Happy Halloween!

Hope you have a haunting day!  I know I've been MIA for the past two weeks.  Life has been busy is a bit of an understatement.  It would probably be quicker to post the things we haven't been doing the past month...it would be a much shorter list.  But it's been GREAT!  Wishing you a Happy Halloween!  Check back tomorrow for the November's news!

Halloween Bag

This is another size of our fabulous cello bags.  These are 3"x5" bag.  To add something to the bag, I rolled this wheel on the white staz-on pad and then wheeled it on the bag.  You have to do it carefully so it doesn't smear.  It's so fun to add a little something extra!  The topper is cut out with the Big Shot using the Top Note die and then embossed with the spider web embossing folder and spritzed with the Shimmer Paint Mist (shimmer paint mixed with rubbing alchol and spritzed).  It's so sparkley!!!

Pumpkin Cookie Treat Holder

At last night's technique night, we tried out the new cookie stamps.  I made the sugar cookie dough recipe that comes in the package (and you really must use REAL butter....it makes all the difference in the taste of your cookies :).  After making two pans of just regular "white" sugar cookies, I dyed the dough orange and kept on baking the pumpkin cookies!  How cute is this cookie all packaged up?
