Halloween Card

OK, I promise this will be my last post for today. But I had some time in between work reports to get a few things done for next weekend. Here is the card we will be making. It's hard to tell in the photo, but the ghost is popped up and has glitter!!! (Lori would love the shiny!)

So, that's all for tonight. I have a new bug...Halloween cookie bouquets. What is my deal? I'm a freak.

Treat Tin

Sorry about the photos in the last one being out of order. Who knew I could be so blog illiterate?

Here is my finished tin and the one that you will be making at class next week. I have enough for 10 people! I think they're pretty cute, and I can say that because I just embellished the original one that I saw!

I did an "aereal" view and a side view so you can see exactly what they look like from all angles. (Lord, I hate to think what I look like from all angles!)

Welcome to my newest blog reader, Kim Bowden-Adair! Thanks for "stopping by" and I hope to see you next week at the Halloween Haunt!

Flower Pens

I think these are just SO cute! I see them in scrapbook stores all the time, and I figured they couldn't be that hard to make?!?! So, given that it's Sunday and WAY TOO HOT outside for an October weekend, I decided to give them a whirl!

They are relatively inexpensive and really quick. (I made 7 pens in about 15 minutes, including clean up!) I made them for the class that I'm having next weekend to make: a Halloween card, a treat tin and a treat bag. I hope everyone has fun!

Here are some photos. (You can also see my new countertops in the photos!)

The first is how I get them to stand up straight. (River pebbles, found at JoAnn's) The second is an indi pen.
The third iss the flowers in their "pot".

If you need instructions, LMK.

Digi Pages

Ooh, I am loving the digiscrapping. Yep, you never have to take out a single SHEET of paper. No clean up. Can get a page done in relatively quick time. What's not to like? AND, I find that I am doing more pages because of the aforementioned reasons.

I decided to blog this one because I tried to send it to my friend Liz and it wouldn't go thru. So, she's getting the blog version.

I plan to have lots more fun blog things in upcoming weeks as I adjust to the new craft room and get my computer all situated down there.

BTW, I am not too funny today. I had my repeat mammo. The first mammo...well, I have had gas that hurts worse than that. But, repeat mammo. Seriously next time just ask a Mack truck to run over my boob while it's laying on the street! When she was taking the photos, she said "Don't breathe". I asked her if she thought that was even possible? She didn't laugh.
