Fun Sized Halloween Treats

Happy Halloween!

We have school today, so I hope the kids are ready to learn and have no plans to play any tricks. If they do...no treats for them! Eeek! I am super excited to give these out at the end of the day to each of my students...they really are a great bunch. I found all the fun sized treats at Michaels this past Saturday for 70% off. What a deal! Notepads, pumpkin erasers, and bubble wands.

I cut all the 3" tags from the Plantin School Cricut cartridge. First, I cut the shadow in black and then the regular tag in white. The crackled background stamp is from Jaded Blossom ~ Halloween Paint Splatters set.  I stamped the sentiment from Jaded Blossom's Halloween Treats 2 in orange ink and then again in black. The mini black bats are from a Martha Stewart edge punch.

Purple Haze organza ribbon and orange/white twine for a bow 

I made 20 treats bags, which are all stuffed and ready to be given out.

Challenges:

PDE ~ Anything but a Card

Hiding in My Craft Room ~ Freestyle

Little Scrap Pieces ~ Show It Off Saturday

My Sheri Crafts ~ Creepy Crawly

Hope you have a spook-tacular day!

Witching You Tons of Treats

Hello Crafty Friends,

Welcome back and thanks for stopping by. We have Trail Day at school, which is an entire day of collaboration for my grade level while the students travel to special areas. They have art, music, media, STEM, and computer time. Hoping to get lots accomplished as they are learning through fun activities!  Today I am also sharing the new challenge at Paper Play Sketches.

This Week's Challenge...

Here is my Design Team project...

I thought I'd make another Halloween card and the gold and black paper by Recollections called out to me.  I wish I knew who the witch's hat die cut was by...I couldn't find which company it was by in my collection. Anyone know? 

This stamped sentiment is by Inky Antics. I bought the Halloween Witch stamp set at Michaels last year. Didn't see much of a selection this year, but I am glad I had this one!

Be sure to visit  so you can see the other Design Team's creations. 

Now, I hope you will  join us this week for the Paper Play Sketch challenge.

Thanks again for stopping by!

Boo! It's Almost Halloween!

Hello Everyone,

Happy Monday! Today we have Teacher In-Service Day and the students are enjoying some time off. Yes, I am a little jealous! I should have taken the day off too, so I could enjoy some time with my pup...just like this one! Well, I don't actually dress up my dog for Halloween, but she still is a cutie. : )

I used the Chibi Puppy Witch by SVG Cutting Files and cut the pieces on my Cameo. The stamped sentiment is by Jaded Blossom ~ Halloween Treats 2 set. The little pennant is by We R Memory Keepers ~ 7 piece metal die set from Amazon.

Classic Halloween colors to add a little fright to the night.

I used the following sketch from Sunday Stamps.

This little Dracula is a sticker I found in my stash. I stamped the inside with  "Happy Fright Night" ~ Jaded Blossom Halloween Treats 2 set. 

Hoping to get some new, fresh ideas from training today...staying positive! Looking forward to after school though, so I can finish a couple projects I have on the craft table!

Have a fabulous day!

Stay Creative,

Happy Sunday!

The storm has passed and we have cleaned up all the debris in our yard. There are many other communities that have not been as fortunate.  Only a couple more weeks of hurricane season and hopefully we will not have to worry about any more storms until June 2017. 

We didn't lose power although I know others who did, so I was able to get some crafting done. I decided to work on a couple Halloween cards. Here is one...

I used a witch file from Miss Kate Cuttables and cut it on my Cameo.

Challenges:

Craftaholics R Us ~ Halloween for Girls

Jo's Scrap Shack ~ Anything Goes

Sunny Day Crafting ~ Anything Goes

My Challenge List is still missing, so I am glad Paper Playful is available.  Great resource to be able to look at all the challenges and sketches in one spot!

Spider For Sale!

Welcome back to Carson's Creations and thanks for stopping by! Today is going to be a wonderful Wednesday. It's time for a DoubleClick Skittles Challenge. 

This Week's Challenge...

Use Wheels

Here is my Design Team project...

What better way to get your spiders for Halloween than from a  truck that travels around town selling them. 

I used the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons special delivery truck, a Miss Kate Cuttables spider, added a web (instead of the hearts), and then a stamp from Jaded Blossom. Slate colored skittles are on each of the wheels.

Did you see the new Skittles Release...Witches Brew?

Now, I hope you will  join us this week for the "Use Wheels" challenge at DoubleClick Skittles. Be sure to check out the other Design Team members.

3 Girl JAM Daily Post ~ Happy Day Before Halloween

Hello Crafty Friends,

 Today is my day to share at 3 Girl JAM and I sure do love that I have been able to craft a little during the past week! I used a popular product from the 3 Girl JAM shop on my project...crinkle ribbon.

Here is my Design Team project...

This is probably going to be one of my last Halloween cards for this season, unless I get the urge to make one more for Friday. I am ready for the trick or treaters...at least until the candy runs out!

I used the following sketch

I used Iris and Summer Sprinkles crinkle ribbon to make a double bow. The witch is a sticker from Recollections.

Don't forget about our monthly challenge...

Spooky or Creepy

Last day to enter is October 31st

Prize: $15 Gift Certificate to 3 Girl JAM store

You're Spook-tacular Treat Bags

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today was another busy day...took my daughter to a different art festival (FAFO), so she could get some volunteer hours for one of her school clubs. While she was doing her good deed, I went shopping. I went to Michaels and found some AWESOME Halloween deals that I couldn't pass up...70% off plus my teacher discount. My students are going to be SUPER excited on Friday. We do not have any type of school-wide activity planned, but they will get a surprise treat bag when they leave for the day. 

After picking up my daughter I went right home and got my treat bags done! My students should be surprised and thrilled with the goodies. I had these spider cellophane bags left from last year and the twine came from Target's dollar bin. The tag was cut with the Plantin Schoolbook Cricut cartridge at 2 1/4".

Here are all the treats that filled the bags...pencils, erasers, notepads, pinballs, and miniature candy bars (The candy was on sale at CVS and I had two coupons I could use.).

I made 23 1/2 bags...I need to get some different candy for the last bag. I have a student that cannot eat chocolate, so I am going to get some Skittles and Starburst.

I sure do like this stamp! It is perfect for my students! I found the set at Michaels too...it is by Hampton Arts and it was on sale for $2.99 (and I used my teacher discount for these too...I love a good deal!)

Hope you had a fabulous weekend. I did not get everything on my list accomplished, but it feels good to get a few items crossed off. Tomorrow is another day!
