When I was little, my parents loved to plan over-the-top haunted houses in our yard for Halloween. Â We’d all dress up in scary costumes, turn a few empty refrigerator boxes into creepy castles, bring out the dry ice and fake cauldrons, and invite friends over. Â I’ve always wanted to host my own Halloween party as an adult; and while I’m hoping next year will finally be the year, I’ve already got lots of inspiration for the invitations!

Happy Friday everyone! Â It’s been another exhausting week, but I’m super excited for the weekend. Â I’m heading up to New Jersey to visit my Dad, which is nearly always just what the doctor ordered when I’m feeling stressed and worn out. Â I’ll also be heading into New York City for some Bridal Market fun and, of course, still working. Â Speaking of which, have you all popped over for a tiny peek at my new project? Â We’re getting ready to launch in a couple of weeks and I’m so excited! Â I hope you all have fun and/or relaxing plans for the weekend, but in the meantime…
…a few links for your weekend!
…and just in case you missed it, a quick summary of this week’s posts:
That’s it for me this week! Â I hope you all have a lovely weekend and I’ll see you all back here on Monday!

I love rubber stamps, and I’m always on the lookout for cool business card ideas, so these new rubber stamp designs from MaeMae Paperie are right up my alley! Â And while you can also use the stamps on flat notes, Megan sized the text just so it would fit on a business card, with four design and font options.
If you’re anything like me and get bored with a particular color after a few weeks, the best part is that you can change the color any time! Â Ah, possibilities… get your own right here!

Tova from Brighten My Day welcomed a new niece back in July, and the birth announcements she designed are beyond gorgeous. Â I love the blind deboss floral pattern with the pop of bright pink and the modern font choices!
Tova paired the announcements with a monarch size kraft paper envelope printed with a matching floral design and corresponding thank you notes.
Absolutely stunning Tova!
