Ray Keim of Haunted Dimensions has some creepy facades you may enjoy making this fall.
There are two facades and my favorite one — the Skoolhouse.
They are all fun to make and display on your buffet table for your Halloween Party.
These make great centerpieces and also look frightfully fun for a coffee table or entry table . . . even a bookcase. You’ll have the makings of a great Halloween Village with these.
Click the image of Psycholoscarapy to the right for the PDF to download and print out. And while you’re at it click the image of ScreamHouse and also of the SkoolHouse to have the whole collection of Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights.
You may also want to hang out at Haunted Dimensions for awhile and get some more great paper crafts printables you can make for your Halloween decor or for family and friends. A donation would be nice to help keep these great paper crafts free.
Ray Keim is a great artist and has a wonderful website of scary things you may enjoy.
I am quite fond of this SkoolHouse and have had it up since August for Back-to-School. I’ve also added some monsters from Ray O’Bannon’s RavensBlight toy shop . . . He has a few characters I thought would add to the feeling of going back to school.
It may be unfair to speak unfavorably about the lunchroom selection of food. I know when I went to school in the dark ages our school lunches weren’t too bad . . . not like Mom’s cooking, but I did like their Chili Beans on a cold rainy day . . . And back then those lunches were only 35¢ . . . unbelievable, huh?
Those were the days . . . and since then there have been movies about the cafeteria lady . . . and maybe the janitor, too . . .
All the scare the wits out of kids . . . or to make them wonder . . . is it possible? Did Harry move away . . . or did something . . . or someone get him? Then there was sweet Marsha . . . she wasn’t around one day after school . . . hummm, I don’t remember seeing her after lunch . . . And, then there’s Bobby and Sam . . . Lisa and what was her name . . . ? Makes you wonder doesn’t it?
Which one of these culprits could have done the dirty deed? Now that pumpkinhead scarecrow has my vote, but the innkeeper with the bloody apron would make a wonderful cafeteria lady . . . and the mortician would be a great principal and the witches could be teachers . . . Now the pirates would be great yard supervisors . . . and having some monsters around would keep the kids in line . . . 
Ray O’Bannon has another set of these monsters I should include . . .
Just remember the click the image and you’ll find the PDF to print out.
I don’t know about this second set . . . A mad scientist might work out . . . a vampire and a skeleton ghost may be interesting . . . or the bride and groom . . . They were high school sweethearts . . .
I just like giving you a selection . . . Ray Keim and Ray O’Bannon are the go-to people when it comes to wanting some haunted places . . . and Ray O’Bannon has his monsters and other toys you may find interesting.
Thanks for stopping by!

Ray O’Bannon has been busy at RavensBlight creating new papercraft toys for his visitors.
One caught my eye . . . an eye catcher . . . Which is actually catching an eye on a strong . . . A fun hand-eye-coordination thing you may enjoy making for your family . . .
Click the image on the right to be taken to the PDF to print out. Click Here for the assembly instructions.
I do like the eye and may use it in other projects . . . Be sure to check out Ray’s other toys . . . He has a fun golf game that may get you right into the Halloween spirit . . .
To me it seems more like a variation to croquet, but Ray can name his game whatever he prefers. There are so great eyes again . . . Can you imagine terrifying your friends and family by bringing out this Cleaver Golf game?
These may be a great hit at your Halloween party. I think I may make up a bunch of those eyes and put them in a big bowl . . . I wonder about a friendly game of pool . . . or perhaps put little treats inside . . . A little jingle bell may be a nice touch . . . For the eye-catcher, too.
I believe Ray O’Bannon is a clever artist . . . His games and images go to the mysteries of the paranormal . . . His does give a colorful history of how this golf game was created . . . yet it does play a bit more like croquet with the hoops . . . and the cleavers . . . but I’m not going to argue with the creator of this game, I just delighted he has these free to print out and make.
Although I may be feeling a bit creeped out at the moment, I do hope these Ray O’Bannon games will find a place in your home in which to play . . . I did want to give you something fun to have for the official opening of this fall season.
Thanks for stopping by!

I love vintage stuff!!
I call it a nut cup because we’d have parties with little cups of nuts. But you can put candy in them.
You can even have a little mix of stuff to put into these cups.
I do like the vintage look of this Halloween Free Printable.
Click the image on the right to be taken to the PDF where you can download it and print it out. I added a couple more PDFs to go with this. I can’t seem to give you just one.
All you have to do is cut out the printable, fold the fence pieces so they show on the outside of the box, then glue the little tabs together and you’ll have an open box you can fill will nuts, candy or a special treat of some kind.
These are great for home parties and school parties.
Enjoy!

Why on earth would I be thinking of fall when it is August and HOT HOT HOT!
Yes, September is on the horizon.
It is so very comfortable in the house. Perfect for reading a good book with a friend.
It’s just when I go outside that I realize how hot it truly is. And it seems we’re quite a ways away from fall . . . but I love fall and it is always good to plan ahead.
Some areas have already started a new school year while others have a bit more summer vacation.
Whatever the season, it’s always good to appreciate what you have and doesn’t hurt to look ahead. I have enjoyed this summer. Even with the triple digit temperatures. Some crafters are still working on Christmas items, others have jumped into Halloween . . . and I’m caught a bit in between. I do want to look at nature and see what kind of cute boxes I can make to give to family and friends who stop by to visit.
I was looking at some fall clip art and got a little motivated to decorate some fry boxes. Then I realized that I like to make boxes that will be saved and cherished by others . . . Yes, I’m a dreamer.
Ray Keim of Haunted Dimensions has a PDF Entry Column box you can make and give to friends and family. I think this would be something they would hang on to . . . Why? Just look at the picture . . . does anything stand out?
Did you read the sign?
Everyone loves having a box that tells everyone to keep out.
Click the image and you’ll be taken to the PDF file. Make up quite a few of these. They are compliments of Ray Keim. He did add some moss to his finished column. You can do the same with some leaves or whatever else you think appropriate to add.
I think a few pumpkins would look nice on top or some miniature books, maybe a skeleton or a pirate’s hat . . . it may be nice to make several “tops” and decorate them for different seasons or holidays. Keeping, basically, with the seasonal weather. A bit of snow and snow flakes on top for winter, maybe some flowers for spring, some seashells for summer . . . or whatever strikes your fancy.
What I like about this box is that you can lift up the top, but no one will know the column is hollow, unless you make a half circle thump hole on the top or the side for easy opening of the “box lid” . . . I would not glue it down . . .
You can fill it with goodies . . . and the person you give this to may want to keep some goodies of their own inside or some treasure of their own. I think teens and the tweens in your household would love this Entry Column. It would look lovely on a desk or on a book shelf . . . even hidden away in a drawer . . . but I would like to display it throughout the year just for fun!
Enjoy!

I love paper crafts . . . especially boxes I can fill with interesting things.
This closure box seems suitable for many different occasions and different age groups.
You can decorate them however you like . . . using the designer paper of your choice . . . and, of course, filling them with whatever seems appropriate.
These coins remind me of Pirate Treasure . . .
This box can be used for anything . . . even a gift card . . . or an invitation to a family movie night . . . or a family board and card game night . . . or . . . making s’mores over a backyard fire pit and tell ghost stories . . .
These summer nights are always good to spend with family . . . You can also do some star gazing.
Click the picture on the right and you’ll be taken to a PDF template that you can download and then print out.
This is one of those boxes you can decorate for different holidays and special events throughout the year. They are easy to assemble.
Thanks for stopping by!

This Quorory Panda’s Eyes Follow You . . .
That seems really creepy!
They are cute and adorable. They’re Panda’s for goodness sake!
I love paper crafts . . . but lately I’m finding things that creep me out. There was Ray Keim’s “Halloween” house and now these pandas . . .
But, I had to share them with you . . . It may just be me . . .
I think they’re creepier than that Elf on a Shelf . . .
Just click on the image and you’ll be taken to the PDF of the Blue Panda to download and make.
Of course, you want them all!
Have fun with them . . . creep out your friends!
Let me know how many of these you made . . . and what you did with them. If you gave them away, what was the initial reaction . . . and what did they think after they had it for awhile?
This is something that can cause nightmare or that uneasy feeling . . . like you’re being watched!
Please leave me a comment below!
Thanks for stopping by!
