Halloween Events and Some Cards
Posted on | October 26, 2009 | 4 Comments
We got to start Halloween a weekend early this year, which is good because Rinoa has been wanting to wear her Tinker Bell costume ever since we purchased it about two months ago!
 |
| We went to Barnes & Noble Saturday morning for some kiddie Halloween craft time. |
 |
| Here’s Rinoa and Mica with B&N stortytime friends Zoe and Maddy. |
 |
| Saturday afternoon, we went trick or treating at Midway Village. Throughout this whole day, Troy was somewhere else helping a friend fix his car. |

We definitely had a lot going on this weekend but we still managed to make some Christmas cards for Gavin’s fundraiser. Mine was an ecclectic mix of cards. I had a great time working on them that I think I’m going to use some of these designs for my card-giving this year.

| I’ve been trying my hand at mixed media collage lately (in what little free time I have), and with this newfound love, I’ve learned to appreciate vintage images and ephemeras. These first two cards reflect that. The Santa and the Angel were copyright-free images I found online. I printed two or three copies of each and layered them for a simple 3D effect (which the photos don’t really show). |
 |
| This Christmas tree is an ode to my college days when I learned to be crafty with a craft knife. |
 |
| This more-graphic-less-grungy set of cards was inspired by this. |
|
And here are Mica’s and Rinoa’s. They got to play a little bit with stamps and embossing, which they had fun with.
 |
| Here’s one of Rinoa’s stamped cards. |
 |
| These are my favorites of Rinoa’s cards because they include her drawings. |
 |
| This is one of Mica’s cards. She made several but I have no idea where the rest are at the moment, and it’s late so I’ll just have to show the others next time. |
I’ve also started receiving cards in the mail. So exciting – especially for Mica and Rinoa who gets to open them! I’ll be posting pictures of the cards soon. Can’t wait to share them.

Same thought here.
I feel so embarassed with the slouchy work over here! OH ya, at least my cards are perfumed! They can be used as book freshener though…
Where I send them to? Can I have the address please? Or do you still want them now that you seen them? *pout*

Haha! You two (Kiki and Tsy) are hilarious, thanks for making my morning. I’m sure your cards are lovely, I know they were made with love (especially for a boy you’ve never met – I’m really touched). And the important thing is you had fun (or I hope you did – lol!) Not sure about the glitter explosion though – I’m sure that was a nightmare! Bwaaahaha!
