Faith & Hope

Happy Monday!

Well only 5 more days until our big move! Whew! It's been a crazy weekend organizing, packing, cleaning....oh and stamping ;) I'm officially all packed up now. It's a sad day :( I'm actually happy to be out of town all week and not looking at all these boxes....ack!

While I still had some supplies out on my table from a couple of days ago I thought it would be nice to make another using them.

This sentiment comes from the Taylored Expressions set Faith & Hope.

The felt flower was created using the Rolled Flower and the leaves were make with the Flower Trio & Leaf Trio Die Duo.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Halloween Treats

It is almost Halloween, one of my children's favorite times of the year. Today at Paper Playtime the challenge is to make a Halloween treat. My daughter goes to a sitter while I am at work, and every year they have a Halloween party, and we make up little treat bags. This year, I decided to use my Cricut. Here is what I came up with:









Cute eh? There is not a ton of candy inside the treat bags, but enough for a 4 year old :) I used this tutorial HERE to make the treat bad cover. It was really easy. The paper is all Bazzil. I used a punch from EK Success to punch the edge of the treat bag. The little ghost on the back in from Mini Monsters - he was I was originally planning to use for the front of the bag, but changed my mind. The cute little stamps are from Stampin Up, as is the scallop circle punch I used and the circle punch.

My daughter loved them and so did my son. He is trying to convince me that I need to make another 26 for his class. I haven't decided yet...

I hope you all head over to Paper Playtime and show us your Halloween treats! I can't wait to see what you all come up with :)

Flyaway Halloween has crept into my home!

Halloween and Autumn has come to our home from the front door gentleman welcoming visitors
The table on the porch
to the wreath

on the front door all are harvest touches.
Halloween on door knobs,

On the floor,

the kitchen counter

Jars filled with candy waiting for little scary ghouls and goblins.

Halloween has crept into the living room spidery coasters.

Love the white gourd pumpkins

Zelda the witch
keeping watch over the Dickens Village
with the new Pumpkin touches Rosanne gave me for my birthday.


The Thanksgiving dinner table was decorated on a blend of Thanksgiving and Halloween from the mums, Autumn leaves, turkey, to the pumpkins.


Black tablecloth accented by spooky witchy hats, spider webs, more pumpkins and witches brooms holding special treats for the guests.



Each Flyaway favour bag was decorated individually. This craft was from Martha Stewart . Here is the link.
