Two Scrapbooking Challenges Today!

Today I incorporated 2 challenges into 1 scrapbook page. I used Apron Strings Croptober 10/17 challenge and used the Stuck on U Sketches sketch Oct 11-24.
The challenge over at Apron Strings was to incorporate any elements from their 2-page layout....black, white, orange, bats, 31, etc. And here is the sketch from Stuck on U:

Here is my layout: 

 

Wyatt was only 4 months on Halloween and he was such a trooper! His costume was warm. It was actually cool that night and it even sprinkled rain a bit. My sister, her husband, daughter, Wyatt and I were dressed up and went to Chipotle to get a free burrito. (or BOORITO as they called it!) Then we went trick or treating. Not Wyatt lol, he pooped out and just wanted milk. ;) Of course...baby cow...

Scraproom Blog Challenge

For this challenge at The Scraproom Blog, the challenge was to use patterned paper as your background. Easy peasy! I love to do that. I pulled out my Stampin' Up Halloween DSP (love these colors!) and went to town.
I used a sketch layout from Nuts About Sketches (love this site!) It's perfect for when I feel like I have lost my scrapbook mojo!

Halloween Card, Treat Boxes & Decor!

Here's a cute Halloween card we made in my Meet Up last Wednesday night. It was very fun making the little treat boxes too! These qualify for a super cool challenge over at Cupcake Craft Challenges too! For more pictures visit my Meet Up site or my Stampin Up website!





I also made a super cool Halloween candle holder for really cheap! I used 2 images from the Spooky Things decor elements from Stampin Up HERE, a glass candle holder from the Dollar Tree, and rocks from the Dollar Tree, added a candle and wa-lah! Spooky but gorgeous candle holder! You can make about 5 candle holders with one set of decor elements. I used the "Trick-or-Treat" element to decorate a candy dish (again bought the dish at the dollar store).
