Trick or Treat

Are you getting for Halloween?  We bought 5 pumpkins this weekend but have no plans to carve them right now.  We'll see what happens as it gets closer.  I have been 'coloring' pumpkins though!  This one in particular:

This is a Stamping Bella image colored with my prismas.  I smudged the ghost's eye...so I had to restamp and pop him up a layer.

This card is for three challenges:
The Sweet Stop Sketch#181
Dynamic Duo's #25 and
Stamping Bella's 10/26/12 challenge - of 3 papers and 3 embellishments

  

Hope you're having a good week so far!  Today my neighborhood friend's are coming over to craft up some pumpkins!  Should be fun!  Hopefully I'll post those pictures tomorrow!

Thanks for your visit!

Ghouls just wanna have fun

Talk about using up your old stuff!  I used more of the glitter I've had for quite a number of years PLUS these  Ranger "Pop It Shapes" I bought years ago at a $1.00 store!

I laid the diamond shape 'Pop Its" along the bottom of the inside of the card (after messing up the front of the card and cutting it off!!).  Then I peeled the protective layer off and pressed the glitter onto the Pop It.

I used an MFT sentiment and added ribbon and button.  Not sure who's getting this card because I don't send Halloween cards, but I was happy to use some of these Pop Its!

Cindy and I are off to Maryland this morning on a doggy rescue mission.  We were supposed to go yesterday but put it off due to big storms.  It will be a long day of driving down and back, but we're the crazy dog ladies - so it comes with the territory I guess!

I'll 'hopefully' make my blog rounds on Thursday!

Halloween Treat Containers

A few weeks ago I was at my mom's house and she had a Crystal Lite container in her recycle bin.  I thought, "hmmm, I could probably do something with that" - so I took it!  Then she saved me a few more and this past week I finally decided to 'do' something with them.

Yup - I made some mummies to put Halloween candy in!  We really don't get kids except for my neighbors so for the past few years, I've made them special things for Halloween.  This project was very easy!

I actually took computer paper and ripped it into strips, then inked the edges.  Once I had a whole bunch, I started gluing them to the container.  I took some toothpicks and threaded the banner through them and added the ribbon and google eyes.  Since I only had small google eyes - I decided to give the mummies some eyelashes too!

Hope you like them!

CAS Halloween cards!

Just poppin' in quickly this Sunday to show to easy-peasy Halloween cards I made using some OLD STASH of glitter!

I took my wide red-line tape and laid it down on the card.  Peeled off the covering and sprinkled on the glitter. Then I pressed the glitter down with a bone folder and just for a 'bit' more - I turned my heat gun on it really quickly so it all melted together a bit.  I used a combination of Studio G and PTI stamps for the sentiment. EASY!


And......I wanted to wish my Dad a HAPPY BIRTHDAY today!!!!!!!!!!  Yahh!!!!!!

See you tomorrow for some Halloween treat canisters :)

C4C#60 - Halloween Bags

The Crazy for Challenges #60 is to make a Halloween card or project.  I had started working on these treat bags on Friday night, so when I received their challenge email - I was so happy!

I was given over 500 of these black bags and I knew they'd be perfect for a Halloween project.  And, after being inspired by Michelle Wooderson's bags, I just HAD to make them for my nieces, nephew and two neighbors. Oh yeah, and one more for Lisa, who gave me all the black bags!!!

So, I made two of each of these:

The paper is from T's last year and all the stamps are Studio G. I love having these quick and easy stamps for projects like these. I added googly eyes too for a little fun!!!

Thanks again for your visit to the blog!!
