Digging for gold....and a hostess gift

Quick reminder....today is the last day to RSVP for the Halloween treats class!

Now onto the new and exciting stuff. :)

To thank my wonderful hostess (Mary!) for having a party for me tomorrow, I will be presenting her with this Cupcake tray
It includes the muffin mix, buttercream frosting, sprinkles, foil baking cups, decorative picks, and a cupcake 4x4 card. I got the tray at Hobby Lobby (or Michael's!) and painted it to match the new Riding Hood Red In Color. I lined the inside of the tray with some Bella Rose designer series paper.
Here's another picture of the inside of the tray:
Excuse the furry bottom of the picture...it's not a pet! Just a sheepskin rug. :)
I hope Mary likes her gift!

Mary also request a scrapbook spread shown since there will be some scrapbookers there. Last night...er, early in the wee hours of the morning, I put together a Progressive to 12x12 scrapbook layout. I got my inspiration for this layout from Mary Polcin at Convention.
Starting with a 6x6 page, my very adorable daughter Catie!
The 8 1/2 x 11 spread...hey mom! Look! I'm 1!
And here with the 6x6
Waaaait a minute!! Catie had other plans for that finger! :)
I shifted the 6x6 page to the side and added another picture onto the 8 1/2 x 11 page. I'm still debating on keeping the "digging for gold" picture in there or switching it out with something 'cuter.' What do you think?

Here is what I used for the scrapbook layout:
Stamps: Eastern Bloom, Bloomin' Beautiful, Heard from the Heart
Inks: Pumpkin Pie, Pixie Pink, Chocolate Chip
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Pixie Pink, Pumpkin Pie, Sweet Always dsp, Whisper White
Accessories: Felt Flowers, Pretties brad, Dazzling Diamonds, Crystal Effects, white Gel Pen, 3/8" Chocolate grosgrain, Photo Corner punch

Hope you have a GREAT weekend!
