Link up The Love Party - Halloween Sour Cream Containers

So a while back, while I was looking for wedding favors, I stumbled upon a YouTube video (this isn't the exact one, but hey it works) showing how to make sour cream containers. While I didn't do anything with the idea at the time, it's been in the back of my mind. So I decided to give it a go with some Halloween favors.

Here's the goodies for the inside, some caramels, tootsie rolls, smarties, and some gum:













I bought these stamps last weekend at ScrapThat!, which a local scrapbooking store that I go to for crops. I don't remember the company. I cut a 2.25 circle and scallop circle to make the tags. I don't plan on handing these out the kiddos, but a friend is having a party so I might just take them over there. Thanks for stopping by.





I'll be linking this up at Made it Myself Monday, Link Up the Love Party by K. Andrew, More Than Favors, Decorate to Celebrate, Inking it Up, Crafty Sprouts

Here are the rules for the Link Up the Love Party:

Link Up Love Party: How it Works

• Link Up Party runs from Tuesday 10/18 to Tuesday 10/25.
• Grab the Getting Cricky blinky and post on your blog's sidebar
• Be a follower of Getting Cricky
• Create a new blog post that is titled Link Up Love Party with K Andrew. In your post, you must mention that the link up love party is a way to get to know each other and find new blog inspiration, mention my blog, with a link back to Getting Cricky
• Post your favorite project that you've done in your blog for HALLOWEEN
• Copy and paste the link up code into your blog post so the Inlinkz will show up on your blog
• Spread the word so everyone can join in!
• You must visit, follow, and comment on the 5 people before you AND the 5 people after you in the Inlinkz. It would be fantastic if you would visit as many as you can--maybe everyone? If you are one of the first 5 then you will need to blog the ones before you and a few more after--as long as it's a minimum of 10 near you in the link up
• If you do not do the above your link will be deleted, because it's just not fair to those who work so hard linking up and showing love to the ones on the list. I have two moderators who will be checking this out to keep it awesome and fun!

Stay Crafty

Busy Saturday

Happy Saturday Everyone,

Today has been a combination of lazy and busy. I didn't get my butt into gear until about 10. I spent a few hours down in the scrap cave trying to create some holiday cards. Here's what I came up with:











I ended up using 4 different mats because I screwed up when cutting the original ones.

The mats are from a Christmas stack that I got from Oriental Trading. It isn't the best paper, but if only using for mats or accents then it's fine. I cut the candy canes from the Gingerbread solutions cartridge. I added some Stickles to make it stand out.

I fought with the stamp. First I stamped it on white with red ink. Didn't like it. Then I tried green ink. No go. So I just stamped it directly on the card in black.

After I finished up these cards. The family and I went down the Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) to adopt a kitty. Miss A found like 4 cats she wanted. In the end, this is who came home with us:






She decided upon the name Winter. She's still getting used to the house and not being around all the other cats, but I'm sure she'll adjust.

Another really positive thing, I'll be participating in another blog hop at the beginning of October. So keep a look out for some great projects.

Stay crafty
