Lantern - Halloween

And this is also from Over the Hill!  Very basic, but used in my mantel decorations, it looks so complicated and spooky!

Haunted mansion

As you can tell, still having fun with the October 31st cartridge!  The card shape is from Birthday Bash.

 

Bag of bones card - Halloween

This was such a fun card to make.  I used the Over the Hill cartridge, drink wrap cut and RIP cut.  And for the bones I used the October 31st cartridge, which is a Lite cartridge with some awesome cuts for Halloween!  The paper I got from Michael's.  It's a 12 X 12 K&C Company book of spooky papers and every one of them is great!

Halloween Decor - Over the Hill

Well, I've been making all sorts of decorations and cards for Halloween.  I made this urn looking vase (I'm sure there's a proper term for it) from the Over the Hill cartridge.  I made the pumpkin from 1 inch strips of paper and used it to decorate my mantel.  I don't know about you, but I love halloween!

Back to School bulletin board

Well, back to school is  in full swing and I just completed our first bulletin board of the year! Well, actually I did it a week and half ago, but I'm just now posting it!  I really wanted to do a train theme and decided to try to incorporate all the events for the PTO that we have scheduled so far and this is what I came up with.

I used the My World cricut cartridge to do the train, the Nate's ABC's for the clouds and words, and the Birthday Bash for the HOOVER letters.  The kids love to see the changes we make to their board every month, so this year I have some really colorful boards planned.  Now lets see how well I execute them!

Halloween Milk Carton Party Favors

I've been working on these little guys today.  I made 18 in total because I am hosting BUNCO this month.  Super excited to show off these little party favors!  I made them using Tags, bags, boxes and more 2 cartridge.  I used the mouth on the pumpkin from the Paper Doll cart, the triangle and circles are from George Basics.  The rest I just made up or cut up.  I originally saw these on a stampin up website that I wish I could find to give proper credit to!  Despite how they look, it didn't take me much time to piece them together!

Canning salsa

This last week my sister-in-law was here and we had a day of canning.  We live very close to Harry and David and they had a peach sale.  Peaches were 10 cents a pound!  I don't know what possessed me to be different from the crowd (except that family did not eat the peaches I canned last year), but I decided to can salsa instead.

Our dear friends are on vacation for 3 weeks and our son is house sitting and he keeps bringing home all of these beautiful peppers and I had to do something with them.  So I made salsa for us and a couple for them for a nice little returning home present.  Mighty nice of me considering it was from their garden, don't you think?

I made the label for the salsa and the oven and mitt from the From my Kitchen cart and the label on the jar is from Preserves cart.  I hope they enjoy it as much as we have!
