Halloween

 

Our Elmo pumpkin was a really big hit. All the little ones loved it and we go so many comments on it from adult and teens too. It even won 1st prize at our ward pumpkin carving contest even though we didn't really carve it.

 

This cake I made without any of my tools. I made this cake while visiting family members, and it just happened to be my sister-in-laws birthday. So I made the cake for the party. Here birthday is close to Halloween and she would always go Trick-or-Treating for a birthday party activity. So I only thought it appropriate to do a Trick-or-Treat bag with candy falling our of it. Not bad for having to throw this together last minute and without any of my decorating tools!

Scrapbooking pages

These are some great pages that my mom and I did during her visit to see me. I just love the Handle with care page and the cowboy pages and well all of them. They all have fun layouts and paper. Not to forget the cute little one in the picture. LOL

 

 

 

 

Personlized Game

This was a great idea that I saw on the Internet. I just love this idea so I made it for a family that has become great friends with us. I found all of my supplies at the local craft store and went straight to work while my loving hubby watch the little one.
This is a picture of the box. I went online and googled Yahtzee until I found a cover that I liked and thought I would be able to work with. Then I copied the picture into a painting program and covered over the first part of the word Yahtzee. I then used Picasa to add the family's name and a message.

These pictures are of the inside where the rules are stuck to the top of the lid and a fun little caution note for anyone who wants to play against the Paces (the family). The dice are wooden blocks that I painted and put pictures of each family member on them. I just re sized photos and printed them on the printer at home. I used my xyron to stick the pictures on to the dice and then put a layer (or two) of Mod Podge on it to sill it all on. I also cover the box with the Mod Podge so that the cover wouldn't come off.
