Happy Halloween!

 Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Happy Halloween, my friends!

Today I have a cute treat box to share with you that I made using the Tricks & Treats Dies. I like that the set of dies has this particular die in it to make a box! Once I had my boxes diecut, I glued them together and then decorated it with some Them Bones DSP. Take a look...

I found the individually wrapped Halloween Oreo cookies at Sam's Club back at the end of August. I know that Audrey loves giving these cookie out to the kids she knows! I also kept my packaging in the same colors to match the cookie wrapper.

Project Details:

Stamps: Tricks & Treats, Sentiment from Spooky Fun (retired)

Ink: Orchid Oasis, Basic Black Archival (retired)

Cardstock: Orchid Oasis, Basic White, Them Bones DSP

Accessories: Tricks & Treats Dies, Classic Label Punch (retired), Nested Essentials Dies, Glow in the Dark Bats & Ghosts, Hand Held Hole Punch, Black & White Gingham Ribbon, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I have sold 9 of these cookie totes! The last one I gave to Kelsey's manager at work for Halloween. She's been very helpful to Kelsey recently and she just loved the cookies!

And I was recently at Sam's Club and they now have the Christmas Oreo Cookies in the individual wrappers! Of course, I had to grab a box to decorate for Christmas!

Last evening we did not go to the parade as it was raining & got very windy but hopefully tonight we will be able to sit out to hand candy out to the trick or treaters!

Russell Stover Halloween Boxes

 Good Morning & Happy Saturday!

Looking like a beautiful day ahead here in PA! So far this morning we've had some brilliant sunshine and warm temps. Going to get to 80 later today!

 

Yesterday I did some stamping then Kelsey & Mr Shady did a surprise visit! I never even got my laundry started. Not sure today that I will have any luck but I can do it tomorrow while football is on. This evening we are headed to Harrisburg to a concert at a music venue. Shawn has been wanting to go see Paul Cauthen so Kelsey & I are going along. I hope we aren't out too late tonight.

This past Thursday Marisa at Kitchen Table Stamper usually does a Craft With Me LIVE on Facebook. The day before she posts about what we need to make the project with her. I missed the LIVE but I did play along when I had some free time. Here is the directions of what we needed if your interested in making this.

I said that I think Marisa had ESP because I had 4 of the Russell Stover Marshmallow treats in my cupboard to use for Halloween. And these are what I made...

These were so quick & easy to whip up! I will most likely use these again for Christmas. I love the Russell Stover Marshmallow treats. The also have very good sugar free treats, too!

Since I used a variety of Stampin Up! products on these I did not list them.

If you need to know anything please leave me a comment and i'll answer it for you.

Thanks Marisa for always inspiring and encouraging us to use our supplies!

BOO to You

 Hello & Happy Thursday!

Phew, the last few days it got a bit toasty around here! And wouldn't you know...we took our AC's out last weekend. LOL I guess this is what you call our Indian Summer weather.

So, yesterday Shawn had his appointment with the Orthopedic doctor.

He went over the MRI inch by inch and everything looked good...his knee cap, the cartilage and the ACL ligament.

He has a sprained MCL and is to wear his knee brace when up and moving to keep the knee in line. They prescribed him Prednisone to help with his pain. He cannot take anything with NSAIDS because of his Diverticulitis. Prednisone is good for the pain but it will keep you awake and happily eating! It could take a long while for this ligament to heal up so he is going to have to keep it iced when he's relaxing and keep that brace on during daytime hours. He will return in 6 weeks. I'm thankful it wasn't anything that required surgery or physical therapy! He is just gonna have to realize he's not 20 anymore and his body is going to take longer to heal. 

Today I have a set of Halloween cards that I think rank up there with a few other sets! I love the colors on this card and the cool part of this is my ghost and the bats on the black trees glow in the dark! And yes, I forgot to take a picture of them glowing!!! 

Card Details:

Stamps: Bag of Bones, Tricks & Treats

Ink: Orchid Oasis, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry, Basic Black Archival (retired)

Cardstock: Orchid Oasis, Basic White, Basic Black, Glow In The Dark Paper

Accessories: Tricks & Treats Dies, Aspen Tree Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits (retired),  Glow In The Dark Bats & Ghosts, Blending Brushes, Orchid Oasis Metallic Ribbon, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The panel under my trees I used my Blending Brushes on to make it look like a sunset. Such a neat & fun technique to do! I remember our sunsets in Joplin, MO being this vibrant and pretty! Then add in the Glow In The Dark diecut ghost and this card is a winner in my book!

A Halloween Beware

 Hello & Happy Fri-YAY!

A rainy morning here in PA once again. It's definitely feeling like Fall outside. I had a sweater on all week trying to stay warm. Even turned the heat on yesterday morning to take the chill off. It was 48 degrees. Today it's not so cool.

I have another set of Halloween cards to share today. This set uses a mix of new & old which I love to do!

The haunted house is new and it's from the Tricks & Treats bundle that is currently available. The BEWARE is punched from the retired Large Oval Punch and comes from the retired Halloween Bash stamp set. And look at the cardbase....I used a current background stamp on it called Sketched Plaid. 

Card Details:

Stamps: Tricks & Treats, Halloween Bash (retired-2013), Sketched Plaid Background

Ink: Tangelo Twist (retired), Versamark, Basic Black Archival (retired)

Cardstock: Tangelo Twist (retired), Very Vanilla, Happy Haunting DSP (retired 2015)

Accessories: Radiating Stitched Dies, Large Oval Punch (retired), Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I have another week's worth of Halloween card sets then I will be sharing a few cards that I made recently for Audrey. I am currently working on a few candy treats for her as well so I hope you will continue to visit!
