Monster Mash Blog Hop

Welcome to the Monster Mash Blog Hop Day #1

For my monster from his slab, began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise
He did the mash, he did the monster mash
It was a graveyard smash!

Let's get this Monster Party started!
Hey There,  Today I am here to share with you some Halloween Home Decor projects I made.  I actually sent the Witch to my sister in Georgia for her Halloween Decor.  

The frames came from Michael's -from their Dollar spot and they both came in Orange.  One of my frames came broken.  Instead of throwing it away, which I almost did, I used mod podge and I sprinkled my glitter mixture around the frame.  I had to let it sit over night to make sure it was all dry before touching it.  My Glitter Mixture is Chunky Glitter and Fine Glitter mixed together.  After the first coat dried and if I had any small places that didn't adhere I just used a black sharpie to fill in the spot.  I think I only had one or two.  I sealed the glitter in with a final coat of Mod Podge on top of the glitter. 
The pattern paper inside the frame is from Graphic 45.  I colored the Magnolia image in with my copic markers and then cut out with my scissors and adhered to frame with foam dots.  Added other doo dads around the frame to make it look pretty.    
This witch is a Prima stamp set that comes with the bats & the pumpkin as well as the sentiment.  I colored in with my copics and did more fussy cutting.  I adhered to my frame with foam dots.  Added more doo dads around the frame to make it pretty.  

Thank you so much for stopping by today!
