Confessions Of A Scrap Addict...: Halloween Present -Day One

My Stuff

Here is what I've been creating this season...

Everything done here was done with materials I had on hand. It feels great when you can decorate and not have to spend a dime.

This is our kitchen display, just replaced the normal everyday decor for halloween decor in our freecycled frames. I used my Silhouette to cut almost everything.

*The Spider Web is from QK Silhouette.
*I designed the scaredy cat (you can find my freebie to download at the end of this post) and used the font Burton's Nightmare 2000.
*The silhouette I created of my son Dylan.
*The owl in the tree is by HINKELTJE at hinkeltje.com
*The Chandelier is from Cricut's Home Decor Cartridge. Thanks Yoli!
*The Trick or Treat sign is from Cardiology Creations by Tina Mansfield.

Made roses out of tissue paper. To do this, all you do is cut your tissue about 8"x12", fold it in half lengthwise, use pen to roll at folded edge (I did some flowers with open edge and some with folded edge for a mixed look) leaving the opposite side loose, insert pipe cleaner for stem, add bow and display.

Used damask rub ons for candles and boys snake.

Gothic Glamour

Some old vases from freecycle and an old pair of fish net stockings from the costume box make for great mood lighting. You should be able to get at least four from one pair of stockings. Just cut, slide onto vase, add a little hot glue for a light hold if they won't stay up and cut at bottom leaving a little excess, decorate with ribbon or lace or leave as is. Regular pantyhose are great too, vary the look a bit with different pattern stockings. Some stockings will stay up without needing any hot glue depending how supportive they are and how big your glass/jar is.
