Come out and see me tomorrow (Saturday) at The One Day Shopping Mall at the Port Elgin Legion from 10am-3pm.  Free admission.  There will be many vendors selling great products and you can get a start on your Christmas shopping.  10% of sales will be donated to the Port Elgin food bank.  I will have lots of retired product for sale as well as a few other things.  I look forward to seeing you there.

Here is a picture from the Stampin' Up! website of a cute halloween card.

Cute Halloween Projects

Last night I had my first ever Kids Halloween Class.  The kids really liked making the projects and the class went well so I will be planning some more kids classes in the future!
We made 2 treat boxes, a card, and 4 little critters.

 These were the two treats boxes.  The pumpkin is made using the milk carton die and the witch is made using the fancy favour treat box as the base and then the top note die as the witch face.  All the face pieces are punched out using a variety of Stampin' Up! punches.

These four critters were made with Stampin' Up! punches and then mounted on round chocolates that I found at the dollar store.  These were very quick and easy to make and th googly eyes make them soo cute!

If there are other kids or adults interested in taking this class, I will offer it again before Halloween.  Send me and email to let me know.

Cute Halloween Treat

Things have been crazy around here.  I am going to Stampin' Up!'s Regional event this Saturday in Hamilton and I am attending a fun event on Friday night.  I have to prepare some swap cards and a card for a shoebox swap.  I have also been putting the finishing touches on the flyer for my upcoming stamp camp which will be sent out tomorrow but I found something to share with you tonight.

These treat boxes are made from the Candy wrapper die in the Holiday Mini.  I don't have this die yet but maybe soon!  These were made by the Stampin' Up! artists.  I hope you like them.

First Club Project

I am sooo happy that my stamp club has started again.  I really love getting together with these ladies to teach them new things and share my love of stamping.  I hope you enjoy coming Pat, Wendy, Christine, Liz, Sally, Judy, Tracey, and our newest member Donna!
We made 3 projects at our September night and I will share all three with you in the coming days.  This first card uses the Fang-tastic stamp set.  It is so cute and not at all scary.

The cardstock colours are Basic Gray and Concord Crush.  We used the spider web embossing folder on the Concord Crush.  The witch is stamped using the black Stazon ink and then coloured in with various Stampin' Write markers.  I really love the wide striped grosgrain ribbon we used to finish this card.  If you would like more info about joining a stamp club, let me know!

Have a great weekend!

Cute Witch!

As I have said previously, I am not really a Halloween person but since receiving this stamp set for FREE at convention because I was a make 'n take helper, I am really trying to come up with lots of ways to use it!  I am talking about the set called Fang-tastic.  The images are so cute and would be great for kids to make treats for friends and classmates.

This card uses Basic Black, Rich Razzelberry, and Pumpkin Pie cardstock.  I stamped the witch, broom, and bag using Stazon ink so that I could then colour in the images using the Stampin' Write markers.  I cut them out using Stampin' Up!'s fabulous paper snips and voila!  I used the spider web embossing folder.  The stamp set and embossing folder will be available September 1 from the Holiday Mini.  If you currently do not have a demonstrator and did not receive the Holiday Mini, I would be happy to send you one.  Send me an email to let me know your mailing address.
Please be sure to check out my calendar of events and sign up for any classes you are interested in.  Space is limited!

Is anybody reading this???

Ok, so I have posted everyday for two weeks and I really don't know if anyone is reading these!  I would really love it if you could leave me a comment to let me know you like what you see!!!
This was a very quick and easy card and has a couple of sneak peaks from the new Holiday Mini which will be out on September 1.  You could book a workshop and earn some fabulous new products for free while having fun and learning new things.  Email me today to set your date.

This card uses the new spider web embossing folder for the Big Shot.  It is so cool!  I punched out the spider using the scallop circle punch and the photo corner punches.  I stamped the greeting from the new set called Fant-tastic and punched it out with the modern label punch.
