Mr. Cricut Crazy Design Team Post!

It's funny how fast the weekends just fly by, I sure do wish they were longer sometimes!  But you are here to see a project not to hear me complain!

For today's card I used the stamp Dads, Dad from Mr. Cricut Crazy and I must tell you when it comes time to Tanner's stamps you must think outside the box as there are so many possibilities.  The sentiment that I choose was "Your Too Cool" and hopefully you will understand the concept behind my using it after seeing my card!!


To create this card I used the MS punch, spellbinders die, SU punch and Jolly Holidays cricut cartridge for the snowman hence the sentiment snowmen are "cool".   I used a peachy keen stamp for the face, brads for the buttons, twine for the trim of HER hat, copic blush marker for the cheeks and liquid pearls for the blades of the skates. I adhered a couple of pearls to the sentiment punch and used my white gel pen around the spellbinders die.

Too cute heh!!  Be sure to come back a little later to see my Halloween post!!

Altered Wooden Frame

Well my party was a success!  Everyone had fun, food turned out great and everyone brought a carved pumpkin and dressed up! 

This altered frame that I made was a the winning gift for the best carved pumpkin!  The winning frame went to my parents who had the winning pumpkin best on the results of the judging on facebook!

I crackled the frame and used a combination of IAR, WOC and Recollection flowers.  The felt pieces are from Close To My Heart and the large skull is from Dollarama.  


I covered the backside with Tim Holtz Tissue Tape which I received from Julene and then modge podge it!



The winning pumpkins!!  Mama bird feeding her baby in their nest!  How sweet and so creative!


Tomorrow is the big day and I will have a couple of posts for you!!

Home Decor Witches Hat

Good morning everyone!  Today I will be busy getting ready for my Halloween Party!  Exciting!  | have another home decor project for you which I cannot take credit for Nancy over on YT was my inspiration for this one!  Thanks Nancy!




I used a piece of chipboard for the base and a paper mache cone for the hat.  I purchased an assortment of floral from Michaels and of course just had to add I Am Roses to my project.  I used Lindy's to spray a tint of purple glitz to the hat and voila, perfecto!!  I love it and will be keeping it around for a few years to come.

Enjoy the rest of your day and will see you back here tomorrow!

Halloween Banner

Good morning Monday!  Well over the course of the weekend I managed to clean up the disaster in my craft room of Fridays events.  What a mess but having said that it gave me the opportunity to organize and purge.  I just might have to do another room tour video!

To go along with my Halloween countdown I have another home decor project for you.  With all the hype with banners I had to try one for myself!  I am happy with the way it turned considering it is my first one.





I have used the birthday bash cricut cartridge for the banner which was cut with chipboard at 6' and covered with patterned paper on both sides of banner.  The Art Philosophy cartridge was used to cut the scallop circle and circle at 4.25' and 3.25'.  I also embossed the circles with the swiss dots embossing folder.  The letters were cut with the Birthday Bash Cartridge at 2.75'. The Happy Hauntings Cartridge was used to cut the shoe at 2.25' and the hat at 2.25'.  I have also used the Martha Stewart leaf, bat and spider punches.  Black tulle was used to tie the banner together.  

I have also included a picture of some of my previous home decor projects on display in my home.


Thank you for stopping by and will see you back here tomorrow!
