Time is running out...

...to submit layouts for the October Challenges posted on the MW Consultant Message Board! You have until midnight on Halloween to post your layouts/projects. Remember that product credits are being given away...wouldn't YOU like to be the recipient of some of those??? Especially now, with all the beautiful holiday products available.

Click here to link to the challenges on the message board.


In case you didn't see Monday's Make and Take...here it is. An easy-to-make Halloween Treat Pocket. A few folds, some cute embellishments, and there you have it! The best part about this project, is that it can be used again and again for different holidays or occasions...simply change your paper theme.

Step 1: Begin with an exact square sized piece of paper. You can use solid cardstock or printed paper...the double-sided kind looks great. My square is 9"X9"...the bigger the square, the bigger the pocket.

Step 2: Turn the paper so it looks like a diamond and fold the bottom point up to meet the top, forming a triangle...crease.

Step 3: Take the bottom right corner and fold it across to the left side....crease.

Step 4: Repeat step 3 using the bottom left corner.

Step 5: Open up the top "flaps" and fold the front flap forward, over the folds. Crease and "puff" the pocket open a bit. You don't need any adhesive to help keep the pocket together, as the folds do this on their own. Simple!

Step 6: Decorate as you like...fill with a treat...and you're done! Very Happy
(I used My Mind's Eye Boo To You theme set and embellishments)
