Mums The Word

I went to the local plant nursery and got some mums today. I brought them home and immediately planted them - task completed. I have to admit, I love checking things off my mental to-do list.

For example - post more Halloween cards on my blog. Check!

Have a nice night!

Something Old, Something New

If you are a frequent visitor, you may have noticed a little change. I've switched my blog over to the official address of "The Scrapping Place." I will be posting the same things (something old), just a new name (something new). So, if you'd like to bookmark the new address, it's www.thescrappingplace.com.

And, if you're making the jump, I'd like to thank you! I'm doing this mostly because I have started doing some local craft events, and I want to get a personalized stamp made for the items I'm going to be selling.

Enough businessy talk...

Finally done with my Halloween greetings. Many more to post!

Happy Wednesday!

Ghoulish Greetings

Creating like crazy over here! I'm using all sorts of new goodies including seam bindings and baker's twine and really cool little halloween embellies.

Have a great Wednesday!

Playing Catch-Up

It's hard to believe my last post was almost 2 weeks ago! So today, I am playing catch-up. I have been creating...and I have a bit of a handicap today as I got into a fight with my cutter-bee scissors and my middle finger lost...don't ask.

Anyway, I have been making lots of goodies for the Fall Fest at Emerson Creek Pottery and my booth is on it's way to being spooktacular! Of course, I am making some everyday things too. Here's one of the cards that I mass produced for the event.

I am loving the PaperTrey Ink stamps on this card. I stamped the clouds and then the kite in black and colored it in with pencil. The papers are from a variety of vendors including October Afternoon, The Girls' Paperie, and GCD Studios.

And, in order to get my creative juices flowing and display ideas for my booth, I indulged a little and picked up this:

The women in this magazine have Ah-mazing spaces to create in. And frankly, it boggles my mind how organized they are because the magazine was in the middle of this:

In the spirit of Halloween, I think "EEK!!!" is appropriate. What is all that stuff? I will tell you. Believe it or not, there is a method to the madness!

Fabric coordinated and ready to be made into something really cool.

Fabulous seam binding that I got on Etsy from Prairie Bird Boutique and Bluebird Lane, ready to be attached to cards and other fun stuff.

More fabric samples...

Trust me...they will eventually look like this:

So, I decided to clean up my act. Which was a bummer because I was so ready to create. But, I couldn't find anything! So, I spent the next couple of hours...

Ah - much better. When your craft room is in the basement, and there are many a door and window, you get many uninvited guests. Also in the spirit of all things creepy and crawly, just ONE of the many I found:

He wasn't really that big, but that doesn't mean I like him any more. Yuck! But I hate to kill them because I think they do a lot of good. So, I released this guy and added "Spray around doors and windows with Spider repellent" to the Honey-Do list.

Ok - enough babble. Here's just a few of the Halloween greetings I've been working on for the Fall Fest.

The papers and embellishments on this one are mostly K & Company and I picked them up recently at Michael's.

(This one's for you Donna!)

And the papers here are from the Martha Stewart halloween stack that you can also find at Michael's.

Have a nice weekend. I'm off to the Flea Market today!
