Halloween Bouquet

I can't wait to display this one in my house. It was surprisingly easy to make. The Frankenstein planter is actually a project we made in Relief Society last night and I thought this would be a fun way to "jazz it up". It's just a terrocata planter painted green and painted a fun face on it.
 All the cuts are from Paper Doll Dress Up. They are hot glued to wooden dowels that I painted black with glitter on it for some BLING.  Tie some festive ribbon on it and voila!
 This was so fun and easy I think it would be super cute to re invent it for Thanksgiving or Christmas even.
I can't take total credit for this idea, the general idea came from a project posted on the cricut messageboard, however I have been unable to get the website for a link. So whoever came up with this, thanks!

Ambria's Halloween Project

My two year old created this. I think she did a great job, but I might be a little biased. I had some extra cut outs that I wasn't gonna be using so I let her glue them on this paper and make her own Halloween project. She loved it.

Halloween Plaques

Why buy expensive Halloween decorations when you can make them yourself? This was a really fun project and super easy. I painted some wooden blocks and used mod podge to adhere the paper to the wood, then mod podged over the paper to give it a glossy finished look.
