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.
