Mini Monsters Treat Bags

 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

 

Yesterday my youngest daughter's Kindergarten class celebrated Halloween at school. They were allowed to dress up, they made lots of crafts and I made these cute little Mini Monster Treat Bags for all of them (18 all together).

 

These were a lot of fun to make.

 

 

 

I used these items to make my Mini Monsters Treat Bags:

• Mini Monsters Cricut cartridge
• Variety of colored, striped and polka dot card stock
• Google eyes
• Stamp - sentiment

I am entering my Mini Monsters Treat Bags in the following challenges:

• DL ART - Thankful Thursday - October Linky
• Die Cuttin Divas - Challenge #239 - Happy Halloween
• Decorate to Celebrate - Challenge #112 -Anything Goes

 

Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out my Mini Monsters Treat Bags.

 

Have a Happy Halloween!!!

Today's Halloween activity for Day 29 is

Watch "Trick 'r Treat"

I was introduced to this movie a couple years ago and have become obsessed with it. I loved every second of this movie. If you have not seen this movie, now is the time. Check it out HERE on IMDb. One of the characters in the film is Sam. Sam makes sure that everyone follows the rules for Halloween: wear a costume, don't blow out your jack-o-lantern before midnight, and always check your candy. If you don't follow these rules you will pay...with your life!

The love I have for this movie has spread to the rest of my family and after my oldest saw the cut version of it on TV she too fell in love with it. She requested to be Sam for Halloween a couple years back so my husband and I made her a Sam costume and I think it turned out pretty dang good.

She loved it and we loved it.
We now use Sam as part of our Halloween decorations

The Halloween activities for
Day 23 - 26 
are

Day 23
Watch "The Monster Squad"

This is a movie from my childhood that I absolutely loved and introduced it to my daughters last year. My youngest loved it but my oldest really didn't seem interested in it...oh well, to each her own.

Day 24
Have a Halloween Party

Now this activity is obviously something that would have to be planned for whatever day that is convenient for your family so this day might be on a different day.

Day 25
Wear Orange

Day 26
Watch
"The Nightmare Before Christmas"

Need I say anything about this movie. It is a definite for Halloween and Christmas. Jack Skellington is one of the best Halloween characters ever created.

So sorry I missed so many days but family comes first. I will try to finish out the countdown without any more hiccups...hopefully. Thank you for your patience.

FAMILY EMERGENCY

I am sorry to have not been able to post my Countdown to Halloween 2015 for the last couple of days, I have been dealing with a family emergency. I will be posting a bulk post of the days that I have missed as soon as possible. For now, stay tuned...

Boo Your Neighbor

So today is the day you get to go out and spread that Halloween cheer to your neighborhood. A couple days ago you should have made your "You've Been Boo'ed" treat holder and now you get to use them. It is real simple, hang the treat with the instructions on the door knob of your neighbor, ring the door bell and run. Hopefully they will follow the instructions and continue to spread the Halloween cheer throughout your neighborhood.

Watch "Monster House"

This movie may be a little too scary for the younger children in your house, unless they are my like my daughter who has been growing up on The Walking Dead since before she was 1 year old. You just really need to know what your child can tolerate. I myself grew up watching the 80's serial killer movies like Friday the 13th and Halloween...neither of which ever scared me. So just do what's best for your family.

Fantbulous Cricut Challenge #262 - Autumn/Fall

 Happy Monday and welcome to another Monday challenge!

Challenge #262-Autumn/Fall 

This Weeks Sponsor

Pretty Cute Stamps

Make a fall inspired project

To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used. If you use a Cricut Explore machine, at least one cut must be from the Cricut catalog of images.

And, if you submit a project in our challenge that isn't a card, you will get two entries for a chance to win the prize instead of one! 

Here is what I made for this challenge:

 

I choose to make a Thinking of You Fall Treat Box.

 

I made this for my neighbor. I have been thinking of her recently because I know that she has been dealing with some serious health issues. So I found this cute little treat box on the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2 Cricut cartridge. I decorated it with some pretty fall leaves made from an oldie but goodie leaf dies cut with my Cuttlebug. I also made a tag in the same fashion...I just added a sentiment, an eyelet and some jute to wrap it around the top of the box. Lastly, I added some candy corns and pumpkins to the inside of the box.

 

 

 

I used these items to create my Thinking of You Fall Treat Box:

• Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2 Cricut cartridge
• Cuttlebug
• Leaf dies
• Thinking of You stamp
• Brown ink
• jute
• eyelet 

I am entering my Thinking of You Fall Treat Box in the following challenges:

• (Pin)spirational Challenge #150 - See Below

There is nothing stopping you though to get out there to those pumpkin patches and make those wonderful family memories.
