Halloween Decorations

I have another fun Halloween decoration to share with you today. This one is so fun and easy to do with your little ones too! Start out by picking some Halloween (this would work for any holiday) washi tape. I had some really fun ones.

Next I removed the light switch covers off the wall. One of my daughters was so excited she got right to it! She started covering the cover with washi tape.

Here she is just about done with the last one.

Look how pretty they look! Quick and fun project that adds just little extra fun to your walls.

Now to get them all put back on the wall.

Is that something you think you would do? Let me know in the comments, I would love to know.

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Halloween Wreath

Good morning! With Halloween around the corner I figured I needed a cute wreath to go on my door. Nothing says Halloween to me like orange and black and when I found some chevron burlap I knew I had to incorporate it somehow. Here's what I came up with.

Adorable! Right!? I found the letters at Michael's, I painted them black and then added a bit of glue to adhere some glitter. A little bit of sparkle adds a bit of dazzle. ;) I hot glued the letters together and then tied them onto the wreath with some twine. 

Have you got all your Halloween decorations up yet? How soon and up to how late in the month do you continue to decorate? 

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Moxxie {A Halloween Treat}

Good morning! Has the Halloween bug bit you yet? I LOVE Halloween! So much fun stuff! The best part is finding excellent paper collections to play with and Moxxie has an AMAZING one....

Isn't it AWESOME!? I've had so much fun using it on my layouts but I wanted to do something different  this go around. I found a fun pattern in the Silhouette store called a Tootsie Treat Box and created some using Moxxi'es Zombie Attack!

They turned out AWESSOME! I love how fast and easy they were to put together and the best part was being able to make them different sizes. I just wrapped some bakers twine to the ends to hold them closed and made a little 3x3 card to with them.

I did a bit of fussy cutting with the hands and the blood dripping off the top. 

Fun, easy and quick, 3-things I love when making a project! :) 

Do you have some fun projects going for Halloween?

I used Moxxie's awesome new line Zombie Attack & combined it with Moxxie's line All Hallow's Eve. I love how well these two lines mix together! I even made the cute little broom down in the bottom right hand corner our of some scraps, linen thread & a toothpick! I just cut a scrap of my background paper into small thin strips then I bundled them together and tied them off with some linen thread. I used a toothpick for the handle, I broke off one of the pointy ends and sanded it down to so it was round and then stuck the other pointy end into my little bundle of paper strips. Here's a close up...

I fussy cut around the tree and the little spider web, then hung and placed some fun glittery spiders on them. I also did some ink splatters using Heidi Swapp Black Velvet Color Shine and some Xmas Red Stickles.

Moxxie {Beware Zombies & Blog Hop}

Good morning! Are you ready for an kick butt AWESOME blog hop today!? I sure hope so because the Moxxie Muses have brought their "A" game and are going to blow you out of the water with the new Moxxie lines! Wahoo! So that being said, WELCOME to the Moxxie New line blog hop! On my blog I get to show you the awesome ZOMBIE ATTACK line...

Is it not AWESOME!? I love this line. It's perfect for Halloween which is right around the corner. :)
I jumped right in and created an awesome 2 page layout. Now I need to give you a bit of backstory to these pictures so you don't think my kids dress like this on a daily basis! lol ;) My daughters have been sooo bored over the summer break that they decided they needed to create a zombie video (gotta love their imagination). My older two voted that the youngest should be the zombie and they did the "make up" on her. Let me tell you, she made a very good zombie! I'm sure their movie will become a Blockbuster some day! ;)

These pictures and the Zombie Attack line were meant to be! Here's a close up of my title.

Here is a close up of one the hands I fussy cut "popping" out of the page. My girls loved these! They kept telling me they were so awesome and creepy! lol

Then on the fibers I tried to find some that was similar looking to gauze and "dirtied" up a bit with red & brown ink to make it look like it might of come off a zombie. 

Pretty cool line, isn't it? :) Thanks so much for stopping by and make sure to join us for the blog hop and see what the other Muses created! You won't be disappointed! :)

One Spooky Night

This past year for Halloween we decided to do something fun! We picked a theme and ran with it! We went with Alice in Wonderland. I was the Queen of Hearts, my daughters were- Alice, the White Rabbit and the Cheshire Cat. My husband was an excellent Mad Hatter! lol It was so much fun putting these costumes together. Fun times!
So as I'm going through my stash of goodies I knew I wanted to find something fantastic to create a layout with this picture and take on Memorable Seasons stash-busting challenge. And that's when I found it! An acetate overlay with foil from Little Yellow Bicycle! Totally forgot when & where I got it! I started with a sheet of gray Bazzil cardstock and I some heat embossing to get the black diamond pattern behind the picture. Love the way the black embossing powder turned out!
I also added some Tim Holtz Pumic Stone Distress ink and some
Stampin' Up! Whisper white ink to the page. I was a little hesitant about the white I applied all over the page but with the overlay it was perfect! I also cut out my own cute little banners and used some black & white hemp cord to string them across. Once was I was done with the cardstock I then placed the acetate overlay over my layout. Doesn't it look awesome!?

Halloween Decor

I've had this one for awhile but absolutely LOVE it! I love Halloween but really don't have much in the way of decorations. I can't ever find stuff at the store that I REALLY love, they always seem kind of cheesy to me. But I do have a stamp set that I LOVE and thought it would be perfect to make something with that! So I ran to the Dollar Store (love it there!) and bought a frame and then came home and starting putting things together. I stamped out the images, picked out some great Halloween paper to go with it and Ta-da! We have a cool Halloween decoration! Of course I couldn't stop there, I had to drill some holes in the frame to do wire through them and hang it up! Simple, fast and easy! Love projects that go that work out that well.
