Halloween Treat Bags

Hello and Happy Halloween!!
Every year I make my grandkids Halloween Treat bags, and usually try
to make them the same as whatever they are dressing up as
 
Here are this year's bags!!
So my granddaughter Kambria is 11
and she is dressing up as the Tin Man
but, her's is a Tin Girl??
Her costume is called Tin Heart Throb.
I tried to come as close as I could.
I combined elements from Too Cute By Jessica's
I had to get creative with this one.
The ax and tin hat are from another file
I used the Peachy Keen In the Garden Faces.

Now my next grandchild is Tristan and he is 10
almost 11 and he only decided a few days ago
that he was even going to dress up.
I had to settle for what his mom could
find and that was a Ninja!!
I used the Girl Ninjas file from Too Cute by Jessica
I did not have the boy ninja file, so I just
left the hair off!!  I am not at all happy with
the way the background came out.
but oh well!!!  I used Peachy Keens Moodies face stamps

 Next up is Vincent and he is 9
as you can see, he will be Iron Man
I used the Superhero Kids 2 files from TCBJ
Next to last is Kayla, she is 7
and a total tomboy!!  She wanted to be a Ninja Turtle.
I used one of the Member Free files from PPBN
I used a Prima Stencil and Distress Ink
to create the cool brick wall background.

Last but certainly not least is my
dear little princess Bella who is 5.
She is crazy about Frozen so who else
could she be but Elsa!!  For this one, I used the
Frosty Fairytale Friends file from TCBJ
I used Peachy Keen Sweet and Innocent faces.
I added some sparkle with Wink of Stella Glitter Pens
and some Want 2 Scrap Bling.
 
Thanks for stopping by and have a
safe and happy Halloween!!

Talk Turkey to Me - Fall Harvest

Hello,
Today is my day to post over at
I am sharing a card
made using Talk Turkey to Me
from the October Release
I just love the way this card turned out.
The wagon is from the Picking Pumpkins file
from Too Cute By Jessica
The wood grain paper is from My Minds Eye
Wood Designer Pad

All the fruit/vegetables are from the
Talk Turkey to me set except the corn.
The corn is from Let's Get Stuffed

I just love the little sign post included on the set.
The perfect place to stamp your sentiment!!
I colored all my images using
my Spectrum Noir markers
 I also added some Sprinkles from Doodlebug
and a little doodling :)
I colored my own seam binding ribbon using
Tim Holtz Distress ink.
It was a technique I learned at the
Scrapbook Expo.  Just turn a plastic bag inside out
ink up the inside with the color you want to use
spritz with water.  Turn it right side out, place the white seam binding
inside and then just work the ribbon around until
you saturate it with color.  Be sure to let it dry before using
 
These are the two sets I used
 
Thanks for stopping by today!!

a file in the Silhouette Store.
