Halloween Cones

OMG are we getting a bunch of rain, good day to stay in and make homemade Chicken Noodle Soup for dinner.  Kids are getting out 2 hours early because of this mess.  We are going to pop some popcorn and watch a movie when they get home, stay in and stay dry.

Well anyway on to these cute little things.  I am in the process of making a bunch of these cones for a Halloween Tree.  Kim over at Stamin by the Sea gave a Tutorial on these cute guys so I just started making a bunch (fun, fun, fun), I am not finished but I will show you guys the tree on Monday.  Thanks Kim you are such an inspiration :-)

Have a wonderful Day, Candice :-)

Bag Tag

I picked up these packs of chipboard in a dollar bin (5 pieces of chipboard per package) and I grabbed a bunch, about 10 packs. At the time I didn't even know what I was going to do with them, I just knew I needed to get them, and they have been sitting in my room for about 7 months. I thought I could use them at my I-Crafty Camp but I had way to many other projects that I wanted to do with them. Well just the other day I was blog surfing and saw a really cute round gift bag tag, and the first thing I thought of were these great packs of chipboard. I pulled two of them out and this is what I came up with.

What a cute way to dress up a gift bag.

I also played along with Stampin' Royalty Anything but a Card Challenge #38, so go stop on by and check out some of the other great projects here at their blog. Hope you like it, thanks for stopping in.

Reduce Reuse and Recycle

Nothing like being able to reuse something to reduce in the amount of trash... So I saw a card and I wish I could remember where I saw it and it was using card board like in my card and I just thought it was the coolest idea, hope you like it.

So anyway my card for the Baltimore SWAP will be really similar to this one. I know its two weeks away and there is nothing like waiting to the last minute, but I seem to work better under pressure. Well thanks for stopping in.

The Projects

Here are a few shots from my Friday Halloween Class, which I though went really well and all the girls seemed to really enjoy themselves. In the first 3 photos the girls are hard at work creating their background for the frame. You can click on the photos to get a much closer look. Thanks for stopping by.

Look close can you see the owl face... It is upside down...

Okay can you see anything in this photo that just does not belong...

Here are 5 of the finished projects and I have all the bats left to play with.
I will be making a T-shirt with those guys.

Bow Tying 101

Oh I just love how she shows how to tie a perfect bow and knot ON the spool with hardly any waste. I know its not a Stampin' UP! video but this video is not selling anything so I think it is okay for me to post this. Hope it helps, it sure did for me.

Love These Decore Elements

Okay so I was busy getting everything together for my Class on Friday, see this post for the details. Boy oh boy you really can get a bunch of projects out of the Spooky Things Decore Elements sheet. I don't want to give to much away for Fridays class but I got 7 different projects, the girls will be going home with 4 completed projects, and then they will have extra stuff to take home and play with. On Friday I will post all of my projects. Thanks for stopping in.

So this his little guy was one of my extra spiders.
I grabbed a $1 mug and slapped him on it and look how cute,
add a ribbon and a tag and what a cute gift this would be...

So this one is a little peek of one of the projects they will be making.

and well this one I saw and just had to make it, isn't it just so pretty.

Have a Wonderful Day, Candice :-)

Designer Fabric by Stampin' Up!

Easy-Peasy

Just something a little simple and sweet. I love how the cris-cross (plus sign) of two of these labels look. I showed the girls at one of my last shows this cute little trick, just by taking two of these punches and making it into this. The punch is the new large Decorative Label found in the new Holiday Mini catalog on page 25 (item # 120907). This new mini is well going to break my budget!!! But then again I never can stick to a budget, he he he. Thanks for stopping in...

Wine Bottle Tag

So don't you think this would look cute hanging from a bottle of wine??? Check out the photo's below. When we all got that great gift at the end of convention Shelli held up some projects that used this set and one of them really caught my eye. So of course I have added my own touch to this project. Hope you like what I have done with it, thanks for stopping in.

this is actually not even a bottle wine
