Halloween Popcorn Treats

Hello All My Crafty Friends!!

Warning!!  This is a long post :)

It seems like such a long time since I spent any time in my craft room!!  We were in the process of redecorating our bedroom, so the house has been in total chaos for the last few weeks.  Painting, crown molding, new furniture, a new sleep number bed!!  Whew, lots of stuff!!  The bedroom is all done now, and looks fabulous.  We still have a little accessorizing to do, but all the big stuff is done.

Anyway, with Halloween a few days away, I needed to get into my craft room to make some treat bags for mine and my DH coworkers.  Since I had a short amount of time and needed to make 30 of them, I decided to make something simple.  I found this great recipe for Salted Caramel Popcorn at Hungry-Girl.com, so I wanted to make some and give this instead of candy.  It is yummy and low in calories.  You can click on the link for the recipe.  I had some cute Halloween Ziploc bags I found at Micahels for $1 last year and decided to fill these with the popcorn and I added a cute little tag.

Here is a picuture of the first 15, and a close up of the cute bag.

 

I used Tags, Bags, Boxes and More to cut the tag at 4 " and Mini Monsters for the cute little ghost at 1.75".  The cardstock is Coordinations, for the tag I used the Black Magic and embossed with a Hello Kitty folder from Sizzix.  I added a strip of glittery green paper at the bottom cut with Martha Stewarts Drippy Goo Punch.  I used the PK - Monster Mash assortment for the face on the ghost and added some glossy accents to the eyes and mouth.  The sentiment is from Crafysprouts, "Totally Witchin" set.  I punched a hole in the treat bag and tied the tag on with My Craft Spot Crinkle Ribbon in Marmalade.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

Green with Envy

Here is a simple little card I made for a few challenges.  The Throwback Thursday Challenge this week at My Creative Time was to make a project without using your Cricut!!  You were also to use the colors black, green, orange and purple.  Halloween colors, right!  So I decided to use the sketch cahllenge over at CTO this week and make this card for 3 challenges!!
Celebrate the Occassion - Sketch Challenge
My Creative Time Throwback Thursday - "Cricutless" Challenge, use black, green, orange and purple
More Than Favors - Wacky Wednesday #49 Halloween!

The patterned paper is Imaginisce Hallowhimsy line, the purple is Corrdinations, which I used a Cuttlebug foleder to emboss.  I used some crinkle ribbon from My Craft Spot.  The flourish in the corner is from Recollections and the witch is a leftover sticker from my Halloween project from last year.  The sentiment is from the "All Year Round" stamp set from BugBites.

Hugs and Kisses,
Kathy

Circle Anniversary Card

Hello all my crafty friends.  I have 2 post today as I got to spend a few hours in my craft room. 
the first on is an anniversary card I made for my cousin who is celebrating her 30th wedding anniversary!
Since the challenge at Celebrate the Occasion is to make a circle card, that is what I decided to make!!

The card base and top layer are from Art Philosophy, as is the frame on the inside of the card.  Don't you just love this shape!!  The numbers for the 30 were also cut from Art Philosophy.  The sweet birdie couple and the sentiment on the inside is from Sweethearts.  I used the swiss dots & distressed stripes Cuttlebug folders. The background paper is from the DCWV Lemon Frost Stack.  I added some ribbon and some bling.  Here is the inside.
