Half Moon Witch Light Fixture Cover Up

I have a light fixture in my Kitchen that has been missing the glass cover. I know it was missing last Summer when we stayed in my Father-in-Law's rental house and well... Put it this way if the mechanics of something is working properly that is all that matters!
So, here is what you see if you look up:
Oh, so pretty right!

So, Since I am having Family Dinner at my house Sunday and I am going with the Halloween theme. I made this light cover up!


So, Do you want to know how I made it?

Using my Cricut and the A Child's Year Cartridge I cut out 4 of the 2 different style witches. I varied the sizes too. The largest was cut at 5", then I when down to 3 1/2" and then two cut at 2 1/2" - The witches represent our family members. Hubby, Daughter, Son and Me....oh and there are two cats on one of the designs. So, my two dogs are represented.....maybe under a spooky spell!

Next, I tied the witches with one strand of embroidery floss in an ivory shade.

I just guessed that I needed about 4 half moons & mounting strips in Yellow. Using my Creative Memories Custom Cutting Tool - Jumbo Circle. I cut out 4 half circles in mulberry paper.

Attached my yellow cardstock strip, which was cut 1" x 12" and to the back attached mini glue dots. Using the mini glue dots facing the edge of the fixture I stuck each section up.


Adjust as I when around the fixture and TA-DA, Hocus Pocus, Al-shsam!

Echo Park Page

Here is a page I made using Echo Park Papers. I caught my boy after the sounds of laughter turn to silence...So, as a Mom you know it is time to investigate. Found him inside his toybox and the toy spread across the floor. When I asked him,"Who did this?" He replies, "Becky DO!"
At 2 years and 1 month old, I am always amazed at how much he picks up! I am always saying "Monkey, See Monkey Do" and blaming his sister for his mess is just one of those moments.
After, I asked him, "Who is going to clean this up?" Luke called Becky to join me in the toybox and as they are cracking up with laughter. They tell me, "Mommy"
Sorry it's a gloomy day here and at night my lighting is bad.

I made this tag below by using some scraps and the EP paper names from the papers I used. 

Popped up my stamped and fussy cut letters

Liftateers - Year 3, Week #7

I missed out on doing Week #6 But I am working on that one.

Here is my Week #7 - lifted from Jeannie #5377  www.fiskateers.com/community/photo/62321/

I need to finish the title the ink was still tacky-- thinking calling it "Together" and add some doodling to the banner.
When I took this photo I had to add two more family surnames to the list of families at the wedding at relate to my genealogy.
I will update once I finish completely!
