Dollar store finds made into Halloween Wreath~

I was at the dollar store looking for something all together different than what I bought!!!! I thought I had seen these little sketetons there to put in some coffin boxes I want to make(which I did find there) but they had all this other cool stuff!!! Everything on this door hanging was bought at the Dollar Tree!!!!! I just used my Cricut to make the letters to make the Happy Halloween pop (mickey font and Pooh font) Some stickles on the hands and the spiders and th skeleton was already black glitter but he didn't show very well so i painted some white acrylic paint on him to make him look more rustic!!!! thank goodness for glue guns because this went together rather quickly!!! And the thing of it is.... I have enough stuff left over to make one for someone else to and it cost me under six dollars to make!!!!! Thanks for looking!!! It has been so long so I did something like this!!!!

~first``` No Second ~~ Santa Slacker 6 card

When I looked at this sketch a second time I saw it done as a pedestal card. I really like the snowman from the winter frolic cart and decided to try another. Using solids and matching papers with stickles I cut the sentiment phrase out to pop onthe base of the card!!! I am sure I will be using this sketch on other cards this season because you could use any xmas subject to make this card!!!

Looks funny seeing Christmas in a Halloween themed background for my blog!!!!

What "IMAGINation!!!!

Well I broke down and ordered the Cricut Imagine a couple weeks ago and of course it was on back order. I noticed on my receipt that it wasn't suppose to be here till Oct11. Imagine my surprise when this am a big box was on my front porch with YES my imagine!!! I had been reading as much as I could to see how everyone was doing with their new toy and was a little nervous that I might have problems and not like it!!! I carefully followed the DVD instructions to set her up and away I went!!! This is the card I made with my first print and cuts on my new machine. Nothing special but with all my other toys it turned out ok!!!! OH I love the Rooster in this one!!!! Thanks for taking a peak!!!!

Santa Slackers Sketch 6******

Wow hard to believe this is my 6th Santa slacker card!! On my way to a less stressful Xmas!!!

The challenge is pretty easy this week:

Any Size Card

Use your Circut

Use a SNOWMAN

and use buttons or brads somewhere on the card (Joy added this lol We all know how joy loves buttons!)

Well here is my description and little Recipe for what I did!!!

* Papers are Bazzill and Me and MY Big Ideas "Oh What Fun" Paper Pack

* Snow Flake Embossing Folder

* Winter Frolic Cartridge

* Itsy Bitsy Buttons and some glittery webbing bought at dollar store

* Card Size 5x7 Snow man 3.5, sentiment about 2.5 (i used my gypsy to size to fit across bottom of card)

and made a couple more snowflakes to scatter on card. doodled with my white pen and added a little chalk to cheeks. This card once I got down on paper went together pretty fast and could be easily made in multiples in little time. Thought this would be nice as a Happy Holiday card for those that just want to celebrate the winter season!!! Think I might try a few different snowman from the cart on this sketch ! Maybe more than one card this week. Doesn't this guy remind you a little of the TV Frosy the snowman without his boots?????
