It's Halloween All Over Again and a Giveaway!

Hi Everyone, happy Wednesday and Happy Halloween!  No I haven't lost my mind!!  I know Halloween is over, but I wanted to share some pictures with you!  A few months ago I received a request to make and sell one of my previous projects, she told me she wasn't very crafty.  I've never done this before, however I decided to go ahead and do it.  Well last week Linda sent me pictures of her decorated home!  I was so blown away I asked  her permission to share them with you!!  She may not be crafty, but she has AMAZING style and taste!!!

 

Can you see what I made?  Yes it's the Trick or Treat Shadow Box!  This is one of my most popular posts and my most "pinned" too!

Love the fun hanging stockings!  Never would have thought of that for Halloween!

Her tree is just a wonderful treat!

Oh my goodness I want a skeleton for my table now!!!!

 

Just so know, I won't be making anymore of these shadow boxes to sell.  For instructions to create your own click HERE.

 

Thank you Linda for letting me share your beautiful home with my followers!

My Guest Designer Week at Everyday Cricut ~ Mini Album!

It's happy Monday here at my blog and I'm over the "Halloween Moon" today!  Why you ask?  I have been asked to be a Guest Designer all week over at Everyday Cricut!  This is beyond cool! 

 

Of course I had to come up with some fun projects this week, I hope you think they are too!  For today's project  I wanted to create a fun Halloween Mini Album!  I don't make them very often, but I think that's about to change...this was so much fun to make!

To create my album pages, I used cereal boxes.  I love the idea of up cycling!

I stitched a bit on the cover and popped up the scary cat!

If you didn't know, I tend to think that my projects aren't complete without a bit of glitter!  So I glittered the ghost! :)

After cutting the banner, I stamped it with the "boo" and more glitter on this ghost! :)

Yes, the skull is glittered! lol

The black frame was embossed with Swiss Dot Cuttlebug folder

 

I used a stamp to create the "pattern" paper too.

 

Lastly I added ribbon on the ring for some added fun!

EAD Design's Monday Hop!

Hi,

Happy Monday and Happy EAD Designs Monday Hop!  I just love to start the week out with a quick hop!  You should have arrived here from the amazing Lauren, if not why don't you head over to EAD Designs for the start!  I decided to make a layout for Disneyland pictures.  I know this layout doesn't seem like Disneyland, but really it does make sense if you've been there during Halloween ~ Christmas!  Well, I would have added my pictures, but I couldn't find them, so they'll have to wait, but I couldn't wait to post it!

sorry for the bad lighting, this is after photo shop! oops!

recipe:

Happy Haunting Cricut Cartridge

tombstones cut 2.58 x 3.35

letters cut 1.00

Trick or Treat Shadow Box!

Good morning to all my spooky followers!

It's the "Fun~mare Before Halloween"  Blog Hop!  You should have arrived from Linda at Krazy Quilling, she is super creative!  To start from the beginning, go to Jess at Kinder Stampo...there is lots of blog candy give aways going on so be sure to check out all the blogs along the way!

Now on to my project...I've seen a few of these types of pictures going around, so of course I had to add a twist or two!  It's hard to see but I added glass etching for the moon.  And of course Halloween wouldn't be the same with out my favorite...candy corns, which are under the glass.  I hope you enjoy and get some ideas so you can create your own!

Recipe:

T shirt 12 x 12 frame

Happy Hauntings cart

house cut 5.18 x 7.07

trick or treat cut 6.41 x 1.60 out of vinyl

ghost cut 1.05 x 1.24 don't forget to flip one

Holiday Cake

moon and bat cut 6.68 x 1.96 out of vinyl

bat use regular piece

moon use the part you would normally throw away as a stencil for the glass etching

A Child's Year

cut the kids at 3" high

cut shadow based on 3" high regular piece

Bazzill paper

Stampin Up stamps

after I did mine I thought of this~ etch the inside part of the glass, it seemed to show up better.  I was unable to turn the glass around or I would have. 

When assembling leave enough room for the candy corns!  The hard part is looking at the candy corns and not being able to get to them!  I think they call it a diet! :)

Ok your next stop should be Madison Funky Cards...I can't wait to see what she'll come up with!  If you get lost along the way, the list is right here for to get back on track!

  Enjoy!

****Big Blog Hop on Saturday!  The Fun~Mare Before Halloween *****


Hi!

Yippie it's the weekend!  I've been so busy today with tons of "UnFun" stuff, that this is the first moment that I've had to "play with scissors"!  Oh I did go to my daughter's soccer game today and that was fun!  It's fun to see her play at the college level after taking a year off!

Ok, enough of my stuff, on to the card...

***Big Problem,  I updated my computer today and now all my writing programs (email, word , blogger) are not working properly!  Basically I have a hand instead of a cursor and it doesn't let you do anything like cut & paste, etc... I know it a setting that needs to be corrected, but don't know where!  If you have any ideas, please let me know***

"PROJECT A DAY" for the month of October, Day 10!

Good Morning!

Nicole from Canadian Nickel Scrapn was in a blog hop for Momo's Birthday this weekend, and while I was visiting Nicole's blog, she had "This is Halloween" playing.  I know it's from the movie the Nightmare Before Christmas, but it always reminds me of The Haunted Mansion at Disneyland during fall and into the holidays when they change it!  And to top it off, on Friday I got a Disney magazine in the mail, (I'm sort of a Disney freak) so I've had Disney on the brain!  So my card today is inspired from a picture in the magazine...the evil Queen with the apple for Snow White.  I hope you like!

Recipe:

Cricut Sampler cart
