Making It With Allie - And an Excuse

Things around here have been wild!
It's not the greatest excuse, but things have not settled down enough to be able to "blog appropriately..."
But that does not mean that I haven't been working on things when I have a hot-minute...
If only I had four clones...
So, you will have to party without me this week.

Now,  it's time for the

Making It With Allie

Halloween is coming!
And I am SO excited!
September 1 came around and I didn't care how hot that attic was!
I was getting out the Halloween!

So, I have had the thought for a while that I wanted to have a miniature tree with birds and some spooky headstones.
But have you seen the price on those positional trees, lately??
I can't stomach $30 or even half that with a coupon...
So, I decided I could grab some paper covered floral wire and make one.
And I think it turned out pretty great!
AND it only took half an hour!!
Yay! for me for doing it for $2.99!
Now I need to decide if it gets a coat of black paint and/or superfine black glitter....
Any suggestions?

Here it is with some little birds, headstones and piles of bones:

Now, I'm off to finish some more Halloween decorating!

Here's a sneak peak of what I am working on:

Making IT With Allie - My Biggest Cubs Fan

 Hello friends!
First, I want to announce the winner of last week's contest from
Release Me Create!

Alexis
Maureen from Release Me Create will contact you!
Congratulations!

And to get the party started, I want to share my latest project!
You know the type of person who is SO hard to gift for?
You know the type -if they want it, they get it before you have a chance to surprise them...
Well, my biggest Cubs Fan is VERY much like this.
And it is his birthday this weekend.
And that basically means it's a holiday...
So, I REALLY had to put my thinking cap on to figure the right gift out...
So, as I am trying to think of ideas for his (and my brother's and my father's birthdays who all fall within 5 days of each other) I found this fabulousness:

This is probably THE perfect gift, as he is a Cubs FAN-atic.

This one loves the Cubs so much he can be found at Wrigley on most nice summer days, taking in a good game. But who doesn't love a good Cub's game, right? ☺

But the price tag on this baby was out of my budget.

AND, it was not handmade by Me.

So, I had to figure a way to make something like this for him.

That is when my mind got going and I pulled out my Silhouette and started to make my own version.

Instead of layering and screen printing (which I don't have those fun tools...)

I used canvas and heat-transfer and some painted dowels.

It was REALLY fun.

The one I did is a bit different, but I think it has a similar feel.

And now since I have figured the perfect gift, what on earth am I going to do next year??
