gotta love googly eyes especially around Halloween! The background on this panel was created by stamping the dots in versamark and embossing in clear EP. A bit of black ink and it gives a great distressed background paper!

This next panel uses a fun trick that I discovered awhile ago. I blogged about it back on this POST, but basically it consists of utilizing the waste scraps on your cricut mat. In this case, I used the negative part of the spider web design (in white). I added glue to the tops of the scrap papers while they were still on the mat, placed my cardstock (black) that I wanted to adhere them down to, rubbed them down really well and waited for the glue to dry. When I peeled it up the spider web design was glued down to the cardstock. cool, huh? :) 

Have I mentioned how much I LOVE halloween?! This Pumpkin Carving Cricut cartridge is a fun one for creating decorations with! 

Eeeek! Spiders! Despite my fear of spiders I think this spider stamp is one of my favorites from the October mix! I stamped it in versamark and clear embossed it. Then I wiped a bit of white acrylic paint over it. 

This next photo is a few days late. I'm sure you've all seen some of the WOYWW posts where everyone shares a peek at their workdesks on Wednesdays. Well this is what is under my workdesk, LOL!  My youngest has decided that my island makes a great fort. This photo cracks me up when I look at some of the stuff in the photo. He created a wall with a baby gate and blanket...fish blanket of course! Check out all his fish books on his "desk". He has a shrek watch so he can tell the time. He drug his booster seat which he just moved out of (yay!) under the desk for a chair. 

Hey Larry! Happy Anniversary! ;)
