Scaredy Cat!

Hello friends!  Are you ready for Halloween yet?
It's quickly approaching us within the next week and I'm ready to sit and watch something spooky now! :)

Continuing on with my October Guest Design Spot for
TUESDAY THROWDOWN 
the theme they're asking for this week is
HALLOWEEN!!

So are you ready for some inspiration?  Check out my project below and don't forget to check out all of the gorgeous inspiration from the rest of the DT girls over on the challenge blog today!
If you need something to make up quickly to hang in your entry way for those little goblins that come to your door on Halloween night...I've created something that might make them feel welcome...
LOL!!  I've made this fun circle coaster banner that hangs up through the ribbons on each end.
The sponsor for the challenge this week is Meljen's Designs and I've used this sweet little Witchy Shoe Kitty image that you see over on the right side of the banner.

Here is a close up of the left side:
I've used my mom's Cricut machine to cut out the letters and the spider web and dangling spider you see in the middle circle.  The papers are retired SU! papers and the "scaredy cat" sentiment was made by me on my computer, printed and punched out.  I've also attached some stars here and there from the kitty image.  I just cut them out and added some sparkle to them.

And here is the right side of the banner with the sweet little kitty.  I've strung some black silk ribbon through all of the circle coasters so that someone could hang it up.
I've actually sold this banner at my last craft show!  I plan on making some other banners for my next craft show coming up in November. (To check out details with that, you can see more info on my Stamped Smiles Shop website.  Check out photos of what I'll be making for my next show as well as some great bargains on some stamps if you're interested!)

Here are some other challenges that I'd like to enter this banner for:
The Poodles Parlour - anything goes
Crafty Catz - Halloween
One Stop Craft - anything goes
Just Some Lines - Happy Halloween
Sentimental Sunday - Halloween
Stamptacular Sunday - no rules!
Sweet Stampin' - Boo!  It's Halloween!
Pile it On - Any Holiday
The Pink Elephant (TPE171)- Halloween

So don't forget to join in all of the last minute Halloween fun you can have this week!! :)
I look forward to seeing what you all come up with!
(This will probably be my last making of Halloween because I have to get geared up for Christmas now!)
I hope to be around to visit with you all very soon!  Thanks so much for hanging out with me and I'll be back again soon with something fun for ya!!
PSSSST!!!  Don't forget to enter my October Warm Wishes Blog Candy!
(There's only a week and a day left to enter!!!)

What an amazing banner Vicki. Great papers used and I love the cute stamped image. Great colouring too.

Enjoy Halloween, its not as celebrated here in the UK as in the USA. I used to love it when my son was small - great fun. He's nearly 16 now and is going to a friend's house party this year. Anyway, enough of my ramblings. Enjoy your day.
