Happy Halloween! I have so much to do (including three little bat costumes to create!) that I won't have time to create the scrapbooking page for today, so I thought I'd leave you with some spooky wishes for a great, scary and candy-filled Halloween!
Be safe and have fun!
Wish shoe stampin' fun!
I have a sneak peek for my next holiday card class November 6at 6:30 pm. I even used more traditional colors, at least for these two.
The first card combines the Medallion stamp with our bird from the Birds & blooms sizzlets. It also uses real red and crushed curry. (Note to self: make sure to poke out the bird's eye before sending!)
For this one, I used our ornament punch to make a stencil! However, I will provide the Stamp-a-ma-jig at the class for matching the stamp with the punch better!
If you'd like to join me for stamping some great holiday cards, reserve your space using the link below or email me with other arrangements. There are only three spaces left, so don't wait too long!
I have to tell you to be careful when you make this recipe! I have pulled the ingredients together and finally, on the fifth time, I have a sample to share with you!
This is the easiest recipe, and one my husband (who is the taste tester at our house) says is even better than traditional s'mores!
3 cups mini marshmallows
3 cups Golden Grahams (or similar)
6 cubes bark coating
1. Toss marshmallows and cereal together.
2. Melt bark coating and pour over mixture.
3. Stir to coat and spoon into cupcake papers.
Makes 18+
So of course I had to decorate, and realized that today is the last day of school before Halloween (since All Saints' Day lands on Sunday, my kids are off Friday) so made it real simple.
I used one of our Cello bags and added gussets (that's for another post), then placed my treat inside. The sentiment from Teeny tiny messages, stamped in basic black, is punched out with our word window punch, then matted in pumpkin pie with our modern label punch and held on with a bit of black 1/4 inch grosgrain ribbon.
I slipped it into the pails I decorated a few days ago (you can see that post here) for a great spooky Halloween gift!
Now, once you've had a chance to make these Indoor s'mores, don't say I didn't warn you! You'll be making them often, but hey, they are so easy!

Just in case you didn't check the Stampin' Up! website last month, I thought I'd share the Project of the Month, since it's so appropriate for the holiday! Since this project is not online anymore, I thought I'd pull it out of the archive in case you need a last minute project for neighbor kids, teachers, co-workers, etc!

I know you are probably getting rather tired of this idea, but it's one of my favorites and is so easy! I found these little pails at a local department store but thought they needed a little something.
So I thought about my scrapbook page and card that I'd made with the grass using Inspired by Nature and whisper white craft ink, but with the lip at the bottom of the pail, stamping was not an option. I tried to pick up Stazon white ink with my blender pen, but it wouldn't go on. Finally, I tried my Versamark pen with white embossing powder, and...Ta-da!!!
I simply started the pen at the bottom and pulled the marker quickly upward to create the look of grass, then added the googly eyes with mini glue dots for a festive pail! I think it needs some ribbon around the handle, but I can't wait to fill these for the teachers up at school!

I have to tell you I just love this Saturday feature! I have actually finished enough pages that I can see a big difference in my photo boxes, which means I can finally start printing out pictures from 2008 (yes, I meant 2008, almost two years ago!).
It's funny - I don't usually make scenic scrapbook pages, but I've made a couple just in this past month! I used paper from our Autumn traditions Designer series paper for a border on the left - it looked a little unbalanced so I wanted to add something. The title uses both Just perfect and Taffy alphabets in whisper white craft ink.
The grass is again our Inspired by Nature in always artichoke, and the pumpkins are punched with our large oval and 1 1/4 inch circle punches in more mustard. I sponged the edges of each shape for some definition, then cut small pieces of chocolate chip for stems.
So I don't have a digital page to share yet - I've been watching the webinars and taking quizzes so I can become certified to answer your questions. Wish me luck!
Wish shoe stampin' (and scrapbookin') fun!
I told you I would share an idea with the library clips, so here's one! I started with a blank, black laminate tile sample (you can get them free at home improvement stores, but only take a few each trip!).
Then I added a bit of pumpkin pie cardstock (simply adhered with our SNAIL adhesive) and a strip of our black gingham ribbon (just taped on the back). I pulled out our small Just perfect alphabet and stamped boo in white stazon ink. The black library clip at the top is one of our mini's, not the 1/2 inch size.
This would be so cute as a magnet with a picture, so I added one of Andrew so you could get the idea. I think it would be really cute with a spooky picture, but I didn't have any ready for cutting up! This project would be really cute for the upcoming holidays, as an ornament, or gift tag!
So who's off to the closest home improvement store? If you're close by, just stop by my house - I have several of these!
