TPV57 and SSS: Halloween card

Sharing another Halloween card.

Used K and Company's Spooktacular collection for the papers and border strips.

Stamped "BOO" in the background with Spiced Marmalade Distress ink

using Lawn Fawn's "Heebie Jeebies"

I used 3 different border strips from the pack and

raised the trick-or treater strip with dimensional foam.

  I am entering this card in The Paper Variety's No Tricks, Just Treats challenge #57
and Simon Says Stamp: Anything Goes!

My boys are so excited for Halloween. 
The fun-0-meter has been on max the last week! 
We've been to a Halloween party and trunk-or-treat at our church.
We have parties coming up at school and trick or treat night in the
neighborhood is quickly approaching. 

We'll also be attending a friend's 5th birthday party this week.

I am sharing the card I made for him.

Hard to see, but there's Glossy Accents on all the gray paper pieces:

Kitty Cupcakes... MEOW...

Made some cupcakes for the kids in our Bible study group. 
Thought they looked fun.


Not too hard...

I used:
cupcakes
chocolate icing
eyeball candies
chocolate bars cut into small triangles for ears
pull and peel licorice for whiskers
ready-made icing for nose and mouth


Heard that a lot of kitties mysteriously lost their ears BEFORE snack time... hmmmmm

They were inspired by Bakerella's website. 
Here's Bakerella's  version.  The kitty is also in the middle of this photo:

You may also enjoy my green monster cupcakes from last April shown HERE.

What yummy fall/Halloween treats have you made or plan to make?

Have a great day!

CCC79, PV and CC164: Fall Treat bags

Hi.

Sharing some treat bags I am making for my 3 year olds at church.

I found the poem on the Internet and changed a few words for their age level.

I'll write their name on that line beside the pumpkin.

so it will read "May God's light shine in _____".

The pumpkin was stamped in orange and brown and pieced together.  I used the tree leaf in the set to make a leaf for the pumpkin... little creative license, ha ha

Hi there.

Another Halloween card to share.

This one features 2 Lawn Fawn sets and 2 Hero Arts sets.

Lots of images paper pieced to create a not-so-spooky scene.

The sentiment is cut from a border strip from the K and Co. paper line.

The background is HA "Magical Background".

Bats raised with dimensional foam (my obsession) and I added glitter to the moon.
The moon was made with a 1" circle punch.

Five of the bats were cut out of the remaining patterned paper and raised

Happy Card Day!

I am not able to make any cards today, but I did help my son decorate an old plastic fireman's hat for his Crazy Hat Day coming up on Monday at school. 

The design was totally his!

My little Sony Cybershot died last week. 

I went shopping and came home with a Sony a55 DSLR and I am LOVING it. 

I am finally able to capture some sports moments. 

I practiced on the dog for several days. 

She got a new haircut last week.  We had never shaved her before.

I laughed for two days every time I looked at her, but I am getting used to it now. 

The groomer had to go shorter than planned to even her out b/c she was matted.

SO much less hair in the house!!

Before:

After shot with new camera: 

Hope you are gettin' crafty today!

Now that my new camera is up and running, I'll have lots of Halloween cards to share soon!
