Give Thanks

This simple simple card was made at my last In Home Workshop.  I love how it turned out with the flower (Boho Blossoms) and Lace Ribbon Border.  Using water is best for these pretty flowers.  Just give the pieces a lite spritz and then just crinkle them up, and then very gently un-crinkle them, layer and pierce them to put the brad through.  Thanks for stopping by.

Treat Holder - Week 9 Monster Mash Blog Hop

Okay so our Key West trip was just AWESOME except for the bad sunburn on my back (I didn't reapply the sunscreen).  My husband and mother-in-law just left for the airport and the kids and I are just hanging out today :-)  It is always nice having her here but it is also nice just being us.  So here is a little treat holder that I made, I love this cute little Scallop Envelope.  Well anyway thanks for stopping in.

So I saw this and I am going to give it a try and play along for the next 3 Mondays. 


Here are the rules:
1. It has to be Halloween, card or 3D item.
2. It does not have to be 100% SU 80% is ok.
3. Yes using Retired is OK...
4. Use this Monster Mash Badge/Graphic in your
    post and a link back to Shirley Pumpkin's blog:
    http://lookatmycutestuff.blogspot.com/
5. Add your card to the blog hop then put the code
    on your post.
6. You can enter as many times as you like, but each
    entry has to be a new card and a new post.

Pick your Poison

So I was surfing this morning while having my yummy cup of coffee, as I do every morning, I stopped by one of my friends blogs.  I  saw that she had joined in on this cute and easy sketch/color challenge...

and well since I seem to be stamping more I decided to put this card together.  I usually do not do color challenges, they just seem harder for me to do, don't know why????  So well anyway here is what I came up with using the sketch.  Thanks for stopping in.

Extreme Elements

Oh I am trying to get all my ducks in a row before we leave for Key West next week.  My mother-in-law is coming into town to watch the kids, can't wait to get back in the sun.  I have three workshops back to back right after this trip so I am trying to get those things done now, sometimes it just seems that I work better under a time restraint.

Well anyway I had a hostess workshop on Friday and it went really well, thanks Tara for hosting and I just love your new home.  We made three cards two birthday and one Christmas.  Two of the cards were very simple and easy to make, the 3rd card  was that folded card I showed you last week.  So thanks for stopping in.

Folded Card

All in a Glow

So here is a card that the girls will be making Friday at the workshops.  This card is using a Stamp Set out of the new Holiday Mini Catalog Piece of Poison along with the new Pick your Poison DSP.  Did you notice that he kinda sparkles, I used our new dazzling details, not to much just a little.  I used the new Simply Scored to prepare for this workshop and can I say "it made my life easy" Just Love It!!!  The Quick Accents are just AWESOME, great way to decorate your candy jars for all those Halloween decoration can't wait to put mine out.  Thanks for stopping by.

I know the lighting in this photo is not the best

but you can really see the SPARKLE

A few Cards

So I did have my In-Home Workshop on Friday, and it went really well, it was great seeing everyone after Summer Vacation.  I ended up having 2 shows one at 9:30 and the other at 5:30.  I had a total of 12 gals come even with Irene headed our way.  We made 3 projects and they seemed to go over well with everyone.  Since I had just got back from Disney I had to make a Mickey Mouse Card.  I had seen a card similar to this one so of course I knew when I saw it this was a must case!!!

Pinwheels seem to be big so of course I had to make this one, and yes it is also a case.

This is a great way to use up those scraps DSP.  The size of the large pinwheel is 2 x 2 and the small one is 1 1/2 x 1 1/2.  Perfect size for this card. 

Hope you all are doing okay after Irene.  Eric and I took the kids to Rita's Sunday night and we were just shocked by all the devastation that St. Mary's county received.  :-(
