I was so excited for today to come. After a long week at work, all I wanted to do was lock myself in my studio and papercraft for the entire day. And that is exactly what I did.
I know many of you have elementary-school-age kids and they are probably getting all excited for Halloween...fun costumes...classroom parties...trick-or-treating. Oh how I miss the days when my boys were little! I used to love making their costumes every year and sending in special hand-made treats to school. Feeling a little nostalgic, I still wanted to get into the spirit of things. So today I decided I will make special treats with a hand-made flair, I will just pass them out at work! After all, grown-ups like sweet treats, too! I went right to work by pulling out the latest Halloween paper by Making Memories-Spook Alley (that line may sound familiar...I made my wreath out of it), turned on my Cricut machine and pulled out my new Pink Slice machine out of its box. For several hours on this cold fall day I played and this is what I did...
I cut enough paper to make 36 tags to tie around goodie bags. Aren't they cute? I figure if I don't give all the bags away at work, I can pass them out to the cute little trick-or-treaters that come to the door on Halloween!
As I mentioned before, I used the Spook Alley line by Making Memories. HOWEVER, the circles with the words are my creation. After having this blog for over a year, I FINALLY figured out how to insert a file for you to be able to click on and download! I am so excited to be able to share these with you! Below are two pdf files with the Halloween greetings I created. Print them at home (I printed mine on ivory cardstock) and use a 1.5" circle punch to cut them out (I use the EK Success punches). A faint gray cut line is there for you to line up your punch on. Please let me know if these links works! It is the first time I am doing something like this. If it is successful, there will definitely be more digital downloads in the future!
