I've created a really fun, creepy tag using some of the new Tim Holtz Halloween goodies.  I cut the tag shape from a cardboard box.  I then exposed some of the corrugated insides and then painted the tag purple.  I used some gauze from our first aid kit for some interest in the background...LOL!  And I used Oxides to ink the tombstone.

CC October Monthly Challenge: Halloween Home Decor

For my home decor project I used a little black tree I got on clearance at one of the crafty stores at the end of the Halloween season last year.  So, I couldn't wait to get started on this one :-)

I used ribbons to dress up my little black tree.

I used the Happy Hauntings Cricut cart for all my cuts:
witch @2 1/2"
witch's hat @ 2 1/2"
frankenstein @ 3 1/2"
mummy @ 3 1/2"
cat @ 3"
boot @ 3"
cauldron @ 3"

Ribbons by Ribbon Boutique (HL), Diamond & Lavendar Stickles, MS black glitter glue, red bling, pop dots, My Mind's Eye Lime Twist Life of the Party "Be You" twine, sew easy twine in lilac.

Another couple pics of it all together.  It was a little tricky to photograph :-)  (sorry, my pics aren't the best)

Thanks for stopping by today!  Good luck to all in this challenge!

CC Blogiversary Challenge: Cuttlebug

Okay, two Cricut cuts and my Cuttlebug for this one.  Easy peasy :-)

Recipe:
A2 size card

Happy Hauntings Cricut cart - Frankenstein @ 3 1/2", Frame3 @ 4 3/4" (i cut off the bats)
Elegant Edges Cricut cart - Branch @5", 2 3/4"

Cuttlebug embossing folders - Distressed lines, Seeing spots (debossed this one)

Black glitter ribbon by Celebrate It/Basic-basic (M's), pop dots, MS drippy goo edge punch, black Zig pen for stitches doodling.

I ended up cutting the top of his head in green by hand because the stitches ended up way too thick.  So, I  just used the Cricut cut [from the top of his head] as a pattern and then doodled my own stitches with my Zig pen.  It looks so much more real this way :-)

Thanks for stopping by today!  Good luck to all in this challenge!

It was easy to decide which stamp set to go to on this one.  I wanted to use one I haven't used yet.  It was calling me...LOL!!  I also used Happy Hauntings Cricut cart that I finally got after the holiday last year.  This was the first time I used it, too.  So much fun playing with new toys.  The pic didn't show the sparkly Stickles very well...
