SWEET CENTERS ORNAMENT

This is one more card that I have done for christmas. Everyone is getting a different one this year compared to the same one.
This looks really pretty in person but seems to be a little dull on the photo.
I used the technique from Patty Bennett here for the center. I sponged around the outside of the card and also on the impression to make the flowers pop.

supplies:
stamps: sweet centers (holiday mini 2009)
paper: whisper white, rich razzleberry, printed window sheets
ink: versa mark, rich razzleberry
misc: 1-3/4" punch, 1/4" ww grosgrain ribbon, embossing buddy, heat embossing gun, silver embossing powder, finial press textured impressions folder, sponge, glue dots, beads from old stash

WINDOW SHEET BOX

This is a window sheet box. My up-upline showed this to at our last group meeting. She used a clear window sheet and then embossed it. I currently do not have the clear window sheets, but I do have the polk-a-dot window sheets that came with the night & day specialty paper in the holiday mini. In the pictues I am showing it with nothing in it and the other one is with some fill paper. We thought this would be a great gift idea (candies, manicure set, tags, etc...).

supplies: printed window sheets (night & day specialty paper_holiday mini), box # 2, big shot, 1/4" whisper white grosgrain ribbon, bone folder, shiny fill

GODS BEAUTY

This is another great stamp set that I can never give up. Gods beauty is truely beautiful! This is for another birthday at my husbands work. I hope you enjoy it. I cased this whole image right down to the colors from LONDONBLUE from SCS. The only thing that I changed is the 2nd layer is put on the left side instead of the right. I liked how I stamped it, but when I cut it down, it seemed really quirkey.

supplies:
stamps: gods beauty (retired)
paper: basic black, whisper white
ink: basic black, old olive (stamp pad), summer sun, almost amethyst (stampin write markers)
misc: ticket corner punch, crystal effects

FALL FESTIVAL 2009

Tonight was the fall festival at the elementary school. All the kids got to dress up in their costumes (CAT IN THE HAT - CORPSE BRIDE - JOKER)! They played games, danced to the music, got a meal, entered the costume contest and we also went through the HAUNTED HOUSE!!! It was so much fun and something that we will always remember! This is just a couple of the pictures that we took. I took some individual shots and they turned out just as good. The individual ones actually show the good make-up job!

HALLOWEEN CANDY

Halloween is coming up so quickly! The kids will have a party at school next friday, so I started in early on these little gifts. I cased the little Frankensteins from Connie Collins. We were going to put them on some flat suckers, but when we actually found some, my son decided that he like the NERDS better. The HAPPY HALLOWEEN is punched out and put on some STARBURST...yummy!

CLASSIC ANGEL

I have a couple of pictures to show you today. Over the weekend, we had a little bit of snow fall and 2 of my kids were out making snow angels. This is the most perfect snow angel that I have ever seen done. This one is such a perfect keeper that I will be scrapbooking it with MY DIGITAL STUDIO for sure.





















So here is a birthday card that I made for a friend ours. His birthday is tomorrow, October 12th and I can't wait for him to see the card. I hope he enjoys it as much as each family member had a part in making it for him. This particular card was a case from galej on scs.

STAMPS: classic pickups & canvas background stamp (both are retired)
PAPER: not quite navy, chocolate chip, very vanilla
INK: not quite navy

BUILD A BEAR LOVE

I had to case this from the wonderful Gretchen Barron. She did such a wonderful job on her card.
I can't hardly get enough of these build a bears. My daughter loves them just as much as I do! She likes the cards and the real BAB's.

SUPPLIES
STAMPS: beary nice wishes, beary best friends
PAPER: whisper white, real red, crushed curry, printed window sheets (holiday mini dp)
INK: basic black (ink pad & marker) stampin' write markers = forest foliage, glorious green, yoyo yellow, real red, close to cocoa, creamy caramel
MISC: big shot, top note die, silver brads, heart to heart punch

I cut each one of the top notes separately so that is why they do not line up, but I really like how they turned out anyway.
