Trick or Treat!

It's HALLOWEEN...and we don't want the kids to be the only ones who load up on treats!

We're joining Scrap Orchard's designers for a Halloween Blog Train...so hop on the train and join in the fun. You'll get loads of fabulous FREEBIES--guaranteed to be a lot more healthy for you than your kids' candy!

Just "knock on our door" (click the image below), say, "Trick or Treat", and we'll give you a fun little Halloween FREEBIE! (While you're downloading this freebie, be sure to check out the other freebies that we have in the shop right now!)

For your next stop on the Halloween Blog Train, visit Kami at Ziggle Scraps. She'll have more fun, FREE goodies for you!

New Releases At Scrap Orchard!


Here is some "Calendar Inspiration" from our Creative Team!



....and one more product that we're adding to their shop!


Be sure to visit Scrap Orchard's Shop! They have a great offer going this week -- if you spend $10, you get a gorgeous collab kit called "The Good Earth" for free. It's BEAUTIFUL! (We didn't design anything in this kit, so I can say that without sounding snobbish :) If you spend $20, you get the Collab kit PLUS the quick page album made with this kit.

Time to go shopping...and while you're there, be sure to pick up some of our designs!

Here are the kits that we're adding to their shop this week:
Annette created a darling Halloween Magic Kit. It's far from scary, but perfect for your Halloween pictures!

I designed a Chore Chart Kit to help your kids get excited about doing their daily chores! (ok...so I can't guarantee that it's going to actually work, but it's CUTE!)

We Welcome a New Baby Boy!!!!

A new baby boy was born in our family! Madden Ryan Gray, born October 8, 2009; 6 lbs. 7 ounces; 18 inches long. The proud parents are Natalie (our daughter) and Rusty Gray. They have a 2 year old so it will be fun with two boys! He is so adorable and so fun to snuggle and hold. It's such a miracle when these little ones come into the world. They are all doing well and we are so excited to have him in our lives!

One of our CT members, Anna Marie, created a tutorial video using the Autumn Breeze Collection to create some darling gift cards and a box to hold them.  We thought we'd share it here!



Thanks, Anna Marie....great job!
