Look how darling!
These are some ideas from a great consultant, Melinda Everitt, who lives about ten miles away from MIchael and Jaimee.

Look at the spider.

She stamped the spider web and spiders before I put the coffin together.

This is another reason why we love the new Artiste cartridge.

Another Halloween idea from Melinda.She used Close to My Heart stamp sets from both of the Halloween Workshops on the Go, both the Spellbound and the Moonlight and then she used her most favorite stamp set so far, Creepy Creatures (C1522).

The cardstock from the Moonlight Paper Pack, Goldrush and Black.

And what a cute little basket. My first attempt was rather plain, but Melinda showed me how to bling it up. :)

As you can see, she also pulled out the hemp and tied cute little bows and stuck them on with our Liquid Glass. 

I am not as into making the flowers here, but she did a nice job.

Her cute little purse has not one pocket, but two!  She put one on the back of the purse as well.  She used one of the buttons from the Mini Medleys Antiqued Gold Collection to decorate the flap and then put one of our little velcro closures under the flap so that it would stay closed.

Also, notice the adorable ribbon on the pocket?  It is also cut with the Cricut Artiste in Pacifica cardstock.  Can you  believe that?  She cut it at 1/2" and then put it together with an Antiqued Gold brad.  Melinda says he ribbon bow is so easy to make.  It can be found on pg 55 in the Artiste Handbook and pg 32 in the Artiste Assembly Book.

Here is another view of her purse.  The box was cut out at 5", which is the size indicated on the Artiste Handbook.  I inked the edges with Pacifica Ink.  

Last night I made five purses, large enough to put a gift card in it. But my first attempts at adding the pocket were not half as cute as hers. When I have it mastered and completed, I'll share.

Thank you, Melinda, for sharing your ideas with us. You are really talented. I hope Jaimee runs into you at some point!
