Happy Halloween!!!

 Hello & Happy Thursday!

Halloween is finally here!

As we took our daily walk last evening I noticed so many houses in our neighborhood that are decorated for Halloween. Actually there are many around Red Lion that are but especially in our neighborhood. I'm not sure what to expect tonight for Trick or Treat Night but it's going to be warmer than it has in the past so that will be nice! Kelsey and the girls she works with are dressing up as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at the restaurant. I hope she sends me a picture....I will share it here if she does!

Anyways, here is the last baby's 1st Halloween card for this year that Audrey requested.

Again, I pulled out my retired Harvest Hello's stamp set and some retired Witches Brew DSP and went to work with scraps!

Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black

I also wanted to share a Halloween fun fold card!

Playful Ghosts Snickers Bags

 Good Morning & Happy Fri-YAY!

Yesterday turned out to be a gorgeous day with lots of blue skies & sunshine!

It really helped to keep me motivated and on task.

Today I have a few things to get done including laundry and also preparing for my Stamp Day with Friends get together tomorrow morning! Tomorrow is World Card Making Day and every year I do try to get my friends over to make cards. This was a last minute decision for me as sometimes Saturday mornings are a bit rough after taking my Mounjaro injection the night before. Usually I am just tired & sleepy from it so fingers crossed I have no other side effects. Deb & Emily were so HAPPY when I said I was going to have it. It's been months since we stamped together. I got 4 cards prepared for us and i'm sure there is going to be lots of gabbing & laughing going on, too! 

Today I have a quick Halloween treat to show you. This one is made with the Playful Ghosts stamp set from the Online Exclusives list. On this simple treat I used the vampire ghost from the set. I used him on a tag and tied it to a Pretzel Stick cello bag that came from Walmart. Each cello bag has 2 of the Snickers Ghoulish Green Snack Bars in. I tied the tag on with ribbon and called them done.

Project Details:

Stamps: Playful Ghosts

Ink: Memento Black, Basic Black Archival (retired), Stampin Blends- Smoky Slate & Granny Apple Green

Cardstock: Granny Apple Green, Basic Black, Basic White

Accessories: Nested Essentials Dies, Oval Layering Framelits, Granny Apple Green Glittered Enamel Dots (retired), Hand Held Hole Punch (retired), Black & White Checkered Ribbon (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

These were so quick to put together other than the coloring on the vampire!

I'm trying to use up what's in my stash. Lots of cool idea's floating around in my head for treat idea's this holiday season so we'll see how much of it comes to be! LOL

Oreo Pumpkin Boxes

 Hello & Happy Thursday!

Today the sun is to shine!!! YAY!!

We haven't seen the sun for a week and a half so that will be nice!

Today I have a Halloween treat to share with you using the Halloween Oreo Cookie packs that I usually get at Sam's but did not see them this year. I found a box at Target. I know Audrey loves giving them to the kiddo's in her neighborhood that she knows so I do try to get them. Ryan usually eats what's left over. 

To create the boxes I used a die from last year's Halloween offerings called Tricks & Treats Dies. It is retired but I decided to use it anyways because it was a good size to hold the cookie packs. I just trimmed some of the height off before I glued it together. I added the Halloween Spells DSP and then my adorable happy pumpkin!

Card Details:

Stamps: Harvest Hello's (retired), Playful Ghosts (Sentiment-Online Exclusives)

Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black Archival (retired), Granny Apple Green, Soft Suede

Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie, Soft Suede, Granny Apple Green, Basic White

Accessories: Tricks & Treats Dies (retired), Apple Builder Punch, Stylish Shapes Dies, Black Twine, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Audrey loves that happy pumpkin and when she saw these boxes it made her smile!

I only made 6 and told her if she needed more to let me know. I have plenty of cookies!
