Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to show you this fabulous idea I came up with for my Halloween treat-or-treat goodies this year. I created this card/game using the Sweet Centers stamp set. Gotta love this set! I know most children like candy for Halloween, but maybe they'd like to have a game to play with while eating their candy. Today's post is a game (and card that opens) which I will give to my three "special" trick-or-treaters. I plan on making many more which will look exactly the same, but they will not be a card that opens.
This game is not new, in fact it's been around for a while. I just made it my very own creation by using the Sweet Treat Cups that you can purchase from the Holiday Mini starting on September 1st. This game is like the little handheld games we used to play when we were younger. You roll the balls around and try to get them in the holes. Now, you may notice there are no metal balls in my game yet, I haven't had a chance to purchase them, but hopefully I will get some this weekend. I was just sooooo excited to share this idea with everyone I HAD to post it today. Hope you like the idea!
The Sweet Centers stamp set and the Sweet Treat Cups will be available Sept 1st, which is just around the corner. If you would like to purchase these items, please visit my Stampin' Up! website on September 1st - www.stampwithcharlene.stampinup.net OR click on the online ordering button (top right sidebar of my blog) OR just give me a call and I will place your order for you.

That's a great idea! Where can you find the little metal balls from?
Thanks, Kristi
