Happy Friday ~ Treats for my Sweet!

Hi Paper Players!  So sorry this is late!  I've been working longer than normal hours and trying to get new pretties added to my Boutique!  Well I finally had a moment to add BUTTONS and FLOWERS!!!  Doing something fun this holiday weekend?  I don't have anything planned, at least not yet, so I'll consider all invites!  hehehe

Anyway, I wanted to share this Halloween card.  Even though I love summer, I really LOVE FALL!  Which is kind of funny since in the bay area, we really don't have a huge fall season.  It's basically HOT one day and cold the next, leaves just fall off with little turning.  And that doesn't even happen sometimes till Halloween!  I dream of visiting a place where all leaves turn beautiful shades of yellows, oranges, and reds!  Ok, I'm making it sound like we don't have any of that, we do just not like the Midwest and east coast.

 

 

I covered the candy with the precut stickerz.

EAD Monday Hop!

Hi!

I hope your week is starting great!  I'm so excited to tell you that I'm now part of the fun and fabulous EAD Design Team!  I can hardly believe it myself!  Last week was pretty exciting with Erin from erin lee creative asking me to do some sneak peeks for her new paper line and then Emily with EAD Designs asking me to join!  I've been on cloud nine since!  EAD Designs has awesome "stickerz" and vinyl wall art, so many different designs to choose from! 

So on to the hop...the theme for this month is Lovin Touchin Squeezin...please start at the begining at Court's blog.  Court is a guest designer for the month of February, you will just love what she does!  If you got here from Lauren of Lauren's Creative then you haven't missed a beat!

I made this card with EAD Oh La La Stickerz and lots of welding on my gypsy to make the cupboard.  I got the idea of the cupboard from Bug Junkie.   The  following Cricut Cartridgeswere used to create the cupboard, Sentiments, Heritage, PlantinSchoolbook and Cherry Limeaid.  The banner is made with Carousel Cricut Lite Cartridge and stamped with Scrappy Moms Stamp ~ Love Notes

Your next stop will be Amy T

Thank you to Emily at EAD Designs for this fabulous opportunity!
