Trick or Treat Layout

Hey everyone!  It is time for a new challenge over at Bitten by the Bug 2.  With Halloween just a few days away, Jayne has selected a Halloween Theme for this week's challenge.  All you have to do to join the challenge is create a Halloween themed project with a Halloween cut from a Cricut cartridge of your choice.  

I have TONS of Halloween photos to scrap!  I am just so happy with how this layout came out!  I really like it!  I used the Happy Hauntings and Mini Monsters Cricut cartridges for the cuts.  Check out my video below.  If you are having trouble seeing the video, be sure you are trying to view it from my blog or from YouTube, as it won't show up in the email.

"Witch" Way to the Candy? Layout

Hey everyone!  I'm back sharing another Halloween layout.  I'm kind of sad October is almost over because I love creating Halloween layouts!  This one was my favorite to make so far.  I'm entering it in some challenges, and you can check out my video below.  

So my usual scrapbooking process is to create a layout after I have pictures.  However, this layout is designed for Halloween for this year.  That's a big deal for me!  I guess we'll see how it goes, and hopefully I'll have pictures to fit the mats I made.  

My inspiration for this layout is my daughter's Halloween costume this year.  She's going to be a "good" witch with sparkles and purple hair.  So I created a layout with a witch's accessories:)

Cuts are from Mini Monsters and Happy Hauntings and embellished with Stickles and Recollections glitter with the help of my Xyron sticker maker.

Thankful Layout

Hey Everybody!!  I'm so excited because it is my first post as a Design Team Member for Bitten by the Bug 2!  This is such a great blog for Cricut users.  Today starts an all new challenge-Fall Leaves are Falling.  For this week, all you need to do to enter is create a project that incorporates a leaf cut from a Cricut cartridge.  

I decided to create a layout for some Thanksgiving pictures from a few years ago.  I had a lot of pictures to squeeze into this one!   Check out my video too!

Monster Munch Treat Bags

I made these Monster Munch Treat bags for my kiddos' classes.  I have been waiting to use the Mini Monsters cartridge since I got it over the summer.  I've seen different versions of these treat mixes all over Pinterest.  I like making these mixes as opposed to a bag of MORE candy.

 I also couldn't wait to stamp my Monster Mash Face Assortment from Peachy Keen Stamps.

Since I didn't have a stamp that said "Monster Munch," I used my computer to print it.

I made a total of 43 of them!!  

I also made this AWESOME pretzel bark on the Cookies and Cups website.  I put it in little bags for their teachers.  It makes a ton and a little bite goes a long way!  I'm taking the rest to work:)

I'm entering these Monster Munch Treat Bags in the following challenges:
