And then Halloween was Over

The Hoot was a goodie bag made for my children's class. I love how you can make so much out of punches and the Big Shot. The cute faux apple was made by a fellow demonstrator. It was just so cute I kept it as a decoration in my kitchen. And now on to Thanksgiving.

This was an idea I saw another demonstrator use to make a baked gift a little extra special. Yummy pumpkin bread from our patcher to yours.

Boo Banner

You can make all kinds of banners using the pennant die cut. It's quick and easy to make special decorations for all occasions.

Teacher Gift Bag

A cleaver treat bag can be made with the Big Shot pennant die

Goodie Bags

These bags were made for a younger group of children for Halloween. The Big Shot Build a Bear die cuts were used.

Sun Catcher

This is a sun catcher made by another crafter in the house. Isn't it beautiful.

A Christmas Card Using Autumn Days

Well it's been awhile since I put a project on my blog and it feels good. This is a Christmas card using a fall stamp set called Autumn Days. I saw a similar card at Regionals and I had to make it. Hope you like it.

Regional Swap

I'm going away next weekend to a Regional Conference with Stampin Up. We can bring a card to swap so I came up with this one. The tree has a cracked glass effect.

Memory Tin

This is a favor made for a baby shower my daughter and I went to. It's a memory can to jot down all those presious memories.

Preschool Favor

This is a treat made for my daughter's preschool classmates.

Swap it to Me 2

This is my second card. Not sure which I'm going to bring. Rasberry Lemonade designer series paper and Rich Razzleberry ink.

Swap it to Me

I made this card for a card swap. The stamp set is Circle Circus. The papers are chocolate chip, whisper white and bashful blue. The inks are chocolate chip, soft suede and bashful blue. Acessories include whisper white organza ribbon, buttons and the big shot textured plate, large poka dots.

Mojo Monday on Thursday

This is the first time I tried the Mojo Monday sketch challange. It really is fun and gets you going. The stamp set was Autumn Days and I used the new in colors, Crushed Curry and Dusty Durango.

Gift Card Holder

My sons is going to a birthday party today. I tried to make a gift card for the first time. This one has some slide action when you open it. The gift card pops out. I just love this new set, Lots of Bots. It's so fun, it's sure to put you in a good mood.

Summer Scrapbook Page

I made this page for my son's scrapbook. He's on a swim team this year and I wanted to highlight his achievements. I used the new stamp set, circle circus.

July 4th Scrapbook Page

I love this page, but it is still work in progress. The large firecracker still needs some sparkle and journaling. And then I have to add the photo.

Make and Take

Last weekend we had our monthly meeting with my up, down and sidelines. I love saying and writing that. My upline, Kim, had make and takes for us. This is what we made.

Happy Father's Day

I was recently involved in a Relay for Life with my stampin group. Since it was Father's Day weekend we made cards for the kids to color and give to their dads. This is the one my son made.

Birthday Cards

It's so much fun making birthday cards and here are two of the latest.

Party Favor 2

I recently had a Tastefully Simple party and decided to make a party favor. This is a binder clip I transformed into a photo clip. I thought it could also be used as a recipe card holder.

Party Favor

My daughter had a birthday party a few weeks ago. I decided to make a party favor using two retired sets that I still love, Toy Box and Buttons, Bows and Twinkle Toes.

Mother's Day

It was a nice Mother's Day. We went out for breakfast with my family. And my kids who are just multitalented made these creations for their Nee-Nee and Mina. I love my cuties.

Note Card and Gift Box

I found this project on the StampinUp Demonstrator website and I just had to copy it. It's a gift box with six note cards. What made it so interesting to me was that you then make interchangeable sayings you can pick and choose to add to the card. The sayings included are; Just for You, Thank You, Fabulous Friend and Best Wishes. The stamps set used is called, Oval All. I just love this stamp set and project.

Good Friend Paperbag Scrapbook

This past weekend a group of my demonstrator friends and I got together for a marathon day of stamping. One of the projects we made together was this cute paperbag scrapbook. It consists of 6 pages within the scrapbook plus three additional pull-out pages. The stamp set used is called, "Good Friend", and the colors are fun and bright. I think this scrapbook would be great to showcase your children and their friends or maybe their pets.

Easter S'Mores

This is a picture of an Easter gift I made for my friend, Kim and her family. It's Easter S'Mores in a jar. Just add a few ingredients and you have a yummy treat.

These is a little stampin, but not much on this one.

Easter Treats

It's been a while since I put something on my blog. Busy being a mom. Well here is a small Easter favor I made for my son's scout den. I love my Bigshot.

Stamp-a-Stack Card Samples

These are the cards we will be making for the Stamp-a-Stack on May 29th. Wow. It was so much fun making these cards with my group. We used a new technique on one of the cards and the big shot on the other two.

Anniversary Card

It's my aunt and uncle's anniversary so here's there card.

My Upline, Kim, had a great class a few weeks ago. We made this paper purse. It has a coordinating pen and two gift cards inside. I may also do a class on this purse in May as a Mother's Day gift.

Easter Projects

Still getting ready for the open house. My mom and I have been making some little gifts for sale that day. Here are some samples.

Hostess Gift

My upline, Kim suggested I make this as a Hostess Gift. The bag and a set of three cards are for anyone who hosts a StampinUp party.

Easter Scrapbook Layouts

Here are two pages I put together for my first scrapbook class. The theme is Easter. These are the backgrounds to add pictures to. I think I am going to charge $10 for the two page spread. Or if anyone wants to place a StampinUp order of $35, the class is free. Also I may give customers the options of changing the color scheme of the Spring page to pink and green. I think the major colors are covered for those cute Easter outfits.

Thanksgiving and Christmas

Here are some two past creations from the holidays. A Thankful banner and a Countdown to Xmas calendar.

March 9, 2009

I made this party hat recently to go along with a gift card. I thought it came out pretty good.
