This is the last Halloween project I plan on doing this year.....I think I've had enough.
Most of my decor is super scary.....which is the one reason why my nephew is afraid to be inside my house.
So I thought I'd make something that is...not so scary.
Check it out....
I really wanted to do something with newsprint or pages from a book but.....they're just not as colorful as I'd like them to be. To be perfectly honest...I don't have any books that I want to destroy and I definitely don't read newspapers...that's what the internet is for right?
So I made my own "newsprint" in Microsoft Word and chose some bright, colorful, patterned paper.
The "newsprint" is actually Halloween related poems.
I cut out some basic Halloween shapes, inked the edges a little bit and attached them to the patterned paper.
Finally, I swapped out some pictures that were in this black frame and added the new stuff.
So there you have it.....cheap, simple and cute!!

Great idea!! I love that you used Halloween poems instead of regular old newspaper, more appropriate. I am always looking for cute decor ideas and definitely remembering this one. (came via Tatertots and Jello)

Hi,
I just came over from Sunny's. This is a very cute project. Personally I like cute Halloween decorations. And, I really like the chair embellishment in your last post...very pretty idea! (-:
How fun !
I LOVE the idea of using scary poems as your "newsprint," uber creative!
Saw this on Craft Gossip - precious!
Cute idea and I love the bright colors. Would be great for Thanksgiving or even Christmas too :)
very cute! and I love that its just paper, super easy with such a cute turn out. Jen
This is so cute! I love that you made your own paper for the cut outs! I have a four year old scardy cat, and she'd love this sweet Halloween decoration! Would love you to join me at A Crafty Soiree, every Thursday.
I don't usually decorate for Halloween but might have to try this next year.
Oh how cute!
You are very creative!
Thank you for sharing!

I love this! Love the colors used. Thank you for linking up to All About You Monday, stop by today, I feautred your project.
Very cute Halloween idea ~ and you could totally change it up for other seasons too :)

I love this!! Super cute! :)
Thanks so much for the comment you left on my blog. Because of your comment I got to come over here and see all your creations! Fabulous! Love this one and all the ones below!
Looks great! I did something similar by printing my own Halloween paper for a bat collage. Much cheaper than buying fancy holiday scrapbook paper and you can customize it to say exactly what you want. Stopping by from Sew Woodsy's Halloween link party.
I love these!
Eeek~ I love this! Your project is truly spooktacular!
This is a really cute idea!
I absolutely love it!
These are great, such a good idea. Thanks for linking up to Olivia Renn!
Love these!
I'm thinking something similar (with diff shapes of course) would be cute for Thanksgiving too!
Thanks for linking up to the Catwalk!
I love this and I'm featuring it tomorrow! Grab a feature button if you'd like.
oh what an awesome idea! Come link up @ Ladybug Blessings Handmade Tuesdays whenever you get a chance! (Not that you don't have enough link parties already hehe.)
So cute! I love the colors and bow to you for decorating for a holiday. I fail miserably in that department.
These turned out so cute, and I love the colors. I will definitely be trying to find a project to use this technique with for Christmas.
Thanks for sharing!
Love these, what a great idea! Thanks for stopping by and following. I am following you back!
