Sassy Witch Shaker Cards

I have been oogling over this witch image from the Silhouette store for some time now.  What to do?  Turn it into a shaker of course.

Trick or Treat

Trick or Treat, smell my feet.  My kids will be saying that ad nausem in just a few short weeks I am sure.  Here is my second set of Halloween shakers.  The process is the same - find a cute tag, add some layers in the Silhouette Studio software, and wallah!

Let the Halloween Shaker Card Parade Begin . . .

Bad news for those of you who are tired of shakers - I have a bunch more and I haven't seen or felt the light at the end of the tunnel.  So you are going to have to bear with me for some time to come.  I did, however, pull out my Halloween bin.  I actually don't have nearly as much as I used to have, which is a good feeling!  

So here is the first of two Halloween sets that I have recently made.  I took a frame from the Silhouette store and turned it into a shaker.  I added some Halloween sequin confetti that I found at the party store, along with a bunch of cute little beads.

Halloween Goodness Post Halloween

I meant to get these posted on the big day.  And then I forgot my memory card so I couldn't download the pictures.  Such is life.  So here they are today.  Post Halloween, looking no less cute if I may say so myself.  These are treat bags my girlfriend Brandy and I made for her kids Halloween party.  My kids are getting a little older and don't really appreciate this stuff anymore so it's nice to have little ones to who still like to see the pretty stuff!

 

As I did with my last Halloween project I went digging in my big Halloween supply bucket.  Everything you see here is from my stash! Including the bags.  I love it when that happens . . .

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Halloween Night 2012

Every year, not long terribly before Halloween I get into the Halloween mood by scrapping last year's Halloween pictures.  Why should 2013 be any different?  This is a Halloween layout featuring pictures of the cutest boys ever from last Halloween's adventures.  My youngest son decided he was going to be a hot dog.  Yep.  And my oldest son was knee deep in a Mario Bros. phase at the time.  Thankfully we've moved on but I shudder to think what this year is going to look like.  That said, I was a bit low on mojo but wanting to scrapbook anyway so I  went searching my Pinterest boards for inspiration, and ultimately decided on a scraplift because I loved the original page so much.  I adore the wonderful Laura Vegas and this is a scraplift of a page of hers that you can find here.  Thank you Laura for that much needed inspiration!

Like many of you, or maybe not so many of you, I have a big bucket storage container full of Halloween crafty goodness.  I decided last year that I would NOT allow myself to purchase any new Halloween paper or embellishments because it was  getting slightly out of control.  With that said, I pulled out the bucket storage container and found some things that I think work quite well together.  This is a mixture  paper from  My Mind's Eye Mischevious, along with Stampin' Up Halloween paper, and a bit of DCWV cardstock.  A bit of washi, some brads and twine, and sparklies and I was set!

Halloween Lanterns - Is it THAT time of year again?

I've been in a Halloween mood.  I am not sure why, but I am ready to see some spooky projects on crafting blogs/boards.  Of course I haven't ordered my kid's Halloween costumes yet, but eh, I'll get around to it.  This morning I decided to do a bit of glass etching on a lantern, spooky style.

One of the hardest things to do is photograph a lantern or a mirror so I apologize for the the pictures.  Also, this is not my best etching work.  There are a few imperfections, and again, I'm seeing this grainy etched surface in a few places.  I am beginning to think that that batch of etching creme I was using was defective in some way.  I am so full of excuses today! No worries though.  It's good enough for display on the porch on Halloween and around the house until then.
