Halloween Treats

Hello all my crafty friends. 

First off I just want to send my thoughts and

prayers to all affected by Hurricane Sandy!!

I just wanted to post a couple of quick pics.

These are the treat bags I made for

the 5 grandkids that live

here in California.

Their church has a Harvest Festival

so they do not really celebrate Halloween.

I made it easy on myself this year

and made the same bag for each one!!

I used Simply Charmed for the pumpkins

The font for the sentiment is from

A Child's Year, welded on my gypsy.

I used Peachy Keen Cornie Faces and

New Year's Faces for the pumpkin faces.

Here are the little treats I made for mine

and my hubby's coworkers.

I used the My Creative Time Tri-Fold Card Die.

The label is from Lacey Labels and the sentiment

is from Pink By Design.  I added some crinkle ribbon,

buttons from Recollections and more of my

homemade stickpins!!

They loved them, some of the ladies

took the stick pins off and were wearing them

on their lapels!!

Thanks for stopping by today!!

I am entering these treats in the following challenges:

Would You Ever Guess Wednesday

Welcome back for another

 My Cricut Craft Room



On WYEGW, we can use anything on the cricut cartridge EXCEPT the main image.  For my project today, I chose the A Child's Year Cartridge.  For the longest time I hesitated on buying this cartridge, since my kids all all grown up and I thought I had no need for this cart.  I kept see projects made on other blogs and the Cricut Messageboards using this cartridge.  So I finally decided to buy it!!

I picked the image on page 39, it is using the ICON feature using the shift key.  Here is the sneak peak!!

I cut the image at 3.5" in cream color cardstock.  I knew I wanted to cover it with stickles.  When I first tried painting on the stickles, I was not getting full coverage.  You could see alot of the cream color, so I decided to wipe off the stickles and add some color with chalk. 

Here is what the image looked like with just the chalk.

Pretty good, but I needed to add the sparkle, so I added Candy Cane and Green Stickles.  All the paper is from Close to My Heart "Elegant Bouquet" paper pack.  I have alot of the older CTMH paper packs, so now I am trying to use them.  I have so much paper, I kind of vowed not to buy anymore until I used up at least some of what I have.  We will see how long that will last...LOL!! 

Here is a picture of the finished card.

I inked the edges of all the paper with Distress Ink in Tea Dye.  I used the Swiss Dots and Divine Swirls Cuttlebug folders for the two mats.  I added some My Craft Spot Crinkle Ribbon in Scarlett Red.  I finished the card off with a tag from the coordiating sticker stack from CTMH and the sentiment is from Paper Trey Inks "Birthday Basics" Set.
