Halloween Ideas

I had this cute little cat in my box of Halloween decorations. He is made out of wood and is very cute, but I decided he needed a banner! LOL So I took my dimensional elements banner (these are the small ones that come on one sheet see page 130 of the catalog) and as a bonus, if you have our Cricut cartridge, you got them with it! So pull them out! Then you cut your patterned paper using your Cricut cartridge (or you can hand cut them if you don't have the cartridge yet) and decorate with ribbons, stamps etc.

I stamped the bat on the first E and I put a stamped spider with a licorice opaque for his behind. Then put him on the K. The letters I used are from the Dimensional Elements Monograms. (also on page 130 of the catalog)

I love to add my personal touch to things I already have.

It's Pumpkin Carving Time!

It's time for another photo op at the Froemming's!

Saturday we decided to carve pumpkins. Who said it was only for little ones!

So Cody & Brooke came over for dinner and we brought out the pumpkins. I wanted to do an initial pumpkin...so that is what I worked on, Stacey made an owl pumpkin because for some reason I am crazy about owls right now. Cody made the scary face one and he had a little pumpkin stuck in his mouth! That was very funny, but the picture didn't come out as good. And Brooke made the skeleton one. Hers was the most detailed and time consuming. I really liked them all, but I think hers was my favorite!

Now I need to get these developed and on layouts!! This is a fun time of year where you can get some fun pictures! So take some time to get those great pictures and then make sure you TAKE the time to preserve them! I do have a crop coming up, so get those picture taken, developed and scraped! Watch for these pictures on layouts coming soon!

Scrapbooking Halloween

Have you ever made something just because it was too cute not too? I did this very thing for Halloween.

My baby is now 24, and we are empty nesters (YIPPEE), and don't have anyone at home to eat cupcakes (except me) but I decided to make these adorable monster cupcakes for Halloween! I love decorating cakes, but cupcakes give you quicker gratification! LOL

So here are my little monster friends. I can't wait to get the pictures developed and scrapbooked! And of course, they match our Hooligans kit perfectly! I bet you think that was by accident don't you! We even have stamps to match!

I have also put a picture of our old neighbors that flew back to Omaha just to spend Halloween on our driveway with us! I can't wait to get those pictures developed too! Watch for them soon as I scrapbook them!

And there is also a picture of Cody and Brooke. They chose to stick their tongues out...so that is the picture I am putting on my blog! Teach them to stick their tongues out! LOL

Enjoy scrapbooking your Halloween pictures!
