SO FOR MY DAY 2 PROJECT!!
This is a simple little trinket box I picked up at Michaels  for 1.50. I brought it home and painted it black and just put little orange dots on the edges using the tip of the paint brush. I then embellished the top of the little box with the flowers that I made using the cut file
"Flowers Design Collection 1"
We have created tutorials on how to create this flower and 5 others on Youtube! Look to the right of my blog and on Creative Kuts blog and you will find a link to the tutorials!







Here is the completed little box!




This is front of the little box. You can't see in the picture (because I painted it) but it has a elastic cord that holds the box closed. 
Here is the little box with a dime on it to show you how small the flowers can be made and still look  GREAT!!







Here is a larger flower. This flower was too large to add to the little box, but again wanted show you the different sizes you can make with the cut file!


Now for my blog candy.... you must leave a comment here (both days)AND on Creative Kuts blog and Creative Kuts Facebook fan page  to be eliglible for $10.00 gift certificate at CK's store.

Thanks for stopping by 

Your next stop is Anna's blog

Now for my Day 1 project

I used several file cuts for this project. 
The haunted house is from the "Halloween Theme"
The cute little witch and the cauldron and the title are from "Trouble Brewing" The ghost and the moon and witch silloute are from the Cut file "Beware" the Broom and the witches shoes are from the one of the "Halloween Candy Wrappers"

I  used paper from SEI - Eerie Alley Paper Collection. The Border is punched with a Martha Stewart border punch. Hard to tell from this pic but the fence is popped up and there is LOTS of inking going on.  
Now for my blog candy.... you must leave a comment here AND on Creative Kuts Facebook fan page (both days) to be eliglible for $10.00 gift certificate at CK's store.
