Happy October

Hi everyone!
.
I can't tell you how happy I am that October has arrived. It is definitely one of my absolute favorite months. I love the cool chill in the air, leaves changing colors and creating all sorts of Halloween goodies. The funny thing is, as much as I love creating Halloween goodies, I am not real good about giving them away. This year I hope to use my stash of Halloween cards.
.
Speaking of creating Halloween goodies, I have a Glue Dots® project to share with you today.
.

.
1. Start off painting a chipboard house with black paint. (mine is by Maya Road)
2. Cut strips of white cardstock and ink each strip with brown and black ink.
3. Layer strips on the base of the house using Continuous Glue Lines®.
4. Create windows by cutting thin strips of cardstock and paint them using black acrylic paint. Attach to rectangular pieces of Cup of Eyeballs paper by Jillibean Soup. Cut thin strips of black cardstock to create the panes.
5. Cut door out of chipboard and paint with black paint. Attach silver brad and distress with black ink. Adhere door and windows to front of the house with Craft Glue Dots®.

6. Cut spiders out of Spooky Spiders paper by Little Yellow Bicycle and attach to front of house.
7. Attach tree and ghost from Boo-ville Chipboard Shapes by Little Yellow Bicycle using Pop Up Glue Dots®.
8. Paint a 5 x 7 canvas using a mix of green and black acrylic paint. Do not mix the paints completely to give the canvas a streaked look.
9. Paint fence with black paint and attach to canvas. I got my fence on clearance from Jeffrey Allen but if you do not have a fence you can make your own. Check out this post for instructions.
.

.
10. Create the shingles by using a scallop punch to cut strips of Graveyard paper by Echo Park. Paint edges with white acrylic paint. Use Glue Dots Continuous Lines® to attach the shingles and black tinsel to the roof.
11. Paint Bazzill chipboard cat black and attach to house with Pop Up Glue Dots®.
12. Use yellow embossing powder to cover Bazzill chipboard moon and attach to roof using black wire.
