Tagged: Halloween Crafts

Kathyrn tagged me... So I thought I'd post some Halloween crafts that I have been working on;
Oh- I tag- Emily, Ali, Lori, & Vicki

This is a treat basket for a couple of girls at church that I visit each month. It was easy to make. Using a circle punch, punch out cardstock in graduating sizes , I got the scalloped circle off a cricut cartridge. Then glue the circles to York peppermint patties. Then use bamboo skewers to make them stand up in the treat bucket. The bucket is a cauldron that I got at Target for $1, I just used E6000 glue to glue a piece of styrofoam to the bottom so the skewers had something to stand in. Then just tied some ribbons and make a quick card.

I thought it would be fun to have a mini scrapbook to put out each Halloween that showcased some of our Halloween costumes from past years. This is a 6x6 Acrylic album that I got from CTMH. It's was pretty easy to make, just remember since the pages are clear that you have to think of what will show up on the back side of each page. I used alot of different products on the book- rub-0n's work great and seem to stick to the acrylic well. I liked the way it turned out, I might have to make another one for Thanksgiving pictures each year.

My creative space

I still need to take some better pictures- it's getting more and more cleaned up everyday- here are a few pics from about 1 month ago.

My Craft room- This is as close as I will ever get to my dream craft room. Jeff put in the floor and cabinets himself- the green cabinets will get painted with chalkboard paint in the center (soon I hope- we are running out of steam)..
View in the door- the big Island is my Scrapbook work area- it is from IKEA- it is made of 3 upper wall cabinets with a Kitchen Countertop on top.. so far it's a great worksurface.

My cutting table- LOVE THIS! It's big enough to spread out drapery fabric.. the fabric on the wall is a metal sheet I covered with Fabric to make a magnet board to hold pattern cutting instructions etc...

My sewing table and "cubbies" for embellishments- I keep them by color The black cube cabinet holds all my fabric- I like to keep it folded and out so I can see it - I get ideas better that way..
The room has been ALOT of work and there is still alot of work yet to be done (notice the boxes all over the floor and tables)..
