Spooky Projects #2 and MS Punches!

If I had planned properly, I would have had these cards before my department's annual United Way auction. Each year, I donate a bunch of cards to the auction. Talk about a win-win situation: I get rid of a stack of cards and they in turn bring money to United Way. I just don't know if anyone would have any use for Halloween cards. I mean, who sends them? Asks the Halloween Scrooge...

Isn't the Martha Stewart spider web punch fun? If you haven't seen what I did with the corner spider web punch on a circle, you must check it out here on Prism's blog.
You can see the black cardstock against this really dark purple cardstock, but I used Martha Stewart's drippy goo punch for the border, oh well, you can't see it well.

Speaking of Martha Stewart's punches, have you seen the new ones? I flipped out when I finally went to a Michael's that is 20 minutes from my house!! I was shaking so much trying to decide which ones to buy first. Here is a really good listing of all the new ones mixed in with the old ones. They are on sale at M's at 25% off this week so I can't use my coupons, grr... I can't wait for Sunday and rush there to get more punches. I did pick up a few anyway:

I can't wait for these to hit the M's shelves!! I really MUST go there more often, like every other day just so that I don't miss out!!! LOOK AT THESE!!!!

Okay enough of this, I have already died a thousand deaths coveting these punches!! So funny that just a few days ago, Trish from WIP asked me in a questionnaire, "Anything you are dying to get your hands on?" That was when I was blissfully unaware of these new punches, and I answered that "if I'm dying for it, I have it already." And really people, NO scrapping products is worth DYING for, so if I feel the case of death coming on, I cure myself by making that purchase!! Now M's needs to hurry up and get these in stock so I can once again prevent death by covetousness.
