"Spooky"

Halloween is coming and although I don't really get into it as far as dressing up or even decorating I do have to say card making and scrapbooking Halloween is a lot of fun. I made the scallop shaped card on my gypsy using a gift tag from  Christmas Cheer. I hid some parts, welded other parts and this is what I came up with.  (I LOVE my Gypsy.)  The Skelleton head is from Indie Art and the Spooky stamp is a $1 bin stamp stamped with white ink.

For the inside I just added some orange paper and stamped Happy Halloween. 

Hope you liked and arn't totally shocked to have gotten 2 post from me in a row...lol. I'm working on working smarter and not harder. Hope to see ya again tomorrow, thanks for stopping by.

The Perfect "Pair".

Hi everyone! Wow it's been awhile, I know.   I have been completly sucked into Pinterest.  Have you ever checked out this site? Well if you haven't I'm warning you now, It's HIGHLY addicting.  I'm trying to balance all this stuff and it's really hard. Well if you need a invite click on the Pinterest link to the right.

Well back to the real reason Im here, to share my recent card.  I bought this Pear sentiment stamp a while back in the clearance rack for $.5o.  It is by Studio G.  I made this card using the Imagine More Cards Cartridge.  I then mounted it on a Scallop square card.  I added some ribbon an here ya go!

Here it is! Hope you liked it.

Sketchy Saturday Challenge

Hi everyone! Can you believe it's all ready October?  I cannot even believe how fast time seems to be flying by. So fast in fact I didn't realize it was Sketchy Saturday Design Team time again over at the Scrapoholic.  I was about to go to bed at 11:55 PM when it dawned on me that I had a sketch and blog post due for the morning. So because it was so late I decided this week to go with the card sketch.  Although I absolutely love this weeks Layout sketch. I knew I could whip up the card super fast. .

Now if you are new here, Sketchy Saturday is when Jill over at the Scrapoholic gives the Design Team a Sketch and we recreate it.  Then you can participate in the fun for a chance to win some fun prizes.  So to see what the other Design Team has created head on over to The Scrapoholic's Blog and check it out. Don't forget when you are done with your version of the Sketch to link it so we can all see all the fabulous interpretations.

Here is the Card Sketch......

Now Since I was in a complete hurry I literally used the paper and pieces that were left on my scrap table from the previous projects I had been making.

I went with a Halloween theme.

Thanks for looking and don't forget we'd love to have you play along.

Trick or Treat Blog Hop

Hi and Welcome to the Trick or Treat Blog Hop! I'm so Excited!!  I just  love treats and holders and what better time then Halloween.  There are 10 stops on this hop. If you just stopped by here and would like to start from the top then jump on over to Angie's blog Here.  If you just came from Angie's blog then you are in the right place.

The idea of this hop is to create a fun, quick and simple treat holder or card.  A while back I had seen this pencil holder tutorial on Youtube. It was for pencils and she had a Valentines Day theme so I changed it up a little. You can find this tutorial Here. It is from www.Kerryspapercrafts.com, Thank you Kerry.

I had made these with the intentions of buying suckers of some sort and I was at Sam's Club one day and saw these and I thought they would be the perfect treat for these holders. The box of 24 was $8 and some change.

I used papers from this paper pack. I love this paper. It's really cool Halloween print on a great quality paper and it's 2 sided.

Here is the base of the treat which measures 2"x11".  Then scored at 6 1/2" and 6 7/8"

             You then cut 3 pieces of printed paper at 2 at 1 3/4 x 6 1/8 and then 1 at 1 3/4 x 3 7/8.

I rounded the edges using my corner chomper at 1/2".

Then using the ATG I attached one piece to the inside of the treat base.

Then I attached the other 2 pieces to the outside of the Treat base.

 Once the Treat is folded up this is what it will or should look like.

Then I took a 1" circle punch and punched a hole in the front.

 I then stuck the candy stick into the hole.

Next you want to take some ribbon and tie it around. This helps to keep your treat closed and secured.

 Now for the tag. I used this Fiscar punch and just punch coordinating Halloween paper.  The little sentiment I found online. I went back to try and find it for reference and couldn't find it anywhere. I will keep looking but it was a online free printable. I cut them out and attached to the treat.

This is your finished Halloween treat.  You can do so much with these for all the different seasons.

Thanks for stopping by our Trick or Treat blog hop today.  Your next stop is Crystal at the Rustic Daisy.
