Halloween Decor with Xyron, Graphic 45 and Petaloo!

Today I want to share with you my Halloween Door Hanger. Perfect Decor for your front door, although I hang mine inside my front door so I can enjoy it! I made this project from half inch Foam Core, a recycled mirror from the thrift store, fabulous Graphic 45 papers, Gorgeous Petaloo Flowers, and my favorite go-to Xyron products. At then end of my post there is a Video Tutorial for the Mirror Image Transfer technique using my Xyron 5 Inch Creative Station so make sure you check it out!

{I love how the image transfer using Craft Attitude looks so spooky}

{I was going to have my door hanger say "welcome" but since my twins looked so spooky I decided "beware vintage ghosts" was more appropriate!}

{I used my new Xyron 3 Inch Sticker Maker to glitter my letters- just run them upside down in the sticker maker, then sprinkle with glitter- perfect and mess free (almost!)}

{I used a combination of Petaloos Darjeeling Flowers in Blacks, Creams, Paprika and Greys to embellish the hanger. I used Xyrons new Adhesive Dots to adhere them}

{I also used some of Petaloos Color Me Crazy Chipboard gears. I gave them a spray with Clearsnaps Dye Ink Spritzers in 3 different colors to get the old rusty look}

{I love transferring onto mirror! This mirror had some scratches on it, but I think it worked for the theme. Using the Xyron Creative Station assures no adhesive residue shows through- and I am going to show you how to do it! So here's a quick video on the process and see my supply list for everything you need to make your own!

Ankle Update!

I can't believe that it was 90 days ago to the date that I broke my ankle in two places at Derby practice. It's been a long and emotional road for me. The pain part has not been so bad, but the mental part of being injured has definitely been the worst. I go from dying to get back out on my skates and play again, to utter fear of even putting my skates on. Fear is real. Unfortunately, I know fear can cause me injury again. It was hard enough telling my Boss and Mom this time, (who were both not so happy about me playing) how could I make the call a SECOND time? At 90 days, I am walking without a knee walker, crutches or boot. I have a cane which I use to keep balanced- my Physical therapist says "NO LIMPIMG"! The funny thing is-take away my cane and I immediately start limping- use the cane and I walk pretty normal, except for the cane :). I decided to go on vacation with friends to the Bahamas and had a great time! My ankle swelled up on the flights and was angry at me for a few days. I took my knee scooter and it was a savior!  Mostly I was floating around in an innertube sipping margaritas though..so not a lot of strain going on there! Now I have a mega Blog Hop to prep for- all three of the manufacturers I design for and doing this hop so TRIPLE projects! So for now, just more Physical Therapy and walking practice and crafting!

{funny just noticed I am balancing on my good foot}



In love with Petaloo and Authentique!

Sometimes the planets align, and when I opened up my box of Petaloo Flowers and Authentique papers-it was love at first sight! So much I made two projects because I just wanted to use it all!
