A spooky project

Miss Meghan, my six year old, didn't have school today. We decided to decorate the mantel for Halloween. 

First I cut out 8 pumpkins from Create a Critter after removing the faces using the contour option on Design Space. I drew the faces on 4 of them and Meghan drew the faces on the other 4. 

Then I asked Meghan what kind of things were spooky for Halloween. So I cut out a couple ghosts from Simply Charmed and spiders from Mini Monsters. I removed the faces from the leaves on Create a Critter so I could cut them out in one layer. To ad some dimension to the leaves I added some Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress Ink. 

Strung up with some black and white baker's twine.

I folded the leaves to make the creases like the veins in real leaves. 

Most of the cool 3d items are from the Happy Hauntings cartridge. I didn't like the faces on the original pumpkins, so I removed them and added faces from other pumpkins in Design Space. The ghost shown here is from Create a Critter 2.

Bat from Create a Critter 2. 

We're pretty happy with the end result. 

Meghan thinks it's kinda spooky.
