More cheap & creepy decor!

What's a girl to do when she's stuck at home on a friday night with two little boys and nowhere to go? Make the house creepier! Tomorrow is October 1st! I couldn't resist pulling out my cheap halloween decor that I bought from the Dollar Tree back in August. LOL. yes August.

In my town, if you don't grab it now, it won't be there later. Esp at the DT!

These creepy spiders were 2/$1.00 at the dt. I attached them using scrapbooking pop dots.

Then I decided to go gather some broken branches from the woods and spray paint them black. I then spray painted an old coffee can black and added some sand in the bottom. Then I stuck my painted branches in it and added some rocks to keep it all in place. Then I spray painted the rocks on top black as well.

When I got it inside, I added 3 of these crows. I got them for $1.00 each at DT. I think Michael's has them too, but probably not for a dollar. I also had some spanish moss laying around and added it too!

My kids love it!!

Cheap & Easy Halloween Decor + SVG Freebies!

Things are getting creepy around here! I decided it was close enough to Halloween to start decorating! I love halloween and up until now, we've always lived in a tiny apartment or trailer. Not this year! We now own a 5 bedroom house! So I have plenty of room to decorate! Just wait for Christmas! LOL.

I got out some black vinyl and cut these creepy spiders in all sorts of sizes. Check out all the places they are creeping around!

I had seen this idea here. If you don't own a cricut (which really speeds up the process). She has a template on her blog for cutting them out. As soon as I put the first one up, my son says "ohhh Awesome mom!". Those words made it all worth while. Makes me feel like by doing little things like this I'm building memories for my children. Hopefully they look back and remember how cool mom decorated the house on halloween and really brought the season to life!

If you do own a cricut and have SCAL, you can use the files below to create your own creepy fun!

Final Week of Digi Freebie Search + Freebie Thursday!

It's the final week of the digi freebie search with the Lindsay's Stamp Stuff DT. As always, Lindsay has designed a special stamp for one of us on the design team. On Thursdays, one lucky DT member will have her special stamp available to download free for a whole week. I'm sad to see it ending, we (the DT) have had so much fun doing this and sharing it all with you. Thank you so much for participating!

This week I did a LO of my son hunting easter eggs this year. I know Easter was a while back, I'm a little behind on my scrapping. haha. I used Lindsay's Swallowtail butterfly stamp, and a couple of her rabbit stamps. Once again, they are only $1.00 in her store!

The sketch I used was from Crafts by Rowena.



For this week's freebie, I have a Frankenstein mask for those of you who have children, grandchildren or teach school. This would be really fun for them to play with. I hope it comes in handy for you. If so, please take a picture of your child wearing it, I'd love to see it!

I guess I'm on a Halloween kick, because I also found these two creepy images for ya! I think that spider will look great with the web frame from yesterday!
