Happy Halloween!

We love Halloween!  There's nothing better than picking out or making costumes with your kids and then seeing the joy they get from showing them off!  So fun!

This year we decided to celebrate our middle son's birthday with a trip to see Hotel Transylvania with a couple of his friends.  It was a really fun afternoon and the kids loved the movie!  If you haven't seen it yet, you chould check it out!  Instead of traditional goody bags, I decided to create spooky coffins for the treats in our Frankenstein pinata.  I used the new Artiste Cricut Cartridge form Close to My Heart for the coffin boxes, spider webs, spiders, and skeletons hiding inside.  I love how quick and easy it was to make something special for my son and his friends! 
Materials Used (CTMH unless mentioned):
Paper:  Whisper CS, Slate CS, Black CS, White CS
Ink:  Slate

Ladybug Invitations

My niece is turning two at the end of the month, and I just finished her birthday invitations.  They have decided on a ladybug theme so I was up to my elbows in red, white, and black!  After a trip to the local scrapbook store for supplies I was able to get creating.  I am so pleased with the results and can't wait to get to work on the birthday banner to coordinate.  I will post that when it is done!

I just love the little ladybugs I cut with the Doodlecharms Cricut Cartridge!
