Halloween Goodies

I got my Halloween Goodies out to inspire me to make Halloween projects.  I love Halloween colors ... black, orange, green, purple and yellow.  Now it's time to create!

Boo! ... I'm Back!

Hopefully I'll get back to being crafty and share it with you.  I switched my shelf display for Halloween, I got the subway art printout from eighteen25, check it out they have a lot of cool ideas.  The web-like fabric is from JoAnn's, I was going to get the regular $1 ones but opted for this fabric (so I can reuse it over and over =D).  It's a bit too white for me so I'm thinking of distressing it a bit ... we'll see.

Cards Blog Challenge - Accordion Flowers

Here's my take on this week's Cards Blog Challenge - Accordion Flowers.  In lieu of the upcoming holiday, I decided to make another Halloween card.  I used K& Co Spooktacular paper line and a Cricut Paper Doll Dress Up ghost.

Matilda Matilda Matilda

It was love at first site with Cosmo Cricket's Matilda from the moment I first saw it at the company's blog.  When I finally got my hands on it, it was way more beautiful than the pictures.  Who won't love that ghost, moon and pumpkin? I really wish it was a full line ... maybe someday.

With the Matilda line I created a simple accordion picture holder with pockets.  All the patterns come together so I created tags that will hold pictures that can be interchanged.  Instead of ribbons I used black tulle to give it a different interest and finished it off with a button and some twine.

I also made a card using Matilda's line Mummy pattern and matched it up with a stamp from M's $1 bin. 

Spooktacular!

A couple of Halloween projects I did using K & Co Spooktacular paper line.  I used a house mini chipboard album from M's and covered it with paper then painted the edges with black acrylic paint.  For the card I used the scraps from the mini album and added the "Boo" sentiment from Cricut's Happy Hauntings cartridge.  To make the sentiment stand out from the busy background I covered it with glossy accents.

Older Halloween Cards

I'm trying to get into Halloween mood so I unearth a few older cards.
