Boo! Eeek! Trick or Treat!

Hi Everyone!
Enjoying the last day of your weekend? I am taking it easy, we had an early morning soccer game and I'm getting ready to make some pumpkin bread YUM!!!
I wanted to share my little treats that I made for Halloween! I LOVE Halloween!

I started with a cute little tote box from HERE boy does she have some great tutorials.

Each treat box I used the MCT - scallop die

I just LOVE that spider - it's so tiny I can't believe it cut :)

I just love all those googly eyes :) 

I added a tiny little web for that spider.

Halloween Pencil Holders

Hi Everyone!

I know Halloween is over but I never shared the treats I made for my sons class. Our teacher was really enforcing the district healthy snack program and with all the food allergies I thought pencils were the easiest way to go! 

I hope everyone is well and having a GREAT Friday! 

 This set was for the Girls!

And this set was for the boys!

The holders measure approx 8" I found the tutorial HERE. 

Paper - Recollections

The die cuts are from a Cuttlebug die I've had for years

Ribbon - Micheals

Treat Holder for Halloween

Hi Everyone!
Guess what? We actually had a little rain yesterday, and last night I felt crisp cool air YEAH!!! It's here, Fall has arrived but I think it's only here for a few days because Monday it's going to be back in the 80's. 
I am sharing a spooky little treat holder that we (my eight year old & I) made completely designed by him.  He picked the cut, the paper, and even glued on the webs. If you caught my other posts - he really wants a "Spooky" Halloween and nothing CUTE :( 
He is invited to a costume party and we thought it would be fun to bring some treats. He likes it but thinks the button and twine make it look cute - of course! 

Hope you ALL have a wonderful weekend!

The spooky fence is from the Cricut Cartridge Happy Haunting. The paper is GCD Studios. The die cut (MCT) is supposed to resemble a moon.

This holder will fit three candies but as you can see we ate two before we took the side photo - HAHA Ooops.

Graduation Card - Oh Happy Day

Hi Everyone!
Hope you all had a GREAT day! I wanted to share a graduation card I made for my cousin. I  LOVE using the "Oh Happy day" for grad cards, because it sure is one. I started with the Oh Happy Day frame and layered it on top of a scallop circle and then using my gypsy I cut a circle from the middle of the scallop to make another frame. The center image of the girl is from Beyond Birthdays  - I know, I know, it's an oldie!!! Added a some brads, grad cap and diploma in hand and voila one Grad Card for the new Doctor in the family :) 

Oh Happy Day Frame is cut from Wild Card Cartridge (I should have added some white gel pen to the letters :( oh well next time.

You make school COOL!

Hi Everyone!
Hope you are enjoying your day so far!
I am working on projects for Teacher appreciation day. I have always given my boys teachers small gifts to show our appreciation for ALL their hard work. My youngest son says that his 2nd grade teacher makes school cool.  If you ask him about any subject  - "Do you like Science" his response, it's cool, he says his teacher makes it COOL! I think that's awesome, she is a GREAT teacher!
So the first item I'm sharing is a card for a couple of my favorite challenges:
My Craft Spot - Make it POP Use dimensionals
Peachy Keen Stamps - Anything Goes MUST use PKS

I think this little worm is my FAVORITE cut! I just love the PK face on him!

I layered him and popped him up HIGH :)

Sweet Valentine

Hi Everyone!
I'm a little excited to share this with you, it's one of my favorite things to do.  I don't ever really say how much I use my gypsy to create but I use it with EVERY project. I always try to create and re-create boxes, bags, and anything else my little head can think of :)
So here is a lollipop holder - I know there are plenty of these out there but I decided to create this with a hole in the center and a slit tab bottom. It's just a little more sturdy to hold up in a back pack full of goodies;)  

Here is what it looks like cut and scored.

Here it is folded (Before)

Here it is folded (After)

The stamp is from My Creative Time along with the tag.

Hi Everyone!

Wow, Is time going by at lighting speed or what? I can't believe an entire month has almost gone by. Well one good thing about that is it's bringing us closer to spring :) 

I wanted to share a masculine card I made for all those GREAT challenges going on right now. Pretty simple except do you see the gold accents on the wheel? Well I probably should have used brads, but no... I took gold metallic paper and hole punched eight holes and covered them with glossy accents. Sounds easy right?? Well I kept forgetting about them and setting paper, or items down on top of these little hole punches. I think I ended up having to make 19 of them.  I had these sticky, gluey, glossy hole punches everywhere. I even left for basketball pictures this morning and when I got back in the car one was on my car seat? (Wonder where that hole punch was)? The funny stories of crafting that only other crafters would appreciate! Have a GREAT day!
