Gorjuss Girl Doll Halloween Card

I'm a little late in sharing the last few Halloween crafty things. I'm just not ready to start working on a lot of Christmas just yet.

Here is a Halloween card that I made for a friend who collects the Gorjuss Girl doll stamps.  Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!!

KC Croppers Wicked Crop

The Wicked Crop was a success.  We had several dress up as witches. They did an awesome job with their costumes.  It was a lot of fun! 

Here are all the name tags I made.

I cant believe its been a year since I last posted here on the blog.

I thought I would start back up by sharing pics of the Halloween cards I made last month.

This one I made for my hubby using Lawn Fawn Stamps.

These cute, quick and easy cards were made using pop dots & Doodlebug Designs Halloween paper.

Boo Crop Decorations

Earlier in October, a few scrapbooking pals and I hosted a Halloween themed crop. Here are pics of some of the the decorations I made.  We had a great time.  Looking forward to our next big crop!

Halloween Goodies

I always enjoy paper crafting for the holidays.  Here are the goodies I made for members of our local scrapbook group and friends.  Many of these ideas came from pinterest.  The mini witch hat bag idea was from Carolyn C. (Northland KC Croppers group member).  If you are reading this Carolyn...Thank You, again.  When she brought me one at our BOO Crop, I knew I had to try and duplicate it. So I made several.  Now Halloween is over and I'm already looking forward to Thanksgiving projects.

Decorated Goodie Bags using Julie Nutting stamp, svg files ghost from Kadoodle Bug Designs, FabBOOlous printout, and bags from Target Dollar Spot.

Mini Candy bar nugget boxes.  

Vintage Witch image and Bingo 

card printed off my computer.

Twix or Treat Boo Bags.  

Boo Bags from SVG file over at 

My Scrap Chick, face is from a 

large Peachy Keen Face stamp.  

Twix printout from 

My Computer Is My Canvas blog.

Itty Bitty Witch Hat mini bags

Carolyn C. gave me the idea.  

There is a mini candy bar 

inside each one.  The hay is attached

 with a hidden mini clothespin.  

Chocolate Twizzler broomsticks.

Made using my Martha Stewart 

Fringe scisdors.

Bugs and Kisses

Baggie full of Hershey kisses 

and small plastic bugs.  I found the 

Bugs and Kisses printable on pinterest.

Printed it out and layered it onto bag headers.  Then stapled the bag shut.

Spooky Boo Bags

The striped baggies came from 

Target Dollar Spot.  The ghosts 

were cut using an SVG File from

 Kadoodle Bug Designs.  Then i used 

a small die and spoooky stamp

 for the little wording tag.

Here is a close up.

I also chalked her cheeks with pink

 chalk to make her look more girly.

Tombstone Boxes

These had 2 pieces of Peanut Buttter

 taffy inside.  The boxes were precut 

from the Target Dollar Spot.  I just

 glued the tabs together and added the 

embellishments to the top of each one.

Peppermint Patties scallopped cover

The scalloped images can be removed

 easily and added to a card, layout, etc. 

Mint Matchbox Covers

Used my Martha Stewart scoring board to create these.  I attached two white lifesaver mints using sticky glue dots.  Stamped the Boo Image and added eyeballs.

That's it for now... more to come.

Halloween Pocket Letters

Here are a few Halloween pocket letters that I mailed out this past week. I love making cutesy Halloween themed paper crafts.  

I didn't make near as many as I made last year.  But have been working on other Halloween paper crafts.  I'll post those on Monday.

I have really neglected the blog... going to try to post more often.  I have been very busy lately...

I signed up to be a coach for Fun Stampers Journey last summer during the KC Scrapbook Expo.  If you haven't checked out all the fun scrapbooking items that Fun Stampers Journey has to offer, you can check them out here: www.funstampersjourney.com/kccroppers  I would love to be your Fun Stampers Journey coach!

I started a local scrapbook group in June.  We meet up several times a month to crop.  If you are in the Kansas City, MO metro area and would like to join us, you can find us on facebook at: www.facebook.com/groups/NorthlandKCCroppers/ 

Our next crop will be on Halloween from Noon to 5 pm in Gladstone.

Halloween Pocket Letters

I'm quite a bit behind on posting.  Been away a lot, lately. But I did get time to make many Halloween pocket letters.  I had a lot of fun making them... and what was even more fun, receiving all the awesome Halloween  pocket letters from pl pals. When I get a chance, I'll post pics of some of the awesome pocket letters I have received from others.

Still could use your prayers as my Dad fights colon cancer. He needs a total of 12 chemo treatments.  He currently has 3 more to go.  Its been rough on him at times but he's a fighter. Recovery after each treatment seems to become more difficult and rough.  Thanks for your prayers!!

And now for my Halloween pocket letters...

Day 38 of 100 Day Blog Challenge - Itty Bitty Mini Album Swap

Here is the last of the Halloween projects!
     

Unlike, all the other projects, I did not 

create this one.  This is an Itty Bitty Mini 

Album that Betty from Mini Album Scraps group
made for me. We both participated in the swap last
 month.  She received my album (that I posted pics of

earlier last month) and I received her lovely album.
I was hoping to be able to add her blog addy here so
 you could swing by and send her some blog love but
 I can't get back into the Mini Album Scraps group bc
 they recently switched it over to a membership site.
 I refuse to pay for a scrapbook group when there are
 so many online for free of charge.  So unfortunately, I
couldn't find Betty's last name or blog address to give
her proper credit.  But I really appreciate the lovely
Halloween album she created and really enjoyed
 my time at Mini Album Scraps.ning participating
in several Itty Bitty Mini Album swaps.
