Friday Flashback – Cricut Halloween Crafts

Here’s a Flashback look at some things I made last year for Halloween.  My favorite?  The craft pumpkin I carved by using a template I created from the Mini Monograms Cricut cartridge.

 Halloween Gift Lunch Bags

I love to keep white or colored bags on hand.  They’re great for a field trip lunch or to make gift bags.  I made these for DS#2’s b’day last year.  Save money on bags…spend more on treats!
