Halloween Boxy Bags

Thank you for stopping by today. I have been busy working hard on my secret stamping sister gift this week. Since I can't show it to you at this time, I can show you what I did last year. I found a cute little template called "boxy bags" and decorated them as a few of my favorite Halloween characters. I found inspiration for the faces of the characters in various places around the blogosphere. I have a cello bag filled with M&M's in each one.

Sorry some of the pictures are a little blurry.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a great day.

Spooky

Shame on me for it being so long in between posts. You see the "Crazy Stamping Ladies" annual "Stamp Til You Cramp" event keeps a person quit busy. It is over now... Whew. Look for our blog hop to see what we did.... its coming soon.

I LOVE Halloween and I am so bummed that I haven't had a lot of time to create as much as I would have liked so far. I do have a few things to show, like this card that I did for the "Crazy Stamping Ladies" downline meeting. It is one of those cards that I totally went over board on... have you ever done that? What do you do with those cards? Why not put them into a frame, then you can enjoy them year after year.

Here is a close up of all the goodies.

Here is the card in the 8x8 frame.

Thanks for stopping by today. Hopefully it won't be too long in between posts.

Wednesdays Card Reveal

Well Friday has come and gone and my card reveal was not posted... what can I say, sometimes family life is just too darn busy...not to mention I was sick and I pasted it along to my husband. Aren't sick husbands funny, they lay around and every once in a while they let out a sympathetic sigh and become big over sized babies. I swear there should be a sick husbands hospital that you can check their sorry butts into and they don't come out until they are 100% better. LOL

Anyways enough of that, lets get back to the cards. This first one I got the idea from a fellow CSL's secret sister gift, you can view it here, I just thought it was so pretty. Enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by today and have a FABULOUS day!

Teacher's Love for Pistachios

It was my daughter's teachers birthday a few weeks ago and she loves pistachios. I wanted to make her something cute and bright that she could sit on her desk to hold her favorite snack. Play Date DSP was perfect to use for this project... don't you think?

I shot a few different angles.

Check out the little pencil... cute touch... I thought.

All gifts must have a coordinating gift bag.

Thanks for stoping by today. We are enjoying a family camping trip to the beach this weekend, should be lots of fun. Happy Stamping everyone!
