A Boo-tiful Color Throwdown Card

A Boo-tiful Color Throwdown Card

swatch414I’m playing along with the Color Throwdown card challenge again this week and decided to continue the Halloween groove I’ve been in lately with a cute little monster card. I used several shades of gray and added in the aqua and lime green for a nice color combination. The papers are from several different sources, as are the stamps; and as usual, I inked all the edges before adhering.

I trimmed the front of the card short for an added bit of interest and added a dark gray sheet on the inside of the card. I also added some lime green sparkles for the monster’s eyes and lime green twine around the middle for some extra interest.

I think this Halloween greeting is just silly enough to send to a child but it’s still cool enough for adults to enjoy also.

Fill a Milk Jar for Pop of Kitchen Color

Fill a Milk Jar for Pop of Kitchen Color

I love this milk jar turned Halloween treat, because it doubles as festive decoration and jar of yumminess perfect for your kitchen all month long. I swear I can’t keep my son’s hands out of it. Even if you don’t normally decorate your food prep place for this spooky holiday, it’s nice to add a pop of color to the room.

I originally purchased this particular milk jar filled with red, white and blue gumballs just in time for the Fourth of July, so I can’t really take creative ownership of this snappy idea. Soon after summer vanished, I soaked off the manufacturer labels and decided I could fill the empty container with whatever festiveness was coming my way.

Your local party supply store most likely stocks gumballs in every color, so picking something for your holiday of choice should be easy. If you don’t like gum, you can also fill it with those candy-coated colored chocolate balls or anything else holiday related. By the way, if you plan to use gumballs I suggest a jar with an airtight lid, because those little suckers can get hard as a rock when left out in the open (your dental insurance will thank me).

Saturday Sparks — Halloween Wreaths

Saturday Sparks — Halloween Wreaths

I have almost made a Halloween wreath for my front door for years now but haven’t been able to wrap my mind and creative impulses around exactly what to design. So. . . naturally I perused Pinterest for some not-so-spooky inspiration and found oodles of fun ideas. Of course what is pinning without passing along? So here’s the latest in Halloween wreaths to hopefully spark some creativity on your own front door.
