Halloween Holiday Mini creations

Saturday was a nice day to create!  I was at my team meeting and these are the fun things we made!  I think they're totally awesome!

made from the SU favour die.  I love the owl punch (usually make penguins with it) lol but it has so many uses!  and I just love the googly eyes!!!  this would be cute as a treat for friends/co-workers with some candy in a little cello bag tied with the SU Halloween ribbon

 I now NEED to get this SU purse die!  I've seen some cute things with it...but OMG these are too stinking cute!!!  They'd make nice little treats for some co-workers.  You can fit some treats in it and even display it on your desk.

OMG this card!!!  It's stamped in versamark, and then heat embossed in Tangerine Tango.  I love it!

That's about all I managed this weekend, as it's still a bit warm in the igloo... Roll on cooler weather!!!!

thanks for looking :)

My friend Meg at work needed another wedding card for this weekend.  so we coordinated it again with the wedding colours that she and her hubby are wearing.

I love the simplicity yet elegance of this card!





I can't wait for the weekend...I have a team meeting, so hoping to come back with some more ideas and play in my igloo (hoping for some cooler weather soon) lol

Thanks for looking :)

Masculine Madness

Last night I went to my upline's house and we did a class on Masculine Madness cards.  I sometimes have a hard time thinking of something "manly" lol.  tell me to make a feminine card-and I'm all over it lol.  but tell me you need a masculine one...and I'm sitting in the igloo looking for ideas.



 this one is one of my favourites!  I love the colours and antiquing of the paper by scraping the edges with a pair of scissors and inking it.  I had to decorate the envelope as well to coordinate it.  I think it really makes it pop!  oh and on the back flap-the watch is stamped as well...it's just too awesome!!!
 This nautical set is quickly becoming one I have to add to my collection!  This set is awesome!  From the multi-layers on the front of the card to the coordinating stamping inside the card and the added coordination on the envelope! 

 This one is cool.  I like the water colour effect on the hand.  The sample showed it coloured in with SU stampin write markers, but I wanted a more subtle effect.  The texture of the chevron embossing folder and torn paper, as well as the coordinating buttons, really works.  I had to use the hand stamp on the envelope! it's at the level where the recipient's name will appear... just too cool.
this one is cool.  I have the numbers stamped out to personalize it for the recipient.  I liked stamping the back of the envelope with the label stamp as well. It just gives it a little something.








oh and my night was made cause my "keep calm" stamp set arrived!!!  I can not wait to play with that!

thanks for looking, and keep on stamping!

I had so much fun this weekend creating things.  I spent Saturday afternoon at another SU Demonstrator's house and made these adorable 3D birthday cakes out of the battery operated tea lights.  They came out too stinking cute!  I was making one for a friend who will be celebrating her birthday on Monday at work, and I wanted to make something a little special for her.  I then made one for my SU Demo friend and myself (hey I can't not have one to show off lol)  but they came together so easily!  I love the added touch with the SU Hat pins and banners with ribbon. 


I love that they actually flicker...now if they only played "Happy Birthday"  LOL


Sunday was just too stinking hot to go down into the igloo....really wanting to put in a window AC unit down there...but now waiting till it's off season, to get one on clearance. 

I did manage to get down there for a couple hours Sunday night... my friend (who is having her bday on Monday) asked me to make a few cards for her, so as one of my best customers...I couldn't resist.




I love the little touches on each of them.  I am loving the new SU fabric as well!!


I can't wait to play some more this coming weekend lol...if I'm lucky, I'll get down there during the week, but knowing the crazy schedule I have coming...I doubt it...

thanks for looking :)

TGIF! I have a lot that I want to do this weekend...first of all, getting my car inspected and a few repairs.  It's never cheap...UGH.  But it has to get done.  Then later tonight I will pack a few things to go play at a friend's house and make cards!!! I am looking forward to that!  She just got back from the SU! Convention, and I can't wait to play with some of the new stamps she got!!  I have a few ideas on what I want to work on, (which is a first) so I hopefully won't pack anything unnecessary lol.  I hope to have loads of pictures to put  up here on Sunday or Monday morning :)

**note to self...next time I am at my Ford dealer...bring a few things to work on-they installed a little wall table for laptop users... ;)  I could assemble some cards here LOL
