Tombstone Treat Boxes and a Halloween Party

I fell in love with these as soon as I saw them and knew I wanted to use them for one of my red hat groups and I was so happy when Pat asked me to make a treat box for the Scarlet Sophisticates Halloween Party that she and Elyse were hosting on Oct. 27th. I initially made her 24 and then she needed an additional 5. So we ended up with 29 in 5 different designs.

I also loved finding that Carmen had made a Halloween scene that included 2 past Halloween boxes I had made (a house and a coffin). Included some pics of the ladies in their great costumes.



Here are some pictures from our Halloween party. So many great and clever costumes. I was the dragon.

October Stamp Camp

Had 4 attendees, Carmen, Carmen's grandson, Demerus, Margarethe & Sharon. We had a lot of fun. I think Demarus had the most fun making cards for his wife (also named Carmen).

After everyone left, I added to the cabin card and then made a few more, each a little different. Harold liked them and wants me to make more for our Christmas cards this year (with the lighter blue background as you can see the embossed snowflakes better).

I LOVE this month's cards, especially the ones with the buffalos. They remind me of our trip to hubby's sister's country home in...
