Here are some free Hallowe'en svg. files I found on the internet. I thought I'd share them just in the nick of time for the upcoming, eerily spooky "All Hallow's Eve." Wishing everyone a scarily safe time.
Make a faux taxidermy "Reindeer" head ready for the holidays with only "2" sheets of paper/cardstock. Just follow the "3" simple steps below. As an added option, decorate it to make it your own--if you feel so inclined to do so. Or make it stylish by using printed cardstock.)
Note: The piece labeled "Noggin" is actually a piece of the "neck." Now follow these three easy steps to create: print, cut, assemble. Optional: Decorate as you wish. I recommend making easy ornaments to hang off antlers. Cut/punch out 4-6 identical circles. Then fold each circle in half. Afterwards, glue the right back-half of one circle to the left back-half of another circle. Repeat this process until you've glued 4-6 circle halves back-to-back until you reach the fullness of ornament you like. Then glue the last right circle back-half to the left back-half of the very first circle you started to create the ornament with. Furthermore, add string or use actual metal ornament hooks to hand your circle ornaments from antlers. Repeat process until you create as many ornaments as you desire to decorate reindeer head. P.S. I gotta give credit to Ty from KnowItAllCrafts for this project.
Unfortunately I was dropped/suspended for not meeting the quarterly quota. When that happens, you have to wait 3 long months before you can reapply. However, I'll be able to take advantage of purchasing one of our new consultant kits. In the meantime I'll spend this hiatus updating information on our products, and whatever else I feel like posting. Have a wonderful day. "I hope you have a safe and frightfully wicked Halloween!"

Once I am notified of your order, I will contact you to see which C-size stamp set in the current catalog, you would like me to send you for FREE!* Do you own the Japanese "Gansai Tambi" watercolors featured in Kristian Warner, Jennifer McGuire, and Nichol Magouirk's Youtube videos? I know everyone has mentioned, "Sure wish I knew the name of each color kartsonset? Well...I found a site that has the first diagram, showing each color's name in "English," that you can print out. To whisk away to "Art Meierhofer" site click here. Once there, scroll down and click on the "printer" image to print out diagram. The second chart is from "Jackson's Art Supplies." I preferred this chart since it's easier to read. I just enlarged the diagram when I sent it to print, then cut 'em out and glued them in their respective place on the diagram underneath the bottom of lid. The "Gansai Tambi" watercolors are among my top 3 favs, based upon cheaper price point (bang for your buck) in regards to the richness of color pigment. (Of course, color saturation depends upon amount of water used.) "Peerless" watercolors are my 1st favorite. Here's a video review on "Peerless" watercolors by "AmyR" at Youtube: Prairie Paper & Ink.
