SEPTEMBER 100+ BLOG HOP

i hope you just arrived from Karey http://www.creativecraftcorner.com  if you didn't and came here by accident, welcome to my world.  if you'd like to start at the beginning of this hop.  here is Erica:  http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com

because of the upcoming 'HALLOWEEN' i chose these 3 carts to play around with:
OCTOBER 31st
HAPPY HAUNTING
PUMPKIN CARVING

i've decided not to include sizes as these pics are all arbitrary.  however, i may make a few suggestions along the way, as some cuts just don't work well under 4".  in particular, this mansion, which i adore from OCTOBER 31st.  one of my favorite layouts just waiting for 3 pictures.....in about 2 months.

...and my chief of staff and editor...

actually, 'boo boo' puts a hand in almost everything i do...he's such a loving little brat...(he's very lucky i like him)...anyway he likes to put his 'stamp of approval' on all my halloween stuff like this altered composition book i made with:  HAPPY HAUNTING.  these are fun and easy and very inexpensive to make.  this one is going to a special teen i my life.

my next cartridge i used:  PUMPKIN CARVING is a fun cart i use alot for embellishing my cards and layouts.  i haven't made too many halloween cards yet this year, but rather i chose to make magnets instead. 

i made orange and black, then black and orange.

i think these will make cute little 'treats' for the little goblins bags.

thank you for stopping by.  your next stop is Lezlye  http://lezlyes.blogspot.com  i  hope you've enjoy your visit. feel free to follow me and leave a comment.
