TO THE BAT CAVE ROBIN!!!
UP UP and AWAY!

I have two foster daughters that I took in about 18 months ago. I took them in because they needed a safe loving home. Both of them are now pregnant. These are my first grandbabies!! I am so excited. The first one is due any day. As I am typing this my girl is timing her contractions. So I might be a Nana by the time you get done hopping!!
The second little guy is due in the middle of July. His mommy and daddy are both DC Comic, Batman fans. I hosted the baby shower in May. It was Batman themed. 



 I used my Cameo and found some Batman outlines. It was fun because I figured out how to trace with the software. This was a first for me.



One of the games we played was How big is Lincoln's Bat Cave. LOL!! 


 I decorated the back porch as will with lots of Batman symbols. 


I also made a stencil and got a crib. I sanded it and painted it black and added the Batman logo to the headboard and footboard!


We can not wait for our little man to join us and start using his Batman crib. 
Hope you all have a great weekend while I am on baby watch!! 

Up next is SARAH!!!

Each year on the first Saturday in May, it is National Scrapbook Day. 

Also known as National Scrapbooking Day, on this day thousands of people get together all over the country to celebrate with scrapbooking parties and share their talents with others. 

Scrapbooking dates back to the 15th century.

As per Wikipedia: “Scrapbooking is a method for preserving personal and family history in the form of a scrapbook. Typical memorabilia include photographs, printed media, and artwork. Scrapbook albums are often decorated and frequently contain extensive journaling. Scrapbooking is a widely practiced pastime in the United States.”

Scrapbooking is a hobby of preserving memories and at the same time it provides a strong social network.

  ”Scrappers”, as they are called, get together and scrapbook at each others homes, local scrapbook stores, scrapbooking conventions, retreat centers and have even gone on cruises.  Together they share tips and ideas and enjoy the social outlet.

Scrapbookers are often referred to as "Paper Hoarders".

This was an inspiring theme. I spent some time thinking about the theme and lots of ideas rolled through my head. Ultimately I decided to go with a 70's song. I love the song Everyone Was Kung Fu Fighting. When I thought about the 70's I thought of that song and my mind went to all the years my son's did karate. I know Karate is NOT Kung Fu. But, that's what I thought of so I went with. It's a pretty simple yet fun layout. 



I used Color Co-Ordinates, Bazzill and a piece of printed paper I had in my stock. The lettering is Thickers.

Let's get this Monster Party started!

I am so glad you joined us today. Here is my project. It is a pumpkin made from an older paperback book. It is very simple to make and it makes a really cute decoration. 

Here are the supplies. 
You will need a paperback book, a pair of scissors and make a simple template from a piece of tag board. 
All you have to do is trace the template with a marker onto the cover. Then hold a few pages together and cut them. Continue to do this until you have completed cutting the entire book. 


Once you have completely cut the book you can decorate it as you would like. I used the Heidi Swap colors. I decided to make it glimmery. I think it came out really cute. I added a small toule bow to the top of the pumpkin.




Well you have come to the end of your SPOOOOOOKY journey. We all hope you have enjoyed yesterday and today as much as we have enjoyed bring all our projects to you. Hopefully something you have seen this weekend will inspire you to get crafty!! Don't forget to check back on Connie's page later this week for the winners of the blog candy!

Have a great and SPOOOKY Sunday!!
