Halloween Pan Art

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!

more halloween fun

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!!

Thanks for stopping by to read my ramblings!!!

Halloween Season

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!!

Halloween Early

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!

Cards!!!

These last couple of weeks have really been busy! This week the coordinator at Joann’s wanted me to go in and “play” with her on the Cricut Monday. That was kind of fun!

Steve has put a couple of card bases in the Cricut and we are working the kinks out of that.

It has finally turned fall here, it seems like the trees all lost their leaves in one day!

And Steve put one of my holiday block sets up on his board at work and it sold right away!!

I had my first “class” “get together” at Joann’s on Friday and that was challenging but fun! One lady had the Explore but had never used it in 2 years. The other lady had an Expressions that wouldn’t stop blinking at us. And neither of them had any of the cords, power, or computer! I’m so glad that I knew enough about both machines to help them! Both ladies went home excited and signed up to do a fabric applique class on the 4th! {Monday when I went in to “play,” the coordinator told me I have 2 other ladies signed up for it as well!!}

So this week I just have a different step card to show you. Last week the Christmas one had 5 steps, this one has 4. And this one has a back to it! They are both things Steve has put into my Cricut so I don’t have to score or cut the steps or the decorative paper on the inside! What a man!!!
