COUNT DOWN TREE + Banner/Mini

Just wanted to share with you Home Décor Count Down Tree + Mini Kit now available at Scrapadabadoo.

I wanted to share with you what else you can turn the tree into:

Yes, it is a home décor piece for Halloween!  It also, comes with a hidden surprise:

I have a tea light in the back so, it lights up and the best part is that it all can come apart for easy storage.

 

This is only the sample of what the tree looks like and we will be using MME Sleigh Bells Ring.  It has the light bulb brads to add bottle cap ornaments 1-24 to count down the month.  Inside the tree stores the banner and under the tree will be the mini album.  On Ustream this week we will start the banner that fits inside the tree:

Here you see it all done and then you can use things from your stash to add more embellishments and dimension, as I have done here:

I added from my stash these cute little burlap birds.  You can see how you can add different things to the end of the banner:

I hope you can join me on Wed. the 29th at 8:00  pm EST as we start the Count Down to Christmas.  Can you believe there is only NINE MORE FRIDAYS TIL CHRISTMAS!

Arsenic & Lace Halloween Cards~by Zandra

Today, I bring you my Halloween Cards using my scraps from Echo Park’s collection Arsenic & Lace:

This is my first card, as I created this from the front sheet of the collection pack and is super easy and made for someone who you know will not keep the card…lol  I also, used twine, scotch quick dry which I keep in the fine line bottleshttp://www.scrapadabadoo.com/item_7146/Fine-Line-18-Gauge-Glue-Bottle.htm, black stickles and for the top of the pumpkin the wood grain paper.

I added a little more layers to this card:  I used the EK Success Zig Zag Chain punch, which I used intertwining the bottom border and the negative pieces for around the 3 x 4 Happy Halloween.  Black Diamond and Crystal stickles,  Prima 3 Scallop Doily Die, glossy accents and SS Frankie Enamel Dots.

Now this card is for someone you know is going to keep it…lol   I created this card with lots of texture and layers: 

First, I used some textured paste, on the acetate sheet I inked with white staz on, used gel medium and then crackle accents on top of that which takes overnight to dry.  Also, flowers, seam binding and Prima sprays. 

So, these were made from my scraps and I think they turned out so cute!  It is always hard for me to throw out any of my scraps.  It is always so fun to see what you can create from your scraps.
