Okay, now the cards





Here are some of the Halloween cards I made. Some dyed ribbon, some buttons, bingo cards (always a good back ground), clip art (made by Janet on Etsy), colorful scraps, and stickels and you have yourself a few cards. They are fun to make too. Oh and Papertrey Parisian doily die, can't forget that, it's the best die!

Halloween Tags and Cards







Okay, how about some tags and cards? I made a few of those too. Sometimes I like to just send a tag as a way to say "Hi" rather than send a card each time. Tags seem to be faster and more fun to make for me sometimes. They are small so the canvas is easier to use as a base to build on. Either way, it's a great way to use up alot of your scraps you may have laying around after a few of the same themed projects. Sorry about the blurry pictures. I may need to get my eyes checked. The pictures looked fine when I took them...???

Mini Halloween Album










Nothing fancy but something quick. I made this mini album to send to my daughter in CA so she will fill it with pictures of the kids on Halloween. This way I might feel like I was there, not. Miss them all so much. I have always loved going Trick-or-Treating with them over the years. Well, I'll be with them for Thanksgiving this year, yea! Back to business, the album is 6x6 and has lots of tags and pockets for pictures and journaling.  Can't wait to get this little album back full of pictures... The pictures may not be the best but you get the idea. And guess what paper I used.... Tim Holtz again. Love that guy.

Halloween Coffins





I wanted to make something for my grandkids in CA so I came up with the idea to use the coffins that I found at Michael's. I filled them with scary things and candy and mailed them off to the kids. Again I used the paper pack by Tim Holtz's Halloween stack. The top coffin I filled with loose google eyes. The next one I filled with eeky bugs and the large one I filled with skulls and spiders. Hope they like them.

I've been well, it's my computor that's been sick...




My computor has been oh so sick. Got it going again now and will be in great shape next week. Had to go out and buy a new one. So to catch up on my Halloween, here are a few projects that I have been working on. I finished my haunted house. I used Tim Holtz Halloween stack of paper.

Haunted House

I'm not done yet but I am building this little house for Halloween. I plan on putting candy in it for a neighbor. I love making things for Halloween. This holiday lets you be creative with no real plan in mind. I get inspired just from the holiday it self. Anything goes. I'm working on this little house now but I have also made a couple of banners and tags. Tags are really fun. Just gather your Halloween supplies and make up anything! It takes very little to make tags. Not only do I use them for gift tags but also for just little notes to send to friends as a reminder that I am thinking of them. I will show those to you next time. Have fun..........smile......
