Halloween Class!

My Halloween Class will be this Friday, October 26 at 7:00 pm. Email me to sign up!

At the class, you will make 10 treat bags and 2 cards which are pictured below.

The bags are vellum which can be dry embossed using a variety of embossing folders. You choose the stamps you wish to use on the tags. Fill them with your choice of candy and you have a perfect little Halloween treat to give! (Sorry, but the candy is not supplied at the class.)

The card below uses the mummy from the Googly Ghouls stamp set along with the Howlstooth & Scaringbone Designer Series Paper. This is a CASE from Julie Davison. 

This next card is a great size when you need a smaller card. It is half the size of a regular card. What I like best about it, is that you can cut a regular size envelope in half for it! This card is a smaller version of the one created by Becky Roberts

Still Alive!

Can it really be almost a month since my last post?!?! I haven't stamped a lot this summer as we have been busy with family, kids, soccer, basketball, staining our deck & porch, landscaping, and now we are in the midst of sweet corn season. My family grows sweet corn that we sell, so the month of  August we practically live at my parents and help out. Enough about what is going on...you came to see some stamping! So, enjoy the pictures below. I made these for the 4th of July for friends that invited us over. They would also be appropriate for the Olympics!

I filled 1x8 cello bags with white mini marshmallows and blue and red jelly beans. The card is made by using the scallop punch on red designer paper and white card stock and adhering the strips to a white card base. I sponged white onto a navy rectangle and then use white craft ink on the stars.

A Day Late...

I made this card last week for the color challenge at colorQ, cQc#142, but I didn't get a picture taken in time to link it to their site. Oh well...and, after I took the picture I noticed I had goofed up on on of the banners. Do you see the mistake?!?! I adapted this layout from a card I saw on Pinterest.

Personal Note: 

This week our kids begin swimming lessons. I signed them up for the "short" course...four days, but an hour each day. My in-laws are coming tonight to stay for two days and watch the kids play soccer, I'm having a garage sale on Thursday and Friday that I'm getting ready for, and Lily starts 3 on 3 b-ball this week. It's another full week for us!

Open Sea

The stamp set Open Sea is back in the catalog...well, it was always available to purchase last year as a write-in, but since the picture wasn't in the catalog, I would forget about. So, I have pulled it out and made a couple of masculine cards. This card was based on the sketch challenge at Sketch Frenzy Friday, SFF 061512 and the colors were from the challenge at Create with Connie & Mary, CCMC206.

Stamps: Open Sea, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Card Stock: Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, Summer Smooches Designer Paper

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
