Guess Who Got Boo'ed Today!!!

Me! Yes, me!

Have you ever been boo'ed?

It is the cutest gesture at Halloween. Basically, someone leaves you a Halloween themed gift basket at your door anonymously and you return the favour to two other people in anonymity as well. I am eager to find out who left my gift basket because it was a scrapper's dream come true! In addition to the black, orange, green and flourescent yellow cardstock. yummy chocolate treats, a somewhat garish orange and black pompom garland and some jack-o-lantern candles, my basket contained the following goodies:

Halloween is a frightfully fun time of the year for the young and old. Yes, I do dip into the Halloween treats; how can I not? They are sitting oh so cute in my pumpkin bowl chanting, "Eat me, Eat me" and well, I do! Take a look at this unbelievably cute candy caddy from the current issue of Scrapbooks etc.; isn't it darling? These can be made in 30 minutes or less and wouldn't they put a smile on your little goblins face at lunch time? (These are decorated take out containers! Use your scraps and little bits of ribbon and voila! an instant hit!)

If you are looking for a unique way to package your treats, why don't you give Amber's quick make an take a whirl? It is so cute and so fast and will set you apart from all your neighbours.

What about pictures from this fun day? I don't know about you but my photos are either blurry or dark and I am just plain unhappy with them! This year, I am going to stage a bit of a photo shoot before my trick or treaters go off trick or treating. And to make it fun, I have invited a few of my girls' friends over for the shoot...before it gets dark! (Yes, a bribe or two may find their way into their hands and mine!)

I wish you all a Happy Halloween! Enjoy the day and stay safe!

We've had another great gallery week at Scrapshotz! This week's pick is from one of our newest members...Anna Sigga. She has wowed us with her work so far and this week is no exception! Here's my fave for this week! Thanks for dropping by!

Hello. My name is Cari Locken and I'm so excited to be a part of the Scrap Shotz design team and community.  Last weekend we had our online crop and it was great to meet so many wonderful & talented ladies!

I live in Surrey, British Columbia with my husband Tim and our 3 children.  Actually we just moved back here after spending 10 years in Edmonton, Alberta.  So life is full of major changes for all of us right now but we're all settling in quite nicely.

I started scrapbooking almost 12 years ago but I "really" got hooked when I was pregnant with our 1st child.  I just love preserving our family times, events, and everyday moments.  Plus my kids love looking through the albums and seeing pages about them. 

I've met so many wonderful people through this "hobby" and have made some life-long friendships.  I've also had opportunities to teach at scrapbook stores and other crafting shows. In fact, I'm looking forward to teaching a few classes in a couple weeks at BC's Creative Expo.  If you live in the area (and in need of some Christmas projects) you're more than welcome to take part in my classes. I'd love that!  Feel free to check out my blog or my class list HERE for more info on my class projects.

Thanks for letting me share a little bit about me.  I am already so excited about the SS November Kit and I'm pretty sure that you will love it!!!

Well it's that time again! I have the job of choosing one favorite layout or card again this week...after a crop! I don't think you could find a tougher job than that after this weekend!

So, once again, I will cheat...LOL


My first favorite is one of the layouts submitted for our SSZ Gives Back challenge...Wendy (brenoli) and her daughter Olivia did this heartfelt layout in memory of Wendy's Grandmother...



Kari did a fabulous job with Jen's Autumn Splendor sketch challenge...



I can't believe Lorraine had a purple bedroom but after seeing this gorgeous layout I'm glad she did!



We had some really cute treat bags from Amber's make n' take... love this one by Tanya!



There were so many fabulous card challenges but here's a project done by Deanne I know you'll love...





It was another great gallery week! Make sure you come check it out!
