Oopsie...Halloween goodies...a day late!!

Belated Halloween greetings from the critters and me!! Said I would get this done yesterday, but I lied...another busy day! Sorry to post these goodies the day after, but maybe there will be a little somethin' here to inspire ya...we'll see...

This was this month's nursing home card made with images from this Etsy shop, and stamps from Papertrey's "Embellishments" set...

...a little fussier than usual for the residents, but ALL the little parts and pieces were prepared ahead of time and they really enjoyed it! (They love all things festive!) The little panel at the bottom (pink and orange) was adhered ahead of time, and we built it all from there. We also put a little jewel by the "Hello" sentiment. I almost forgot it at the nursing home, but they wouldn't allow it!! ("Where's our little jewel!!") LOL! Here are the other images they had to choose from. (Since the cards are designed the same--it was nice that they got to choose the image that would make the card "their own".)

There were two more images that were horizontal, not shown--8 in all for $2.50 for the download. I know I have to keep in mind the ink used to print them--but all in all, this works out great for these cards for the nursing home. I'm thinking of using similar images for Thanksgiving. (Oh my gosh--we make that next WEEK! Better get busy!)

Next are some cards modified just a little, with some of the extra images...

These were used for teachers, and I made a couple more treat bags similar to Sunday's here, with one of the horizontal images I couldn't use on the cards.

These two went to the school media specialist and her assistant. My kids love 'em, and I figure they're often overlooked at the holidays. The report is that they were tickled pink!

This card was made a little dressier with an image from the same set, and went to the next-door neighbor who lives alone now...

Here is a birthday card for Grandma. Camera issues kept me from getting it in on Papertrey's monthly blog hop with stuffed fabric pumkins in colors of fresh greens and oranges in the inspiration photo...thus, my fabric leaves from Papertrey's leaf dies...

Finally, some clips from Hobby Lobby that I painted cream and added little bits of ribbon to. I use these on the glassine bags I deliver my cards in...

Love the way the bag gives a sneak peek as to what's inside. I would love to hear how YOU package YOUR treasures for delivery! For me...like this post...the card is often late...so the packaging has to be quick and easy! LOL!

Thanks for stopping in! Love hearing from you!! Have a great rest of the week!!
