BOO! Scrapbook Page

This is the last craft we made at the Halloween craft night. And I apologize for the poor quality picture.
I can't wait to dress my daughters in their costumes. I will have to finish this scrapbook page once I have a picture of them dressed up and the journaling complete as well. The Rich Razzleberry square is for the picture and the Whisper White is for the journaling.

Here is a close up of the cute witch on her broom. It's interesting how many questions my older 2 daughters have about all the witches, ghost, and monsters they see during this occasion.

We also made this treat baggie at the last craft night as well. These baggies are in the Holiday Mini Catalogue, it's the 1 x 8 Cellophane Bags. You get 50 for $3.25 CAN.

Trick or Treat Banner!

This cute little banner is one of the items we made at the last craft night. I wanted to do some Halloween decorating this year but need to make sure that it's not scary.

Unfortunately this banner will not be up for very long as we are moving this Friday.

Grateful...

For the month of September we focused on the Thanksgiving/Fall theme. Fall is my favourite season of the year. I love all the leaves changing colours and I love a lawn full of fallen leaves.

On this card we used the Stampin' Pastels. I have to say this was my first time using them and I love the way this image looks. Other ways of colouring your images are the Stampin' Write Markers, Watercolour Wonder Crayons, Watercolour Pencils, and Blender Pen or Aqua Painter with our ink pads. Each way of colouring gives your image a different look.
