Halloween Decor ~ Thankful Thursday Design Team

Hey everyone! Thanks for stopping by today. Our design team today has created lots of Halloween Decor to help get your creative juices flowing. I have to start by saying that I am totally addicted to Pinterest. Thanks Emily!  ;)

I had "repinned from someone elses pin" this cute ghost quite a while ago and when I saw what the challenge was for today, I knew I had to try it. I was really nervous last night when I started working on it that it wasn't going to dry in time and it wasn't going to stand up on its own. It took many times of spraying with the starch and letting it dry and spraying again and letting it dry. I put wiggly eyes and a bow on my "girl" ghost. Here's how it turned out:

Sorry if the pictures are blurry. I'm having some steadiness issues. I think my little ghost turned out so cute. What do you think? I'd love to hear your comments. Go on over to Crazy About Cricut's blog and check out all the other design team projects. They are pretty awesome!

My Pinkalicious Blog Hop

So, Friday was the My Pinkalicious Blog Hop over at My Pink Stamper. The challenge for this months blog hop was to make a goodie bag or 3-D item that is for a Holiday. Any Holiday or Occasion. I went with making a little goodie bag to hold some Halloween treats. I think this one will be for my neighbors. I know they are going through a rough time and I'm hoping this will bring some Halloween cheer to them if there is such a thing. :)

Click here to view the tutorial on this box. I also made a matching card to go with it. I think it turned out cute! I stickled the heck out of the pumpkin! :)

Hope you all like my creations today! Thanks for stopping by and stop by again real soon!

Thankful Thursday Design Team

Hey Everyone! Today our Design Team was to make a project with a monster on it. I just made a card this time, but I think it turned out pretty cute. This was my first time adding tulle to a card and I love the look it gives the card.

The little monster on the card is a Doodlebug Design Doodle-Pop. I think these are soooo cute. I got a few of them at Archiver's but I've seen them all over the internet. The stamp "Too Cute To Spook" is just a cheap wooden stamp that my Wal-Mart started carrying. I also got the bat ribbon at Wal-Mart in the scrapbooking section. I also added a little bit of purple stickles in the "O's" of Spook.

I was feeling soooo creative, I decided to make a second card. :)  Thanks for stopping by everyone! Go on over to Crazy About Cricut's blog and check out the other design team members monster projects.

Thankful Thursday Fall/Halloween Blog Hop!

Now, on to my project. I found this idea on the Martha Stewart website. I thought they were cute Halloween decorations. I decided to make a cat and a pumpkin.

Step #1 ~ Accordian fold an 8.5 by 11 inch piece of paper in 1/2 or 3/4 inch folds. I used my Martha Stewart score board to make equal scores at 1/2 inch for the pumpkin and 3/4 inch for the cat.

Step #2 ~ I used my bone folder to make my folds sharp and to bend my folded paper in half to form a fan.

Step #3 ~ You will do this folding to two pieces of paper, but then I did mine a little bit different than the directions on the website. I put the two pieces together by tying them with thread through the center and using Red Line Craft tape to form a circle. See below.

Step #4 ~ Then I just used scraps of paper to cut out the facial features for each decoration. Here is the finished pumpkin.

 And here is the finished cat.

Well, I hope you enjoyed my project today. Thank you for joining us! Now head on over to see what the talented Gaby at http://www.gabycreates.com/ has created for you today!
