I have been a little crazy busy. When one deadline ends, it is the beginning of a new one. I am not complaining, since being busy is a good thing. However, I know that I need to slow down a bit. I am trying hard to do everything while my children are at school. Somedays are better than others. I wish I could share all the good things, but you will all get to hear what is keeping me so busy at CHA W. It's more than one thing too!!!!! Anyway, I am so happy and grateful that my cute husband is helping me to juggle, balance and cheer me along. He is 100% there for our family and me. This morning, I started the laundry and when it was time to switch loads- without asking he went and finished it for me. Now that is team work!!!!
I am teaching at a event in UTAH tomorrow afternoon. I love this!!!!! I can't wait to met all the girls that will be there. Thanks Lisa for inviting me!!!!! Then I get to go to Rio Tinto to watch McKay dance during half time at the football game. Excited that Gentry is coming home to help me at my class and to go with me to see her sister perform.
I will be going on Good Things Utah in one week- HALLOWEEN projects!!!! For now, I wanted to show you some things that the design team has been creating. They are so talented!!!!
I am LOVING Haunted Hallows and hope you like it too.

Haunted Hallows QUICK and EASY treat CAN
by Collette Nederhoffe
featuring Teresa Collins Haunted Hallows Supplies: 1 plastic can -- recycled after using all the flowers in it. This little can measures 4 1/4" tall and 3 1/2" diameter. Could also use a small empty paint can. Something like this could be bought at Michaels, but mine is a re-cycle. See photos Haunted Hallows Black Glitter Paper Haunted Hallows Spiderweb paper Haunted Hallows Poison paper Haunted Hallows Sticker Sheet Haunted Hallows Chipboard elements Haunted Hallows Die Cuts Haunted Hallows Trims Blingage: Donna's Gems Black ribbon and orange sparkle ribbon: MIchaels Spider: Pier 1 -- or a party supply store Adhesives: Bazzill Mega runner and Glossy accents, Close to My heart foam dots Instructions: 1. Cut a strip of the black glitter paper to the height of the can. My can was a perfect fit for the 12" length of the paper and the height I measured was 4" tall. Attach the paper to the can by using a tape runner and I used the glossy accents to glue where the paper overlaps after going around the can. The Glossy accents makes the glitter paper stay better. 2. Using the sticker sheet-- apply the Flags around the top edge of the can. Again mine fit perfectly, but you can adjust it to fit your can. I also added a border on the bottom edge. 3. Cut a circle to fit top of can lid that fits the opening. Mine is a diameter of 2 3/4". I used the Spiderweb paper. I used the Boo die=cut popped with a dot as an accent to the lid. The Spider is attached with glossy accents on the lid. 5. To make the Bat flag, I cut a strip of the Poison paper 1 1/4" x 6". Fold in half and before gluing, cut the pointed flag edges. I stuck this on the handle of the can and then glued it together. Add the Bat chipboard and Trick or treat Die cut. 6. Embellish the top edge of the can with Donna's gems. There were 3 leftover after going all around the edge, so I used them to highlight the flag. 7. Tie the ribbons and tulle to the handle under the flag. This will make a darling candy can to give as a special gift! |
