Halloween Treat holders

So now that all the little beggars (LOL) have gotten their candy, the porch light is out and the candy dish empty I will get to post the treat holders I made, with help from my daughter for the grandkids and one little neighbor girl.

Pillow box from Easter 2010, white cardstock and I stamped the images all over the paper before I cut. I don't know the size, I used my Gypsy and was able to get 4 to a 12x12 mat

This little orange guys are actually two tags glued together on the bottom, candy in the middle and tied with a ribbon

I saw these on facebook.  Someone had posted their first video tutorial, sorry can't remember who right now.  So I tried it and  it was so easy I decided to make them.

In total I had to make 132 treat holders.  I had a few left over so I took them to work for the ladies in my office.

Thanks for stopping by and happy scrappin!

Halloween Blog Hop

HAPPY HALLOWEEN !!!

You are at stop 7 on this 20 spot blog hop!  You should have flown over from Gina's blog.  Welcome and I hope you are enjoying yourself so far!  I love Halloween and can hardly wait for it to get here (really the only reason for SUMMER to end for me).  I love seeing all the neighborhood kids dressed up and running up and down the street.  I play scary music and decorate the yard. (That's a big deal for me as I only decorate outside twice, for Halloween and Christmas.  It's cold  here in Illinois LOL)

 For my contribution to Ashley's Halloween Hop I have made a cute photo frame.

  I picked up this frame, and two others, at Michael's, for $3.  Yep, 2 for 3! First I painted the frame white.  They come natural wood and although I like the color of wood I was afraid the paper wouldn't adhere to it.  I then covered it in paper from K & company Specialty Paper pack.  I've had this paper for quite awhile so I don't even know if it's still available.  Using the same paper I cut the scarecrow out and blinged him up a bit with stickles and raffia and pop dotted him and the little crow to the outside of the frame.   I can't want for my grandkids to dress up this halloween so I can put their photo in there!  




For my second project I made a Halloween card. But to be honest I am in an Action Wobbles blog hop tomorrow so I made this card for that hop and then remembered there were color limitations, so I figured I would post it here because it fits the theme!! And maybe that will peak your interest and you will stop tomorrow to see both of those projects made with action wobbles!!!

All images cut from the Happy Hauntings cart and they all wobble like they are dancing.  The inside of the card reads
"Party like you're Monster Mashed!"  Isn't that cute??!!

Don't forget Ashley is giving away a $50 gift card to one lucky winner who comments and follows each blog in this hop!!!

Halloween Project

Haven't posted in awhile because I haven't entered any challenges. I've been working on some projects I needed to get finished.  This one is for the grandkids to pass out in school for their Halloween parties, and with four grandkids in school it took 144 candy bars to get this one finished!  I used candy bars within the same size, hersheys, Nestle crunch and Nestle cookies n creme.  I cut each wrapper at 6x6 and used a 1/2" scallop punch to cut the "bite" mark on top.  Most of the halloween figures are from happy hauntings, but I also found some easy cuts on Paperdoll Dress up, Doodlecharms and Stretch Your Imagination.  I think I have a pic of each of the different designs.  Thanks for looking...

Cricut Card Challenge #42

This is my entry for the Cricut Card Challenge #42.

The challenge was to make a Halloween card using the card feature from any cartridge.

I used the card feature from Stretch Your Imagination to make the base in orange.

All the trick-or-treaters were cut from Paperdoll Dress-up. "Happy Halloween" stamp is from the $1 bin at Michael's.

Thanks for looking

Peachy Keen Challenge #36 & Cardztv challenge - Halloween

This is my card entry for two different challenges and it was a challenge!

First, the Peachy Keen challenge was color combo & sketch.  The colors needed to be cobalt, melon and daffodil, along with a specific sketch to follow. Then I decided to also do Mary's challenge over at CardzTV, which was anything halloween.  So I came up with this trick or treating mouse. I think because the daffodil was so light I didn't like how plain it looked so Gloria suggested I emboss something to give it texture and she was right, it did add something.  Thanks Gloria!

Cricut Card Challenge #40

This is my card for the Cricut card Challenge #40, using a scalloped image, circle,square etc,

This is a joy fold card (learned from Mary @ cardztv)

I used the happy hauntings cartridge...

I reversed my scallop and used 1/2 circle scallop as "bite marks" on the corners

The little ghost is on an eyelet and he swings back and forth to keep the card closed

Thanks for looking and I hope you like it!
