Fun What Your Halloween Candy Says About You

I found this graphic last year, unfortunately it was after Halloween... So, when I was pondering what to post I remembered I had this in my "stash" of Halloween ideas... I was concerned, because I couldn't remember exactly where I found it, luckily my good friend google found it for me.... here is the link: http://www.nickmom.com/more-lols/what-your-trick-or-treat-giveaways-say-about-you/

Happy Halloween!

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Free Printable and Quilled Hat and Broom

Are you enjoying this walk down memory lane and this fun printable? This is definitely one that you print with a tongue in cheek chuckle.  This year, I placed this near the front door so that you see it when you enter our home. It causes quite a few chuckles and comments, so it is definitely doing what I intended.

For the quilled pieces, I have the instructions for quilling those too, just click on the pictures to be taken to the instructions.

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Free Quilled Ghost Pattern #tbt

Halloween is approaching, and this
Throwback Quilled Ghost is just what you need, lol

I wanted to fill this week with as many fun, last minute Halloween projects I could find.

This ghost can be as small or as big as you want him to be. The key is in how many quilling strips you use. Since I needed him to fit on this card, I only needed one strip, but you can use 2 or 3 or even more if you have a larger space to fill.

Free Quilled Ghost Pattern

•  Take 1 strip of White quilling paper, create a loose coil (click here if you don't remember how to make a loose coil)
• Place a dab of glue on the end, and pinch the paper where the glue was applied
• This will make your coil look like a teardrop, but we want a ghost shape, so let's keep pinching, lol
• Take your quilled shape and pinch the paper on either side and you will know have the ghost shape.  Tip: To make the bottom more uniform, I will squeeze the bottom together to make sure that that zig zag on the bottom has crisp folds.
• For the eyes and mouth, I took a 1/16 inch punch and punched out his eyes and mouth, hmmmm, that doesn't sound very nice does it. I promise, this was created in only the most non-violent way... lol

 I hope you are enjoying your week and have a wonderful day!

Motivation Monday Try Approving of Yourself

Happy Motivation Monday!

 

The quote today is:  "You've been criticizing yourself for years and it hasn't worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens." - by Louise Hay

For me this quote is saying, give yourself a break.  So today, I am telling you that you are special! Give yourself a break and find everything that is good about YOU!!!! I know there are a million things that you do that should be applauded. Know that you are appreciated!

Motivation Monday Everybody Is A Genius Einstein Quote

Motivation Monday... I hope you are enjoying them as much as I am...

Here is a great quote by Albert Einstein:

Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.

I think this is a great reminder to me as a parent that I need to remember to find what each child is good at and help them to see it so that they can bloom and prosper.  This is a perfect quote for inspiring your child as well.

I would love to know if this quote inspires you in some way!

Throwback Thursday - Breast Cancer Courage ATC #tbt

Since it is October, I thought it would be appropriate to share my "Courage" ATC that I created for my friend who is a breast cancer survivor. I made this in 2010 and am happy to report that she is still cancer free today!

Courage ATC - honoring a breast cancer survivor

Artist Trading Card (ATC) freely given, never sold... I haven't made any ATCs recently, and now I think I may want to try my hand at a few, how about you?

Here is a closeup of the quilling on this one, I love the look that the paper glaze gave it.  I think this was one of the first times I used paper glaze and have been a fan ever since!

Orange and Pink Quilled Mandala

Motivation Monday Happy Birthday

I'm not certain this is really a "Motivation Monday" moment, but I wanted to share with you a fun Birthday Card I made.

What makes this card so much fun (for me) is that it has a "Halloweenie" flair, lol. I added a bat, black cat, and mummy stickers to the birthday background I made.  Don't you love to include seasonal elements to your cards?

I created the design elements with some shading so that they look like they are popping off the card, I like the way it turned out. I love elements like this because I get to play with the many different fonts I have downloaded. I mean, can you ever really have enough?
