Halloween Treat Bags for the Kids

I made these little cuties for my daughters class Halloween party.

I used the Ghost peeker & lollipop from Designs on Cloud 9's Booville Pattern set.

I got the little black paper bags from AC Moore & I had my daughter write Boo! on all of them.

Good for practicing her writing. (She is in 1st grade)

I also made these for her to give out. All the kids in the class are taking the 100 book challenge so I thought what a better thing for reading then a book mark. I designed them in MyMemories Suite Digital Software, personalized for each kid & used the .png file from Designs on Cloud 9's Bookworm set. I printed them all out, cut, laminated and finished them off with a little ribbon.

If you are interested in some Digital software, I have a $10 discount off of the already low price of $39.97 & $10 for some digital goodies. You get the software and $10 in goodies for just $29.97... just use my code on my side bar - top right (the picture will take you directly to where you need to purchase the software)

Project for the kids

Hi there, just wanted to share a little project I did with My Memories Suite Software and .png files from Design on Cloud 9.

I decided since the kids in my daughters class are all learning to read and have taken on the 100 book challenge that I would make them each their own personal book marks. So I designed them using the MyMemories software added the png from the Bookworm collection from Designs on Cloud 9, cut them. laminated them and added a ribbon to each & whala!!!

My Memories software can do more than just digital scrapbook pages. If your interested in purchasing your own software use my link & PROMO code at the upper right hand side of my blog. Software & $10 in digital goodies for only $29.97.

Halloween Rosette Wreath ~ DT project

So I saw a beautiful paper creation on a facebook post and thought to myself "Oh I need one of those in a Halloween theme for my in home Halloween Decor... so this is what I came up with

Started making the rosettes (aren't they so pretty?!!)

Applied them to a cardboard ring that I cut and covered with cardstock (otherwise you may see the naked cardboard through some spaces that do not get totally covered) Looks pretty as is!

Then I applied my Halloween Cupcake topper files ~ from DesignsonCloud9.com ~to the large rosettes ... I added some punches from a Blog candy win from last year, some "skittles", a few buttos and a ribbon to hang it & WHALA a fun Halloween decoration!
