Halloween Card and Postcard 2010

This year, I was going for simple and sweet for my Halloween greetings.  I succeeded for the most part and here is what I came up with:

A very simple card using black and green cardstock.  I got the stickers at WalMart and used some spider confetti I had and along with some ribbon I found at ACMoore.  I made an envelope out of orange cardstock using the Martha Stewart score board (a very useful tool!!).

I made this little saying up.  It's not Hallmark...but it works!

I found this stamp at Hobby Lobby!  Now I can make postcards so easy!  Love it!

For this postcard, I just stamped the frog and didn't ink his crown.  Then, I free hand cut a hat out of black cardstock and some craps of silver paper I had.  I followed the shape of the witches hat from the WalMart witch stickers I found (above).

Not too bad, eh?

Happy Crafting!

Grown Up Halloween Mini Album!

I did have some fun finishing this up...but it took longer than I thought!  I'm not as creative when it comes to spooky and scary minis. My career is in forensics and I was having issues with this? I guess it's just a different when it's not work. LOL Hope you enjoy!

Odds and ends

This is the "haul" that I got over a few days of major coupon shopping.  Here's a tip:  Michael's accepts competitors coupons.   Being the largest craft store, their selection and prices are often far superior, so you can find items and get a great deal!  Happy shopping!

Scrappy Christmas Card

I found a whole bunch of scraps from a Christmas crop I did last year and decided to put them to good use!  This card is *really* easy and you probably have all the stuff you need already.

Un-dead Fred

This is the first zombie!  It took me about an hour to put him together including the sewing.  I chose parts from a few patterns and changed him a bit, but the result is one creepy looking little dude!  Fun!

I went on a shopping spree of sorts over the last few days and I picked up the paper that I'm using in the background for this picture.  It's from the Martha Stewart holiday paper collection in 'vampire'.  I might post a haul video on youtube so you'll be able to see all the goodies.  This paper collection is probably my favorite find though!  Two Peas in a Bucket.com had it here...but, Michaels had it on sale too, so if you're near one be sure to check them out.  So many good sales going on right now...hard to resist!
