Halloween treat boxes

I made 21 of these little treat boxes for my son's class.

Using my gypsy of course I designed a page for the black boxes using TBM cart. Also used TBM for the purple tags. Happy Halloween font is from WC. The pumpkins are from GW. Very simple and easy to make of course with my Gypsy, came in super handy in desgining and arranging to fit and feel the page. The little boxes are filled with mini m&m's snickers twix and 3 muskeeters.

My little storybook character

Can you guess what storybook character my son is?

Since most schools don't allow children to dress up for Halloween. They did get to wear and participate in activites for drug free week at there school. Friday the kids could come dressed as a storybook character of there choice. So what do you think does he look like Paul Bunyan?

My Gypsy girl

Here is my Gypsy all dressed up and ready to go wherever I go!
Tucked in nice in snug in her sleeve to help protect her.

Dressed in her finest sleeve, pink bling!

I made a little something special for her stylet. A string of pink swarvorski crystals with a silver cross charm.

50 b-day pop up card

My uncle turned 50 this past week and we celebrated with him at his party last night!

I used Mickey and Friends cart and Mickey Font for the images on this card. I cut Mickey out at 4" with all his accessories. I welded the letters together on DS. I embossed white card stock with cuttelbugs Happy Birthday embossing folder.

Up close of Mickey
I used Mickey because I thought it would bring him back to his childhood years.

I popped up the #50 cut with Mikey Font at 5". Oh My is cut at 4" and Mickey's head is cut at 3". Added some doodling with a black marker.

This was my first time at a pop up card and it turned out great and it was much easier than I thought.

Football tags

My life has been over ran by football season. I had snack duty for this weeks game. I started on the tags a couple of weeks ago because I was making 34 of them. I'm such a procrastinator that I knew if I didn't start early I would be pulling my hair out trying to finish them. lol

So sure enough I finished stuffin and tying all the bags on Friday evening for Saturday's game.

I cut the tags at 4" with tags,bags and more cart.Used the shadow feature for the green. The text on the tags were computer generated with green font and printed on white card stock and cut with tag feature at 4". I cut the Football helmet and the flag with sports mania cart, I believe at 2 1/2". The P was cut with base camp at 1".

All 34 finished treat bags! Phew!

Close up of finished bags

I filled the bags with rice crispy treats, m&m's, and an apple and added a hand full of shredded scrap paper for a filler. I'm glad I did these special little tags my son's team had there first lose at yesterdays game against the Cowboys 12-0. So these treats gave them something to smile about after there hard played game.
