Halloween Day 2 - Candy Corn Art

I swear everyday does not involve candy corn.  But like I said yesterday..I'm a whole lot little obsessed this year!

Oh, but here's the super exciting part (YES...I said super exciting again...it's a problem, like me and exclamation points!!!!...I'll work on it)...I got to use my new Cricut!!!  In case you didn't read my story last weekend, go here to read how I got my Cricut.

I just took this picture and frame that normally hang in my living room (which is a water color I purchased on the Island of Capri when I was stationed in Italy - sorry for the bad photo and washed out colors):

And I just took this picture out for the time being (it will go back in there after Halloween) and replaced it with the new one I made using scrapbook paper I had (which I had actually purchased because I liked the reverse side, I didn't pay attention to this woodgrain side when I bought it).  I cut the letters with my Cricut using the George and Basic Cartridge that came with it, and another, larger, candy corn that I made when I made the ones for my candy corn tree.

I was playing with how I wanted the layout when it occured to me they shared the "n"...and that's how I came up with this layout! 

I'm also in love with this project!!  And like yesterday's Candy Corn Tree...it was also FREE!!  I mean, yes, the Cricut cost me alot of money, but I don't think I have to add the cost of that into my project do I?  If so, I SOOO overpaid for this candy corn picture! LOL

But I mostly love it because this was made with all things I already had on hand AND it was an original idea!!  I don't get those very often...I'm usually just a good copier.  So, original ideas that actually turn out cute get me all kinds of jazzed up! :)

I hope you liked today's project!!  Don't forget this is a full 7 days series...so come back tomorrow for another project...that was not free or easy and frustrated me to pieces...but turned out too cute for words. ;)

Until tomorrow...
