Kimberli's Creations Halloween Hop!

Good morning and welcome to our Halloween blog hop! We have several talented ladies who will be sharing fun Halloween projects with you today, to hopefully inspire you to create some Halloween crafts of your own! If you just happened upon my blog, please go to the very talented Kimberli's blog at http://www.kimberliscreations.blogspot.com/  to start from the beginning, so you don't miss anything! There will be some fun giveaways along the way, so be sure to hop by each of the blogs so you don't miss any!

For my project I decided to create a little Halloween decor. Some of you are well aware of my recent addiction to making rosettes, (yes, I spelled it right this time..lol), and as you will see I'm still suffering this addiction.

How cute are those rosette eyes??

What a cutie!



To sum this up I used an 8 x 10 thin canvass and glued the design paper on. I then made the rosettes, using my new MS scoring board, and using hot glue attached the google eyes. The Owl was cut from the shadow feature of the Sentimentals cartridge, along with the beak and feet. The hat and bowtie was cut from the Create a Critter cartridge. The "Trick or Treat" letters were cut from Storybook, and the "Or" was cut from Wild Card and tied with twine around the branch. (I just want to add, I don't have a Gypsy and have no clue how to use my Design Studio, so all these cuts were done the old fashion way. I really need to get with the program here....). Lastly, I had picked up this frame for free at a garage sale this summer. It was in sad shape with no glass but after cleaning it up it worked perfect for this project! To add a little flair I decided to hot glue a few black sparkly branches on the bottom to give a little 3D ish effect. Oh, and I also added a little silver ribbon along with a feather and gem stone to the hat to up the cute factor! I'm going to enter this project over at http://lessology.blogspot.com/. The challenge this week is to create wall art so I think this fits the criteria.

Now, since it is a Halloween hop there must be candy, right? Right. I'm sorry about eating the Reeses Peanut Butter Cups and Snickers but I do have something that's Peachy Keen! Yes, I have a set of Peachy Keen stamps up for grabs!

To win this set of stamps you have to be a follower of my blog, leave a comment telling me your favorite Halloween candy- you know, the one candy you always sneak out of a childs supply, (don't tell me you never have), and check back on Sunday night, Oct. 30th, to see if you won. You will have one week to claim the candy otherwise another Trick or Treater will be picked. As always, the fabulous Ms. Kiki (my doggie) will chose the winner!
