Bone Appetit Alternative Paper Pumpkin Project

September Paper Pumpkin Kit has 20 of the cutest Halloween treat boxes and embellishments are plentiful. Don't let the size of those little boxes fool you they hold a bunch of candy. Treat size bars fit in there good too. I used a lot from the kit in this card except for the Gorgeous Grape and Basic Black Cardstock. You can write your greeting under the bone web or on the back of the card. 
This double Z fold is so easy and fun to make for a variety of subjects, your imagination is the limit. With all the embellishments in Septembers kit this was an easy card to fill...lots going on the dancing skeletons are doing a balancing act haha.

Desktop Notepad and Pen Set


These are easy and fast to make and are great for craft fairs or small handmade gifts. You can decorate them up more to look even prettier but I think they look good with just the matching ribbon and packaging. There are many of these similar designs on YouTube and this is definitely not an original idea of mine. I just adjusted the size to be able to fit my little notepads which measured 3-1/2" X  5". I either purchased from The Dollar Tree or Walmart. There are 5 in each pack, and they come in a lovely array of colors, purple, blue, green, pink etc. I made my own design labels on Avery.com

4-1/4" X  11" Thick Whisper White Cardstock
