Broom Hair, Don't Care! by Jeanne Jachna

Hi friends! Thanks for stopping by! I’m excited to share EIGHT cards I made with the new Simple Stories Boo Crew Collection! I admit that Halloween is my FAVORITE Holiday and that I am always anxious and excited to see the annual collection revealed!

Now more than ever I think that cards are a great way to keep in touch. I just heard that Trick or Treating is cancelled in my area to help stop the spread of Covid. I plan on sending cards with some treats to my favorite tricksters and I am sure that it will brighten their day.

This collection is only available in the 12” paper size. To make the papers easier to manage I cut them down into 6” squares. The sheet of tags and journaling cards are cut apart, and I lay them all out on my desk so I can see all the patterns and pieces.

I arrange the bits and pieces and chipboard on sheets of clear plastic the same size as my card front. This makes it easy to pick up the entire sheet and lay it over different pattern papers so I can envision my card before I commit and adhere everything in place.

The decorative brads have gotten even easier to work with. The metal prongs on their backs have been replaced by adhesive so they’re easy to stick in place. The sheet even includes a few more chipboard stickers to embellish your creations with.

My favorite part of every Simple Stories Collection is the bits and pieces. I love arranging all the little die cut pieces. Just looking at all they little images puts me in the mood to make! It’s a good thing no one can hear me ooh and ahh as I sort through them.
