Halloween Paper Crafting and Scrapping

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

Okay, I admit it…I love Halloween.  What do I love??  I love anything to do with Halloween Paper crafting and scrapping.  I love the colors, the amazing product lines and just all the fun that goes along with it.  This year there are so many wonderful products and projects out their.  I can hardly contian myself.  My head is just spinning with ideas…now if my hands could just keep up with my head. 

Imaginisce’s Hallowhimsy is a great line with embossed and glittered papers.  Darling little acrylic stamps that retail for .99 cents, how can you beat that?  Sugar coated brads in Halloween colors are a favorite of mine this season. 

Moxxie has a wonderul line called Eye of Newt with the coolest double sided papers with witch shoes, frogs, cauldrons and tons of cute, cute embellishments.

Making Memories Spellbound is total spooky fun along with Reminisce’s Halloween products.

There are so many great ones out there…I just wish I could have it all.  Almost forgot to tell you about my very favorite line from Crafty Secrets…they have cutest, sweetest vintage line of Halloween.  I adore everything in this collection.  It’s simply adorable…I love it all and have it all.

A great new collection will be flying into the Playground soon…Pink Paislee’s Vintage Moon Collection along with a the new Collections from Fancy Pants…All Fall, Daily Grind,  and more.  Plus don’t forget the Amazing Glitter Cuts from Fancy Pants with a spooky tree, pumpkin and the sweetest little owl.  Oh! by the way, the little owl in the Vintage Moon collection is so cute!  You guys are going to love all these new lines.  Most of these will be debuting at the Black Hills Rushmore Retreat on October 3, 4, and 5.  The retreat will be open for public shopping on Saturday the 4th.  One dollar donation, to the Susan G. Komen and Scrap Pink Foundations, gets you in the door for all the great shopping.  Scrappin’ Ladies, Altered Art & Scrap Playground. Stampin’ UP, TLC, Creative Memories and more will have lots of fun new product lines.

So, time for a question, sinced I haven’t asked one in a while!  How many of you love Halloween Paper Crafting?  Do you make Halloween Cards, layouts or all of those fun little Halloween Projects?? 

Do you prefer Christmas Paper crafting? 

Which ones your favorite???    I would love to hear from you.  It’s just such a fun, colorful time of year.  Tell me about your projects and plans for Halloween!!
