Happy Halloween
I’m loving the new holiday papers this year. This paper (for the card) is two sided cardstock – perfect for cards!!! Just cut the 12″ sheet in half – and you get 2 6″ cards. Green Sneakers makes a 6″ envelope template for the cards – so I’m all ready to go on my Christmas design. I just use lots of the new papers! I just picked up Dasher and Fruitcake yesterday – so I’ll be ready to make lots more today!!
I made the JOY letters using the Perfect Letters Article Technique and a cool hexagon punch from Creative Memories.
The letters themselves are from stamps from Walmart (not printed on the computer). The technique can be used either way.
I know I’ve been hinting at BIG THINGS, and the announcement is about to made later today or early tomorrow morning. I’m so excited! This is the beginning of seeing my dreams come to fruition. I’ve posted a lot about wanting a “little something for myself” – wanting my freelance business to work out – and I just got my first big gig!
The blog challenge is about Halloween Movies – and I gotta tell you, I just can’t do it. I can’t watch any of them. I haven’t the nerves. Plus, there were all those years where I was home alone with the children, and it was hard enough to sleep at night without scary nightmares! There were a lot of death threats against the soldiers and their families in my husband’s unit. I don’t think the enemy was well organized enough to actually find us – but we had to take all of our unit stickers off the cars. We couldn’t wear any of the shirts/sweatshirts - or anything that associated us to the unit. You see why I never needed Halloween movies to give me a fright!!
We love Halloween – just not the scary side of it. I’ll post pictures our Halloween House (thanks to DH), he just loves ‘doing the outside big’. Parents stop and tell me – “my children always ask us to drive home past your house – Stop at the Halloween House, Mommy!”
