Halloween Treat Bags.. CUTE!!!

Today has been very busy for me. I wanted to make a few cards but did not get a chance to. I was out getting my 11 year old son Casey's halloween costume. Anyhow, I was thinking about what type of treat bags I was going to make for Casey and my 9 year old daughter Hallie's school class.  Every holiday I always make treat bags but wanted something a little different and cuter.

I came up with this. I used Martha Stewarts Drippy Goo punch for the edge of this tag that says Happy Halloween. 

 I thought they turned out really cute. Now I only have to make 60 more..lol. I hope this gave you some idea on how you want to make your child's treat bags. Maybe you don't have kids and you just want to make goodie bags to pass out on halloween. This would be adorable. Oh, the little clear bags I got at Walmart. They were so cheap, only $2.00 for 100 of them..I think it is 100. Anyhow, they are super cheap but there is so much you can do with them. I would LOVE to see your finished treat bags. Leave me a comment and tell me where I can go to see them and I will leave you a comment back.

Thank you for looking and come back soon.

Boy Did I Hit The Jackpot Today... WOW!!!

Today I was out and about and I decided to stop at Big Lots. I have not been there in years. So I go in and first stop at the halloween candy, which I needed. So I got alot of candy, little toys for all the trick or treaters. Then I went to the scrapbook isle and man..there were soooooo many great deals. I am talking Martha Stewart ribbon for $1.00..most of them were only $.50 so I got them ALL. I spent $30.00 on scrapbooking/card supplies and I got about 38 rolls of ribbon. Not all of them are Martha Stewart, just a few of them are. But still.. what a great deal. Then I looked at the paper and cardstock. They were so cheap and I plan on going back again soon. Here is 2 pictures of my loot. Oh, and I got 4 fiber yarn rolls for $1.00 each. What a crazy deal. I would run, run and run to your local Big Lots to see what they have. I even got some alphabet stamps, a glitter patterned paper stack, 12 x 12 paper stack and another 12 x 12 blue paper stack, some embellishments and more. Anyhow, just wanted to share.  Thanks for looking! Come back soon. I add something each and every day.

Nursery Rhymes cartridge.

Your finished card size will be 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Grown Up Classy Pumpkin Card

Mini Monsters Cartridge and found this adorable pumpkin. So here is the Pumpkin Card that I just made.. yes, it is 1:35 am and I am still up making cards.. :o)

This is what you need to make this beautiful pumpkin card.

I love it because it is different from a normal looking orange pumpkin...the paper is just beautiful.

It is flocked and is very heavy duty. I had to put my blade depth at 6, pressure at max and I still

had a time getting it off the mat.
