Hi!
Sorry about the lack of creativity for the last several days. There just wasn’t enough time in the day to get it all done. But here is a cute project that I made for a scrapbook retreat I went to on Saturday. This was one of the Make & Takes that they could create at my table. The other was the 6×6 scrapbook page I showed last week.
This was inspired from an email advertisement that came from one of those craft stores. And this was a quick and easy project to make.
Whisper White card stock – 8-1/2″ long and 3-1/2″ wide. Score at 4″, 6″, 10″ (that should be right – you can adjust to make the base smaller if you want). The top flap is punched with the scallop border punch and stamped with the bats from Googly Ghouls. Add a strip of the Houndstooth & Herringbone Designer Series paper on the side. First I stamped the Boooo on the bottom of the front panel then punched with the wide oval punch. Add googly eyes on top. Fill a cello bag with candy (I did use the small cello bags that Stampin’ Up! used to sell – I’m not sure why we stopped carrying the smaller sized bag) then staple the bag between the front and back and the flap over the top. I even had Orange staples!
Gotta go….

10/7/2012 UPDATE – I am updating what has sold and what is pending plus adding more items – all the updates can be seen on the page Retired Stamps for Sale – click here.
I am working on pricing and tagging retired items for sale. I will be taking them all to a consignment sale next week but thought I would go ahead and offer them here on my blog. If you are interested in any of these items please email me and be prepared to send me payment via PAYPAL (you can send it to my email address through paypal) by Monday night (10/8/2012). Those that are not local will be asked to send a second payment for the cost of the shipping – I will have to see how much that is based on what you are getting and where you live and if I have a box/envelope that it will fit in or need to purchase something. I only ship to US addresses so if you don’t live in the US please don’t reply. I had hoped to have these ready sooner so it wouldn’t be such a short window but I have been very busy and it just didn’t happen.
If you have a specific question about an item please email and I will try to answer. Most everything is used/opened. I have many more stamp sets still to add but that may not be until Sunday so I hope to have another blog post on Sunday with those. This is what I have so far –

Oct 4, 2012 | Create with Connie & Mary, Embossing, Halloween, Scrapbook Pages |
One of the problems with going away is that you loose track of the days and then it takes a few days to get back into a routine. Luckily I checked my calendar Monday night or I would have missed my dentist appointment on Tuesday – I thought I still had another day before I had to go. I still need to go look at all of last week’s creations – I haven’t caught back up since I was gone from Thursday through Sunday for the Getaway Trip. And Monday and Tuesday I was gone to various appointments finally a couple of days at home so I can get myself back together – I don’t like being disorganized – but I really am right now. 
On to better things – at least I did remember this! It’s time for this weeks Create with Connie & Mary weekly challenge! This week is a new sketch CCMC221 – and I think this is a good one. I started thinking of lots of different things to do with this sketch but I didn’t have time to implement them all for this challenge. I do plan to go back though and use this one again!
For now I decided to use this one for a 6×6 Halloween Scrapbook Page. I think a My Digital Studio page would be cute too, or a card, or a framed piece, and more…..
Here is my little layout. I actually want to add this to a 12×12 layout and include the rest of my photos but I haven’t had a chance to do that yet nor did I decide what the rest of the layout would look like. I’m headed to a scrapbook crop on Saturday and I may let them do this as a Make ‘n Take project if they visit my table – what do you think?
I had to dig deep for a good Halloween photo – it has been a while since all the boys have dressed up – this may have been the last year that Kyle wore a costume – this is from 2005. He isn’t actually in this group picture but I did get an individual picture of him – that’s part of the reason I want to include this on a larger layout so I can add the boys individual photos that I do have.
Did you see the news about Stampin’ Up! selling some of the stamps individually out of the stamp sets? Well the Happy Halloween that I used on this layout is one of them that you can buy all by its little ol’ self. I’m excited to hear what everyone thinks about the idea. Stampin’ Up! is trying it out on three of the greeting stamp sets and I guess they will evaluate the results towards the end of the year to decide if they want to continue once January gets here.
Stampin’ Up! Supplies:
- Card Stock: Basic Black, Very Vanilla
- Accessories: Tangerine Tango Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Houndstooth and Scaringbone Designer Series Paper, Silver Stampin’ Dazzle Marker
Visit Create with Connie & Mary and submit your creation for this weeks challenge – each week 3 top creations are selected. Each challenge is open for a week. Have you been enjoying all the holiday creations at the online 2012 Create Class – the final week is here – but it’s not to late to join – there are some really fun projects!
