Pumpkin Spice Latte Anyone??

Are you a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte?  I just had my first one of the season.  I have a low calorie Pumpkin Spice Latte for you to enjoy today.  I’ve used the Merry Cafe stamp set (one of my favorites), the Coffee Cups Framelits along with the Painted Autumn designer paper for a fun fall card.

Spooky Nights…..

The Spooky Nights Suite has so many fun products that coordinate together so well (I guess that’s the point of a suite, huh).  I combined the suite with the Marbled Background stamp (if you don’t have this yet, you MUST order it — it is fabulous).  I swear you get a different look every time you use it.

Holiday Kick Off — Bunco Party

Last night I held my Holiday Kick Off Party — Bunco Style.  We played Bunco and the prizes were Holiday Catalog products.  I had displays of cards and some of the new items like treat tubes and mini pizza boxes and even a Christmas tree with ornaments.  I kept the doors locked until I had everything set up.  When I went to unlock the doors here’s what I found:

Holiday Kick Off, Praying to Win
I had to take their picture as it looked to me like they were praying to win at Bunco – too cute.

We had a room full of ladies waiting for instructions on how to play Bunco — it was the first time for many of them.  My biggest rule is this is a FUN night — we may not be playing exactly right but we will have fun.

Holiday Catalog Kick Off, Bunco
Before we got started I passed out their little goodie bag.

Holiday Kick Off, Bunco, Treat Bags, Foil SnowflakesHoliday Kick Off, Bunco Treat Bag, Spooky Night Suite, Tags & Trimmings Stamp Set, Patterned Pumpkins Thinlints
My inspiration came from BJ Peters.  Made this Mini Treat Bag using the Spooky Night Designer Paper, Spooky Cat Stamp Set and Cat Punch, the Patterned Pumpkin Thinlits and the Tags & Trimmings stamp set.  I put some of the Foil Snowflakes inside.  Quick and easy to cut out and assemble.

Bunco, Holiday Kick Off
They are ready to play — it was a slow start but everyone got the hang of it very quick.  Looks like Kelly is doing a little praying now.

Holiday Kick Off, Bunco, Christmas Tree, Be Merry OrnamentsI made up two of the Be Merry ornaments.  What a great set — 12 ornaments or gift tags (6 red & 6 green).  They went together pretty quick and are quite cute — only $19 for the kit.

Everyone had a great time — come back tomorrow and I’ll share some of the stamping with you.
