Halloween Decorations

Good morning!

How cute are these? I made a couple of these over the weekend. I'm waiting for an order to come in on Wednesday to make a few more. These are one of the things will be making at my Halloween class on Oct 16th. If you are interested in attending please email me. This fun idea came from Kimberley Van Diepen over at stampinbythesea.com She has the most wonderful ideas. I'm currently working on a Spooky banner that I hope to complete tonight in hopes of showing you tomorrow. I hope you like and thanks for stopping by!

Dasher is back

Good morning Stampers,

So, how long do you think before it starts snowing? It's been so cold lately and I refuse to turn the heat on just yet so we've been lighting a lot of candles.

I'm back using up more of the retired Christmas Cocoa DSP. I cased this idea from another Demo but I can't find her name or blog anymore so I'm really sorry to not acknowledge who the idea came from but just know that this is not my original idea.

Hope you enjoyed and thanks for looking.

Chilly day

Hey There,

What a chilly Sunday. A good day to stay inside curled up on the couch sipping hot chocolate or if your like me, it's a good day to lock yourself in your craft room with some tea. Today I'm working on getting some ideas together for a Halloween class and a Christmas one so stay tuned for those.

Today's card is using some retired DSP that I'm trying to use up. I love this stamp set Winter Post. I've made 10 of these cards for my Aunt's Open House craft sale that she holds every November. You can't really tell in the picture but the trees have dazzling diamonds on them to add a little sparkle. I hope you like. Thanks for stopping by.

Swap Card

Good afternoon friends,

Last Saturday I spent the day in Hamilton at the Stampin Up Regionals. It was so much fun. We did 6 make n' takes and actually finished making them all. 2 years ago at the last one I was at my upline Tammy and I didn't finish all of them so we were quite proud of ourselves this year. There was also another exciting surprise, the CEO Shelli Gardner herself was there. It was like seeing a celebrity.

This was the swap card that I made for the event. I used the same stamp set I showed you yesterday. I made 40 of these cards, 30 to swap and then 10 for a craft sale I will be in. I think it could use some sparkle, what do you think? Thanks for checking in.

Halloween Greetings

Hello Stampers,

Have you picked out your costume? One of my nephews told me that he's going to be something spooky and we he was asked if that meant he was going to be a ghost he said ''no, I'm going to be something spooky". I thought it was cute.

Well, before I start my little blitz of Christmas cards I thought that I should post my little Halloween card that I made. I just adore this stamp set. It's a lot of fun to colour with. I hope to do more Halloween projects with it before October 31st.

I hope you like, and thanks for having a look.

The Gift

Hello Friends,

I told ya I'd be back....did you believe me? This is the project with did just on Friday. I love stamping on candles and it's a great gift that you could give to someone at any holiday or occassion. As you can see if the picture with all projects we made for this gift pack that it all co-ordinates together. Another thing you could do is stamp on some tissue paper and put that in the gift bag to cover the gift. I'm pretty sure that Friends 24-7 is my favourite stamp set and it's funny because on Saturday when I was at the Hamilton reginals I was asked what my favourite stamp set was and I drew a blank but I use this one a lot and find it to be so versatile. Anyway, I hope you like and please share your comments.

I'm blogging baby!

Good evening Friends,

I truly am sorry that it's been a month since my last post. I have been working hard on projects and have my picutres ready for further posts. This was Augusts project for my club. It's a decorated gift bag to go along with with card and gift tag that I posted last month. I had seen different roses out of paper from different blogs and tried to find the easiest one to do in a class. This is the one that I decided to show my club girls how to make. All you need is the ornament punch, sticky strip and a stylus. The ornament punch is used for the petals, and to make it look more like a rose I sponged around all the edges. You have to punch out 18 petals to make one rose. It's pretty quick to put together once you have all the petals punched out. Let me know what you think, the girls enjoyed the project.

Next post will be the gift that goes inside the bag. Thanks for stopping by!
