Pumpkins!

This month Allison and her boyfriend Trent got their craft on with pumpkin carving.  Sorry your Cardinals didn't make it to the World Series Allison!

Halloween paper weaving

Wish I could say I cut this with my Silhouette or by hand but it was a kit. It was fun anyway and new decorations are always good!

Birthday Card

This month Valerie made a stamped card for a friend's birthday.  She used markers to color the stamp and then placed them on the card.

Halloween Bookmarks

 This month I made some Halloween bookmarks from a digital scrapbooking kit by Irene Alexeeva.

Glow-In-The-Dark Halloween Shirts

 
 Of course, I had tons of Halloween crafts planned, but sadly, this is the only one that got done.  I made the boys glow-in-the-dark shirts for Halloween.  They LOVE them!  For these, I downloaded shapes from the Silhouette Library and cut them out using glow-in-the-dark HTV and regular HTV (orange and red).  I used my heat press to set.  I can't wait to find more uses for glow-in-the-dark HTV.  It was the best to weed and the most fun to play with!

Creepy Crafty Halloween

Coffee Coffee Coffee!!!

After seeing a Starbucks costume for little kids on pinterest last year I decided that I wanted to be a cup of Caribou Coffee this year!  Luckily I had the help of some awesome people to pull this together for me.  Vicki (my mom) made a pattern and then sewed the wonderful white dress and Gail used her silhouette to cut out (GLOW IN THE DARK!) and make the very professional looking belt which really helped pull this all together so people knew what I was!  And Thanks to Erin as well for the use of the heat press!!  Then to finish it off I wrote all over it with 'things that I stay awake for' as per the Caribou theme.  Overall it turned out great and was a hit!  Thanks Ladies!!

Chick Magnet!

 So the night before we still hadn't settled on a costume for my husband so browsing thru target we decided some arts and crafts were in order... we made the magnet out of tagboard and then used silver duct tape and construction paper to finish it off... for the final touches we ziptied chicks to the magnet and used tent pole string to tie it together... very manly crafting.

And of course there was some pumpkin carving - Mine was a minion from Despicable Me - Thanks Pinterest!!!

Upcycled Christmas Cards

This month Kelly went through old Christmas cards and recycled them to make a new batch of Christmas cards.  She cut out a portion of the card to fit onto folded card stock and used a glue stick to paste it on.   She then used the card scraps to make gift tags.
