Halloween cards and Trick & Treats are done and in the mail!

I finished up my Halloween Cards, 21Treat bags and 7 Tricks and got them in the mail today (some will be hand delivered)! I realized this evening I forgot to take a picture of one of the cards that I mailed off, oh well. Here are the last of the cards, the Tricks and the Treats. Now I can start focusing on Christmas and maybe have those done before Thanksgiving :)

This little guy came from Scrappy Dew's Halloween Palz Bundle Set

Now for the funny part of this card. Notice the little area for writing is on the top? Well I had not attached the cute little guy on the front yet when I was working on the inside. I used a pop up card from SVG Cuts Premium Pop Cards Collection, got the pop up attached, and then put on the area to write on. It's all glued down and ready to go. I close the card to attach the bat and discovered I did this upside down!!! Hmmm now what to do. I carefully removed the circle pop up and put it back on the other direction and then slapped on a bunch of stickers. LOL - salvage the card!

This digi stamp (Casandra) came from Simply Betty Stamps Spooky Hallow Collection. I used Crystal Stickles at the tip of her wand to create a little "spark"

I really do love this witches hat from SVG Cuts. I forgot to put the hat band on but it still looks cute! I used Perfect Pearls (silver) on the flower to give it a little more depth.

Hoping my granddaughter likes this one in pink!

Goodie bags -- 21 goodie bags! Now you must know that a 3 year old does NOT understand why he cannot have the candy that I was putting in all these bags!

The goodie bags cut file came from SVG Cuts Sweet Treats Bag Collection. The witch I made by joining a silhouette of a witch on to a plain bag file.  The tags are from SVG Cuts as well ( a freebie file!). The candy corn is from a necklace that I found at JoAnn's for a buck! I just clipped the string and took off the wooden pieces of candy! They attached real well with Glossy Accents

This bat bag is from the SVG Cuts files. The cat peeking out of the pumpkin is another wooden piece taken from a necklace that I picked up at JoAnn's for a buck!

Here is a shot of the other bag I used, this is a scallop cut out in the SVG Cuts collection

Now the TRICKS!

Each of the kids are getting one of these!

I took a piece of printed cardstock, wrapped them around a pair (or two) of socks and taped it together. Then I stuck two Halloween pencils down into the socks and attached the little topper. The topper was cut in MTC from my gallery of basic shapes!

And more Halloween Cards

I have been working hard to get the last of the Halloween cards made plus a slew of treat bags. Below are five new cards -- only five more to go!!! I have 9 of the treat bags done, 12 more to go! I'll post a few pictures of those when they are done. Hope you enjoy these!

I used the same spooky tree that I got from the MTC Gallery for this one. Pretty basic with a few stickers. Haven't decided what I am going to do on the inside yet LOL. I'm interested to see what folks think about this one. 

This is Marvin the Bat, he is so darn cute. I picked up this digi stamp and two others of Marvin from The Stamping Bazaar. I fussy cut around him (leaving a little white cardstock and used my bic fine point markers to color him in.

Ducks - Free MTC files

I created a couple of duck files a while back but never got a chance to cut them out. I still have not cut them but they look pretty good so I think they will cut just fine. If you use either of these files or any of my other files please send me a picture or link so I can see what you did. Thanks!

Busy days, nights, weekends

I have been working on getting things ready for National Telecommunications Week (April 11-17). A lot of things going on at work and trying to decide what I am going to do with my career. Thirteen years in emergency dispatch is a long time, burn out is typically 5 years. I think I am a late bloomer in the area of burn out. Easter cards are made and going in the mail tomorrow.

A few people have requested specific files on some of the groups I belong too. I was able to create a few of them from coloring pages. Plus this past week our challenge was to turn a coloring page into a cut on MTC. Below are a few of the new files. If I don't have an SVG or MTC file of the one you want posted just leave me a message with your email and I will send it to you.

 (Anyone that knows me and Aiden please note the information on this picture is just written on there to show how information could be put directly on the cut. I know that Aiden is only 2 1/2 and no there is no pizza party at Idaho Pizza on June 12th LOL)

I haven't cute this one yet. It was my first experience of welding a basic shape to another shape to make a card base. Worked pretty well.

I wish I still had my ring that had a claddagh on it.





Well that's about it for now. I'm sure there will be more to come soon. (Amended April 11, 2010)
