Halloween 12 hour Crop

Hi all

Yesterday a fantastic scrap store near by had a 12 hour scrap day/night....as i was on the wait list i only got a spot a few weeks ago so with all my kids parties i totally forgot about the dressing up part of the day!

Thankfully it doesn't take much to turn me into a witch!! just ask my husband!!

when i arrived i got shown to my seat...i was with a bunch of witches!! we made up the four witches of scrap....i was Provo witch & Carlene was stuck in the 80's and the 2 other witches were just plain scary....i heard one witch crossed over to the dark side & bought a blue machine that doesn't sound as good as our pink cricuts!!

Here we are at the beginning of the day looking spooktacular

I had a crazy witchy idea to make the haunted house from happy hauntings cart....after i cut out all my pieces Carlene came flying back to her seat & her cape blew several pieces away & i lost a piece lol so i had to cut it again!! It took forever...or felt like it... was a few hours thats for sure...i wouldn't recommend it if you are either looking after kids, drunk or have no patience...as you really need to be able to think how the pieces go together!! I cut the windows out of vellum so that i could put a battery operated candle inside. Im yet to make it look more spooky & have plans today to cut some trees ect out...my youngest son told me it needs a ghost!

We were all given a frame to decorate..i did mine in a hurry so that i could get on with the house that everyone told me would take all day....Inspired then took all our pics to go in them which was a great idea...i am going to put mine on a layout later!

I think this was someones husband....he might be a reg....he waited ages for his wife to stop scrappin'...poor guy!!!

I will be back later with some of the pages i got done for some challenge blogs!!

thanks for flying in to have a look

Caution treats wanted!!

Im back again today!! Here is a layout i just made using my Happy Hauntings Cartridge. Halloween isnt all that big here in Australia...well not where i live...but we do get an occasional kid or 2 every few years...last year my daughter wanted to go so bad...so i let he go with 2 of her friends & their mum & nana...just around the block they live on...which included my mums house...so she took some pics when they reached there....mind you it was quite a hot day so the green on her friends face had melted away...quite funny!!

Im entering this in the challenge over on Cher's Studio This to That tuesday Challenge....Go check it out & enter!!


Today the parcel man bought me some Cricut reward items!! I got the Green water bottle & the mini backpack!! Just in time for my Bug Day on Thursday!!! Cant wait to use & abuse miss pink on that day!!

Hope you have found some time to get crafty!!

Halloween & christmas ...Crafting ahead

Hi all

Well what a good weekend we had...apart from youngest being sick. Friday night my mum & i went to a Stampin' up catalogue launch...its the first time Ive been to one of those...it was fun moving from table to table creating amazing cards!! My mum was so funny half way through the 2nd card she asks me...so whats this company called??...ummm mum...where have you been hiding?? So i told her all about it...what info i had anyways & she had big plans to go check out a catalogue when we were done...but when that time came she disappeared for what felt like hours...i placed my order & went in search of her...to find her out in the cold chatting to my friend mykaela, who had said goodbye ages ago!! As i was in my search my darling hubby text to ask where i was...as he came to pick us up & was in the car park! so no catalogue looking for my mum that night! I may let her look at mine :)

If anyone in west Aus needs a stampin' up lady to order from head on over to Ann Gerlach's blog & check out what she has been doing

Here are the cards we made on the night

Im entering the birthday card over at The Paper Players blog ...go on..enter!!

Im also going to enter it over at Birthday Sundaes blog challenge 25...its a great blog just for birthdays!!

I also went to a cheap shop Thursday night & bought some wreaths for Christmas...i got a pack of 2 for $2!! I'm thinking i might need to go back & look around when im kid free....they had a lot of glad products & 3 kids plus me isn't a good mix around glass objects!!

I also got some new Washi tape from Sawyers Place
The Red Starburst Washi tape was perfect for wrapping around the Styrofoam wreath...i was amazed i still had heaps of tape left when i completed it! I then got some poinsettia paper flowers from an old Christmas embellishment pack i had & stuck them down with red berries....So easy!!

So now onto Halloween.....i got the Happy Hauntings Cricut cart for my birthday & finally got to play with it....I made a few witches shoes & a coffin...as you do!!

The Witches shoes are so easy to make..i added ribbon & added an extra bit at the top that i border punched to make it look like a sock & put ribbon behind that...reminded me of the frilly socks my mum made me wear when i was a kid. Lacing it up was so easy also!! Im entering the witches shoe over at amandascraftsandmore blog for her challenge of using ribbons All tied up challenge

The coffin i cut out of one piece of 12x12..i was going to use my gypsy but she flashed a deathly red & didn't stay on...so as i was already sitting at my computer i plugged in the Design Studio...I'm yet to check out the new craft room! I then embossed it with my cuttlebug with the wood grain embossing folder.

I was going to enter the treat box into a challenge but i cant find the blog at the moment....if i find it will enter lol

Have a great day & hope all the dads out there had a great fathers day yesterday!!
