Happy Halloween!

Well, tonight's the night that my grandkiddies just love. Yes they are addicted to sugar and tonight they will score enough to keep them hyper for quite some time. lol They also love the dressing up part - almost as much as the candy!  I hope the weather cooperates for all of the little "Trick or Treaters", right now it is drizzling and windy, maybe it will clear a bit tonight.

Since I am a School Janitor I will be working tonight, so there will be no trick or treating at my house. Instead I make up Treat Bags for the neighbourhood kids and deliver them to their houses before I head off to work. This year I got these great Plaid Treat Bags at Michael's. They are brown & orange so you could use them for Thanksgiving Day as well! I found these wonderful Treat Bag Toppers free on line at  AnythingbutPerfect.com . I know that there are a lot of great bag toppers out there but I really liked these because they didn't use a lot of ink to print. They also printed 2 to a 81/2 x 11 sheet of cardstock.

 

So here is what is in store for the kiddies I know. I even got a few special treats for the Fur Babies in our family; Sassy ( a cute little Westie) and the latest addition to our family, Hunter (a sweet little tabby kitten).

I leave you with a couple of photos from a past Halloween and wishes for a safe and fun evening with your children.

Marshmallow Snowman

 

I can't believe it's Friday! This week has just flown by. Today is New Release Day at Meljen's Designs. This cute little Marshmallow Snowman is just one of cute images Melissa has come up with this week. Isn't he a cutie. Quick and easy to colour up too! Check out the other new images right here in her shop

I kept my card rather simple. I love the clean & simple look but have a real hard time achieving it. I tend to fill up all the spaces. even with this card I couldn't leave the white spots alone, I had to folder emboss them and add a bit of glitter to the snowflake centers! The circle was cut using a Spellbinder die. Added some pretty rick rack and a simple stamped sentiment.

Have a wonderful day and weekend.

hugs,

Nancy

Alanna's Fifth Halloween Card

 

Judging by the way Alanna has been making Halloween Cards I think it would be safe to say it is her favourite holiday. Between you & me, I think it has a little bit to do with candy being involved, lol. Yet another vice she has picked up fro her grandma,lol.

Alanna choose another cute image by Meljen's Designs to work with and lots of grandma's scraps.

Thanks for stopping by and for all the lovely comments.

hugs,

Alanna  Grandma

Third Halloween Card By Alanna

 

Well, Alanna ( age 10 ) has been at it again...creating a lot of really cute Halloween cards. She loves using Meljen's Designs images and colouring them with her Crayola markers. I'll be posting several of them in  a row because she would like to try her hand at entering a few challenges, and of course Grandma is more than willing to let her use my blog to show-case her work.

hugs,

Nancy (a.k.a.Grandma) & Alanna

Halloween Card

 

Another quick post to share with you a Halloween card I made using the Meljen's Designs image; Witchy Brew. I used copics to colour this cute image. Lots of fun Halloween papers on this one. Sentiment is computer generated. Added a bit of twine & a couple of orange metal tabs.

hugs,

Nancy
