Halloween Printables Linky Party

I thought I'd share a collection of Halloween printables I've found online!  Feel free to link up some you've found, too!  :)

Family Fun is one of my favorite magazines.  They offer a variety of printables such as:  masks, cards, stationary, stickers, games, and more.  They offer many other fun things year round, too!

Here's another blog that had a compilation too awesome to pass up!

Another blog by the name of halloween-cards.blogspot.com says it all.

Another compilation of free halloween printables.

Here's some more from Kaboose.

Here's a nice variety.

This variety is from a website called Teacher Vision, so I would think it's safe to say that these are likely educational, too!

Simple and cute from another blog.

Here's another blog I haven't actually checked out, yet, but thought I'd mention it anyways.

This one has always been one of my absolute favorite sources for papercrafts!

Batty Specimens

Lookie, lookie what I made from ALL recycled stuff!  I found 3 of these frames in a trash pile a few years ago.  And all the "batty specimens" were punched out of trash!  (Some advertisements and some packaging for some stuff I bought.)  My bats aren't as pretty as the ones I was inspired by at Tatertots and Jello, but I still think they are cute.  I tried to get the best picture possible, but lighting is horrible everywhere in my house!

I painted the frame black.  And since I was also inspired by my butterflies, I wanted a glass background and I wanted to mirror the pattern a bit.  Between sessions hunched over Sally (my newest sewing machine) I will stare at my butterflies and I am taken far away.  So when I saw this project at Tatertots and Jello, I just knew I had to have one, too!

Happy Halloween!!!


**Update:  I forgot to mention that the glue on the bats was from my recent treasure gift.  The glue that holds the back glass on is fingernail polish!  (It has to be used for something!  LOL)**

So a last week I followed links from here to there and ended up downloading a Resident Evil Cubee Zombie!  He is so cute that I just had to have him for Halloween!
Here he is:

Word of advice:  Print out at normal size!  Do not attempt to make a mini army of them by printing them smaller!  AHHH!!!  LOL

You should totally check them out!  Which of them are your favorites?
