HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

Okay so I have to tell you I LOVE this card... so yes I made it and I am telling you I LOVE IT LOL!!!  I think it has a lot to do with the image.  I just love the bella girls!  She is so stinkin cute!

I water colored her on WCP and guess what I added GLITTER.....  

I also used my small circle punch for the 2 circles on the right hand side.  I added some orange stickles to those!  If you have never used stickles what are you waiting for...go get some!

I got this layout from a sketch I found online....I think it is from MOJO MONDAY....

Here is what I used:

Stamp:  Bella stamp

Paper: Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Basic Black, Ghostly Greetings DSP, WCP

Ink: Choc Chip, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Blush Blossom, Going Gray, Black Staz On

Accessories:  Ticket corner punch, 1/4" circle punch,  black grosgrain ribbon, pumpkin pie grosgrain ribbon, aqua painter, cuttlebug embossing folder, and stickles.

Today's card is using my new set from Flourishes called Forest of Trees.  This stamp set has the best trees!  You should really just go check it out!!

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!  I am getting ready for HALLOWEEN!!!!

Here is what I used!

Stamp Set:  Crazy for Cupcakes

Paper: Ruby Red, Baja Breeze, VV, and WCP

Ink: Black ink and marker, Staz On, Ruby Red

Fun times to share!

Hi!

I am going to share some pictures of this past week!  The first 2 are from Pumpkin Festival here in Keene.  We went for a few hours in the morning and the boyZ dressed up in their costumes.  Zak was Gene Simmons I am very proud of the way his make-up came out.  Zain is a DR.  You can't really tell because his straps from the stroller cover his scrubs but it says Dr. Zain.  The next 2 pictures are from Jolie's Halloween party.  Zain had a great time!  Tatie (Colline, aunt in French) helped him decorate his cookie.  The last picture is of Zak and Zain at my moms riding on the treadmill.    So as you can see we had a pretty busy week!  Zain got croup this week and we did NOT have fun with that at all!  It was a long second half of the week!  He is bouncing right back!  He is now all done with his meds and just has a runny nose....NOW I am feeling sick...it is just starting and I am taking meds so I HOPEFULLY will not get it bad.  My throat is killing me and my nose is running but I am NOT sick...LOL

Well check back tomorrow for swaps from my last club meeting!!  They are SOOOO good!

BRRRR!!! I am COLD!

Man oh Man I am cold!  This is going to be a QUICK post my fingers are frozen stiff!  The first 2 projects are from my Halloween Class a few weeks ago.  I did this little treat bag that Avril found online.  For the life of me I can't find the site....I also made this little center piece for each of the tables.  I just filled the vase with candy corn (YUCK) and stuck some lollipops in!  Chelly came over and helped me punch and stick these cute figures to dress up the pops....then she went home and made 40 more for a bday party LOL.

My next 2 pictures are the girls making their projects.....Jo can you see?  Look how busy they are!!!!

The final picture is  from Alyson's Orchard.  Chris was behind me and the BoyZ.  He snapped a few pictures like this and I LOVE them!  The scenery ROCKS!!!

OK I have swap cards from the girls!  I will take pictures and post them ASAP!  Hopefully I will take the pictures tomorrow :)  But no promises my little fingers may be frozen still....oh real quick why are my fingers so cold?  Well I do live in NH and it IS Oct 18th.  That means it is starting to get cold out and I SHOULD be turning my heat on BUT while I was still living at home with my parents my dad would NEVER turn the heat on till NOV 1st!  I would complain complain complain!  He would tell me to put a sweatshirt on and use a blanket...I thought he was nuts...TILL I had to start paying for my own oil!  So now in my house the heat does not go on till NOV 1st...BUT I do have a couple of electric heaters so it is not as bad.  So now you know we are all a little weird...hey just trying to save a few bucks so I can get more stamps....PLanning on coming over for a visit?  Bring a sweatshirt LOL!!!!!!

Off to sit with a blanket and a cup of tea!

Trick or Treats OR APPLES????

HELLO!!!!

Last Thursday I had a HAlloween Treats class that Avril and I planned together....BUT because we can't find a hall to rent at an affordable price we have to do our events separate :(  SO SAD....if you know of a good place PLEASE let me know!!!!  So I did a total of 6 projects all together...Here is two of them....we did the SPOOKY jar that SU had on display at convention...I think...well i know for a fact it is on the flyer for these AWESOME SPOOKY SPIDER Decor Elements.  I got the jars at the Wally World and it was so EASY to put these on!    Here is a picture of the spider and how it appears on the sheet...you just chose where you want it to go...a jar, your door, your car....anywhere!  Just order one SOON they will only be around till Oct. 31st    

The card I made is a COPPY CAT card from Dannie's Design...I tweeked it a little but not too much :)  I love the skull...go figure!  I used my pumkin pie ink pad and rubbed it over my card stock to give it a little something...I really like how it turned out!

I leave you tonight with 2 pictures of the boyZ apple picking.  We had a great time and I have so many more pictures to share with you!!!!  Stay tuned...Now off to get ready for this Thursday's Club!

Good Morning!
Last weekend when Zak was here it was a YUCKY rainy day so when Zain took a nap we played in my stamp room. I was making some Frankie treat bags that I will share with you later in the week...We are making them at my Treat Class on Thursday night. I gave Zak all the stuff he would need and a picture of Frankie and he did everything himself! He did a WONDERFUL job!!! Oh can I just tell you how much I LOVE the Top Note Bigz Die that Stampin Up sells!!! I have a cuttle bug and it goes through it so easily!

I LOVE Fall Walks!

Hi Everyone!  

I HAD to share a few pictures from our walk today.  I just love walks in the fall!  The air is so crisp and all I can say is AHHH!!!  Zain had a great time running through the park.  I think his favorite part was watching the waterfall!  When my sister Hannah and I tried to get him to leave the waterfall he FREAKED out!  Hey my boy has a good taste for a wonderful view!  

I hope you all had a wonderful day!!!

Zakary found this in my stamproom and now wants a lunch box to go with it LOL!!!! This is a really cute idea for a school teacher...just fill it with some candy or anything that you would like to give them! Here is what I did
Followed pattern from Inking Idaho
Paper: Black, US White, Ghostly Greetings DSP I colored every other skull red
Stamp: Just Jawing (LOVE IT)
Accessories: Star Designer brads with crystal effect and red glitter, Crystal Effect on the small black circles, Skull ribbon I found at Michaels.

Oh Baby!

Hi Everyone!
Chris's sister Shana is expecting her first baby in December. She had her baby shower a few weeks ago and here is the card I made for her. As soon as I saw this Bella I knew I had to have it! The first thing I thought of when I saw it was popping out her belly with paper piecing. It looks so darn cute! Paper piecing is so easy and adds a great look to your stamped image! All you do is stamp the portion of your stamp on some DSP, cut it out, and glue in on VOILA done! I also paper pieced some of the bags and watercolored the rest of her. I had to add a little glittler to her hair cause it's oh so pretty!!! I got a little carried away when I was coloring her hair and oops wnt right into her eye....oh well we all make mistakes! So what did I use you ask?
Stamp: Bella (forgot th mae of her teddybella I think
Paper: Not Quite Navy, Baja Breeze, US white, and Urban Garden DSP
Ink: Close to Cocoa, Baja Breeze, Not Quite Navy, Pretty in Pink, and Blush Blossom
Accessories: Dew drops, stampin dimensionals, Baja Breeze ribbon, and aqua painter

I also made her a diaper cake. This was actually the first boy one I did and it was so much fun! I like to add some tags with "advice" on it....from one mom to another ;) I really love making these diaper cakes and what a great gift they make!

Today is world Card Making day so go ahead stamp yourself a card! Have fun doing it!!!!
