Homemade Pac-Man Halloween Costumes

I got the idea to be a Pac-Man  family for Halloween about a month before the holiday.

Travis snapping secret pictures of me painting. We just used regular old acrylic paint to paint over the cardboard that Trav brought home from work.

Travis did all the measuring and plotting of the pieces after looking online at dimensions of  the characters. He basically decided what one "pixel" equaled and then went from there. We used an x-acto blade to cut all of the pieces out.

Ready for their eyes which I traced from one pattern and then cut out and painted. That meant I had to do less measuring.

I hot glued the eyes to the fronts of the ghosts.

I punched holes at the tops of each character with my crop-a-dile (hole punch) and then strung some 8mm stretch jewelry cording through the holes and tied a bunch of knots to hold it in place. 

Other than a few people thinking we were puzzle pieces the costumes were a hit. 

Have a great day!!!!

Halloween Black Burlap Wreath Tutorial: We R Memory Keepers

I was so excited to be a guest designer for We R Memory Keepers. The papers and stickers are all from their Bewitched product line.

This cute little witchy was just popped up on the predesigned background paper.

How about a fun Halloween challenge in the form of a Rubix cube garbed in some great papers.

For this card I used the chevron paper paired with my Sweet Stamp Shop Triangle Style set and a cardstock sticker, Studio Calico wood veneer letters and May Arts trim.

Many of the flowers on my wreath were cut with my Silhouette machine and then rolled into shape. I attached many of them with stick pins first to figure out placement and then added hot glue to affix.

 

This bow is one of the the cutest details. I love this Silhouette cut. I see many more paper bows in my future ;).

So there you have it. Halloween ready and I still have a bunch of paper to play with!!
Have a crafty day!

Boo Halloween Mini Album with Embossed Tags

Welcome to Day 6 of the 7 Days of Halloween Blog Event brought to you by "The Inspiration Crew". 

Here's the project I created for today's inspiration.

Just a simple accordion style album that can be tied shut. I added pockets to the back so that tags could be changed out with pictures.

I embellished this panel with the DIY Enamel Dots that I make with
 plastic floral beads and nail polish. They're so easy.

The nice thing is that this mini book can be displayed as a piece of decor through the holidays.

A punched and inked leaf for some fall flair.

Cute Halloween Booglie Eyes Card with Dracula, Mummy and Frankenstein

Welcome to Day 5 of the 7 Days of Halloween Blog Event brought to you by "The Inspiration Crew". 

Here's the card I whipped up for today's inspiration. 

Super simple one layer card with some May Art's ribbon to finish it off. I masked off the square frames with punched post it paper and then inked in with Tim Holtz Distress Inks. These are some more adorable images from Stampin' Up's Booglie Eyes set. I checked, it's going for a pretty penny on ebay right now ;). I water colored the images and called it good. I just love cutsie Halloween characters!

 Now go hop on over to the other ladies' blogs and see what they've got cooked up for inspiration today.

I found this chipboard ghost on clearance at my LSS and snatched them up. Then I sat down with my kiddos and started decorating. I will hang these ghosties from our peg shelf in the living room. I love decorating for Halloween with cutesy things. Each Halloween ghost has it's own personality...just like my kiddos. I did have to help cut out the eyes and mouth with an exacto. 

Now onto more inspiration!!!

I created this door hanger using my Silhouette. I punched circles and ovals, embossed them with my Cuttlebug and then inked them up. I layered them on top of eachother and then added folded daisies to the tops of the pumpkins for greenery. A little floral wire did the trick when creating pumpkin vines. I hope you have a super crafty day.

Sentimental Birds go Spooky

Hey there everybody! Fall is in the air, Halloween is just around the corner. 

What are you working on?

I'm over at the

SWEET STAMP SHOP 

today. Head on over to see the full project!

Little Mummy Boy

Such a cute little Halloween character from Sweet Stamp Shop.

Boo! Let the sugar rush begin!

Unfortunately, it was a bit late when I got outside to take pictures and the sun was really low but at least I got something.

Isn't he the cutest dinosaur you ever did see?

Now give me some chocolate or I'll stomp on your house.

Oh and my sweet 50's girl. At first she insisted she have pig tails but after seeing herself in with the pony she relented and swung it around a few times.

She has now told me that wearing socks with your skirt is "much nicer than tights" :)

My blurry little G.I. Joe guy. He has wanted to be this character since last year.


And the final child: Lego Batman Minifigure Dude

I think his hnds came out so cool. It was very difficult for him to see with this costume on...he couldn't see anywhere but straight ahead but he loved it and so did everyone who saw him. He had black pants on the first time he wore it but the were in the wash. Oh well.
Hope you all had a happy and safe Halloween. Now to start planning next years costumes.

Oh, I was Rosie the Riveter but this is the only picture I have because my Powershot decided to die Saturday night. The sensor went bad or something.

 This is the best pic of the family. I'm sad about my little baby camera. :(
