October Hostess Gift

Here's the latest Milk Carton gift that I made for my October club hostess. Instead of a Halloween theme, I decided to just do pumpkins for fall using the "Pumpkin Patch" stamp set from the Holiday Mini Catty. :)

Halloween goodies

These are little treat boxes that I gave to my club members this month. Super easy when you have Stampin' Up's Big Shot. The pumpkins are made from punches. I made about 10 of these in about 30-45 mins.

Eek!

I haven't posted anything since Friday--I'm getting ready to travel for work for two weeks, so I have been over my head prepping for that trip, thus cutting into my time in the craft room.

I hosted Bunco at my house this past Monday, and decided to make up little party favors since this is one of my favorite holiday months. :)

The brown box and cement background don't do my display any favors, but at least it wasn't rainy outside and I was able to get a decent picture without a dark tint. ha!
