Halloween Treat Bags

Hello and Happy Halloween!!
I have a quick post to share today
of the treat bags I made for
my co-workers.
 I used 2 files from Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons
to create my treat bags.  The topper is from
the Handled Treat Topper file and the cute
ghosts are from the Monster Mash file.  

I stamped the cute little faces with
the Peachy Keen Sweet and Innocent
Face Stamps.

I embossed the middles strip with a
Cuttlebug Candy Corn folder.
The label is from the Silhouette Store
and the sentiment is from Crafty Sprouts.

Hope all your little ghosts and
goblins have a sweet and safe
Happy Halloween!!

Hi Pumpkin!!

Hello and Happy Saturday!!
I have a quick post to share today.
I have not joined in on the
challenges over at Peachy Keen
for a few weeks, so this project
is for this weeks sketch challenge.
Here is the sketch:

Here is my take on the sketch:

I kept my card clean and simple.
The papers are from
Bo Bunny Apple Cider Pack.
I used a spellbinders Lacey Circle
die for my doily.  I found the
cute little felt pumpkins at
Target in the dollar bin and knew
they would be perfect with
some sweet Peachy Faces.
I used the PKSC-22 October Stamps
The banner is a My Creative Time Die
and the sentiment is from
Jaded Blossom's "Let's Talk Turkey"
stamp set.  The button was from
my stash and I added a little
Tea Dye Distress Ink

I will entering this card
in the following challenges:
Jaded Blossom October Challenge

Craft It Up & Link It Up "Say it with a Sentiment" Week 2

Today is my design team post for Craft It Up & Link It Up Linky Party hosted by Tara of Craftin Desert Divas! Every other Monday will mark the beginning of a new semi-weekly linky party and you could win fabulous prizes!!
This linky party theme is
SAY IT WITH A SENTIMENT.
The sponsors are
  $15 Gift Certificate
     $10 Gift Certificate
 
The more you link up, the better chance you have to win.  Visit 
Craftin Desert Divas for all the rules and to play along.
Here is what I created for this linky party....
I made a tag using another of my Julie Nutting Prima Doll Stamps.
You may get sick of seeing these as they are my latest obsession!!
I used several different techniques making this tag.  I started with a
Prima Tag. Next I used an ArtC stencil and Tim Holtz Distress ink
to stencil a pattern to the corners of the tag.  The stencil was called
Houndstooth, but I thought it looked like bats!!  Next I sprayed the
entire tag with Tsukineko Goosebumps Glimmer Texture Spray.
This spray gave the tag a very cool bumpy texture that glimmers.
It is hard to see in the photos, but this tag has a lot of texture and
shine!!   I inked the edges of the tag with some more distress ink.
Here is my doll, I used two different papers for her.  One was
Echo Parks "Chillingsworth Manor" and the other was Authenique
"Enchanted"  Once again I added distress ink and lots of Stickles in
Black Diamond and Orange Peel.  I also added some black tulle to
the bottom of her dress. 
 These sentiment stickers were from the same paper packs and more distress ink. 
I also added a prima flower which I spritzed with Dazzling Diamonds
Glimmer  Mist and Black Diamond Stickles.  To finish off my tag, I
added some Webster's Pages lace and black ribbon, a homemade stick
pin and Recollections Bling.  I added more black tulle and crinkle
ribbon to the top of the tag.
 
Come join us and Craft It Up & Link It Up!!!
