Today is Halloween!! Yea! Are you going Trick or Treating?

 Wow it's week 12 of Monday Monster Mash Halloween Countdown, I guess all Good things must come to an end!  I spent the weekend with my friend Deanna and we made a few Halloween Cards, They are so Cute but....... Contraband alert!! I made a card that is not even 80 percent Stampin' Up. Yikes I am breaking my own rules. lol So I give you all a pass this week to break the same rule... Hee Hee Hee (my witch laugh)

Deanna and I went on a shopping spree before we made it to her house, and this Tim Holtz's Bird cage die is one of the things that Deanna got. The Black rhinestones are from SU clearence rack!! Yummy love them!

Do you want to Play along with the Monster Mash Blog Hop.?

5. Add your card to the blog hop then put the code on your post.

When you post my badge please add a few words about about the blog hop. I had to Delete a few entries last week because they did not follow any of rules so maybe mention that their are a few rules. Thanks :)

A cool close up of the bow I made, I showed Deanna this week how to do this bow and she added it to every card!!! lol

Of course the Crow is from the stamp set "Dark and Dreary" and all the Black and Vanilla paper is Stampin' Up.

I had to catch the Kingston / Edmond's Ferry to get to Deanna's house. While I was on that ride I seen these Zombies!!! AHHHHH  I did get a chance to talk to them (before they chewed some one's leg off ...lol ) and they were going to some run call the Zombie Run!! They were so real looking I just wished my boys could have been there to pose with them. I did not get their names but I do know that it is a Mother and Daughter (daughter in the black shirt). I told them you could not even tell their age with all the Zombie makeup on.

Here I told them to look real scary.... now that I see the photo, I am kind of scared!! lol The girls could not stop laughing and could not do the scary pose!! lol

I hope you all have a really fun Halloween!!

Here is a close up of the bow, I am going to have to show you how to make these bows in one of my posts. I used to work in a floral shop, it is kind of how they make them.

My Husband and I were drinking coffee in the living room and I looked out and seen this Giant boat. My Husband was all excited and got out his binoculars and it was a Schooner called "Adventuress". I wish it was a nicer day so the photo was better. It was so cool to watch. Then the same day we went to my Son Calvin's Teacher Conference and told her about it and she said that my Son's class will be going on a 3 Hour Tour (lol made me think of Gilligan's Island) on it later this year. Wow!! Is that cool or what!

Monday Monster Mash Halloween Count Down Week Eleven!!!

Hi Monster Mash fans!!

I was up late last night making this Band aid tin album. I was thinking Wow I am going to get this done and have my post up first thing in the morning.... but I was typing this post and falling asleep so I had to go to bed. lol

 I started to use some paper that was not current, but changed my mind and used the "Frightful Sight" DSP. I got out my Handy Dandy black spray paint out again, the tin is white and I sprayed the top of it black.

 

I have to say "it turned out so Stinkin Cute"!! I used a lot of the black rhinestones on the outside of the tin and on a few pages inside the album. I think I have 3 more of these tins I can't wait to  make them.

Do you want to Play along with the Monster Mash Blog Hop.?

Here are the rules:

1. It has to be Halloween, card or 3D item.
2. It does not have to be 100% SU 80% is ok.

I don't remember the Pants looking so Hot Pink when I painted them in!? Weird maybe it's the picture.

I cut out one of the Mustache pumpkins for Frankie to hold.

I just remembered that I needed to add the year of the photo's, that is 2008.

My Son Calvin in the little graveyard we made in the front yard for Halloween.

The Boys at the local Carnival. Levi has a Blondie wig on... lol He had found it at a yard sale for .50 cents and just could not wait to use it.

Levi and Calvin Carving Pumpkins.

Look at all the candy they got!!!! Wow!

The Album going into the band aid tin.

See it fits!! lol I used the "Zutter Bind it all" for the binding.

So next week is week 12 and its Halloween... lol I did not count my weeks right when I started my Hop. So I can't decide if I should pick a winner on week 12 or if you guys want to make ONE more project that week?

Then start a  Countdown to Christmas Hop?!

Leave me a Comment and tell me what you think!!

Jolly Bingo Bits for A La Card Monkey Challenge #79

I don't want any of you to go into shock, but I made a Christmas Card. lol I was thinking of using a Halloween Stamp Set to make a Christmas Card.... Now that would be funny. I was looking at all my Halloween Stamp Sets today thinking I might just go ahead and put them away. I did finish up a bunch of Halloween Card this morning and took them down to a shop that I have my cards in.... and guess what? I have 51 Halloween cards there. lol Wow

I love "Jolly Bingo Bits", but one problem with the Stamp set is that it's so hard to chose what image you want on your card. They are all so Darn Cute!!

At A La Card Monkey this week we have a cool Christmas theme sketch. If you want to look at the rest of the card by Terry Su and the Guest Design Team Click Here.

Spooky Hall-o-weenie Stamping Event at my Home

I had a big Halloween Stamping Event this last Saturday. I told everyone that it was twenty dollars for the event, unless they brought food or a Make and Take Ten dollars off for each. Some people brought both some only food. So we ended up with 10 Make and Takes to do and a ton of food, it was 3 to 4 hours of Girly Fun!

The Party started with my cat Vickie stealing some of the ribbon from a make and take. Every time I have ribbon out she is all ready to play, and if I don't play she jumps on my desk and takes the whole spool of ribbon and runs off. This is a picture of here after she has played with it a little and wants me to play now... lol

Michelle was stamping and Vickie jumped up on the table and was watching her stamp, so I got out this little bed for her to sit next to Michelle... and guess what she was there all night with her!! lol You can see that Michelle just got done with my Witch Card.

 

This is Jenn and Amber Having a good time, Jenn is putting the witch hat from Kim's jar on her head... Funny Girl!

This is Jenn's make and take, really cute frankie and frankette.

 I used "Spooky Bingo Bits" and "Out on a Limb" on this card. 

 

We also made the Card I used for this weeks Monday Monster Mash Blog Hop. It was a big hit. I ran out of black paper doing this event, I used a whole pack of black paper in less then a month!! Gee's

We also made the Card I did this week for A La Card Monkey. When I cut it out I gave everyone a choice of different paper from the DSP "Frightful Sight". Plus they could put glitter where ever they wanted!! lol

Here is a close up of the glitter Mustache... so stinkin' Cute!

Here is a spooky treat that I did as a make and take. I seen the idea on Mary Jo's Blog, and just had to do a version for my Event. That cute little boo stamp is from last year and is retired now.... but does he look like a Ghost Peep or what!!! The word stamp is from "Grateful Greetings" 2011-2012 Catalog.

This is another one of my make and takes. I used this one on Inkspirations challenge blog this week, I just loved the sketch they had, and made my card using it.

This is Teresa's make and take. She used the "Piece of Poison" stamp set that is in the 2011 Holiday Mini. The spiders on top are kids Halloween spider rings.

Thanks for coming by my blog!!
