Fun Project

So here is a fun project that I have been working on.  The class is this Friday and I can't wait to shae the finished project and see what the girls come up with and how different everyone's will be.  I will post a few pictures after the class.

Have a Wonderful Day, Candice :-)

Stepped Up

Okay so I stepped it up a bit, made a few changes so that it would be a good enough card for my Annual Christmas Stamp-A-Stack.  I love that it took on a whole new look, just by making 2 little changes.  The Stamp-A-Stack was this past weekend and I think it went really well, smaller than usual but it was also a bit latter this year, in the past it was held before Thanksgiving.  Well thanks for stopping by, see ya tomorrow.

Bright Thank You

So I have been just a bit busy sorry I have not posted anything much lately.  But I do have this cute little thank you to share today.  I have had this set for a bit but I just mounted it this morning and made a bunch of thank you notes,  so I though I would share it with you.  I know it is fall but hey these colors are a bit more HAPPY feeling.  Hope you like, thanks for stopping in.

New Stampin' Trimmer

Would ya look at that

Well OH MY GOSH!!!  I just say this Color Challenge Over at ColourQ and had to play along.  I actually made my card on the 17th to play along with The Friday Mashup Challenge 80.  I usually do not play along with color challenges, not really sure why, but I find them a bit more difficult for some reason.  I just had to throw this one in especially since the colors are all the same.  So go on over to the ColourQ blog to check out some other cards made with these colors.   Thanks for stopping in.

Have a Wonderful Day, Candice :-)

Faux Metal

NO it's not tin foil or metal sheet it is foil/metal tape, yes it is a tape.  This is what you would use around your dryer vent and you get a bunch of it for cheap.  All you have to do is peel and stick it to a piece of card stock, remember to overlap it just a little you don't want the card stock to peek through.  You might get a few wrinkles but they can be rubbed out pretty easily.  When you emboss it you really can't see the seems and wrinkles unless you really look hard.  I didn't want this card to be so shinny so I took some black acrylic pant and gave it a quick brush over.  See ya tomorrow.

Have a Wonderful Day, Candice :-)

CAS(e) This Sketch

Here is a cute little sketch from CAS(e) this Sketch.

There are some really cute cards done with this sketch you can check out the post here.  I thought this was an easy, simple, and sweet sketch, so yep I played.  Here is what I came up with.  My colors are very cool so not warm for this time of the year, oh well, hope you like it.  Thanks for stopping in.

Jolly Christmas Card

Cute little fold

Just wanted to post something real quick.  I had a show this morning and another one this evening, and this is one of the cute projects.  Hope you all have a wonderful weekend, thanks for stopping in.

Washi What

Okay I have seen a few things out there with washi tape and this is another one of those things that I love but have not bought yet and now I wont have to "BECAUSE", I will make my own "PLEASE", and it is supper easy to do.  I just used cheap tissue paper and double sided sticky tape.  Some tissue paper out there has a gloss to it, not sure if it matters but I used the  back side which did not have a glossy finish.  The designs could be never ending...  I designed my own by using various stamps and OH by the way we have great colors.  What fun!!!  Thanks for stopping by.

Have a Wonderful Day, Candice :-)

Halloween Lollie

Okay so this will be a two part post.  I am working on a Halloween Banner and this is just one of the items that will be found on it.  With this great Die it is just so easy to make these cute little things.  I just love this time of the year,  Fall is my FAVORITE!!!  This weekend will be the start to all of my Fall decorating, perfect no football for Sam this weekend and really no plans, so we will be busy pulling out and making some fun stuff.  Thanks for stopping in.

Tough Mudder Project

Okay so I just loved how these turned out and I could not wait to post it.  My girlfriend Rachel made these photo cards and she gave me a few of them so of course I just had to make something.  I thought that these ornaments would look so cute in a frame along with the photo.  The colors for the Tough Mudder are orange and black so this DSP that I used was just perfect.  I ended up making 3 of these one for each of my girlfriends and of course my husband, not sure what he is going to do with it but anyway he is getting one.  I am playing this one along with  Stampin' Royalty Challenge 143, which wants us to use our Big Shot/Die Cuts.  I am doing a class in October for my girls and I will show them how to make these GREAT ornaments.  They will be able to pick any DSP from my stash, can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.  Thanks for stopping in.

The Tough Mudders in this group are JoAnn, Eric (my husband) Me, Rachel, and Rob.

Oh My Goodness the parking lot was a muddy mess.  It rained all afternoon and when we got back to the car we were a bit shocked.  It took us 2 hours to get out of the lot, people were getting stuck all over the place.  I was amazed at all the people helping each other, even on the course everyone wanted to lend a helping hand.  The Tough Mudder was actually cancelled for Sunday.
