Vampires, Witches and Ghosts, Oh My!!

The Halloween Nights designer paper is awesome!
I love the Pumpkin Pie, Basic Grey and Black color combination.
This card is super simple with strips of the designer paper and
a couple of circles cut out with the Layering Circles framelits.

Team Meeting Shares

Yesterday I told you we held our Demo Make & Take and Team Meeting on Saturday.  My sister, Tina, and I hold a Demo Make & Take with each new catalog.  Everyone makes 20 cards featuring lots of new products — stamps, framelits, embossing folders, designer paper, accessories, punch, etc.
After the Make & Take we held a Team Meeting — we do this big group team meetings about once per quarter — it's a great time to build the relationships between team members — we have become like family.

Here's a picture of some of the ladies stamping away at the Make & Take session.
Tables of stampers
When this event finished we cleaned everything up.
Some people had to leave for other commitments but a group
of them stayed for the Team Meeting.
We do a Make & Take of 4 cards at the meeting too.
So they went home with 24 cards total.

Here they are listening and writing notes while Tina gives some important information.
Team Meeting Stampers
We asked some of our team members to make a display using one of the new Holiday stamp sets.  They told us which set they wanted to use.  The displays were fabulous and I'll share those over the next few days.
We also told them all to bring things they have been working on to share with everyone.  Again, their shares were amazing — some very talented ladies in this room.
I believe it was Lynn who brought these wonderful samples using the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits.  These are great Fall cards.
Swirly Pumpkin
I love this pumpkin.
Swirly Acorns
Here's the Acorny Thank You stamp set and the Acorn Punch.
Great card.

I'll continue to share more of their great cards and projects.
I would love to have you join my team and attend our meetings.

Dracula Gift Bag

Yesterday my sister Tina and I held our Team Meeting.
We asked some of our Team Members to make display boards using
a new stamp set from the Holiday Catalog.  Their displays were fabulous.
We wanted to give each of them a little something for helping us.
Of course we had to make the little gift extra special but packaging it all pretty.
Here’s how I decorated their gift.
Dracula Dot Holder Closed logo
I used the Mini Treat Bag Thinlit Die and Basic Grey cardstock
to create the little treat bag. 
Halloween Night designer paper — 2 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
Attach Black cardstock strips (3/4″ x 8 1/2″) to each long edge.
Wrap this around the bag and adhere.
Wrap Halloween Night Baker’s Twine around treat bag and tie bow.
Cut out Very Vanilla tag using Tags & Labels Framelits
Stamp “here’s a bootiful treat from Spooky Fun stamp set with Memento ink.
I used Layering Ovals for the Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black and Halloween ight designer paper.
Stamp Dracula from Cookie Cutter Halloween stamp set with Archival Black ink
Color shirt with Pumpkin Pie Marker
Color vest with Smoky Slate Marker

I cut a piece of Pumpkin Pie and Whisper White cardstocks for the card inside but I attached a sheet of the Halloween Night Enamel Dots.

These went together pretty quickly.

The ladies that helped out LOVED these items treat bags.
Give it a try — I would love to see what you do creating your own treat bags
