2010 Halloween - ESL Students

So, I made this layout of some of my ESL students. They had been trick-or-treating at my neighbor's house.  They had so much fun!  I made the spiders that are covering their faces at the same friend's house last night! They were so easy to make and so much fun!  I'll give some to my nephews and will probably wear some while handing out treats this year! Some are rings, and some have fairly flat backs, so I can even use them on my scrapbook pages or cards! Yay!  Anyway, I made this for The Paper Variety's challenge  this week!



Thanks for visiting! It makes my day! If you have time, leave me a comment so I know you were here! I haven't been visiting as many people lately since I've been on a little hiatus with my health and being really busy!   I got a good report yesterday on my legs! I was worried about one, but they said that the symptoms were normal and should go away!  I'll try to stop by soon if you leave me a comment!

Is this too fun for Halloween lovers, or what???

Halloween Ball Point Pen - Laser Cut "blank" and Hand Turned by Steve Massman

I haven't felt very craft this week. I've been a little under the weather. So, I thought I'd share this cool Halloween pen that my husband made and has up for sale on his Etsy shop!

1997 Halloween

I made this Fall layout using a sketch at Artful Delight to celebrate Leanne's birthday!   I also used a book page which I sprayed with Mr. Huey Mist and some Webbing to meet a challenge over at Sweet Peach Crop Shop!  I did quite a bit of tearing and distressing and embossed the photo mat on this to give it a little texture!  My little sweetheart was 3 when he went trick-or-treating as Elmo in 1997.  It's hard to believe he is a senior in high school this year!!!  Most of this is My Mind's Eye except for the fussy cut leaves which are CTMH.  By the way, did you notice the Fiskars leaf border punch at the bottom of the black paper?  I helped name it "Falling for You." :-)

Thanks for visiting. I'm posting a couple of things today!

Pocket Treat Holders

Joni had a challenge to make these cute little pocket treat holders just in time for Halloween! So, I combined this with Design Dollies (top photo) color challenge this week to make these little pockets for special trick-or-treaters! I made it out of Nikki Sivils.  As you can see, it was hard to stop! I made 4 Halloween treats and one Christmas treat holder (Cosmo Cricket Togetherness).  I used a crimper on the flap on this one.  I'll probably end up making more, but I wanted to go ahead and make a blog entry about it!

Halloween Treat Box

I made this little treat box for Inking It Up Crazy's challenge to alter a random item and make it something special. I took an old box and freshened it up by adding some Halloween paper, ribbon and a CTMH Dracula stamp on an inverted circle Spellbinder die.

Halloween Card

This card is really simple. What I like about it is the Krylon webbing spray  on the middle background paper! I got the stamp from a friend at Sketches 4 All and the sketch came from there, too! I'm entering it into the Simon Says challenge to make a Halloween Card.

Halloween 1996

This is a layout for ScrapFit's challenge to use a halloween song title.  I chose The Monster Mash!

Halloween - 1968

I have no idea what costume my twin sister and I wore this year for Halloween, but I can sure see that we loved eating the candy!  I used a lot of vendors on this layout:  the majority of the papers are from Basic Grey. The photo corners were made from a sheet to which I had previously sprayed Krylon webbing paint. It makes such a cool effect--perfect for Halloween!  I did this layout for Sketches 4 All. They have a fantastic contest going on right now! There are lots of prizes to be won!

Halloween 2009

I guess I am lucky they let me take one picture!
