Halloween Decorations

I made these after seeing The Idea Room's post on Facebook on September 2, 2014.

I decided I liked them better on the island in my kitchen.

I added a few friends who have been with me for a few years!

Hope you have a great day! :)

Happy Halloween Card

Halloween is not my favorite holiday - in fact, it is my least favorite because of all the scary costumes. If Halloween was just for the children (those 6th grade and under), this momma would be very happy! I love the sweetness of Halloween and all the cute things - the scary things, not at all!

I made this card for my sweet grandbabies. Inside the card will be some money to go to their local ice cream shop to get a sweet treat with mom and dad! 

Hope you have a great day! :)

Decorative Wreaths

My daughter and I made wreaths together. These were made after my DIL sent pictures of a couple of wreaths she made.

This is for my daughter's bedroom door - made by my daughter.

This was made by me for our front door.

I painted the "BOO" with glow in the dark paint and it was not dry when I took the picture.

Hope you have a great day! :)

Sweet Kitty on Pumpkin

I made this sweet kitty on a pumpkin following this video.

After I took a picture of this, my pumpkin looked like an orange to me ... note to self: do not use the dotted embossing folder next time!

Hope you have a great day! :)

Spooky Treats

I made these for my daughter to give to her friends at church.

They are made with the Envelope Punch board from Stampin' Up!

To make these you need a 5" x 5" piece of DSP. Using the envelope punch board, score at 2" and punch with the punch button. Turn the piece of paper counter clockwise and score/punch at 3".  Turn and score/punch at 2". The last side you will score/punch at 3". Round the corners with the punch on the rear of the envelope punch board. 

With the short side at the top, fold up the piece at the bottom. Fold in on the sides and place snail adhesive to keep it closed. 

Inside is a snack size Kit-Kat. Decorate as you wish. I used the Ghostly Ghouls stamp set and punched the circle with the 2 1/2" circle punch.  I used a regular hole punch on either side of the circle and threaded the ribbon and tied the ribbon in the back.

To open and close the treat sack, you just slide the mummy up and down! 

Have a great day! ツ

Neat idea for Halloween

Blog hopping again when I came across the "germ slayer" idea. 

These are simple to make and what cute gifts to give.

Here is a picture of a few I made along with Mr. Scarecrow and his baskets of sweet treats. 

Mr. Scarecrow's treats are a sweet surprise for my family! :)

Trick or Treat Gift Boxes

When fall comes around, my family begins to think of pumpkins and Halloween.  While sitting in the craft room while waiting for something inspirational to "hit" me, I began thinking of an upcoming trip to see some friends and I thought maybe I could make something for a few of them.

This is what I came up with ... Trick or Treat gift boxes!

I used the supplies I had on hand to make these cute boxes.  The pumpkins and "Trick or Treat" words were cut with my Cricut from the Create a Friend cartridge. I glued everything together with Tacky Glue so they would be guaranteed to stay together!

The box pattern came from Sam Donald. I used her instructions for making the boxes and cutting the patterned paper to fit the top and sides of the box.

I hope you like them!
