13 Nights of Halloween #11, #12 & #13

Phew!  I finally made it!  I completed my 13 nights of Halloween.  It took longer than the original 13 nights, but here we are at the end.  I am kind of sad because after tonight Halloween is over.  I'll just have to start thinking about next year's Halloween! ;)

I didn't have skewers so I used chopsticks.   Work with what you've got, right?

I've been wanting to make one of these lovelies for a while now.  My first attempt at a layer cake and it's not that bad.  I should have used more frosting.  Oh well, I'll remember that for next time. 

Thank you so much for taking a peek!   

And Happy Halloween!!! 

Witchy Poo - 13 Nights of Halloween #10

Boy, I was crazy getting myself into this challenge mess. The original plan was to do something crafty for 13 nights straight. Then it changed to just weekdays. Then life gets in the way and some nights, I just don't get a chance to get messy.

But I got a chance to get something done tonight. The challenge over at BBTB2 was to use the flying witch from Happy Hauntings.  Twist my arm, why dontcha??   Sure, I'll play along!! =)



I made my first ever door hanger. I went a little crazy and made it giant sized, but it still fits on a door knob and that's all that matters. It came out simple and sweet.  And check out all of that glittery goodness. 

Thank you so much for taking a look!!

13 Nights of Halloween #9

I had to take a couple of nights off from crafting.  Let's just say I got into a fight with my cat...and I lost. =/

Seriously, I am getting tired of making treat bags. lol But this is my last post on treat bags because I am finished with mine.  Yes, I am done with them.  I finally decided on one and it wasn't the one I mentioned on my last post.  I'm a very indecisive person so you'll see me change my mind a lot.  That's just me. =P







And the back of each treat bag:




I love the way they came out and I hope my kiddos like them, too. Who am I kidding? All they care about is the candy inside. Ha!! That's OK. I love doing this kind of stuff for them! =D


Thank you so much for looking!!

13 Nights of Halloween Days 7 & 8

I tried and I tried but I didn't get to a project last night.  I was fighting with this lil' treat box and for some reason, I could not get it to work.  My head was hurting and I was really sleepy so I decided to give it a rest and save it for tonight.

It's not that complicated of a box so I'm not sure what happened.



Ding! Ding! Ding! I think I found a winner. I don't know why but I like it. There's plenty of room for treats and it wasn't that hard to make. I scored a 7x10" piece of card stock at 4" and 6" lengthwise and turned it over and scored it at 2" and 5". Then I folded it on the score lines, cut slits on each side and put it all together with some tacky tape. It sounds complicated but really it isn't. I wish you could see more of that adorable pattern paper that I used as a mat for each side, but you can't (boo!). I promise it is really cute! I topped it with a 2" strip of paper that I had punched with a border punch. I added some die cuts, a sentiment and some ribbon and called it a day.

My next project is a scrapbook layout.



Sorry about the terrible picture but I need to find a spot where I can photograph layouts.

I have been wanting to use these chipboard letters that I have (they were actually one of the first "crafty" things that I ever bought!) but the colors just weren't working out for me.  So I painted them with black acyclic paint and while they were still wet, sprinkled black glitter.  "Monster" is from Gypsy Font with the letters welded together in my Gypsy.  The spiderweb is cut from Happy Hauntings and some of those adorable glitter spiders are hanging out on it.  This layout looks pretty simple but I do love how it came out.  (I wish I had added the picture but I have no idea where I put it)

13 Nights of Halloween Day 6

I decided to take a break from crafting over the weekend to spend some quality time with my two lovelies.  But tonight it was back to work!



I'm still on the hunt for a treat box to give out, so tonight, I made the coffin box from Happy Hauntings. I've been wanting to do it for a while now and it couldn't have come out any cuter. I topped it with a rosette and a tag from one of my favorites, Mini Monograms. I finished it up with some twine and the cutest glittery spider.



This one came out super duper cute but I still haven't found the one. The search continues...

Thank you so much for taking a peek!!
