Halloween Tree

So if you vibist me every Friday, you might be wondering where my weekly post for Case-ing the Catty is- well we are going to every other week until the holidays so we will all be back next week with a new project from the holiday mini.

I so want to show off my Halloween tree today.

Is it not the cutest thing??? I am so in love.

I was so not sure what to do with it this year. I wanted something different and I had thrown some leaves up on it but I didn't really like it so I started again,

I think my centerpiece is the witches hat topper. I created it using my Cricut. I cut out a large circle and some retired SU DSP that I had on hand. I made the cone and than cut out a ton of rosettes from the Cricut and the bats. I attached it to the tree with some clothes pins (that is what is hiding behind the bats).

Here is the tree at the other angle. The birds were from my stash, I cut out more bats than attached to clothespins and than I had in my stash the glitter rats that I stuck on (might be hard to see).

The white lights make it look eerie!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Halloween!

Becky 12:00 AM 0 Comments

I have been so involved with my challenge blogs lately plus with school starting, trips etc, I haven't posted anything else but today starts one of my favorite times of the year- HALLOWEEN.

I love this time because the air has a slight and I mean slight crisp to it prior to 10 am here in Houston and it is getting darker earlier. I just love fall.

I have already of course- does it surprise you that I have the inside of the house decorated already Outside usually comes about two weeks before hand.

Today I am showcasing my Happy Halloween banner that I created one rainy Sunday afternoon. I used my Cricut of course(I LOVE THAT MACHINE).

I had found some cute Halloween paper in the oranges and blacks.

It looks so awesome on my wall and I just love it!

Thanks for stopping by!

T-shirts get your T-shirts

Becky 12:00 AM 0 Comments

I got more iron on vinyl for my supply- I might have a t-shirt problem and it didn't help they were on sale as well.

I bought a bunch and you will see more as the seasons go on. Today I did one for my hubby which is a big orange bug to match his VW that he owns. I made me a softball Mom shirt which I have yet to wear because games keep getting rained out. Hopefully soon!

Thanks for stopping by!

CASE-ing the Catty # 11

Becky 12:00 AM 4 Comments

This week over at CASE-ing the Catty is all about TAGS and of course our The Holiday Catalog.

I decided to go the Halloween route because I LOVE Halloween.

This week I was inspired by thte pictures on page 44 of the Holiday Catalog that includes the Motley Monsters Suite. These monsters are all over my stuff this year.

I made a candy jar inspired by the three adorable containers on page 44.

I was having so much fun that I had these photo holders that I also decorated with the paper and cut out the large BOO.

My Cricut Craft Room- Smarty

Becky 12:00 AM 2 Comments

Well today is the "Smarty" theme for MCCR.

So what does Smarty mean to you- for me it was well Going Back to School.

The kids started about a month ago so the Friday before we had a Back to School Pool Party with some friends.

We had pizza, snacks, and of course cupcakes. It was a last hooray for the kids before being back in a routine for school as well as a last hooray for us Moms.

I used the following carts for the party:

Birthday Bash

Recess

Here is the whole layout

Fun favor boxes for the kids. I out dollar store finds in there for them.

My banner that I made using the cricut. I decided to use picture holders to hold them up.

Cupcake inserts

Closer look at the ABC banner

Homemade chalk slate- used a piece of chalkboard paper and stuck it in a unfinished frame.

Love this fun subway art that I found on Pinterest courtesy of Mom Always Finds Out which I stuck in a glitter frame I had on hand.

I also used stuff from my stash like the Alphabet stamps I have on hand.

I really like how it turned out and the kids all went home with smart goodies!

MCCR Blog Hop - All Autumn Ideas

Becky 12:00 AM 2 Comments

Welcome to My Cricut Craft Room's All Autumn Ideas Blog Hop....

You will find many WONDERFUL Autumn ideas along this hop today... Enjoy!

If you came from My Cricut Craft Room you are in the right place...

If not please visit http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com to start the hop.

Today I made negative fall art!

I saw this awesome art at the craft store and thought I could make that with the Cricut.

I took a 12x12 piece of Stampin Up retired Designer Paper and cut out the owl using the Wall Decor and More Cartridge. I matted it with contrasting paper so the cut out pops for you.

Here is a closer look at the owl.

I also took the cut out image and glued that on to cream paper and framed that in a shadow box as well. So here I am with two pieces of art from 1 piece of paper and it was so easy to do. I love this idea to change shapes and colors for the seasons. This is a perfect autumn colored project.

CASE-ing the Catty Week #10

Becky 12:00 AM 3 Comments

This week is all about the Artistic Expression found on page 154 of the SU catalog.

There are so many great things in this section that well I did a hybrid of sorts for my CASE. I also used some past Paper Pumpkin pieces as well (make sure to check out Paper Pumpkin).

I just love those little notebooks and well have used them for a few projects including a pinterst one for a group.

I also love the camera stamp called snapshot.
