Curtsey Boutique Designer
Andrea Amu

Outside my window this morning dozens of butterflies are flitting about and quite literally making my day. The wonders of nature never fail to bring a smile to my face.

  Andrea's card most assuredly did the same for the sweet friend it was intended to thank.  I love her monochromatic blue palette with just a pop of orange.
