Halloween Baking

We decided to have a small Halloween party at our home (I made those cute door hanger invitations a few posts back) this past weekend.  I did not have time to make any decorations or goodie bags for the party since I was doing this for the kids at school but I did get to make some cupcakes.  I did two quick and easy decorations for the cupcakes so I thought I would share those :) 

Here is the mummy (cutest mummy ever right, LOL):

Here is the spider web (covered a bunch of cupcakes in icing and then drew on the spider web and added a fake spider :)

I am not a star cake decorator but they worked for us :)

I am not up late finishing up goodie bags for the boys classes and teachers...hope I don't look like a zombie tomorrow, even if it is Halloween :)

Halloween Goodie Bags for Preschoolers and Teachers :)

Hello.  I saw these adorably decorated crayon boxes over on a My Creative Time designer's (Cathryn) blog http://inthepinkcathryn.blogspot.com/2011/07/my-creative-times-july-stamp-release.html back in July and immediately bought the stamp set with the intentions of doing this (a similar version of it) for my daughter's preschool class.  Then a couple of weeks ago I was in Target and saw cute little Halloween notepads in the $1 section (6 in a pack) so I bought those also.  I decided this week to put them in with the crayons to make a goodie bags...of course that meant I needed toppers.  I also decided to make some goodie bags for her two teachers using an idea I had seen around on Pinterest and other sites. 

Here are the bags for the kids:  For the crayons I used the My Creative Time all around Halloween set, some plain paper from AC Moore and some patterned paper from K&Co.  For the bag toppers I used Art Philosophy to cut the square in 2 sizes, then I scored it in the middle.  On the top layer I added stitching via gelly roll pens, either a ghost from Paper Doll Dress-up or a pumpkin from Create a Critter.  Of course they needed a cute little Peachy Keen face :)  I printed the names all one piece of card stock on the computer then cut out using the center point feature and one of the cute tags on Art Philosphy.  I then used the Happy Halloween sentiment from my Pink by Design Guess Who set to add the sentiment.  Lastly, I used the bonus stamp that came with Septembers new order stamps from My Creative Time on the back of the bags :)

 

Here are the bags for the teachers:  I used the same process for the bag toppers as above but I printed the sentiment on orange paper first, then cut the square using Art Philosophy.  I then cut the ghosts from Paper Doll Dress-up and used some cute Peachy Keen faces on them.   I plan to make some of these for my office staff as well this weekend for Monday.

I hope the kids and teachers enjoy their goodie bags!  TFL!

Cooking with Cricut Weekly Challenge: Scarecrows, Hay, Crows and Sketches

Hello everyone. Today is Scarecrow, Hay, Crows AND Sketches Challenge Day over at Cooking with Cricut! For this weeks challenge I  used a scarecrow (scaregirl) and the card sketch to make a card for my friend who always calls everyone pumpkin!  We do not get to talk much except via social media from time to time so I wanted to send her a card and I thought this was the perfect time to do it!

Here is the sketch:

Here is my card:

I used the Scarecrow Girl on Pumpkin Digital Stamp from http://www.papercraftingworld.com/, then I cut out a pumpkin from Create a Critter, gave him a cute Peachy Keen face and added a cute blingy vine from Recollections glitter tape.  The sentiment is from the Pink by Design Guess Who stamp set (seriously I have gotten my monies worth out of that set)!  I cut some patterned paper, some purple paper, put it on black cardstock, inked some edges and it came together!  I know she will love the card.

Now it's your turn! I hope you will head on over to Cooking with Cricut to enter your project! TFL.


Have a crafty day!

My Creative Time Design Team Call

Hello.  I have decided to take a chance at the design team call for My Creative Time, I think my work is a bit subdued or simple compared to their current design team who are totally awesome but I thought I would give it a try anyway :)  I made this card using their Game Night set.  The card is for my mom.  She loves bingo and cards so this set showing a lucky winner on both the bingo (by adding bling) and the cards (added some stickles) shows her how lucky we are to have her!  I think she will love it.  I plan to give it to her along with the cheesey gifts we brought her back from Florida.  I used Art Philosophy for the stars, I used the center cut feature after I printed the sentiment out from my computer.  I also embossed and inked my white background sheet.   I added some ribbon and bling and there it is!  TFL.

CookingwithCricut.com "Adopt A Shelter Pet” Hop!

Welcome to WorkingScrappinMomof4 and the CookingWithCricut.com “Adopt A Shelter Pet” Hop!  October is National Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, but we wanted to honor and celebrate all of our furry friends! If you've come from visiting Elizabeth at  http://ejoym.blogspot.com/, you're in the right place! If you've just happened across my blog and would like to hop along with us, you can go to CookingWithCricut.com and start at the beginning.

For this blog hop (my first one EVER) I made a "doggie bag" (haha) to give to a four-legged pal of my sons bestfriend (we actually do not have any pets, maybe once my children are older and can help take care of one we will venture into pet ownership).

I cut the bag at fit to page from Art Philosophy (have I talked about how AMAZING this cartridge is?).  I then cut the brown square-4 also from Art Philosophy and added a cute doggie digital stamp from http://www.papercraftingworld.com/.  I hand cut it out after printing it on card stock and used a corner rounder on the edges.  I then lightly inked the edges and attached it to the square-4 cut.  I used a gold pen to add "stitching" to the brown square-4 frame.  After attaching it to the bag I decided to cut out some dog bones.  I used the Mickey Font cartridge for this cut.  I did 4 bones to attach to the handles at 1 1/4 inches.  I stamped the sentiment My Favorite Buddy from Pink by Design's October Stamp of the Month club set.  I also embossed the bones and lightly inked their edges.  I then cut, embossed and attached several smaller bones (3/4 inches) around the bag.  I bought a small dog bone to go in the bag.  I think Max will love it :)

 

Since this is my very FIRST blog hop ever I am offering up a prize seperate from the overall CookingwithCricut prize.  What can you win?????  Well, I just LOVE Pink by Design stamps.  I have used them a ton for Halloween goodies this year and as I mentioned above I used their October Stamp of the Month for the sentiment on my project today.  Sarah (PinkCricut) over at Pink by Design is being super generous by sponsoring my giveaway with the same stamp set I used for todays project as a prize to one lucky blogger!    Can you believe it?  They are awesome over there, great customer service and great products!

Thanks for all you do

A friend of mine is serving over in Iraq and I FINALLY got around to making him a care package and a card.  I just wanted something simple.  I used Art Philosophy (yes, I do own other cartridges, LOL).  I cut the stars and the star/circle thingy they are on in two sizes,  I then embossed the red star with more stars.  I used a cheapy $1 thanks stamp I had.  I wrote a personal message inside thanking him and his fellow soldiers for all they do, we are lucky to have them protecting us.  TFL.
