Jack....

This is a repost of some Haloween gifts from last year....I thought some of my new readers might enjoy seeing them!  Heck...maybe even some of you that have been following for years would like to see it again! 
-----------------------------------------
I have a lot of projects that just need finishing touches on them...I'll be doing those this weekend and posting next week so be on the lookout!
-----------------------------------------
I just LOVE a candle company called Scentsy.  It's a system of meltable wax and the cutest warmers!!!  A little goes a long way so they are very affordable!!!  Every once in a while, they will have seasonal warmers and this Halloween, they came up with "JACK" (go check out the 2010 Warmer...it's SO CUTE and I've been fighting myself NOT to order it!!!)  and he's the cutest pumpkin you've ever seen (I wish I had taken a picture of him but I didn't).  We purchased this for a good friend who LOVES Halloween and gave it to her this week.

------------------------------------------

Here's the cute packaging (which was the bag my Scentsy order came in and I just added the paper shreds, the card and the bow).....

And of course, I had to make a card to go along with it!!!

Here's the inside.....

---------------------------------

Reese's Peanut Butter Cup cover....

 -----------------------------

And Mr. Googly Eyes...made from some mints and black punched circles...I hate that I didn't take a picture of the front :0(

 -----------------------------------

Here's the CUTEST holder for licorice or pencils...whatever your fancy!

It's My Party.....

....and I'll cry if I want to....

TK's birthday party was on Saturday and it seemed like everything went wrong!!!  He rolled off the bed at about 4am and did this....

--------------------------

And then...mid-morning, he found the iron which was left plugged in and he did this...

-------------------------

The party did turn out good and CUTE....I will post more SOON!

Share the Magic Blog Hop....

Not only can I not believe that it's already OCTOBER, but I really can't believe that I'm already using my Christmas stamps. 

This month's blog hop is using October's SOTM, Share the Magic and it's full of Christmas icons including Santa, Rudolph, Frosty and some other few tidbits shown below:

This month we have LOTS of Consultants participating which means you'll be seeing LOTS of great artwork using this one stamp set!  If you've come from Cindy's Blog, you're on the right track!  If you get lost, you can always come back here and try to pick it up or go to Helen's Blog and see a complete list!

For my card this month, I chose to do a 5" x 7" using Mistletoe Paper and some Cocoa Brads.

-----------------------------

Closeup of the brads - I also stamped the little star-looking stamp and stuck the Cocoa brad through...when I saw Angela's creation for the Thriller Blog Hop, it just stuck in my head and I'm sure this is where the idea for all these brads and distressing came from.

 ---------------------

Here's a closeup of Santa's suit...I used Liquid Applique, let it dry completely and then heated with the Craft Heater...this method keeps the LA from bubbling up too much and gives it a little smoother look.  I also used the Licorice Opaques for his belt buckle...

 -----------------------------

and...the inside of the card 

Don't forget to hop on over to JEN'S BLOG and see what she's made with the set!!!

Also...don't forget you can start placing your orders for this CUTE stamp set today and you can even earn it for FREE!!! Contact your consultant to find out how or click here for more information!

Spiderman Birthday - the Invites...

My sweet little TK (boy) recently celebrated his 3rd birthday and when asked what kind of party HE wanted, he responded....DORA!!!  Of course, his daddy wasn't gonna let that happen (although my upline, Pamela, did have some CUTE layouts I could've cased...lol).  So, I kindly told him "no" and asked for another "theme"...he quickly responded ELMO....now, this would've worked perfectly EXCEPT that's what he did LAST YEAR and a scrapbooker can't have 2 years in a row with the same theme (you can check out last year's here)!!!  So...with some "suggestions", he's decided on Spider Man!!! 

Here are the invites that went out this week....

I used CTMH's NEW White Daisy Circle Cards, Cranberry, Black and White Daisy Cardstock, the Coluzzle to cut ovals for the eyes (Coluzzle is no longer available but I keep my handy at all times!)...Bonding Memories Glue Pen, 3-D Foam Tape (for the eyes), My Legacy Writers for the doodling and webs on the inside of the envelope and Spook Alley for the web on the envelope.  The Black glitter is some I picked up at Michael's.

I have some great ideas for cupcakes and goodie bags and will post pictures of those next week.

Wordless Wednesday....Happy Birthday TK!
