Black Cat Pumpkin

Hi Everyone!  Today I have a fun project that I made just because I felt like it!  Recently I saw that Michael's Stores had a #TrickYourPumpkin Sweepstakes going on.  They want you to decorate one of their craft pumpkins and post it to IG.  So, in the spirit of the holiday, I created this...

I started with one of their craft pumpkins that was already painted in Chalkboard paint.  After cutting his cute face, I used some Doodlebug Design papers to make the Ears, Tail and bow tie.  The whiskers are made from the new Chunky Twine from Doodlebug.  I dipped them in some fabric stiffener to make them stick out.  I've named this pumpkin my "Jax-o-Lantern," after my sweet new kitty Jax... and because I'm a bit crazy.

 



 

That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Paper Issues: October Off the Page Challenge...Halloween!

Hi Everyone!  Today I'm on the Paper Issues Blog with October's Off the Page Challenge.  Of course it had to be something Halloween related!  Take a peek...

 

 

 I made a fun Halloween themed subway art frame and a pumpkin to decorate for the season!  I used this file from the Silhouette Store and some Doodlebug Design October 31st for the Subway Art.  I also embellished the frame with some strips of the new Skinny Washi and buttons, also from Doodlebug.  The Pumpkin was created using a Lori Whitlock cut file in the Silhouette Store (here) and orange Doodlebug papers from a few different collections.  Now for you... make something Halloween-themed... it can be home décor, costume related, goodies for the kiddos at school, pumpkin themed, candy boxes, Halloween Party favors...We'd love to see it all!  Add it to the October Challenges Album on the Paper Issues Friends & Fans Facebook page under this picture to be entered to win!  Need some Halloween goodies to work with??  Check out the Paper Issues Store here... there are tons of fun items!  Use Code KATHYS and you can get 20% off your whole order!
