Wintertime Fun!
This week at Glue Arts the sponsor is Echo Park, and these winter time papers are so fun! I love the blue and red combo especially. I actually wanted to put them in my guest room for a little project (and I still just might)!
I decided to take the pictures from my parents' cabin and scrap a mini album of my kids playing in the snow.
I also decorated the front of my album.
Thanks for stopping by!

Just two more Halloween projects...
I am so sorry for neglecting my blog this week! I have been very busy working on other projects and time just got away from me.
This first project was on the Glue Arts blog yesterday. I bought the kit for this frame at Tuesday Morning a long time ago. It was supposed to be a baby theme, but I thought it would be cute with Halloween pictures on it.
You could certainly make your own frame pieces from layers of chipboard or cardboard. I'd cut them into a headstone shape if I was making this from scratch :)
Halloween Stand up frame by Jessica Barnett
Supplies Needed:
Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro with Perma Tac refill
Glue Arts U-Cut-It foam adhesive
Glue Arts Extreme Adhesive squares
Glue Arts Ribbon Adhesive
Echo Park Happy Halloween collection
May Arts webbed weave ribbon
3 Photos
Frame kit (or mdf cut into tombstone shapes)
Black ink
Black pen
Paper trimmer
Edge distresser
Grey satin ribbon
Thin black ribbon
Staple gun
Hot glue gun
Ruffled ribbon
Spider themed embellishments
Black paint and brush
Sandpaper
Scissors
Instructions:
1. Paint the edges of the three shapes and allow to dry.
2. Cover the shapes in papers from the Echo Park Halloween collection using the Glue Glider Pro to attach them. Sand the edges for a clean fit after the papers are attached.
3. Attach ruffled ribbon around the edge of the Happy Halloween sticker with the glue gun, then attach the sticker to the center frame with Glue Arts U-Cut-It foam adhesive.
4. Distress the edges of the photos and mat with the Echo Park papers and the Glue Glider Pro. Add names to the photos with the Echo Park letter stickers. Ink the mats with black ink.
5. Run pieces of grey satin ribbon along the frame pieces, just below center. Attach the pieces with Glue Arts Ribbon adhesive. Use the small Glue Arts Extreme Adhesive squares to attach the May Arts web ribbon over the satin ribbon.
6. Attach the photos to the frame pieces using Glue Arts U-Cut-It foam adhesive.
7. Fill in around the photos and over the ribbon with strips of paper and stickers. Trace around the stickers with black pen to help them stick out against the paper.
8. Attach the frame pieces to each other by stapling short pieces of black ribbon the backs of each piece.
These were the treats that I made for my kids to give out to their friends in class. I made a total of about 75 of them so they needed to be cheap and easy. These definitely fit the bill. Especially with felt on sale for Halloween.
They're just little DumDum suckers. Square of felt, pipe cleaner at the neck, hot glue on some googly eyes and sharpie for the mouth. I printed the tags onto patterned paper, then cut, inked and added the name. That way each kids' suckers just said their names instead of all three of my boy's names. (Also, a big thanks to Kim because she actually did all the inking for me). The tags are also hot glued to the back of the ghost heads.
Tucker and my nephew were playing with them and making them fly around and talk to each other at school today, so I guess I did okay.

Echo Park and Glue Arts Halloween Decor
Echo Park sent the Glue Arts DT their Halloween line and I had a lot of fun working with it! I love Halloween papers and scrappy projects.
This broom took me a little while to make, but it involves paint drying and that's a big part of the time. Other than that it's fairly simple. I bought the broom at JoAnne's in case you're wondering. It's pretty cute and sparkly in person :)
Boo Broom by Jessica Barnett
Supplies Needed:
Glue Arts Extreme Adhesive Squares
Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro and Perma Tac refill
Glue Arts U-Cut It foam adhesive
Echo Park Happy Halloween collection
4-5 yards of 2” wide black ribbon
Broom
Wooden letters for BOO
Staple gun and staples
Buttons
Embroidery thread and needle
Black paint and brush
Black pen
Scissors
Craft knife
Sandpaper
Pencil
Instructions:
1. Use the black paint to paint the edges of the letters and allow to dry.
2. Trace the letters onto the wrong side of the papers with the pencil and cut out using the scissors and craft knife.
3. Attach papers to the letters using the Glue Glider Pro and Perma Tac refill. Sand the edges to get a smooth finish.
4. Add the sticker to the letter B and trace with a black pen. For the other letters, attach the stickers to scraps of paper, then cut out and attach to the letters using Glue Arts U-Cut It foam adhesive.
5. Tie the embroidery floss through the centers of all the buttons. Attach buttons to the letters using Glue Arts Extreme Adhesive Squares.
6. Fold one-yard pieces of the ribbon in half, and staple the center of the fold to the backs of the letters. Tie the ribbon into knots , then staple through the knots to the broom. Tie a second knot and trim the ribbon ends. Attach a button to each knot with Glue Arts Extreme Adhesive Squares.
7. Tie a bow around the broom bristles and trim the ends of the ribbon.
This treat basket is the easiest thing to make! I found the basket in the $2.50 section at Target. I like making things like this with my scraps and leftovers after I'm done with a bigger project.
Treat Basket by Jessica Barnett
Supplies Needed:
Glue Arts Extreme Adhesive Squares
Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro with Perma Tac refill
Echo Park Happy Halloween collection
Paper trimmer
Scissors
Spellbinders Nestabilities scalloped circle die
Black chalk ink
Ringed Basket
Ruler
Bone folder and scoring board
Hot Glue gun
Instructions:
1. Use the ruler to measure the height of the two rings on the basket. Cut two strips from two different patterned papers that are 12 inches long and are a little less tall than the measurement.
2. Ink the edges of the papers with the chalk ink, then attach them to the basket using the Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro and Perma Tac refill. Use small Glue Arts Extreme Adhesive squares on the ends for an extra secure hold.
3. Cut two strips from a third color of paper that are 12 by 1.5 inches. Score every half inch, and accordion fold. Ink the edges and creases with chalk ink. Trim the ends of the folds at an angle to get the points. Attach the ends to each other with the Glue Glider Pro and Perma Tac refill. Shape into a circle and attach to a scrap circle of paper using the hot glue gun.
4. Cut out a scalloped circle with the Nestabilities dies that is just larger than the Oct. 31 sticker and ink the edges. Attach the sticker to the center and use Glue Arts Extreme Adhesive Squares to attach to the piece made in step 3, then attach the piece to the front of the basket with the hot glue gun.
