PIN IT FRIDAY FAVS: Halloween and the Very Best of Pinterest Pins

I saw this saying on Pinterest and it made me LOL!

I knew it would make the perfect saying for some of

my double Z Halloween cards:

I found a SVG witch hat file to make the hat on my Cricut

and the bats are made from a Martha Stewart bat punch.

For the purse, see my previous post HERE, and for the

double Z cards, check out my post HERE.

This was the treat I made to go with my card:

I added a separate "WITCHES" labels because it was difficult to see the cursive word "WITCHES" in the original pdf download. To make these Tic Tac Warts, you can find the download info. HERE or HERE. There you will find downloads to make these quick Tic Tac crafts below: 

(I found the Tic Tacs at my Safeway: 10 for $10!)

Here are a few more of my favorite

FALL/HALLOWEEN pins:

This card got me to thinking how I could use my Cricut to cut other words out of stamped images. My next post will show some floral thank you notes inspired by this pin idea!

And finally...I love these two pins, but oh!...the work involved is intense!

Try doing a Pinterest or YouTube search to find

directions to make these tri fold shutter cards.

There are quite a number of variations

on this type of card, too!

PIN IT FRIDAY FAVS: Tea Party Time and the Very Best of Pinterest Pins

One of my favorite things to do is have a tea party! Here's a table set up from a tea party my neighbor and I hosted for a neighbor recovering from surgery: 

This weekend, I'm having a tea party for my mom, a coworker and her mom, so I wanted to make a tea party favor that would serve as a candy holder and place card, too. Based on a previous post on my blog, I made these teacup favors:

You can click HERE for the tutorial referenced on my blog.

Once you make one cup, it becomes easy peasy to make these lovely little cups! It's so fun to use up some of my treasured DSP paper and each teacup only requires a piece of paper that measures 8"x 5 1/2". I added a sampler of Hershey chocolates in each cup along with a tea bag from this box below which is now one of my favorite decaf teas:

Each tea sachet is individually wrapped in a clear cellophane bag and looks so pretty in each of my paper teacups! I recently bought these Chamomile Citrus tea bags at Safeway after a friend served it to me at her house...now...it's a regular evening treat!

Below I have highlighted some of my most favorite tea party pins:
