My Pink Designer - Spookalicious!

It's that time again!  I am so excited that this month my fellow My Pink Stamper Design Team members and I are featuring one of Robyn's new stamp sets:  Spookalicious!

I LOVE Halloween!  I love the fun of costumes, the nip in the air, and of coarse - the candy!  Don't you just love seeing jars full of brightly colored candies?  It's such a fun and easy way to add a splash of color to your decor.  I picked up this jar at my local craft store and tied some black tulle around the neck in a bow.  Then I got my Mini Monsters cartridge and made the little witch.  For her little trick-or-treating bucket I used the Gypsy so I could hide the contours on the face of the pumpkin.  That way I had a clean slate to use the "Trick or Treat" stamp from Spookalicious.

Stamp:  My Pink Stamper Spookalicious
Cricut Cartridge:  Mini Monsters
Embellishments:  Stickles, Diamond Glaze, Doodlebug Design Boutique Brads, black tulle, white gel pen

Halloween layout

So...I made with this with the intent of participating in the Cuttlebug Spot challenge this week, and then after all was said and done I realized that I didn't use my Cuttlebug, at all, to make this.  Ooops!  Oh well...

Phew, this one turned out bright!

Kids Crafts!

Twice a month I have a group of 8-9 year old girls over for an activity and I thought we would decorate trick-or-treating bags this time.  So I went to my local Xpedx and found some great plain, but sturdy, plastic bags.  I would have liked to have done all the decorating with vinyl, but that would have been a little too complicated for the girls.  So we decorated with paper, vinyl, and permanent markers.  The girls had fun, and I think they turned out pretty well.  I used my Mini Monsters cartridge for the large spiders, pumpkins, and cauldrons.  The little spiders, bats, and "boo" came from the Wild Card cartridge - those were done in vinyl.

MPS Spooky Challenge

I am so excited to be participating in a My Pink Stamper Challenge!  There have been a few that I have missed lately, and I love Halloween so I really enjoyed this one.  You can view and participate in the challenge here.

Trick or Treat!

This is what I made to work on while attending a Joann open house on Saturday.  I was able to tell people about my upcoming classes and hopefully get them excited about using their Cricut!  The images are from the Mini Monsters cartridge, and the paper from DCWV and American Crafts.

And here is a layout that my 11 year old daughter made.  Isn't it good?  I am so impressed!

Critter Sketch Challenge Blog #29 - Think Fall

My attempt to think "outside of the box" with this challenge has apparently failed spectacularly, because...

My project is IN a box, a shadow box to be exact.

When I saw that the challenge was to "Think Fall" I immediately thought of Halloween.  I love this time of year for the cooler weather it brings, fresh apples, good memories, and of coarse the spookiest holiday of them all!

I made this using the Mini Monsters Cricut cartridge.  The "Happy Halloween" was applied using purple vinyl.
