Happy Halloween!

My husband and I decorated this wishing well in the front of our house for our "Trick or Treaters" to enjoy tonight! We have a spotlight on this little scene. Our next door neighbors have a cementery in their little garden out in front of their house. Our neighborhood is having fun with Halloween! Here is the treats for tonights little goblins. Love decorating these little boxes for Halloween. We don't have a lot of kids but enough to keep me busy for the past week.Happy Halloween everyone!

October's Celebrations

This has been a busy month making cards for a first anniversary for my son and daughter in law, birthdays and also making posters for my 50th class reunion! The month is almost gone and I'm just finishing up a wedding album also for my son and daughter in law. We had the East Coast celebration back in August so I had to add those pictures to the album. I am happy to say that I have finished it and will be mailing it to them just in time for Halloween! LOL! Here is the first of 3 cards. It is the first anniversary card which I think is an accordian pop out panel card. I used Graphic 45 Bloom paper collection. The rose is a die from Elizabeth Craft, which is gorgeous. Happy 1st Anniversary to Mr & Mrs Eric Petersen! Love you guys!
My second card is for my son's 40th birthday which was on October 12th. This is a 4 panel pop out card. I have made this style card before and I love how I could put pictures of him on some of the panels. Happy 40th Eric! Hugs!
My third card is for a dear friend and he is a hard worker and occasionally we play cards with he and his wife. This style card is a variation of a trifold card. Love the sentiment, "No matter how you shuffle the deck, you are always a winner". Happy Birthday Donald!
Here are a few pictures of our reunion from last weekend. The posters that I made with friends. I used dies and my cricut for decorating. We were very proud of how the "In Loving Memory" poster came out. It was a fun celebration and we had a terrific turn out! It was so great to reconnect with old friends.
The cake looked great too!
