Throwback Thursday: Hallo-Scream Card!

Are you an "any occasion is the perfect occasion for a card" type person or are you more of the "birthday and maybe Christmas you get a card" type?  Well, you know what type I am and even if you're more the "birthday and maybe Christmas" type, you may just change your mind when you see this delight Halloween Card I made for my kids.

Growing up, my mom put together a collection of cards that I received throughout my life.  Birthdays, holidays, special events; you name it, they are all there.  I treasure this collection of sentiments from family members and friends; some whom have passed on.  I am currently working on doing the same thing for my kids and trying to commorate each occasion with some card-like memento that will (hopefully) be treasured for years to come.

With that, let me share my Throwback Thursday card and we're gonna throw it way back to a stamp set called "Fang-tastic" (I want to say this was from circa 2010!).  If you have this set, you know the utter adorableness this set creates.  If you don't, well, then, you may have to scour the internet to find it, because it's totes adorbs.

Here's my card:


Eek!  I paired this stamp set with the At Home With You Bundle (includes: At Home With You Photopolymer Stamp Set and At Home Framelits for 10% off!!) as well as the Brick Wall Embossing Folder to create a duo of Trick-or-Treaters and their trusty little kitty side-kick.  Clearly, one will guess that my daughter and my son are the little Witch and Vampire and our beloved Smokie Cat is next to his little sister, like always.  The pumpkin inside the wreath is also from the Fang-tastic Stamp Set.

The At Home With You Bundle is so super amazing!  It's the perfect foundation for building a scene---especially a Trick or Treating scene, right!?  I mean, I just adore how these two sets created a perfect and super fun Halloween Scene!  Don't you?  All the fussy-cutting was truly a labor of love, but when you do what you love, you love what you do; even the fussy-cutting!

Here's what I used for this card:

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this creation!

Tutorial Tuesday: Strawberry Pie

I am a little bit sad that Sale-A-Bration 2018 is coming to a close this month.  Stampin' Up! has had some amazing products to give away this year and I have seen some really creative uses for extending their life! Erica Cerwin of Pink Buckaroo Designs is no exception!  I saw her use the  Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder  and make a pie card!  It was so stinking cute, that I just had to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) it and share my interpretation with my Papercrafting Passionista Friends!  PS: The Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder is a FREE Sale-A-Bration item!!!  So you can get this adorable embossing folder with a $100 purchase (it's a part of the Blossoming Basket Bundle, which is a $100 Reward) and  the embossing folder is carrying over to the new 2018-2019 Annual Catalog!  So you'll be a step ahead of the new products!  Wow! Here's what I used to make this sweet card: Supply List: Fruit Basket Bun

Top 10 Tuesday: 12 Days of Christmas Movies

Well, so instead of a Top 10, I'm changing it to a Top 12!  Because I love The Twelve Days of Christmas and I love Christmas movies and why not combine both together to make it 12 Days of Christmas Movies!?  I suppose we each all have our own opinions as to what Christmas Movies are *must-haves* on our Watch List, but I would like to think there are some that just generally required, by public agreement.  So, here's my Top 12 Days of Christmas Movies List, complete with a FREE Printable so you can make this a Holiday Bucket List Item, if you'd like!  I'd love to hear if your favorite movie made the cut or not! OH---and one more thing---these movies are certainly not listed in an specific order, they are more in the order in which I may or may not have already watched them... (#SorryNotSorry!) 12.  The Santa Clause (1994) When this movie first came out, I was totally entranced by the interpretation of the North Pole, courtesy of Disney Magic, that I almost bel

Tutorial Tuesday: Fold Over Gift Box

Happy Tuesday, Everyone!  I hope that your week is going well!  Can you believe that August is half-way over??  I have seen lots of Social Media posts about kids already going back to school; the kids in my area go back next week!  Eek!  I imagine that means that there's a lot of last minute shopping, meal-planning, and organization happening for many households.  (Or all households, really.  I mean, everyone has shopping, meal-planning, and organization to do!) Well, I'd like to share with you a quick and easy 3D project that you may be able to utilize for this busy Back-to-School Rush!  I shared it with a group of ladies a couple weeks ago at a Crop Event and it was huge hit! This multi-purpose Gift Box is super versatile!  You can use it if you want to present your kiddo's new teacher with a little summin'-summin' to start the year off, as a special way to present a home-baked cookie treat to a loved one in their lunchbox, or if you need a vessel to hold some
