Little Scraps of Heaven Designs DT Halloween Blog Hop

Happy Halloween!!!

This year for Halloween we, the Little Scraps of Heaven Designs DT, decided to get together and have a Halloween Blog Hop.

We've been preparing for halloween for days here (weeks if you count decorating) and have been having a fun time doing it!

I've made pumpkin and halloween banners to hang in my home, halloween cards, cheesecloth ghosts and even some fun Halloween treats for the kiddos.

If you have been following the hop and have come from Dana's blog then you are in the right place. If you have just happened upon my blog please join us and head to Tricia's Blog to start hopping with us.

For the blog hop, I've decided to work with the "Ghouls Night Out" pattern collection as well as a few elements from the "Haunted Graveyard" pattern collection.

I've been dying to work with it and this seemed like the perfect excuse!

Here is the two page layout that I created:

 Here is a close up of the left page:

and the right page:

Aren't these gals just the coolest?  I'm really trying to figure out how I can incorporate them .. you know .. mix them up in other ways ... for future projects ..

The spooky tree and cat

It's FA-BOO-LOUS Halloween week!

Hi there!

Thanks for joining me for FA-BOO-LOUS week with a Happy Life, Crafty Wife!
I'm so excited to be joining Tamara with this week.  I'm really getting into the Halloween mode... and what does Halloween need .. nope, what does Halloween REQUIRE?  Decorations of course!

I'm in the process of pulling out the old, as well as making some new decorations to fill my new home.

For FA-BOO-LOUS week I've decided to make some fun decorations to hang on my pantry door.  It really spruces up the kitchen and gets the kids in the mood for Halloween.

Here are some close ups of each of the individual elements:

To create this project I used the following items:

1. Trendy Twine in Orange Licorice and Lime Licorice

2. Paper piecing Patterns by Little Scraps of Heaven Designs

(Halloween 3D accents)

3. Textured cardstock from American Crafts

4. Clearsnap Colorbox Chalk inks

5. Misc buttons and ribbons,

Please stop by Tamaras blog over at Happy Life, Crafy wife and check out all the FA-BOO-LOUS projects she has going on this week!

I've created a cute Halloween centerpiece.

The full view

A close up of my Mummy pumpkin.  Simply wrap a pumpkin with gauze and I used the eyes from the Mummy in "Ghoulishly Cute".

Here is the Frankenstein from the "Ghoulishly cute" pattern set

And the mummy (my favorite) from the same set.

I had a lot of fun making this and can't wait to see my little boy's reactions in the morning. I am sure this will be a hit!  I can only hope that I've inspired you to do something fun for Halloween!

Batty for Candy

Happy Sunday everyone.
I've been meaning to share a recent layout with all of you.  I've tried a new companies paper piecing patterns, and would love to hear what you think about how I chose to work with them.  The bat paper piecing's come from Designs on Cloud 9.  There are definitely a ton of cute patterns over here .. and at the very least head over to grab the free files.  They are published once a week, and I must say they are FANTASTIC!

Here is my layout:

All patterned paper is by Die Cuts with a view, and solid cardstock is by American crafts.

Thanks for stopping by today.

If you have any interest in purchasing this layout it is available HERE.

Thanks for looking!
