Good morning everyone!  Welcome to the Scor-pal/Little Darlings blog hop! Today we are featuring some fun projects using the Scor-pal/Scor-buddy along with the newly released Fall/Halloween Little Darlings stamps. If you came here from Myrna's blog, then you are in the right spot. If not, you will want to start from the beginning at the Scor-pal blog so you don't miss any of today's projects. There will be some Little Darlings stamps given away by Love to Stamp and Scor-pal will be giving away a Scor-buddy to one person randomly chosen from all comments left. The more comments you leave the better your chances of winning. You can also increase your chances of winning a Scor-buddy in other ways as well so check out the Scor-pal blog for complete details.

My husband has started a nasty habit of smoking cigar which I am not fond of at all!  But on the up side he gives me the empty cigar boxes to decorate!  That is what my project is made from today!



I used Tim Holtz hardward for the legs and my designer paper is from Fancy Pants Oct. 31.  The little spiders are from Jolee and the large metal spider is actually a pin you where on your shirt and is from Michaels.  I sanded the cigar box and wiped it with Black Soot Distress Ink.  The spider web skirt is from a Martha Stewart punch.


The image is called "Tricks or Treats" and is available at Love to Stamp.

I love this particular cigar box because it had cool partitions in the inside.

To make the large rosette on the cover I used a piece of 2" x 12" piece of designer paper and punch it with a Martha Stewart punch.  Score every 1/2", turn it over line it up on the 1/4" mark and score again every 1/2".  Fold back and forth and attach the end together with Scor-Tape to create a cirlce.




For the ribbon I used Stampin Up! black grosgrain ribbon, I liked it because it was a little stiffer then regular ribbon.  Score every 1/2".
Place a piece of Scor-Tape on the back and fold to create tabs.  I used six tabs on each side and a loop of ribbon for the middle.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have lots of fun hopping and good luck!

Your next stop is the fabulous Mindy. She has an awesome project waiting for you!!

Lisa, great way to recycle those cigar boxes and dress them up nicely later:-) It's gorgeous and I would never have thought it was a cigar box if you hadn't mentioned it in the first place.
