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. (Especially check out the no sanding required MDF wood blocks). Happy Crafting!!! Jacqueline

Easter Wood Projects

Easter is coming up this weekend. Now is a great time to stock up on all those fun Easter and Spring Papers before they are gone from Allscrapbooksteals.com. As I have mentioned before, I LOVE wood projects!!! (Check out the Wood Shoppe on Allscrapbooksteals.com website) They are fun, easy, and I receive instant gratification. This has been my favorite go-to hobby for the last 2 years. My children think it is hilarious that I am always painting something (they are ready to stage an intervention :-)). I know it is crazy, but when I create something it calms me down. I think that any type of hobby can ease anxiety and help with depression. This one is mine. After I finish a project, I seem to have more energy to get other stuff done. So whatever your hobby is, Happy Crafting!!! Jacqueline

St. Patrick's Day and Spring Wood Blocks

I love decorating for the holidays and my kids especially love the holiday decor around our house. One of my favorite decorating items to have (and to make) are wood blocks. They are fast and easy. They satisfy my need to craft in just under an hour. When I got out my paints and blocks last Saturday, my kids started joking that I need an intervention, because I love these blocks so much.

So many of the Companies have come out with 3x4, 4x4, and 4x6 journaling cards. These cards fit perfectly on varying sizes of wood blocks. (The different sizes of wood blocks, and paint are available at Allscrapbooksteals.com).  I pick out the cut-outs that I want and choose the size of block that fits it.  For these blocks I used the following papers from Doodlebug's Happy Go Lucky (12x12 Leprechaun Polka 4636, and Lucky Clovers 4631), Easter Parade (12x12 Bunny and Friends), and Hello Sunshine (12x12 Springtime Spray 4644).

With these blocks my friend and I decided to do St. Patrick's on one side and then Spring and Easter on the other. This way we only had to do one set of blocks, After St. Patrick's Day is over they can be turned around for Spring. We picked paint that would coordinate with both themed papers. After the papers were glued on, I added some jewels, sprinkles and ribbon. These embellishments really make them come alive. I hope you love them as much as I do. Check out the papers, wood, and paint at Allscrapbooksteals.com today!!! Happy Crafting!!! Jacqueline

St. Patrick's Day with the green, ribbon, jewels, and sprinkles.

turned around they are perfect for spring. (two in one). I used white, apple green, and leaf green to match both papers. 

Jewels add so much and really make it come alive.

I love the enamel sprinkle shapes and glitter circle for the sun and flowers. 

4x4 size is perfect to stack 

The jewels really bring out the colors.

I love how simple and easy these are
