Fall Album and Where I've been

Well it seems like forever I haven't been on my blog due to the roller coaster I have been on for the last couple of weeks. Our home computer and my husbands laptop decided they just didn't want to work for us anymore. But my DH decided to get me my very own laptop to do my photos and blogging on. I just love this laptop I can be anywhere in the house and work on anything. So I am know working with Windows 7 and having a fun time trying to figure out all the programs that are on this one since I am so use to Windows XP. Well I should have some news things posted up soon just have to transfer over my pictures from the home one to my laptop. But it might take me a bit of time to figure this program out . LOL.

Here's a Mini Album that I created

And the lace is my new MS hole punch I picked up the other day.Not sure I like the pre made binder albums....should of removed a page or two so I could use alot of embellishments but if I do the pages will not turn, humm the choices ?? I Guess I could use stickers and flat embellishments now to start looking thru my stash of flat stuff lol

Birthday Party Fun!!!!

This was for my daughter's 10Th birthday party today and since it being so close to Halloween I decided to make these cute coffin boxes from the Martha Stewart website. I filled them with as much candy as I could for the kids and what didn't fit I put the rest in a mummy face bag I bought a the local dollar store.The stickers on the front are the from Micheal's Craft store.
Challenges entered I know these aren't a card but they are so perfect for halloween :)

And the best part of the party was the cake..........

Spaghetti and Meatballs.

I found this in a recipe book I bought on cupcakes decorating and made a bit of a change to it by making it more or less a 9 inch cake. The kids couldn't believe it they really thought I put spaghetti on it.LOL. Oh and the great part is the meatballs are chocolate covered in strawberry jam.The cake was a hit and the party was priceless.

Thanks for peeking.

Last Year I made this so quick and easy too

I cut the designer paper into strips using a brad to fasten the top and bottom together. With the tiny scraps of paper I curledthe paper to make a vine effect at the top. With 3 different colours of green I used the LEAF sizzix die cut for a quick and easy way to make leaves.
