GINGERBREAD MEN

I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED GINGERBREAD MEN.  ONE YEAR I HAD A WHOLE CHRISTMAS DECORATED WITH THEM.  IT WAS AWESOME

HERE IS A CARD THAT WAS FUN TO MAKE AND SATISFIES THE "GINGIE" IN ME.

 AREN'T THEY SO CUTE??!!  I JUST LOVE HOW THE STAMP SET AND THE FRAMELITS WORK TOGETHER. MADE IT SO VERY EASY AT MY CARD CLUB FOR EVERYONE TO CUT OUT THEIR GINGIES.  WE PUT THEM UP ON STAMPIN' DIMENSIONALS.

INK:  MORE MUSTARD AND CHERRY COBBLER (SPONGED AROUND EDGE OF CARD)
PAPER:  VERY VANILLA FOR CARD BASE AND THE CHRISTMAS PAPER PACK DSP
RIBBON:  REAL RED 1/8"
OTHER:  CHERRY COBBLER DAZZLING DETAILS
                 HOLIDAY FRAMELITS

I SPONGED WITH CHERRY COBBLER LIGHTLY AROUND THE EDGE OF THE VERY VANILLA CARD STOCK BASE OF THE CARD,

THIS IS THE SINGLE STAMP I JUST GOT.  STAMPED INSIDE WITH CHERRY COBBLER.

STAY TUNED FOR ANOTHER CARD TOMORROW FROM OUR CHRISTMAS CARD CLUB.

HERE'S TO INKY FINGERS Y'ALL.

COOL FALL MORNING AND A CREATION

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL, CLEAR, COOL FALL MORNING HERE AT MY DAUGHTER'S HOME IN UTAH.  THE SKY IS A BRILLANT CLEAR BLUE WITH THE SUN JUST PEAKING OVER THE MOUNTAINS.

 WELL IT WAS SO MUCH PRETTIER IN PERSON.  THE SUNLIGHT ON THE MOUNTAINS WERE GOLDEN.  THIS IS FROM THEIR BACKYARD OVERLOOKING THE GOLF COURSE.

 THIS IS THEIR BACKYARD WITH THE KOI FISH POND.

HERE IS MY BUDDY WHO IS KEEPING ME COMPANY WHILE THE KIDS ARE IN SCHOOL.  SEE HOW HE SMILES??!!  I NEVER KNEW ANYONE WITH A STANDARD POODLE BEFORE. HE IS A VERY NICE BOY AND EXTREMELY SMART.

I KNOW YOU WERE HOPING FOR A CRAFTING PHOTO, SO I WANTED TO SHOW YOU A CUTE LARGE PURSE I MADE FOR MY KAYLEIGH.

 THIS IS MADE WITH AN UNKNOWN DESIGNER PAPER WITH SOME GLITTER SPARKLES ON IT.  I USED STAMPIN UP RIBBON FOR THE HANDLES.

 HERE IS A CLOSEUP OF THE PAPER ROSE ON THE FRONT.  I TAUGHT MY GRAND DAUGHTER HOW TO MAKE A PUNCHED PAPER FLOWER.

 BETTER CLOSEUP OF THE FLOWER ON THE FRONT, AS WELL AS THE VELCRO CLOSURE ABOVE IT.

HOPE YOU ENJOYED THESE PHOTOS OF THE PURSE I MADE WITH A 12  X 12 PIECE OF DESIGNER PAPER.  (THE TOP AND THE FLOWER WERE MADE WITH AN ADDITIONAL PIECE.)

IF I CAN HELP YOU WITH ANY IDEAS OR CREATIONS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.  AND IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A DEMONSTRATOR ALREADY, I WOULD LOVE TO BE YOURS.

AS ALWAYS, YOU CAN ORDER ANY TIME OF THE DAY OR NIGHT BY CLICKING BELOW.

HAPPY FALL Y'ALL AND HAPPY CREATING.

DAY 5 - LAST DAY OF BLOG HOP

I AM SORRY I WAS LATE POSTING MY CARD YESTERDAY.  I MADE A MISTAKE AND SCHEDULED IT TO POST AT 4 PM INSTEAD OF 4 AM.  IF YOU DID NOT SEE YESTERDAYS POST, PLEASE GO DOWN AFTER THIS POST TO SEE IT AND DON'T FORGET TO LEAVE YOUR COMMENTS FOR THE BLOG CANDY.  I AM SORRY...

WELL, ALL GOOD THINGS MUST COME TO AN END...I AM SAD FOR THIS FUN BLOG HOP TO COME TO AN END.  I HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT AS MUCH AS WE DID.  SO MANY FUN IDEAS!!

TODAY I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE WITH YOU WHAT I RECEIVED DURING MY CHRISTMAS CARD SWAP WITH MY DOWNLINE, JODY V. AND FRIENDS.  THESE CARDS RANGE FROM AMAZING TO "CUTE AND SIMPLE" AND I LOVE THEM ALL!!

 I LIKE THE SIMPLE BEAUTY OF THIS ONE.  JUST A FEW PIECES OF DESIGNER PAPER AND A PUNCHED SNOWFLAKE AND VOILA - A BEAUTIFUL CARD.  THE SENTIMENT SAYS IT ALL!!

THE BUTTON AND THE EDGE PUNCHED PAPER REALLY CARRY THIS CARD A LONG WAY.  AND THE EMBOSSING FOLDER ON THE VANILLA MAKE IT WONDERFUL ALSO.  LOVE IT.

 THIS SIMPLY ELEGANT CARD IS BY JOEBY.  IT DOESN'T NEED ANOTHER THING BECAUSE IT SPEAKS VOLUMES IN IT'S ELEGANCE, DOESN'T IT?  GREAT JOB!! I CAN HEAR LINUS FROM THE PEANUTS GANG SPEAKING THE WORDS: "AND LO, THERE WERE SHEPHERDS WATCHING THEIR FLOCKS BY NIGHT..." FROM IT'S A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS.

JOEBY ALSO DID THIS ORNAMENT CARD.  THE FRAMELIT IS PERFECT WITH THE ORNAMENT HANGING IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.  THE EXTRA LAYER AND THE PEARL ADD SOME REAL PRETTINESS. LOVE THE COLORS TOO.

OH, THIS ONE DOESN'T SHOW UP AS CUTE AS IT IS.  ONE OF MY FAVORITES.  THE SNOW GLOBE HAS A WINDOW SHEET ON THE FRONT SO IT REALLY LOOKS LIKE A SNOW GLOBE.  THIS WAS DONE BY JODY'S MOM AND SHE DID A REMARKABLE JOB.  SAD THE PHOTO DOESN'T DO IT JUSTICE. SNOW GLOBES AND SNOWFLAKES...PERFECT!

SO ELEGANT, ISN'T IT?  FIRST I LOVE THE BIGZ CLEAR OVAL ACCENT DIE CUT IN WHISPER WHITE.  THEN I AM CRAZY ABOUT HOW THE ORNAMENT LOOKS WITH THE STRIPED DESIGNER PAPER AND THE GREEN RIBBON.  HARD TO SEE, BUT THERE ARE SOME RHINESTONES ON THE ORNAMENT AND DOTTING THE "I" ON CHRISTMAS...  ADORABLE.

 FUN FUN FUN IS WHAT I WOULD USE TO DESCRIBE THIS CARD.  THE SNOWFLAKE PAPER IS FUN, THE MERRY CHRISTMAS BANNER IS ALSO FUN AND THEN THE CUTE TREES FROM THE NEW SET IN THE MINI CATALOG CALLED SCENTSATIONAL SEASON. THE CANDY CANE STRIPED PAPER GIVES IT THE WHIMSICAL FEEL.

OK, I SAVED MY VERY FAVORITE FOR LAST.  JODY AND JILL MADE THIS ONE TOGETHER AND IT IS A HOOT!! (GET THE PUN?) SANTA OWL IS THE MOST ADORABLE THING I HAVE EVER SEEN!!  LOOK AT THIS FAT BELLY WITH HIS BLACK BELT AND THE CUTE BELT BUCKLE.  WHAT ATTENTION TO DETAIL THESE GALS DID.  THEY EVEN PUT SOME BLING ON THE BUCKLE (EVERYONE IN TEXAS WEARS BLING ON THEIR BUCKLES, IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW!!)  HIS EYES SAY IT ALL AND MAKE ME LAUGH.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS ONE GALS!!  GREAT JOB ON ALL THE CARDS!!

DAY TWO - GLITTER QUEENS BLOG HOP

DID YOU ENJOY ALL OUR PROJECTS FROM YESTERDAY?  I GOT SOME GOOD IDEAS FROM MY FELLOW GLITTER QUEENS!!

TODAY I HAVE SOME MORE HALLOWEEN IDEAS FOR YOU.  TAKE A LOOK AT THIS:

ISN'T THIS JACK-O-LANTERN ADORABLE??!!  THIS IS FROM THE" GOT TREATS" STAMP SET.  I HAVE A LOT GOING ON BUT IT IS ALL PRETTY SIMPLE.  FIRST, MY CARD BASE IS PUMPKIN PIE.  THEN A LAYER OF BASIC BLACK TOPPED WITH SOME DESIGNER PAPER IN PUMPKIN PIE.  A SMALL LAYER OF DESIGNER PAPER PUMPKINS AT THE BOTTOM FINISHES OFF THE LAYERS.

THE BLACK DOILY LAYER BEHIND MY JACK IS FROM THE PENNANT DIE FOR THE BIG SHOT.  LOVE IT!!  AND I USED THE SCALLOP CIRCLE PUNCH TO PUNCH OUT JACK AFTER I STAMPED HIM IN PUMPKIN PIE.  I COLORED IN HIS EYES WITH MY BLACK MARKER.  I WANTED TO USE MY BLACK RHINESTONES BUT COULD NOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME FIND THEM.  BUT THIS WORKS JUST FINE.

MY BANNER WAS MADE ON WHISPER WHITE AS I STAMPED THE SENTIMENT "GOT TREATS?" 3 TIMES IN A ROW.  I SNIPPED THE ENDS TO BE BANNER-ISH (IS THAT A WORD?) AND USED GLUE DOTS AT BEGINNING AND END TO HAVE IT FLAP IN THE BREEZE, SO TO SPEAK.  I ROUGHLY TREATED THE EDGES OF THE BANNER WITH SOME PUMPKIN PIE INK.

NEXT ARE TWO CUTE TREAT CONTAINERS FOR SOME FRIENDS. 

 I USED MY LARGE SCALLOP CIRCLE DIE FOR MY BIG SHOT.  THIS IS A 3 1/2 INCH CIRCLE, I BELIEVE.  IT IS BIG THAT MUCH I KNOW.  I CUT 8 SCALLOPS STRAIGHT OFF THE BOTTOM SO IT WOULD STAND FLAT.

THEN I AGAIN USED THE "GOT TREATS?" STAMP SET AND STAMPED THE LARGER SENTIMENT FOR THIS PROJECT.  I USED PUMPKIN PIE SATIN RIBBON TOPPED WITH 1/8 INCH BLACK RIBBON ON TOP.  I PUNCHED HOLES WITH MY CROP-A-DILE AND TIED A KNOT INSIDE WITH THE RIBBON TO MAKE THE HANDLES.  I USED GLUE DOTS TO KEEP THE TWO RIBBONS TOGETHER.

HERE IS THE SAME TREAT CARRIER IN A DIFFERENT DESIGNER PAPER.  THIS IS PROBABLY MY FAVORITE PAPER FROM LAST YEAR.  I STILL HAVE A FEW SHEETS LEFT THAT I AM HOARDING BECAUSE I CAN'T BEAR TO THINK IT WILL BE GONE FOREVER!!

THE INSIDE WHERE YOU PUT THE CANDY IS JUST A SIMPLE SKINNY BOX  SCORED AND THEN GLUED TO THE TWO LARGE CIRCLE SCALLOPS.

YOU CAN PUT THE RIBBON STRAPS THROUGH EACH OTHER LIKE ABOVE AND IT LOOKS SO CUTE, OR KEEP THEM SEPARATE AS YOU CARRY IT.  DO YOU HAVE A BIG SHOT YET?  IF YES, WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE DIE.  IF NO, WHY NOT?  IF I OFFERED IT TO YOU AT A DISCOUNT, WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED?

HOPE YOU ENJOYED THESE PROJECTS TODAY.

MAY WE ALL "KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON"

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS WONDERFUL HOSTESS SET YET?  I AM SMITTEN WITH IT.  I HAD READ ABOUT THESE POSTERS THAT KING EDWARD FROM ENGLAND HAD PRINTED OUT TO ENCOURAGE THE BRITISH PEOPLE DURING WWII.  IT SPEAKS VOLUMES WITH JUST A FEW WORDS, I BELIEVE:  "KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON."  I THINK THIS SHOWS HE WAS A VERY WISE KING INDEED.

THERE ARE MANY TIMES IN OUR LIVES THAT WE CANNOT CHANGE THE CIRCUMSTANCES WE ARE EXPERIENCING, BUT WE CAN STRIVE TO KEEP OUR INNER PEACE AND "CARRY ON".  RIGHT NOW THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE FLOODED HOMES FROM HURRICANE ISAAC AND THE FLOODING RAINS OF THE REMAINING TROPICAL PORTION OF THAT STORM ARE EXPERIENCING HARD TIMES.  THE ONLY THING THAT WILL HELP THEM IS TO KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON.  PART OF KEEPING MY INNER PEACE OR KEEPING CALM IS PRAYER.

 I CREATED THIS CARD IN VERY VANILLA CARD STOCK WITH MIDNIGHT MUSE LAYERS.

 I USED INTERNATIONAL BAZAAR DESIGNER SERIES PAPER FOR THE DECORATIVE LAYER BEHIND MY SENTIMENT.  I LOVE THE COLORS USED ON THIS DSP AND PLAYED IT UP WITH MY STAMPED CROWNS AND THE NARROW RIBBON.  NOTICE AN ADDITIONAL FOLDS OF RIBBON ON THE RIGHT SIDE UNDER THE FIRST CROWN?  I THINK THAT LITTLE EXTRA TOUCH REALLY MAKES THIS CARD SPECIAL.

THE CROWNS FROM THIS SAME STAMP SET ARE STAMPED WITH CAJUN CRAZE, SUMMER STARFRUIT AND LUCKY LIMEADE INKS.  THE CROWNS AND THE SENTIMENT ARE ATTACHED WITH STAMPIN' DIMENSIONALS.

I HOPE YOU HAVE ENJOYED MY CARD.  I MADE SEVERAL OTHERS BEFORE I DECIDED I LIKED THIS LAYOUT THE BEST.  I SAW SOMETHING SIMILAR SEVERAL MONTHS AGO ON MARY FISH'S BLOG (HEY MARY!) BUT HAD TO CHANGE IT UP BECAUSE I AM NOT AS SEASONED A STAMPER AS MARY IS AND I COULD NOT MAKE IT WORK LIKE SHE DID.  SO THIS IS HER IDEA WITH MY CHANGES AND FLAIR.  HOPE YOU LIKE IT.

WON'T YOU LEAVE ME A COMMENT TO LET ME KNOW YOUR IDEAS ON THIS CARD?  I SO APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS.

SOME HOLIDAY GIFT TAGS

I JUST HAD A HANKERING TO PLAY WITH MY CUTE LITTLE SNOWMEN STAMPS.  HERE ARE SOME DARLING GIFT TAGS MADE WITH STAMPS, MY BIG SHOT AND THE TWO TAGS DIE, AND SOME PURCHASED CHIPBOARD LETTERS.

 THIS IS THE TALLER OF THE SNOWMEN IS MY STAMP SET.  HE IS TALL LIKE MY HUBBY!!  I COLORED HIM WITH MY MARKERS THEN ADDED CRYSTAL EFFECTS ON ALL HIS COAL BUTTONS.  RIBBON, TWINE AND A BUTTON ACCENT THE TOP OF THE GIFT TAG.  HE HAS TWO BIRDS AS HIS FRIENDS. I ADDED MICRO BEADS WITH CRYSTAL EFFECTS ON THIS CHIPBOARD LETTER "B" FOR BRANDON.

I FEATURE THE TALLER OF THE SNOWMEN AGAIN ON THIS TAG, AGAIN USING A BUTTON AND SOME TWINE WITH THE POLKA DOT RIBBON.  C IS FOR COLLIN.

I LOVE THIS LITTLE CHUBBY SHORT GUY.  I USED FINE GLITTER ON HIS STOCKING CAP AND HIS SCARF.  ALSO SOME ON THE SNOWBALL HE IS GETTING READY TO THROW.  THE CHERRY COBBLER GLIMMER PAPER WAS DIE CUT WITH MY BIG SHOT AS THE SCALLOPED FRAME AROUND THIS CUTE SNOW SCENE.

D IS FOR DUANE.  ISN'T THE CARROT NOSE ON THIS GUY CUTE?  LOVE THE TWIG ARMS TOO.  MORE MUSTARD CARD STOCK USED ON THIS DIE CUT GIFT TAG.

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY.  I HAVE FINISHED UP THE QUILTS FOR KIDS WE WERE MAKING AS A NEW QUILT GUILD AT OUR CHURCH.  SO I AM TRYING TO WORK WITH MY STAMPS, INK AND CARD STOCK NOW.  I MISSED IT!!

HERE IS TO CREATIVITY FOR ALL!!

LAST MINUTE LITTLE CANDY HOLDERS

HEY Y'ALL,  Today I want to show you the CUTEST EVER candy holders I made.  I saw this idea from Angie Juda - Hey Angie!!  It is with a piece of card stock 6" x 3" and looks like a little purse.  But the cutest part of it is the goofy reindeer on the front.  Here it is:

 Isn't the little reindeer so goofy it is CUTE??  He is the owl punch with the feet cut off.  Then the antlers are two parts of a punched snowflake.  LOVE IT!!

I embossed the riding hood red card stock with the Petals-a-Plenty embossing folder.  The scored to fold up to look like a purse.  It is glued shut and the nuggest or little candy bar goes inside.  I put a pack of lifesavers and it just poked out a bit on each end and still looks cute.  Just make sure you put glue on the bottom of the candy papers so they don't fall out.  On these in the photos, I used the 1/8" taffeta red ribbon for the purse handle.  You can also use the gold cord for the handle of the purse or anything else you choose.  You draw on his funny mouth with a marker any way you want.

Sorry for the bad photos.  I used my cell phone because my camera's batteries are dead.  Enjoy making these quick and fun candy holders for little "thinking of you" gifts for friends and neighbors.

Merry Christmas to everyone.

GHOUL'S NIGHT OUT CLASS - GREAT PARTY IDEAS

Hey Y'all,  I have had two Ghoul's Night Out Halloween classes so far and am loving it.  Halloween is one of my favorite times of year and so much fun.  I love the colors, the treats, the fun, etc.

Here are some treat ideas for YOUR Halloween parties that we either made or I showed them and then gave them as treats at my class.

In the Holiday Mini catalog on page 11 are these fun skinny and tall treat sacks.  Mini treat sacks are what they are really called.  I layered the fall M&M candies in colors organized to make them look even MORE fun.  All the attendees LOVED this idea and many bought the treat sacks so they could do this for their kids, parties, etc.  At only $2.50 for 50 treat sacks, this is a REAL BARGAIN.  I made different kinds of toppers with the hand held punches and a stamp.  FUN FUN FUN

 I am holding another of these treat sacks with candies lined up in it and it has a scallop circle punch topper with bat punches on it.  I left an area blank so that you can write the child's name on it if you wanted.  THE BAT PUNCH IS DEEPLY DISCOUNTED ON THE CLEARANCE RACK FOR ONLY $6.99 IF YOU GO THROUGH MY WEBSITE TO SHOP FOR IT.  WHAT A DEAL!!

On this topper I stamped a pumpkin and colored it in with chalks.  It was punched with the scallop circle punch and then attached to the top.  I sponged ink around the outside of the circle with pumpkin pie ink for some added color.

 I made some of my fun flags as decorations for the candies on the table at my party/class.  This flag is unusual because I used a bat punch and then sponged ink around the punch and removed it.  It created a negative effect with each bat.  I think it is a cool look. The small pennant on top of the flag is made with the pennant punch and I added a bat punched out on it.  ALL THE FLAGS ARE MADE WITH THE NEWSPRINT AND EARLY EDITION DSP.

 This flag was sponged with pumpkin pie ink in the middle to be the harvest moon with the bats flying around it.  I used black and orange plastic straws from the grocery store for the sticks of the flags.  I used the 1/8" black ribbon to tie the flags to the sticks.  Cute, huh?

 More flags to decorate the candies.  This one on the left is sponged with pumpkin pie ink around the edges.

 With the stamp set "Wicked Cool", I stamped and colored the witch hat and then fussy cut it out to glue to my food picks.  I then did some bat punches and glued them to picks as well.  These were stuck in small fudge squares and cheese squares for the refreshment table.  Make sure you use two with the pick in the middle when you make your fun picks.

A closeup of the bats flying near the harvest moon on my foodie flag.

 Take home gifts in brown paper bags decorated with First Edition designer paper, lollies or medallions made with the designer paper, buttons, pearls, brads and rub on monograms.

 Prizes decorated with Wicked Cool stamp set.

 Cute table with black and white table cloth of spooky, boo, etc, as well as black and white decorations.

More fun black and white decorations.  Small pumpkins decoupaged with First Edition designer paper.
