Sorry I have so much Halloween that we are past the holiday and still posting ideas! But we found so may fun things this year!

These next two thing are wood that we found at the local craft store for under $5.00. They both have lights in them, the 3 pumpkins one changes colors and blinks and the house one is just a solid.

So the pumpkins we gently took the light out and spray painted it black. The house one I just painted with a brush.  Then we scanned them into my Cricut software and started to play with the sizing. Once we got the sizing right things went pretty fast.

For the house I glued tissue paper between the light and the front to get that more diffused look.  But the light in the pumpkins had a bigger area to cover and didn’t work with tissue paper I ended up cutting each image 3 times to get what I wanted! I probably could have played with it more in the software and not cut so many times.  The house one was pretty fast, but with all the detail the pumpkins took about an hour a time to cut! Good thing I had multiple projects going that day!

Once I had the images cut out then I just glued the papers to the wood! Let that dry and give it a top sealing coat and they were done!!!

I think they turned out fun!!

When I first saw this sign in the projects for the Cricut, I thought it said Halloween. And I loved how it looked like it was black iron! But as I started to put this together for me, I noticed that it doesn’t really say Halloween as much as it says Hallo and then has it mirror imaged. I guess you can kind of just glance and see Halloween!!! Lol lol lol But once I see the other I can’t stop seeing it!

It was an easy project to do. I just cut the image out of black paper and then gray paper. Then I cut the parts off the gray where I wanted the black to show! Then I just glued the gray to the black, attached a straw and put it in a cute bucket!

Thanks for reading my ramblings!

I have always loved those bags that people line their driveway and walks with on the holidays! You know the ones that you put a candle in and the image is cut out with tissue paper behind it so it looks like a paper jack-o-lantern.

They have seemed like they would take a lot of time and effort.  But the I saw some in my Cricut images and decided to try one!  And they are super, super, super fast and easy this way!!! I can’t wait to be in our house so I can make some full size  to lead down the driveway!!!!

Here’s the tiny version!

Thanks for coming to my blog!

I love the dimensional things you can do with the Cricut! And Halloween is no exception!  They had this scene done and put under a glass dome. It didn’t have the path or the yellow moon.  I didn’t want to put it under glass for display so I just found the moon and path on another image and put them together with pop up dots! I think it is perfect for your scrapbook page or you could put it in a frame for the holiday!

These cute pans came up on my Facebook page the other day and I so wanted to make them!!!

I love how fast they go together and how different you can make yours!  They are very inexpensive, and kids could have so much fun doing them.  The post had a witch head and a frankenstein that I didn’t do this time but I definitely will do them probably for next year! Also the post just drew the faces on with sharpie marker and I cut mine out of felt on the Cricut.

So I got my pans for $.88 a little spray paint and some gauze (I used tuelle that was on sale on the rolls), some ink and goggly eyes and you are there! I added the ribbon like the post did to hang it but you could leave that off and just hang it from the pan.

This last one I just wanted to be a pumpkin and not a jack-o-latern but you could definitely cut out a face if you wanted the jack-o-lantern!

Thanks for stopping by!

Today I thought I’d show just a quick, easy way to change a bucket into a decoration.  I just bought a small, black bucket at my local craft store. And in the clearance section they had this orange washi tape.

A few minutes later and I have a cute bucket that I can fill with candy or other holiday themed items!

There are a couple of things about washi tape…one it is kind of a see through tape so the white/clear dots take on the black shade of the bucket and look kind of gray or silver in person, and it isn’t as sticky as normal tape. So I am hoping that when the orange holidays are over I can take it off and replace it with some red and green!!

As some of you may know Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and over the next few weeks I am going to be doing a lot of fun things for the holiday!!

So today it is these adorable little treat boxes. Yes they are a Cricut project! The design was in the pre-designed projects and all I had to do was cut, assemble and decorate! I did the Frankie last year but decided this year to do them all!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

My son asked for Halloween decor for his birthday that is a few weeks away. And we all know that the craft stores all have had their things out for weeks. So I thought about making him something but with the house just getting started and us moving everything, I just wasn’t in the right mindset.

So you all know how I love a bargain and how I love Tuesday Morning…well I haven’t been there in ages. So we went and we found these cute marquee light kits! And they were a really good price! You know I had to add something to them!

So I used the pattern in the ghost and hand cut it all out. Then I decided even if it took a little time that having the Cricut cut it would be easier. So I scanned the pumpkin in and it took a few tries to get it sized right, but wow it was easy after that!

I think they are cute and I hope that Alex and his little family enjoy them!
