Halloween Wood Blocks

Halloween is the best holiday. I like to dress up, decorate the house, hand out candy and participate in corn mazes, haunted houses, trunk or treats and hay rides. What a great time of year.  One of my favorite things to do is make wood blocks. Most of the companies do a sheet of paper that comes in 4x4, 4x6, 3x4 or a variation of these sizes. So for the cost of a sheet of paper and some wood blocks I can make some pretty spectacular decorations in under 2 hours. If you like these wood blocks, and want to make your own, the supplies can be found at Allscrapbooksteals.com in the section marked Wood Shoppe. Happy Crafting!!! Jacqueline

I like to add dimension, the candy corn  doodle-pop fit perfect, the jewels really make it sparkle

We have a black cat named "Bear" so of course we had to do this block with a cat.

I wanted the web to really stand out...I just love jewels.

Doodlebug October 31st 12x12 Bump in the Night 4826 does not need any embellishments. It is already cute on its own.

This owl has the cutest eyes.

Maybe i went a little crazy on the bling, but I do like the sparkle.

This paper is from Doodlebug October 31st 12x12 Stitching Hour 4819.

The back side of these Halloween is back to school. I love it.

I just want to get more out of my blocks so they can be turned around.

Wood Blocks Easy and Fun!!!

I know that you have heard this from me before, but I love decorating for the holidays. It is not just putting out stuff for the holiday. I love to make it. I realized last fall that this was a type of therapy for me. If I can sit, focus, and create something, I am a happier, calmer person. My kids often joke that I need a "wood intervention". I just laugh and tell them would you rather have a sane, happy, mama or a grouchy one. They love to tease me, but they really do like the decorations I put out. It just makes the house feel like home.

One of my favorite things right now is making 3 blocks and grouping them together. With many of the scrapbook companies producing, 4x6, 3x4, and 4x4 papers this is easier than ever. I can usually have a project done in under 2 hours. (Instant Gratification!!!) Check out the Wood Shoppe section at Allscrapbooksteals.com today to start your own Wood Projects.
