Candy Wrappers and Treat Holders Part1

Here's one of the Halloween candy wrappers we made in my class at Sleepover this past weekend. It is easy peasy! Isn't it cute? The squares are Tangerine Tango, Pear Pizazz and Whisper White. The largest square is 3" x 3 1/4". Cut each square 1/4 inch smaller. The stamp is from the Sweet Centers stamp set (#116521). It is stamped in Concord Crush ink. Frankie in the bottom corner is colored with the Pear Pizazz marker. Adhere the stamped image to the Pear Pizazz piece ,then punch the center out with the 1 3/8 circle punch. In order to make sure you get your hole in the right spot for the back, position the front piece on top and punch through the center. Now place a dimensional in each corner of the front piece. Place your Tootsie Pop in the middle and adhere front to back. Tie a piece of 1/8 in black ribbon on the stick. The circle in the right upper corner is the piece you punched out of the center. It has a spider on it and says "eek your sweet"! See how easy. If you have any questions, shoot me an email and I'll be glad to help if I can. Need supplies? Visit my demo website and you can place an online order and have it shipped directly to you.

Happy to Be Home!

I love to go away- you know visiting, vacation, road trip, stamping sleepover- that kind of get away. However, I love to come home too, especially if Tom Terrific didn't get to travel with me! I had a great time at Camp Chandler this weekend with the some old stamping friends and met some new ones. We didn't get much sleep, but we had a fun time stamping and eating and laughing and eating! You have never seen so many yummy snacks in your life. If you think this sounds like fun- the watch for post on our next one in the Spring! We'd love to have you join us. I will be sharing the candy wrappers we made at sleepover over the next several days, I will also be offering this class this month for the ladies in my stamping circle who didn't get to join us at camp. If you are interested in that class, PLEASE let me know.

However, today I am back to sharing Christmas card ideas. This one I think you will love. It's called a Tri-fold card. It is definitely awesome! This card uses Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla Cardstock, Jolly Holiday Designer series paper, Perfect Punches stamp set and Four the Holiday greeting inside the card, Old Olive 5/8 in ribbon is layered on front. It's pretty, but wait til it's open!

Isn't that cool. I just love this card and I'd love to show you how to make it! Hope you like this one too. Now, go bless someone today and you will receive a blessing back! Love yall!

I Won!

Girls, I am so excited! Okay, it's not a huge big deal, but I participated in a SUDSOL Design Challenge. The leader of the group offered a challenge using these little wheel builders from the Holiday Mini. This was the first time I tried a Design challenge and I actually won. I have to admitt in all fairness- there weren't a lot of entries. SUDSOL is a group of online SU demo's who help each other and share ideas and stuff. Anyway, I won a free week on my membership!Almost anything free is good, not including animals! There is no such thing as a free animal.

This card uses 2 of the mini wheels in the Holiday Mini, Little cardinals and Little Ornaments. I used a spacer between them, to make room for the room and banner. The blue layer is Pacific Point, then basic black. The wheels were done is black craft ink and embossed with Clear embossing powder, then I colored them in with Real Red and Pacific Point markers. The Peace on Earth is from the stamp set Four the Holidays. The Real Red base was also wheeled on with Real Red ink. Gone questions? I'm just an email or phone call away. Gotta run leave for Fall Sleepover tomorrow. WooHOO! Be blessed and go bless someone else!

Good Morning World. It's a beautiful day here in Dixie! I love the Scripture that says, " This is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it." It is one of my favorite verses. God made today for today, my responsibility is to rejoice in it! Whatever comes my way and I promise I am getting use to not so great things coming my way lately. However, I am determined to rejoice in today. I am working on projects for Fall Sleepover this weekend. I am really excited about some really cute projects we are doing. I am not going to post pictures until after sleepover, so stay tuned for them the first of next week. Now, off to my crafting table. Have a very blessed day. Know that you are loved with an unconditional love that is nearly impossible to understand. If I can help you in any way, please let me know. "God Bless you real good now."

You light up this place with that smile on your face!

Hey Friends, I hope and pray all is well with yall. I am still hobbling, but at least I am able to get around. Nothing profound today! It's a Monday. Tomorrow night my hostess club will be making this card for the upcoming Halloween season. Now, you probably have guessed I'm not a big Halloween fan- but I think this Batty for You stamp set is really cute. It is so versatile! It has 8 stamps that can be used with the 1 3/8 circle punch to make some really cute Fall Holiday projects. This card focuses on circles. I used the 1 3/4 circle punch all the way down to the 1/2 circle punch. The cardstock is Pumpkin Pie, Concord Crush, Pear Pizazz, Basic Black and Whisper White. It sounds almost good enough to eat! Some of the circles are on dimensionals and there is just a little ribbon added. I really like the little pumpkin's saying" You light up this place with that smile on your face." I hope whoever gets this card will smile. Last week we talked about passion, this week why not share your passion with someone. Make a new friend, or mend a broken friendship. Send that long lost friend a card you made all yourself. Be a blessing and you will be blessed.

Happy Birthday Big Haley from Cadie Bug!

I have the cutest card ever to show you! Of course that is my humble opinion. Jeanna Cable did a how to video of this card. I changed it a very little and made it for Cadiebug to give to Big Haley for her birthday today. Most of you that read my blog know Cadiebug is my 3 yr. old GD, she loves bugs! and all creepy things. Big Haley is her 7 yr. old friend not to be confused with Little Haley, her 3yr. old friend. I have kept Cadie since she was 6 weeks old and kept little Haley for about 2 yrs. Everyone thought they were twins. The concept of two friends with the same name has given Cadie some difficulty, so she started calling her new friend, Big Haley! This card is made using the Big Shot and the large scallop circle, the wide oval punch and several circle punches. I also used the smallest heart from the three heart punch. the wings are added with brads, so they will open. Isn't that the cutest. If you have questions about making these drop me an email and I'll be happy to give you instructions. Have a great Day. Be Blessed and Be a blessing!

Thinking of You

Good Morning! Well, it's the end of September and we are still experiencing temperatures in the 90's. Cadie is still swimming with her friend "Big Haley" every afternoon. Cadie is 3 and Big Haley is having her 7th birthday party tomorrow, hence the name Big Haley! I have been busy at my crafting table. This is a busy week, Hostess club Tuesday and Fall sleep over Friday and Saturday. We have 19 ladies attending sleepover this year. I can't wait. It will be a blast and the weather is suppose to be perfect. A little cooler and maybe some rain! Lord, we need some rain.

Sticking with the Fall theme colored cards I have a really simple but pretty card to share with you today. Again, I'm using the Autumn Days stamp set #115452). It is just perfect for this time of year. The cardstock is More Mustard, Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive and Very Vanilla. Inks are the same colors, except no Vanilla and I used a Pumpkin Pie marker to highlight the pheasant. The Rich Razzleberry piece is stamped with the oak leaf from this set in the same color. This is another great masculine card. Happy Birthday or some other saying could be used in place of Thinking of You. Well, it's that time again, gotta go. Live passionately today, bless those around you and then you will be truely blessed.
