As our boys grow, our holidays change. Neither one did any trick-or-treating this year (even though we were all for it if they wanted to). Nick went out to eat and then to the Haunted Hayride with his girlfriend, Jaylene. And Luke went to a friend’s house to watch movies.
But we did a few things similar to years past. We visited our nearby pumpkin patch at Eveland Family Farm, rode the Hayride, visited the animals, and purchased pumpkins and décor.
Then a few days later we carved the pumpkins. My husband helped to scoop, and I did a couple sketches so my boys could carve the designs of their liking.
We also attended Anoka’s Halloween Parade this past Saturday. It’s tradition…we’ve gone every year since the boys were little. But we also wanted to cheer on Nick and Jaylene and the Anoka High School Marching Band (their last performance of the year).
My husband’s niece Erin and her family (husband Justin, MIL Shawn and kiddos Jack and Lydia) drove two hours to come watch the parade, see our new remodel, and hang out with us. That was so much fun! They got into the spirit and dressed up as the Berenstain Bears.
Luke had to worked most of the day, so we stopped there after the parade to get some donuts and say hi.
This is a photo of my hubby and me without the boys on Halloween. We had fun handing out candy to the trick-or-treaters and watched a couple episodes of Survivor. Hahaha!
Hope you enjoyed your Halloween, too! Thanks for stopping by.

I’ve got more Octagon Star Boxes for you today: a Halloween one and one with the beautiful Sun Prints designer paper!
On October 23rd I shared a couple of these adorable treat containers. And I provided instruction for making them within the video of that post. If you didn’t see these two boxes and how they were made, I encourage you to click here and watch. (Instruction for the boxes starts at the 3:20 minute mark.)
Sometimes I get so hooked on a fun fold card, a technique, a pattern, or a 3-D creation that I can’t stop. Does that mean it’s an addiction? Hmmm…probably. But unlike my current addiction to Angie’s brand Boom Chicka Pop kettle corn, this one has less salt.
Here are the two boxes I’m sharing today.
(Ignore the moon with the two shades of black. I didn’t stamp it firm enough and colored it in with a marker. But on camera, the difference shows up pretty well. Hahaha!)
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
Base cardstock to form the box
5-1/2” x 8-1/2″ scored parallel to the short side at 1″, 2″, 3″, 4″, 5″, 6″, 7″ and 8″ then scored parallel to the long side at 2-3/8″ and 4-1/4″ (follow video instruction for extra score marks, cuts, folds, and assembly)
Strips of designer paper
Eight that are 1-3/4″ x 7/8″ (Cut from one piece that is 1-3/4″ x 7″ if you want to keep a pattern flowing.)
Ribbon or trim
12″ to 16″
Extra cardstock for decorations and/or sentiment piece
Happy Halloween to all of you celebrating! If you need a last-minute treat holder and you have a bit of patience (or only need one or two for some extra special trick-or-treaters), then maybe this box is the answer. It’s big enough to hold a few candies (about 2″ high by about 2-1/2″ in diameter).
And if you don’t own these exact products, you can just make your version/s with your own spooky papers or even just leave the box panels blank and stick on a couple googly eyes to turn the boxes into monster heads. 🤪
I stamped the designer paper with the images before cutting it into strips. And because this particular designer paper is only 6″ long, I added a couple more pieces from another section of the paper which you can’t really notice since the pattern is so subtle.
For a box that is gift-able all year long, this one might be more your style. The stamp set and designer paper come from the Sun Prints Suite which will be the suite featured in November’s All Star Tutorial (which can be purchased or earned). Stay tuned to learn more about this tutorial on November 1st.
Here are the products needed for this version of the box.
You can definitely see the flow of the paper pattern in these panels.
Another shout out of thanks to Theresa Gloe for getting me hooked when she shared this type of treat container for our make-n-take during our mid-September online team event.
If you are scrolling this post and feel like you missed directions, I didn’t really give you them. I only gave a couple tips. Directions for box assembly can be found in my how-to video in my 10/23/22 blog post, though.
Thanks for stopping by to see what I had to share today. If you are on Facebook and are part of my Stamp Your Art Out Group, be sure to share your version of this box. I’d love to see what you create!

Are you a fan of gnomes? They seem to be quite popular in décor and crafting nowadays. And Stampin’ Up!® is in on the trend as well with their Storybook Gnomes Designer Paper which is one of the stars of today’s cards.
I saw a fun idea with these gnomes and the Tree Rings Hybrid products shared by fellow demonstrator, Terri Gaines and decided I needed to use it and put my twist on it. (Thanks Terri for the inspiration for today’s cards!)
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for how I paired up the gnomes in this paper with the Kindest Gnomes Stamp Set, the Gnomes Dies, the Tree Rings Embossing Folder & Dies, and the Ringed with Nature Stamp Set to get some adorable seasonal “peeking tree gnomes” cards. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.

#APaperPumpkinThing Welcome to our monthly APPT blog hop to showcase Paper Pumpkin kit alternate projects! This time we are highlighting the September 2022Spooky TreatsPaper Pumpkin kit. See what I have to share. Then check out all the other blogs in the hop for additional creative ideas my fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrator friends shared. To follow the hop and see these other creative project ideas, simply scroll down and click on the names of the other hop participants. (If you are receiving this blog post by email, click HERE to see the hop.)
Here are the treat boxes the kit instructs how to make. (Click here for a link to Stampin’ Up!’s how-to video to help you assemble these as intended.)
I already shared some other alternate projects using the contents of this kit on September 23rd.
How to turn the supplies for the 18 treat containers into 36
Six Halloween cards made from one set of kit supplies
Three non-Halloween treat boxes
Today I am sharing…
A scrapbook two-page spread
Some fun masquerade/Halloween masks
A simple cauldron Halloween treat
Products I used… See below for a complete list of extra products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
The pages are my favorite! I’m excited to add photos to these.
Measurements…
2022-24 In Color 12×12 Cardstock
Orchid Oasis
12×12
(2) 4-1/8″ x 5-1/2″
(3) 3-1/2″ x 4-1/4″
Starry Sky
12×12
4-1/8″ x 5-1/2″
(4) 3-1/2″ x 4-1/4″
Basic Black Cardstock
1-1/4″ x 12″ (cut in half with a wavy line)
Scraps for die-cutting 3 houses
White from the kit’s box pieces
Scrap for stamping smaller ghost
Fresh Freesia from the kit’s box pieces
3″ x 3-1/2″
Directions/Tips…
Use a scissors to cut the Basic Black strip into two. Flip one over and add black Glitter Washi Tape along the bottom straight edges to create the ground pieces.
Add black Glitter Washi Tape about 1/8″ in on all four sides of one of the 3-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ Starry Sky pieces.
Add black Glitter Washi Tape across the Fresh Freesia piece to cover the score line. And add this layer to the washi taped Starry Sky piece. Attach the spider and then with Dimensionals the stamped “trick or treat” scalloped circle.
When adhering the ground, the die-cut houses, the photo mats, and title piece, don’t add the adhesive close to the edges. This way you can tuck pieces if you need to. I also added a strip of black Glitter Washi Tape up next to the highest house.
Stamp the stars next to the houses.
After stamping the smaller ghost, color in the eyes and mouth with the Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker. Add the ghosts with Dimensionals. And then just add a “trail” with the sequins.
Here is another way you could position the pages – with the ghosts on the inside. Which way do you prefer?
When I cut my boxes from the kit apart to create my alternate projects that I shared on September 23rd, I had leftovers that when put side by side looked like masks! So I decorated them up and created these.
Directions/Tips…
Use a mirror and figure out how far or close the two pieces should connect. Then adhere with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Widen the eye holes if you wish by just fussy-cutting.
Decorate with stamps and kit pieces. The “wings” on the white mask are the back sides of the ghosts. The bat around the eye on the orange mask was just one that I fussy-cut. But you could use a pencil and draw one. Then color it in with a Sharpie Marker.
What a fun way to fancy your face up without make-up for a masquerade or Halloween party.
This last idea is just a way to use up some of the black tissue paper that comes in the kit so you can make even more treats.
I literally just tied five Dum Dum suckers together with some twine. I then added a square of tissue paper (about 7-8″ square) from the bottom up and added more twine to keep this in place with the sucker sticks showing out the top. It reminded me of a witches cauldron. I suppose that cute Witch Hat Punch and coordinating Bewitching stamp set would pair well with this treat, but instead I just added a stamped sentiment piece from the kit.
I hope I inspired your creativity with what I shared today! If you did not get this kit, I hope you can apply these ideas to products you already own.

Here are some quick cards I made with a few designs from this paper. It’s a super easy layout that allows the paper pattern to be seen when the card is open and closed.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements
Base cardstock
4-1/4” x 8-1/2″ scored parallel to short side at 5-1/2”
Celebrate Everything Designer Paper
2” x 4”
Inside layer cardstock
4” x 5-1/4”
Basic White Cardstock
Scrap for stamping and punching sentiment
Sentiment layer cardstock
Scrap for punching sentiment layer
Silver Metallic Mesh Ribbon (for Halloween card)
15”
Directions
Fold the base layer and emboss the front flap if you wish.
Add the inside layer and designer paper without adhering yet. Using this set up as a guide & stamp the inside sentiment. If you are happy with the way it looks, secure the layers in place with adhesive. If you stamped your sentiment crooked, rotate the inside layer and stamp again. You still have more chances if you mess up, because you can also flip this layer over and even rotate it if need be.
Stamp the sentiment. Punch it and connect it onto its coordinating sentiment layer. Then add it to the edge of the front flap with Dimensionals. Be careful not to place the Dimensionals where they will be exposed underneath.
Then add the finishing touches with embellishments or ribbons.
Remember…you would need a $150+ order to be able to choose this Celebrate Everything Designer Paper with your Stampin’ Rewards. But with the sale going on tomorrow (see below), it may make the idea even more enticing. (This paper pack has a fabulous value too!…Normally a pack of 12 sheets like this would be $12.

I personally was unable to take part, so I’ll be watching this today (I hope!).
We had a fun filled Friday-Sunday here at our place. Family visited to see our newly remodeled rooms, celebrate birthdays, and enjoy our kids’ busy weekend events – Homecoming for Luke and a marching band competition for Nick, Nick’s girlfriend Jaylene, and cousin Robbie!
Here are Nick, Jaylene and Luke enjoying the new couch that was delivered Friday afternoon. (Yippee! It came a month earlier than originally forecasted.)
Robbie (at the far end of the table) just turned 16 and Nick just turned 17. So my sister and I pulled our resources and skills together and gave them a Blues Clues party. They LOVED that show when they were little! And we couldn’t resist bringing everyone back to that time.
Here are Jaylene, Nick and Rob drawing in their “handy dandy notebooks.”
We also had Blues Clues cakes to eat…
and coloring sheets. Micala, my brother Bob’s wife colored 3 full sheets during the party! We were all very impressed.
Here are their adorable girls, cousins to my boys hanging out and eating at our new island. This was the first time the girls saw the changes to our house. In fact this was the first time MANY of our relatives saw the changes. We’ve been remodeling since January. I think the last time we had my side over was Christmas. (And the last time my husband’s side of the family were here – they live further away than my siblings – was a few years ago.)
Because the couch was just delivered that day, we ate at the counter or out on the deck. I’m on the left with my husband Tim. My mom Margo, sister Renee, dad Bob, and brother-in-law Don are also around the table. And we were grateful the weather was nice.
The next day Nick, Jaylene and Rob were busy with marching band competition practice and performance preparation. So although Tim’s mom Edie, sisters Kelly and Terri, and brother-in-law Jim came to visit, they never really got to visit with Nick and wish him a happy birthday in person.
Here we are (my dad and mom, Edie and Kelly) enjoying a late lunch/early dinner before taking off to watch the marching band competition/show.
Here we are (myself, Renee, Jim, Kelly, Edie, Terri and Tim along with my mom and dad on my right side) at the Champlin Park HS stadium excited to see Nick and Jaylene (on quad drums) and Robbie (on bass drum) perform/compete with their team, the Anoka HS Marching Tornados.
And I’m so excited to tell you that out of seven Class A high schools in this competition, Anoka got first place!!!
This weekend overlapped with Luke’s high school Homecoming events. He skipped out on attending his school’s football game Friday night so he could be with us for the Blues Clues birthday party. But he didn’t attend the marching band competition and hung out with his friends at the Homecoming Dance instead. Everyone had a great time. And we so enjoyed hosting in our new spacious main level.

So sorry I was unable to share Live yesterday. As many of you know I’m on a quest for getting some of my health issues resolved. And I couldn’t pass up taking an appointment yesterday with another podiatrist.
But I pre-recorded a quick, casual video to share with you some glitzy and fun pumpkin cards. Each card was made with similar products and with a similar layout but for totally different celebrations. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post) so you can get directions, tips and measurements (sorry…no pdf today), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Here are photos of the finished cards.
I hope you got some creative inspiration from what I shared today!
