Control Freaks October Blog Hop - Happy Holidays

 Hello, Stampers!

The FrEaKs are back this month with a festive holiday

theme! It's hard to believe it's already that time

of year. The next several weeks are going to go by so fast

and the team is here, ready to help you get a head start on

some project ideas for all the upcoming holidays. Whether you are

joining me from Debbie's blog or just starting out here, be sure

to check out all the festive project ideas to get you in the holiday spirit!

I couldn't decide which holiday to focus on, so I did all three!

This card features the Merriest Moments bundle.

I stamped the springs, berries and holly all before running 

it thru Merry Melody embossing folder. Then, I topped it off

with a sentiment and a few poinsettia flowers.

I kept it really simple for this Thanksgiving card.

A little embossing with the Elegant Eucalyptus embossing

folder and some layered wreaths with the Country Wreaths

dies. A little gold trim and flower embellishments add 

just the right amount of sparkle. 

This is a fun one! I covered a pill box from the dollar store 
using the Celebrate Everything designer papers and the Alphabest stamps. 

I filled it with a bunch of fall-colored candies and topped it off with a
few die cut bats. You can easily personalize this idea
for a birthday, graduation, get well, etc.. or you could use this as a special 

treat for a spouse/child/co-worker, etc. and fill it with their 

favorites, too! A tasty little treat for every day of the week!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happie Stampin'!
