Halloween Notebooks

Hello & Happy Wednesday!

It's looking like a fabulous day weather wise here in PA.

Yesterday we had some frost on the grass in the morning and I actually turned my heat on enough to take the chill off. There was definitely a coolness in the air and the leaves are really starting to fall!

Today I have the last of the covered composition notebooks to share with you!

These make a cute little gift instead of giving sugary treats and so fast to whip up!

As soon as my customer saw these she went crazy over them!

Even Kelsey has dibs on one IF it does not sell. LOL

Motley Monsters are Back!

Hello & Happy Sunday!

Hope your all having a nice weekend!

Yesterday we went and checked out the Ghost Train ride that takes place on the York County Heritage Rail Trail. It's a train ride only on Saturday evenings during the month of October that tells ghost stories while taking the train ride. We are pretty intrigued with it and decided we are going to get tickets to go! It's family oriented so there is nothing scary about it but most everyone knows how much we love the Rail Trail for our walks & bike rides so i'm sure we are going to love this! They also have a Pumpkin Ride for the kids which is pretty cool, too! I will let you know when we go. I'm waiting on Shawn to decide which Saturday!

So today I have a cute card to share that was created for my customer who loves those Motley Monsters DSP! She called me the other day in need of a card for a young lady who was turning 18 and wanted that paper. I looked high & low and found a small piece. This is what I made with it.

I may have to go on Ebay to find more of this paper next year!

Happy Birthday Card:

Stamps: All Year Cheer

Ink: Basic Black Archival

Cardstock: Basic Black, Tangerine Tango, Whisper White, Motley Monsters DSP

Accessories: Stitched Shapes Framelits,  Square Layering Framelits, Tangerine Tango Ribbon, Glue Dots, Tangerine Tango Enamel Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Audrey was thrilled with this and was going to put it in the mail asap!

She loves her cards and i'm always happy to create them for her!

****************************************************

My thoughts today....

Yes it is! 

Last evening was the Pumpkin Walk on the Rail Trail. 

Shawn & I attended it last year but passed on it this year.

Hopefully we will be able to go on the Ghost Train soon!

That's all for today!

Headed out for a bike ride today as long as the rain stays away!

Thanks for stopping by & have a wonderful day!

Popcorn Boxes for Halloween

Hello & Happy Saturday!

After a day of running around yesterday, today we have nothing on our agenda!

Shawn's doctor appointment went well. He is having another test done to figure out why he has some inflammation in his small bowel that showed up on his colonoscopy. Doctor thinks it got that way from the clean out procedure he had to do. He had one polyp removed that they say was the fast growing type but no cancer were found and for that I am so thankful! 

It's still a dreary morning here but the weather people are saying it is to clear out later today but I am a little optimistic on that! Guess we will see.

Today I want to share with you one of the treats we made at my stamp get together with my friends. We made a slew of Halloween things but this one was my absolute favorite!

Kelsey was in Ocean City, Maryland a few weeks prior to my Halloween get together and I had her pick me up a bucket of Fisher's Caramel Popcorn from the boardwalk and we used that in a 3 X 6 Cello Bag to put inside the popcorn boxes. Something different than chocolate and of course we all loved munching on the popcorn after we filled our bags!

Halloween Popcorn Boxes:

Stamps: Trick or Treat (retired)

Ink: Pumpkin Pie

Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, Whisper White, Spooky Night DSP

Accessories: Popcorn Box Thinlits, Circles & Starburst Punches, Rhinestones, Pumpkin Pie 1/8 Taffeta Ribbon, Halloween Night Bakers Twine, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

After having much success with these for Halloween, I am thinking of doing these up for Christmas with several different things in the cello bags. I can already see these decorated for the holidays!

Can't wait!

I made a pot of sausage potato soup for supper and then spent most of my day at my stamp table.

It was a very productive day, too! I worked on some Christmas stuff!!!

Hello & Happy Wednesday!

They are calling for rain here today & tomorrow and the muggy's are here to stay for a few more days! I am still running my AC which is a bit crazy for this time of year! Shawn swears we are going to go from summer weather straight into winter. I surely hope not!

Yesterday I sat and made a card to send my older brother & his wife. 

They sent me a very funny birthday card last month with an Amazon gift card and I have been wanting to sit and make them a special card. Once again I pulled out the Painted Harvest stamp set just so I could use it with different color inks!

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

It's really nice to see the sun shining brightly this morning after a day of rain.

I woke this morning to news of a woman that passed away that I knew. I'm not sure how I knew her but none the less I am very sad about her passing. She had been fighting cancer for quite a few years and had just one heck of a time. I'm sad but I know her pain & suffering is no longer. Sending my thoughts & prayers to her family today....

Anyways, today I have a super quick & easy card to share. It's the last card that we made at our stamp get together last Saturday for World Card Making Day!

Little Halloween Treat Pouches

Hello & Happy Thursday!

This week is zipping right on by!

I have alot on my agenda today as I am preparing for another stamp day with my friends on Saturday!

Before I get started on my project today, I wanted to thank you for the thoughts & good wishes for Shawn. His colonoscopy went well yesterday! He will return to see his gastro doctor next Friday and I will have more info for you then. He was home around 2 pm, ate some lunch then we both headed for a little nap. It wasn't such a little nap as we both woke up around 6pm! Sitting around for that kind of stuff just wears a person out but of course, he had some good sleepy meds in him from his procedure! I am thankful it went off without any issues! 

Anyways, my treat today for Halloween is one I seen on several blogs last year. 

It is made with the Stampin Up Popcorn Box Thinlits.

These holders will not hold too much. I noticed that some of my sides were coming apart with just this little Hershey Bar inside them. They would be perfect for Pixie Sticks! I would suggest a VERY strong adhesive on these. I used various retired SU DSP's on these and used last years Halloween Cookie Cutter stamp set for my Skeleton & Mummy's. Quick & Easy images that needed no coloring! On each though I added a punched out bowtie using retired Glimmer Papers. I made ALOT of these and already sold some! 

They are great for just a little treat for those special Trick or Treater's!

Halloween Treat Pouches:

Stamps: Teeny Tiny Wishes (sentiment), Halloween Cookie Cutter (retired)

Ink: Basic Black Archival

Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, Whisper White, Motley Monsters DSP, Halloween Night DSP, Pumpkin Pie & Basic Black Glimmer Papers

Accessories: Cookie Cutter Builder Punch, Popcorn Box Thinlits, Classic Label Punch, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Hope you like these!

My thoughts today....

I couldn't agree more!

That is all I have for now!
