I decided to make some Halloween goodies for the ladies for our Wednesday card night.  I am so blessed to have such wonderful friends.  We all have so much fun just laughing, crafting and of course eating!

I gave them water bottles covered with theses Bone Appetite covers.  

The stamp set Bone appetite is from Recollections.
The witch is a punch and the skeleton is from memory box.  

I  bought a bag of Chocolate candies and covered them
 in scrap Halloween paper, added some ribbon and Halloween die cuts.

I used a  Cuttlebug die cut to cut out all the ghost, bats etc. 

These are Mini Microwave popcorn.  Dee can't have Chocolate
so I made these for her instead.  

 I made some pumpkin dip for a BBQ a few weeks ago.  It
was a big hit so I made some for the ladies on Wednesday night.
Everyone wanted the recipe so scroll to the bottom for the details.

If you have ever had a Starbucks pumpkin pie latte that is what this taste like. 

Pumpkin Dip
Ingredients

·         1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened

·         2 cups confectioners' sugar

·         1 can (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin

·          1 to 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice (depending on your taste)

·         1 teaspoon vanilla extract
             

Directions

In mixer beat cream cheese and confectioners' sugar.  Gradually add the pumpkin, pie spice, vanilla; beat until smooth.  Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour. Can be made up to 24 hours ahead of time. Serve with fresh fruit, bite-size cinnamon graham crackers, gingersnap cookies, pretzels or toasted bagels.  Refrigerate leftovers.  

*You can also add cool whip to make it lighter and creamer. 

Have a good weekend!!

 We had a wonderful time making our cards last night at the Wednesday Ladies Card Night.  Dee made some delicious vegetable soup for us.  It was so good.  I made some pumpkin dip and I will share the recipe here on my blog tomorrow.  These are the wonderful cards the ladies created.

Heather's Card
This card is all about the paper.  Beautiful card.

 Renee's Card
A Sassy witch from CTMH stamp set. 

Wow!  What great paper she used.

Debbie's Card
Look how great those wheels look.  We distressed them with ink
and added some bronze liquid ink to add a rustic look. (can't remember
what type of liquid ink it was) It really added to the card. 

Dee's Card
We used Washi tape to make this cool card.  I just loved it.  We learned
how to make some of the tape homemade.  It was so easy and fun.
  I am HOOKED on Washi tape!!

This is my card.
The ladies had to color the pretty little witch and they were
able to pick their own paper.   Not sure who made which card
but they all came out so cute!

 

Hope you enjoyed the cards as much as we enjoyed making them.  Marti hope you feel better soon!!  Have a magical day today.  Thanks for stopping by and sharing our Ladies Card night!!!

Happy FALL Wednesday to you!!    I know I am stuck on FALL, FALL, FALL and you are probably tired of seeing my FALL cards, so today here is a Christmas card!!  Yeah!!  This week I received the CTMH October Stamp of the Month (SOTM) and decided to use it.  All the stamping is done with the SOTM.  Make sure you scroll to the bottom to see what the stamp set looks like. 

On the white CS I cut out the oval in the middle and then embossed it using the
new SU embossing folder.  (it's a beautiful design)  With the white CS laying on
the red card I put a dot where I was going to stamp the  "Merry Christmas". I
removed the white CS and stamped the saying then attached the white CS to the card.

 I added the flowers, ribbon and pearls to give it color. 

Inside of the card

Bling was added along with a glitter to make it really pop out. 

Gift tags 

This pink ribbon/lace was from the Bessie store.  

This ribbon was from Walmart after Christmas sale last year. 

I really like this stamp set. 

Here is the October SOTM.  For those of you who have the Circut Artiste Cartridge all of the images can be cut out using your Circut. What great tags you can make for Christmas. 

You can purchase this for $17.95 or spend $50.00 in product, (before tax and shipping) you get the stamp for only $5.00. 

Tonight the ladies are getting together to do cards. Yeah!!  So check back tomorrow to see what we have created.  Have a colorful FALL day!!

 Today's card is made using a Sizzix embossing folder.  Very simple and easy card to make. After embossing the card stock I used a sanding block to sand over the image to bring out the white core of the paper. I punched out the yellow circle and added some orange ink to give it a moon glow look. I attached the witch to give it more of a Halloween card.

You could do a lot with this embossing folder.  You could add  a owl or
cat sitting on the fence.  Some birds in the tree.  Add colored leaves or
sponge some color on the pumpkins.  It's a fun embossing folder.

Our Church had their annual Fiesta so I made these cakes for the cake walk.
  I used punches to make my usual favorite tops for the cakes.  I added
Halloween sprinkles and candy corn.

Hope your day is filled with sugar and spice and everything nice!!!

My Mother-in-law told me about this store that sold flowers and lace at a cheap price.  Oh My! It is like a candy store.  I asked the lady if I could take pictures so I could share with all of you.  She sells everything by the yard, .29 cents to $1.89 depending on what you buy.   Some of the ribbon is sold by the spool. 

This section was her flowers.  For some reason none of my pictures
were in focus.  This is the only one that came out some what decent.

Outside her store
For those of you in Albuquerque she is located on
South Coors and Central across from the Samons.

These are the FALL flowers I  bought.

This is the card I made using one of the ribbon/lace I purchased.

It's beautiful ribbon.  I added the peals to make it more elegant.
It would be fabulous on a Wedding card.

Hope you have a awesome week!!!
