More Halloween Treat Bags

As if making 6 treat bags for the kids at the babysitter's wasn't enough, I decided to make 6 more for a party we went to last weekend. I ended up staying up until 2 AM Friday night (okay, Saturday morning) so they'd be done by the time we had to leave for the party. I really think I am becoming insane!!!

This project fits for many challenges, there are probably even more than I have found but here's what I have:

PaperCutz- Halloween using stars, circles, diamonds, or crescents

Spoonfull of Sugar - Boo!!! - Halloween

Creative Inspirations - Halloween/Fall

Fab N' Funky - Things that Go Bump In The Night

Corrosive - Halloween (or orange and black)

My first sucessful attempt at an easel card!!

Phindy's Place on Paper Craft Planet has reached 1000 members (actually, as of this moment there are 1022!!). To celebrate, the DT from Phindy's Challenge Blog are hosting several fun challenges over on the PCP page for us. Today's challenge was a "card-a-thon". I missed the live version of Cec's discussion but I went back and followed along later anyway. It sounded like great fun and I'm sorry I missed it! Cec "walked" us through making an easel card. She must be a wonderful teacher because this is the first easel card that I have done that actually works!

You should really go over to the PCP discussion and check it out - there's a great prize up for grabs and it's a random drawing - gotta love that! While you're there, become a member (if you're not already), I can't believe how fast we've grown from 1000 to 1022! Amazing!

This card also works for Stamp Something - Digi Day - I just love Phindy's Digis!

One of my crazier ideas...

Hello all!

Well, I decided to make treat bags for all of the kids at the babysitter's. There's only 5 little girls (and my 2 month old son) so it shouldn't be a big deal, right? Yeah, okay! These cute little bags took a bit of time between coloring the adorable Phindy Image, cutting everything out, stamping/glittering the paper, and assembling them all - I think I'm nuts!

Though, I have to admit, they are adorable!

This project fits several challenges this week...I'm sure there are more but this is what I've found:

Fussy and Fancy Friday - Halloween

Stamp Something - Halloween Something

Pile It On - Kid Themed Halloween

Stamptacular Sunday - No Cards Allowed

Allsorts - "Bingo" (you've got to check it out, I can't explain but it's cool) - I chose the bottom row - I have a "tag" with the child's name on the back, I used a punch (to make the tag), and I have ribbon (to hold it closed).

Phindy's Place - Fancy Folds - I wasn't sure if this qualified or not since it's not a card but Phindy says it does, so I guess it must!!

Finally....my camera and computer are friends again!

Hello! I actually got to take a real picture of this card because my camera and computer are friends again! Woo Hoo! It's a good thing too since I couldn't figure out how to scan this card!

Phindy's Place Challenge Blog has a challenge this week that was a bit of a "challenge" for me. It's Fancy Fold Cards.....wasn't quite sure how I was going to go about that one. I looked up some tutorials and ended up just winging it! I think this card turned out pretty neat!

This is the card when it is all closed up.

Untie the ribbon, open the first flap and this is what you get (it says "Happy Birthday").

Now with flap #2 opened!

All the way opened! There's lots of room for a message in there!

Here's a top view so you can get a better idea of how it worked out!

The image for this card is a freebie from Phindy's Page on Paper Craft Planet. Our group has reached 1000 members, how cool is that? Anyway, I just had to use this little guy.

Speaking of Phindy reaching 1000 members, there are big doings on her PCP page starting this weekend to celebrate. If you're a member, stop over and join us, if you're not a member, stop over, become a member, and join us! I for one can't wait!!

This card is for:

Phindy's Place Challenge - Fancy Folds

Paper Cutz - Anything Goes

Something Cute

You'll have to excuse the picture again this week - still missing my laptop :(. I had to scan this one in!

Soooo, Phindy's Challenge this week is to make "something cute". How easy is that with a Phindy Image? Here's my card.....

It's been a while!

Wow, life seems to have gotten crazy! It's been a while since I've posted but I'm back in the swing of things and I have an entry for Phindy's Challenge Blog. This week is a sketch challenge, I just LOVE sketch challenges!

I wasn't able to "clean up" my picture because my laptop with my photoshop program is currently not working - UGH! So, you get a rough picture - sorry!

I just LOVE LOVE LOVE this Phindy Image - it's one of the new Winter Cuties. I think it's my new favorite because it reminds me of my daughter and son! Too cute!

Without further ado, here is my card!

Ahhhhhhhhhh....quiet time!

It's 1 AM and my house is quiet. Why is it that my children don't seem to require sleep? My 2 month old son was up until after 11! 'the poor little guy had bags under his eyes but refused to give in to sleep.

Anyway, I've been enjoying the quiet and crafting (though I should have been cleaning!).

I made this sweet little thank you card using a freebie from Phindy's Place on Papercraft Planet. If you're not a member yet, you should really head over to the PCP page and join the group! There is a wonderful group of ladies who have become Phindy Phriends who chat regularly. I just love them all! If you're not into chatting, that's fine too, everyone would love it if you just shared your Phindy creations. If sharing isn't your thing, just come on over and join so we can get up to 1000 members! I'm DYING to find out what freebie Phindy will give us when we hit that big milestone (she has given us a PHABULOUS freebie for every 100 members) - we're only 18 people away!!! Plus, if you join the group, you can get the freebies we've already gotten!

I used papers from Summer Driggs. I just love her digital papers AND they're FREE! How great is that?

Now, here is the list of challenges that I have made this card for:

1.) Sunday Sketch and Stamp - Sketch

2.) Paper Sundaes - Fabulous Fall - I thought these rich brown colors just looked like fall, don't you?

3.) Papertake Weekly - Animal Magic - Little Miss Patty is such a cute little animal!
