Till Death Do Us Part

Today I have a nightlight jar to share with you.  This one can be used for Halloween or it could even be for everyday use.  After all I know a couple of people who love skull themed items.

 

To create my jar I used this wonderful Gothic framed skull silhouette called Till Death Do Us Part.  It's from the Silhouette store and was designed by Jamie Koay.  Best part is if you purchase it before midnight tonight it's half price.  (For personal use)  She has some other great designs that I've purchased and you'll see those in later projects.

 

The verbiage on my jar was created in Silhouette design edition.  I love that I learned how to create curved text.  Doing so made this addition to the jar easy.

 

 

Now I'm off to enter my Halloween light into the following challenges:

Happy Haunting

I'm a bit late with my post for today.  We decided late last night that we were going to hit the gym early today.  I mean like before 6AM early.  Now that our granddaughter is here we've been doing a lot of babysitting while mommy and daddy work and that's meant a decline in gym time.  So like everything else we came up with an alternate plan.  Go in the morning.  It won't be every day that we do it - just those when we need to.

 

And that leads me to posting today's project this evening.  Granddaddy is playing with Ocean (that's our granddaughter's name) so that I can come play with you for a few.  :)

 

So for today's project I have a Halloween card that I'd like to share.  This one was made with the newly released Marshmallow Bear Happy Haunting file from Marjorie Ann Designs.  She has some great Halloween files and this one is no exception.

 

For my stamped sentiment I used the Ghostly Greetings stamp set from Craftin Desert Divas.  The spider is from the August 2014 Peachy Keen Stamps release, set PKSC-32.  On the inside of my card I also used Peachy Keen Stamps and these are all from the Trio of Girl Ghosts.

 

And now I'm off to enter my card into the following challenges:

Mummy Yummy

Happy Monday everyone.  It's Barbara from My Little Spot of Sanity (everyone has to have somewhere to go so they can stay sane, and for me it's my craft room). It's my last day to guest design over at Jaded Blossom Stamps and it has definitely been an honor and a privilege to do so.  So to everyone at Jaded Blossom - thank you for the fun-filled and exciting opportunity you've given me this August.

 

Now for my project today I thought I'd share a little Halloween treat box.  I purchased this  Mummy Candy Bar Box from the Silhouette store last year so that I could use it in conjunction with the Pick Your Poison stamp set but never got around to do so.  And now I have finally done it!

 

 

 

To make my project I had to rework the box a bit since I bought a king size Hershey bar.  After I got everything the size I needed, I used the script embossing folder from Cricut's Cuttlebug line to emboss my little mummy, added my sentiment from Pick Your Poison and viola.  My Hershey bar holder is complete.

 

Thanks for checking in and thanks again for having me as a guest designer this month!

Nightlights

About a week ago I shared some tooth fairy nightlights I made.  Today I've made some more but this time I created a couple of different styles.  Most all of the lights I've made have been girly but today I actually have a couple that are more manly.

 

In case you missed my tooth fairy light post here's the scoop on how these are done.

 

The lights are pre-printed lights I found at Dollar Tree.  To make the lights I gently soaked the plastic cover in acetone for a few seconds and then used a cotton ball to rub away the pre-printed design.  After allowing the cover to dry I applied my vinyl designs. 

 

See, it's THAT easy.

 

All three of my designs were purchased from the Silhouette store.

 

And now I'm off to enter these into the following challenges:
