No, you are not seeing things and I did not misspell the word "witch" for my page title. When my oldest daughter was 2, she called witches, "itches". It was really the cutest thing! So, when we found this fancy witch costume, we knew it would be absolutely perfect for her for Halloween. In an effort to not be too scary, we called her a Glitter Witch. The Cottage Cutz Flying witch is the perfect addition to Halloween pages and projects where you don't want a scary witch! Actually, as I was putting her together, I kind of had the feeling she might be a little bit of a Diva witch with a little outfit tweaking!
I think as women, wives and mothers we feel like a witch now and then. After all what would our husbands, kids and bosses do without us nagging - I mean reminding them of what they're supposed to do? This card/sign tells it all with a little humor doesn't it?
If you want to take your creativity one step further, you could actually replace a letter with a shape that matches the theme of your layout or card. For instance, if you were using Halloween as your title, change the o to a small pumpkin, the n to a screeching cat, the l to a witches broom, and so on. You can have equally as much fun with lots of other themes and holidays.(this card is cuter in real life, for some reason purple doesn't photograph real well for me)
I also used this cute little spider from the Witch Hat die which comes complete with tiny eyes that make him so fun to use.
I couldn't resist showing you this. The leg is indeed a leg, not just a straight piece. You actually slip the foot into the shoew - how cool is that!?
On my second page, I used a grid pattern to include lots of pictures. I broke up the rows by using different shaped pictures and also by adding a square of patterned paper and then the square containing my Haunted Mansion using the Cottage Cutz Haunted House die. I love how it really resembles the actual Disney Mansion! 
It is amazing how different the house can look by using different papers and leaving off some of the different embellishments that this die has. I can't wait to use this Haunted House on a fun Halloween card, too!! Oops! Did I just give away my next post?! ;)
I have to say that this CottageCutz Halloween release has got to be my favorite so far. This CottageCutz Pumpkins Stacked die was so simple to put together and I love the detail. This 2x2 ghost die is a must have because he can be added to just about any Halloween card or layout and he's so cute and simple. I just cut him out of white and then put a tiny piece of black behind the eyes and have him some cheeks and he's done.
It's not even October yet so be sure to order your Halloween CottageCutz dies so you can use these great dies all month long!
I thought the Cottage Cutz Candelabra would make a great and maybe unexpected addition to a Disney Haunted Mansion page! Remember during the ride where you see the floating candelabra?! I also used my silhouette to cut out my title from the font Old English which is equivalent to the QK Haunted alpha. I wanted to make sure that my layout looked spooky without looking Halloweeny.

I cut out my window in black and purple and layered them for dimension. I shaded around the purple layer. I backed it with some gray cardstock and added some little window markings with my black Zig pen. I also used the pumpkin from the Quickutz Cornacopia die and the ghost die. The little ghost is from the Treat bag die.
