Quick Treat Bag

Today I was playing with the different Halloween figures on the Paper Doll Dress Up Cart. I just love the little monster on there and the two little ghosts. They are so cute! I have some little treat bags left over from last year so I thought I would dress one up with a little monster;-)

Supplies Used:

Stamps: PKS Pumpkin Face Parts, Stampin UP! Teeny Tiny Wishes

Paper: Stampin UP! Basic Black. The green is a retired SU Color, not sure which one

Ink: Stampin UP! Basic Black

Die: Sizzix Stampin UP! Top Note

Wood Letters

For my daughter's 3rd birthday my good friend Nancy made a beautiful wood "A" letter for her. I thought it was such a cool, fun idea that I decided to try out a few for myself. They are a really fun gift idea and I love giving away handmade gifts so this is perfect for me! They are not too hard and not too time consuming and you can totally make them with the child in mind. Here is one I made for Carter to hang outside his door.


He is such a boy and loves all things that "roll" including trains so I thought this would be perfect for him now. The best part is that since it's just paper, I can always change it later to fit his appropriate age.
Here's another one I made last year to hang on the door for Halloween.
Aren't these so fun? Email me if you would like directions on how to make for yourself.

A Halloween Hi!

Here is the quick card I made this morning using some of the leftover pumpkins I had from yesterday's attempt on the October calendar page. I am loving making Halloween projects this year!

October Calendar Page

This month I decided to make my October calendar page similar to what I did last month with the apple only substitute a pumpkin. I had many different variations and finally settled on this one. I designed most of it using my gypsy, however the Vampire font was from a cartridge that I borrowed and had to cut out the old fashioned way. I forgot how hard it is to cut out font without your gypsy, LOL! Trying to figure out where the correct key was on the keypad was hard! I made it through and ended up loving the title. I had a bunch of little pumpkins cut out with cute little faces but they just overcrowded the page so I left them out. Now I need to make something using them as they are just too cute!

Supplies Used:

Paper: Stampin UP! Basic Black, Chocolate Chip, Pumpkin Pie, and Crumb Cake. (the yellow was from my scrap basket

Ink: Stampin UP! Pumpkin Pie and Chocolate chip on the outside of the pumpkin and stem

You're a Hoot!

Today I was in a creative mood and hopefully I can get a lot scrapbooking done tonight. I am so excited to do it when the kids go to bed. Right now Carter is napping and Ava is playing so I snuck in a card for the My Pink Stamper challenge and also to submit it for the Thowback Thursday challenge as well. I am really into my new owl punch and thought I would use this as it's a "bird" challenge over at MPS. I thought it came out kinda cute with my two little owl's checkin' out their goofy friend. We all have one of those right??
