Mothers' day card for Grandmother

I made this card for my Grandmother for Mothers' Day... It is simple and yet caring enough for a woman.

Cut a 4" hole in the center of card, used Stampin' Up Word Play set to stamp sentiment, added a frame around the the circle. added embellishment to frame for dimension and then flowers along the bottom of card.

For more questions please contact me! :)

Valentine Creations have Begun..!

Now that the tree is put away and the sugars from stocking treats and baked goodies has settled in its time to get back to reality.. oh wait.. Valentine's is right around the corner... another reason to be in the scrap room all day :)

Here is the first of my creations: (with more to come!)

I saw the bottom part of the card with the shadowed trapezoids somewhere else but I cannot remember where, sorry!

The top part of the card is cased from the very popular Stampin Up "Valentine Defined" set.. instead of stamping it onto the card I used the idea to make my own wires with confetti and beads.. maybe next time I will just stamp it as it seems to take less time!

Happy Scrappin' ... thanks for looking :)

Christmas Cone Party Favors / Decorations

Here I used 3 classic Christmas icons to design cone party favors... these can hang on the tree, sit in an ice cream cone holder on the table, or hang on the wall like a stocking.

The reindeer uses my 3 year old sons hands as templates for the antlers!!

For the Santa I made his beard "fluffly" by shredding cotton balls and sticking them on to a 3" scallop circle cut in half for the beard.

And the snowman comes complete with top hat and sticks for his arms...

For templates or directions on how to make these please email me.

Family Candle

Using the recent craze of tissue paper and heat guns.. I created my own version of these charming candles. With the "All in the Family" set from SU, I created characters representing my own family and relationships from my children to those they are close to... here is an example of one I (we) did for my sister their Aunt...

On the top of the candle I used their names and a sentiment, and then added rhinestones and heart rhinestones to the top of the votive to decrease the "blank space" and add a little bling.. who doesn't like bling???

ENJOY!!

NO different than the rest...

And just like that I realized today that I have become the exact thing I have hated for years...

as I was shopping at the Rubber stamp and scrap expo here in vegas, I quickly realized that the day before Halloween I am just like Walmart... *GASP*... I can hear you now "what does she mean by that?"

Well it started about 3 years ago when I had to go and pick up black shoes for my daughters costume... on Halloween day I pulled up to Walmart and as I expected the usual greeter to flash a smile and wish us happy spending, my trail was dead ended by a GIANT christmas tree!! WHAT??!! We haven't even trick-or-treated yet... REALLY!!?? So for the last few years I have been in denial and dismay that one day Christmas season will soon be starting after the 4th of July weekend... UGH!!

Now back to the present.. so here I am shopping and spending "secret" amounts of money at the convention and as I am trying to think of all my reasons to "justify" each of my purchases when it dawns on me.. all these cute Halloween items I went gaga for only days ago now mean nothing to me! MY FAVORITE holiday thrown out the window for what... snowmen and christmas trees and wreaths... WHAT!! In my head i hear the echo... "tsk tsk tsk.. you haven't even trick-or-treated yet!!" But to me between all the cards I made that never got sent, the favors, the treat bags.. it finally dawned on me...

I am not better than the rest; Christmas season is upon us and I have to hustle to make sure I am done in time. *sigh*

Halloween Party Favors

Hallween Party Favors

For my daughters class we made these super fun Halloween Party Favors. I cased a few ideas from the LSD group (I am sorry I lost the links to refer the original ideas!). We filled frosting bags with candy corn, M&Ms, and Resees Pieces... we then made them into hats, glued them to the top note die base, made "inchies boxes" from the punches and designed 4 themed boxes (see below)... added a spooky eyeball bubble, notebook, pencil, and notebook... topped it off with a fuzzy little monster and finally 4 days later we were done... haha!!
