 I decided to do a fall shadow box to show all the things I love about fall. I bought the little wooden box at the Dollar Tree and painted each section using acrylic paint in soft brown colors. I used a gold acrylic paint around the outside frame sections.

 I cut the word out on my Cricut Express and I sprayed Starfish colored Glimmer Mist on the background before gluing the letters down.

 I made an SVG file for this and cut it. I added some glitter to the apple by the basket.

 This was part of a pack of stickers I bought at A.C. Moores. I added Glossy Accents and Stickles glitter to it to give it some texture and shine.

 These two 3D stickers came the way you see them. I just adhered them to the box area.

 More from a sticker pack but I added Stickles glitter and Liquid Pearls to some of the leaves.

 I cut these little leaves out on my Cricut using one of my cartridges but I can't remember which one. I cut them about a 1/2 inch each in size. I then went back and added Glossy Accents to some and bent them in different shapes while they were drying. Other leaves, I added glitter glue and Stickles glitter too.

My wagon and pumpkin come from sticker packs but again I put some pizzaz to them by using my Glossy Accents and Stickles glitter.

Blog Candy Alert: I have a pack of distress Stickles in colors blue, orange and green to give away to those who become followers of mine and leave me a message today and tomorrow. If you're already a follower, just let me know in your comment and please, please, please leave me an email addy so I can contact you if you win. THANKS!
Thank you so much for visiting my blog and for hoping along with us these past two days. Happy fall ya'll!

Don't you just love haunted houses? Where the door creaks open and Boo! comes from no where?

I have fallen in love with shadow boxes and decided that is what I wanted to make so here it is...

 There was a glare on the glass that I was helpless to shot without.

I am so proud of this house. I designed it and made the svg in Inkscape. I've made a few other things but this one so far is the best. It needs some more work so I'm not passing the file on quite yet but I plan to in the next week or so, so please check back often if you are interested in grabbing it.

 I used regular Mod Podge on the witch. I dabbed it on to give it a uneven layer. The moon has gliter Mod Podge but I just couldn't get a good picture. It really sparkles.

These two show the layering I did. I had up to three layers I was working with.

Paper Used: K & Company stack like what I am giving away.
          DCWV: The Midnight Spell stack from last year and the Harvest Gathering Stack from this year.
Bats, spiders, and Pumpkins stickers:  Darico
Gravestones: Martha Steward gravestone punch and stamp set
Cricut Cartridges: October 31st - tree cut at H8 inches linked (twice - once in a solid green and once in wood designed paper) , gate cut at H2.00 inches linked
     Happy Hauntings - witch cut at H2 inches linked
     3 Birday on Parade - yellow background moon cut at W3 inches and H 6.69 inches and green moon
                                     cut at W 2. 90 x H 6.47
Ghosts: Free SVG file from Images by Heather M using transparency paper.

How lucky can you get? I had this blog hop which I am in and my daughter had a birthday party to go to  on the same day so I made a card that worked for both.

I think if you are royalty you should be able to yell at any given moment, "Bring on the cake," and it should arrive. I know, I know...in my dreams. A girl can dream though, can't she? : )

Card Stock: light purple cut at 11 inches by 4 1/2. I was going for a A2 card but once I started cutting preferred a more square card.

Crown Cut: Birthday Bash Cricut cartridge cut at height 4.00 inches linked.
Crown Paper: DCWV Cotton Bloom stack

Stamp: i-cling

rick rack: Disney's Where Dreams Begin

Have a royal day!
