Happy halloween projects


Happy Halloween!  How was your halloween?  Even though my two sons are grown up and one of them is married, I still send them halloween cards and "treats."  I always had so much fun taking them around trick or treating, and since I could sew, they always got to dress up in whatever they wanted....Sonic the hedgehog, Blues clues, Grim reaper, and Power Ranger were some of the costumes I made for them.  The pumpkin in the previous picture was the first trick-or-treat holder that my youngest son had lol.

Stampin' Up's halloween reversible designer paper, washi tape, and ribbon are perfect for making a halloween card for each of them, as well as wrapping their halloween treats - here are a few pictures of the treats I sent my two sons and daughter-in-law:



 Notice the fake spider on a couple of the packages?!!

I would have liked to have dressed up my two furbabies in their costumes, but they wouldn't work out with their harnesses during their walks. So I just put colorful scarves on them - I recently read that dog scarves make a dog more approachable.  




  I also put up some outside halloween decorations up - purple lights, autumn leaves, lighted pumpkin, scarecrows, scary cat, and witches hat.  Hope you had some halloween candy!

P.S.  You can buy most of the Stampin' Up items I used in my online Stampin' Up store:  http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/marynoble/

Oct. blog hop - October already?!



Welcome to this month’s blog hop with Di's Country Inkers!  
Gee, last month just flew by, didn't it?!

Our blog hop theme this month is Halloween or Fall. Being involved with Stampin’ Up made me start making Halloween cards as they always have so many great inspiring ideas and projects. Here is my project:


I used the Spooky Nights designer paper and cat punch from the current holiday catalog, as well as black rhinestone jewels and the vintage crochet trim. 


Can you see how I wrapped the trim around my card twice so that it looks like one wide lace trim?  


This was a fun card to make, as the Spooky Nights designer paper is double sided and this makes it so versatile!  I used 6 different papers from this set!!






You will want to be sure to look at the new holiday catalog….You can get all of the Stampin’ Up products I used in my online store:  http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/marynoble/
