Thanks for coming to day 2 of our Hop!!  Today's post is more die cuts to use for scrapbooking, cards, to decorate treat bags, etc.   Some of my pictures didn't save on my camera like I thought so I only have a couple of pictures. Not my usual pictures that I try to have step by step.  Sorry!!
Today I used the Happy Haunting cricut cartridge ( Have I told you how much I LOVE it?), I used black cardstock, purple cardstock, orange, and green cardstock, red stickles, adhesive and large pop dots (the kind the really pop up a project).

I cut the Headless Horseman, and the pumpkin @ 5".  First I cut the purple layer, then the black for the Horseman.  Then I cut the green layer, then the orange layers for the pumpkin.


Then I layered the black on top of the purple.  I layered the orange pumpkin on the green and added red stickles on the horse for his eye, then on the eyes of the pumpkin.  I then attached the pumpkin to the horseman's hand with a large pop dot.

I know you can't see it very well, but the pumpkin looked great with the red eyes!  I can't wait to use it on a scrapbook page.. I love the story of Ichabod Crane!! Soo Spooky!  Happy Halloween everyone!!

                                                             Now on to your next stop!

Have a great day and please stop back tomorrow for another great project!

Here is my project for today:  Sorry for some of the blurry pics,  I used my camera on my phone.  Next time I'll use my camera...







I was in a die cut swap and Here was the first project I did.  Supplies:  Mini Monsters cartridge, printed paper, black cardstock, google eyes, red stickles and adhesive.   The spider on the mini monster cartridge has a face on it.  I didn't want my cricut to cut out the face so I used a feature on my gypsy to hide the face before cutting the spider.

                                                                       

The spider was cut at 4" with the printed paper first, then with the black cardstock. 
Next I cut the legs off of the printed paper, and stuck the printed oval onto the black spider cut out.
Last I decorated the spiders with googly eyes and a red stickled mouth.  I think they turned out pretty cute! Thanks for stopping by my blog!


 Now on to your next stop!
Have a great day and please stop back tomorrow for another great project!
