BONUS SCAREDY CAT PROJECT: 2 Cards!





Create with Care
BONUS PROJECT - 2 Cards!!



If you've seen my previous blog post using the "hauntingly" fun Scaredy Cat paper collection, you know that even after doing TWO 2 page layouts from just the paper pack and the matching Complements, you still have leftover paper.  With my extras, I decided to make these two "boo-tiful" cards!  

Check out the photos and instructions for the layouts by clicking the following link:

In addition to the scraps from the paper pack, I used these 3  items for the cards:
