LSHD Weekly Challenge: Jeepers Creepers!

Hope you all had a fun filled Halloween!

We sure did!

We now have enough candy to open a small candy store! :)

Every year, we go to a friend's house for home made pizza, Halloween treats and trick or treating.  It is always a blast, and always a lot of kids in great costumes!  We've been going for about 5 years now, since our boys started Kindergarten together!

As you all know, I am a couple, OK, a few plus a couple, years behind on my personal scrapbooking. So, I am not sure WHICH year or for WHICH kid this LO will be used for, but it WILL be used!! I just need to find and print out pictures!

Little Scrap of Heaven Designs has their weekly challenge going on, and it's a "Jeepers Creepers" Challenge. I saw this as a good opportunity to kill 2 birds with one stone! :)

You have til Sunday night to join in, so hop on over and play along!!

Have a Scrap Happy Day!!!

Mummy Pops

Well, I went completely out of my comfort zone on this one!!  My friend Nancy from Always a Story had posted a pic of some adorable chocolate covered Oreo Mummy pops.  Well, my son's 5th grade class was having a bake sale to raise money for a class trip in the Spring and I thought, "I can do that!". HA!

There were also a few different versions on Pinterest.

You can find them both on my Halloween board, http://www.pinterest.com/co11een903/halloween/

First, let me just say that I have never, ever even melted chocolate before. I have never put a stick into the creme filling of an Oreo. Both are harder than they seem.

Lots of Oreos were hurt and consumed during this production.

I had to make grooves in the creme then dip a stick into the chocolate and then sandwich the cookie back together. Carefully. They break EASILY!

They take a bit to completely harden.... don't try to move them until they are 100% hardened!

The 1 million pieces to the Mummy heads, from Scrappy Dew

The finished product! I wrapped a glass jar in gauze and added some paper eyes with red pearls! Dumped a small bag of rice in there so they wouldn't all flop around too.

On the inside, it just gives a description of what it is and what I used to make them (allergy purposes)

I couldn't fit them all in here, so the extras went in a bag so we could replenish the supply as needed.

I am happy to say that they sold out within the first hour, jar and all!! The nurse wanted it for her office!!

All in all, a pretty good success!!

the LOOT!

Hey all!

This week, I am playing along with the Little Scraps of Heaven Designs weekly challenge!

You can see the sketch and their DT's projects on the DT blog.

I always take pics of my kids and their "loot" at the end of trick or treating. I thought these Candy Bears were perfect!!

Hop on over to the LSHD fanpage and join in on the fun!

Thanks for stopping by, and as always,

Happy Scrappin'!

Weekly Wednesday Challenge!!!!

Happy Hump Day, People!!!

This week it's a Halloween Card Challenge!

I used the "Pumpkin Boo" file from Designs on Cloud 9. I thought the piecing turned out so cute, and was SURE it was going to fit on a 5x7 card..... until I measured it! Just a hair too tall!! Dang it!

Well, my "card" quickly became a treat bag! I have lots of goodies to make for people, so this one will be for our awesome bus driver! I'll fill it with candy and other goodies (if I don't eat all the candy first! lol)

Jennifer managed to abide by the rules and make an actual card!!

Here's a peek, but to get all the details, please visit her blog and leave her some lovin'!
