Now that Bria is getting a little older, decorating for the holidays is getting so fun!! She gets so excited and when she see`s the decorations she tells me how beautiful they are! :) So sweet.... 

Here is my project!! I got part of the idea from a magazine and the other part of the idea from Sarah`s (from Pink Cricut) Halloween Wreath. (HERE to check it out!) 

I know it`s hard to see in this pic, so I took some close ups of all the parts.

I used the September Pink By Design stamp of the month, Guess Who, for my project, along with the Mini Monsters cartridge. The paper I used for the rosettes was from a package of Recollections paper. On that note, if you plan on making rosettes, make sure to use the thicker paper... When I was scoring this is would tear if I wasn`t careful. 

 I cut a bunch of felt circles (traced the rim of a cup on some cardboard, cut it out, then used the cardboard circle template to lay on top of a couple sheets of felt to cut around) and used my new sewing machine to sew around the outside. And yes, I realized I need a lot of practice!! Some of these circles look like they were sewn by a 5 year old! Then I cut a bunch of circles in regular white cardstock and stamped the Guess Who characters onto them using StazOn ink. I colored them in with my Glaze pens by sakura. Then I used Tim Holtz black distress ink to ink the edges. 

I made 3 different sized rosettes. The middle sized rosettes had the Guess Who stamps in the center. 

I used some epoxy brads from Wal-Mart for the centers of the smallest rosettes. 

The biggest rosette had another smaller rosette in the center and then I cut the spider from Mini Monsters and glued him onto the center. I used some stickles for her cheeks and some googly eyes from the dollarstore. I strung the felt circles and rosettes together using twine from the Pink By Design store. 

Hope you like my project!! My plans are to make a matching banner for another wall in this room!! Now hop on over to see what Emily has to show you!!
