Altered Soda Bottles and More

I've been working on Halloween treats for some special kids in our lives.  The bucket is for our "almost" grandson, who is 9.  The bag is for his sister, a little more sophisticated at 14.  The altered soda bottles are for our two neighbor kids. 

I used Cricut Vinyl for the bucket images cut from Pumpkin Carvings, Paper Doll Dress Up, and Lyrical Letters.  I found that I had to set my blade and pressure at 2 so that I didn't cut through the vinyl backing.

I used Basic Grey Element Stickers for most of the decorations on these soda bottles.  I also used the MS DrippyGoo punch on the paper border.  I hope they have fun trying to figure out how to get the goodies out of the bottles!

And for my teenager, I found this great paper by My Mind's Eye that only needed her name and some ribbon added.

It's always fun to do something a little extra for those special kiddos in your life.  I hope they enjoy their treats.

Hugs and Happy Crafting,

Beware!

Today's card is a two-for-one.  I posted it on the Gyspy Chat challenge and Raq's Card Challenge - both on the NEW Cricut messageboard.  The sketch came from the Raq challenge and the recipe came from the Gypsy challenge.  Here's the recipe:  1. a holiday card  2. at least two images (tag, spider, web)  3. 1 word (Beware) 4. 1 weld (eek)  5. 1 image stretched (Beware)  6. 1 image squeezed (tag)  7. at least three cartridges (Lyrical Letters, Pumpkin Carving, October 31, George).  I also added Stickles to Beware and a little bling here and there.  The web in the corners is the circle web from PC.  I cut off the circle and then cut the web in half.  I tried the web from October 31 and it was just too delicate at that size.

Family's coming in for a visit so I hope to keep up with my posts.  If not, I'll be back this weekend.

Hugs and Happy Crafting,
