A Card with Bite!

Yay, it's Halloween! Unfortunately this year I didn't get to decorate (issues!) but I did get a chance to make this fun Dracula card. All of the cuts are from Happy Hauntings, and I think maybe next year I will make my Halloween Decorations with that card if I have time. 

And I had the perfect sentiment stamp from Stampendous for the inside. 

Have a Happy and Safe Halloween!

Creepy Night Card

Yes, another halloween card for you! Sorry about the darkness of this picture, but I didn't realize how it came out and I've already mailed it so I can't take the pic over. 

This is a cute card I just couldn't resist making. The window is from the Christmas solutions cartridge, and I added some rhinestones at the top which are hard to see from the angle of the picture. The Tree is from Happy Hauntings. The spider and web are from Mini Monsters. 

I thought that it came out rather well, and I sure hope the friend I sent it to likes it. 

Happy Crafting. 

A Haunted Mansion

We are so close to Halloween, one of my favorite holidays. I've always wanted my own little Haunted Mansion! Of course this one is not nearly as cool as the Disney kind, but Hey it will do. I have owned the Happy Hauntings Cricut Cartridge for a while now, and I just couldn't resist making this house with it.

It needs about 20 different cuts, and yes you need to look at the directions! This haunted house took me 2 hours to make, but I think it's well worth it. It made great decor for my office, but this one takes some dedication to put together. 

This house is supper cute, but let me tell you I made a few mistakes along the way! It's not that easy to figure out. I recommend waiting until you assemble the house to put the chimney together, because I did it backwards the first time. But once I got it all assembled I though it needed a few touches, so I covered the roof with Purple Iced Stickles and added some green smoke to to the chimney. 

A Spooktacular decoration if I do say so myself!

Happy Crafting!

Valentine Cards for Kids with Cancer Blog Hop

Hi! Welcome to this very special Valentines hop. If you have arrived here from Doris's blog you are in the right place. If not please start from the beginning at http://decadesofscrap.blogspot.com. Today's hop is all about cards for kids. All of the cards you see in this hop will be sent to Jackson Memorial Holtz Children's Cancer Unit to give to the kids there for Valentines Day. Hopefully we can all put a smile on a child's face.


My project today is simple card I call Puppy Love:

I used patterned paper from  Pinecone Press, and three cricut cartridges. The postage stamp cut in the brown and striped layers is from Base Camp. The puppy and kitty and the "puppy Love" title are from Paper Pups. The banner across the bottom of the card is from Happy Hauntings. And of course I had to add googly eyes, this is for a child after all.

And of course I have a little blog candy for you:

I'm giving away some embellishments. All you have to do is leave a comment and be a follower. Easy!

Halloween Layout

Hi all! Today is layout day at My Cricut Craft room. I just had to create this Halloween Layout because it's my favorite holiday. Please check out Erica's blog to see more great layouts today.

This is a 2 page12x12 layout made with Create a Critter and Happy Hauntings.

The background paper is from Heidi Grace and the purple and greed papers are from Pinecone press. The font  for "Too Cute to Spook" is the Vampire font from Happy Hauntings.

The ghost is from Create a critter and I used a Peachy Keen Face stamp on him. I thought about blushing his cheeks, but hey, he is a ghost.  I also used my Martha Stewart deep edge Halloween punch for the fence on the bottom. (First time using this punch and i LOVE it.)

I also used this cute little cat form Happy Hauntings. If you know anything about me, it's that I'm a cat person. I happen to have a cute, not so little black cat myself.

I hope you liked my project. Happy Crafting!

Sweet Stamping Treats Halloween Challenge

This week on Sweet Stamping Treats there is a Halloween themed or colored card challenge. I love Halloween, so I was all over this one. I used one of their newest stamps, Trick or Treat.

I cute the black frame from the Happy Hauntings Cartridge, and used my Martha Steward edge punch to add the cracks to the green cardstock. The sentiment I printed from my computer. I think it came out so cute.

Happy Crafting!
