Halloween Ideas from Convention

One of my favorite parts of Convention was the dozens of demonstrations of holiday projects. It is now August and I have already spent a few weeks thinking of Halloween and Christmas projects! I can't help it, I love holiday projects;) LOL For the past two years my husband has gone all out on Halloween. He decorates, creates a haunted house...he basically goes crazy! So when they featured an entire hour on Halloween home decor projects I was in HEAVEN. The pumkin project was my favorite. The words are Definately Decorative elements that you simply rub on the pumkins. Easy! The jewels are pre-swirled on a sheet and you just cut them and put them on the pumkin with a transfer sheet. Super easy too.

With the same sheet of Definately Decorative Halloween elements Brent (the SU presenter) made luminaries, like the one above. Imagine those on your door steps!

This Haunted House is my second favorite project. It is a pre-cut build a house item that will be in the Holiday Mini in September. When you look in the mini catalog it is decorated for Christmas as a Gingerbread House. Brent spray painted it black, sprinkled some SU Dazzling Diamonds and added some bats he made with the new bat punch. How COOL is that! He didn't stop there, he then added vellum to the window and added a flicker candle inside.

This was a skeleton garland he made and dazzled it up with chunky glitter.

And of course, there has to be favors filled with candy at any Halloween event. Here are some cute ones. Don't you love the adorable witch hats!

All of these products are available in the Holiday Mini coming out on September 1st. Do you want me to mail you a Holiday Mini? Email me (mayramt@hotmail.com) your name and home address and I will send you one in September.

I can also teach you how to make these projects when you host a workshop.

Enjoy!

Decoration Inspiration from Convention

I will be showing you plenty of card and paper craft ideas later this week from Convention. However, I thought I would focus today on the some decoration ideas. As you know, SU has a Definately Decorative line of home decor products. These include vinyl wall pieces and stencils. Above you can see a couple rooms using these products. The top one showcases one of SU's stencils on the wall. As you can see they stenciled the image all along the wall to look like wallpaper. I love it! I have that stencil and know know exactly what I am going to do with it.

The second photo shows off some of the vinyl pieces (the flowers on the wall in different colors) and the new chalkboard pieces (the lists). What a great idea for getting organized.

That is it for today. I came home from SLC with a cold and am not feeling so great. Come back tommorrow for more photos;)
