Scrappin' Halloween Boo-tifully!

This was actuallyINSPIRED by a kit by Pine Cone Press, but after seeing it, and deciding, "I Can Do that!" I made my own...I haven't had a chance to take photos of this until now...

It is so cute and you can put so many photos of your Halloween Cuties! Take lots of photos and load them up in this cute box to give to Grandma or to a special friend! If you're having a Party, you can put those pictures in here too...I am thinking of making one for Christmas too!




All you do, is take a 12x12 sheet of Cardstock, Score it every 4" both ways. Make a Grid of 9 sections. when you get to the corners, you need to score that on the diagonal.

You will then fold it up and add your photos and Voila! You have a cute box! The lid is a square that is 6" with each side scored at 1" around the edge. You cut the corner and fold it down to make the box.




Then the inner sections, you can fold them into 3rds, and add your papers, to make it just oooh so cute!

Don't you want to make one of these?

If you need instructions, you will have to contact me.....otherwise, you might be able to figure it out on your own...

Have fun and be inspired! And have a great Halloween...!!!!

Halloween Hat

This was one of the cutest swaps done... This is a Hat that has the papers done with the Exclusive Designer papers by Stampin' up! This is a small hat covering a Reeses's Candy. She made a cone, and covered the candy, and placed it over the scallop punched circle. As we were admiring the teeny hat, light bulbs in our heads were going off, as we thought of Santa hats, and Leprechaun hats, birthday hats, ...get the picture? What can you think of? ...................................................................................................

Upline Meeting

Sandy Hancock's Meeting

Spaghetti Factory, Duarte, CA

My upline-upline (Sandy Hancock) had a fantastic meeting today, and it was full of great marketing ideas!. Laura Weed shared a PIRATE's TREASURES full of ideas..and she's fun to hear!

We had Demonstrations by Barbara Jackson who did a great job of displaying ideas for the Wrapping Papers! OOH, it is beautiful papers, and you really should check them out! They are only available in the Holiday Mini catalog.

And we had another demonstration by Pat, (who I can't think of her last name..Chastain?) and she had some wonderful samples!

This is a Pringles can decorated, along with some die cut boxes....

she had gift ideas using candles and other items..very cutely displayed!

THEN, there was Richard and Gabby's display of great artistic use of chipboard and other ideas for a Great Holiday Decor!

Wouldn't you love to have these items displayed in your house? well, maybe not all, but it was really cleverly and colorfully done!

Card Making Kits....the ULTIMATE!

These Kits are the ULTIMATE Card Kits! They will be 20% off for a limited time in October!

This is 3 of the kits available, and I purchased them so we can make some cool cards!

The Idea is that you will make a variety of cards, and with this, you can actually take these and just make cards, with very little added!

All you would need is adhesive, some scissors (maybe) and imagination and time....

But...basically, all the pieces are already cut! They each have an idea book which discloses all the pieces and layouts for 3 variations in color and details.

The kit includes (3) Stampin' Spots, and ribbons, brads, accessories, cut cardstock and chipboard, adhesive diecuts and PRE-CUT stamp sets!

Wow! can it get any better?

If you have a serious stamper on your Holiday list....this is a great kit for you to give them a wonderful kit, idea book and beautiful cards almost ready to make and assemble!

Make a date with me and plan to spend some time Stamping on October 6th-8th......

email me and come over to make cards on National Card Making Day.

Chipboard and Wood Blocks in Designer Papers

These Cubes are from BE (Bare Elements) Available on the Internet and also at Michaels. I covered them using Modge Podge, and the Double sided Designer Decorative Papers. I covered all 6 sides of the cubes, and then I inked up the Chipboard Letters using the Craft ink pads in Handsome Hunter, Certainly Celery, Always Artichoke and White CRAFT Ink. The snowflake is also glittered up using the Dazzling Diamonds and then I punched the center of the snowflake and added the Ice circle Rhinestone Brad!.....

We're not really ready for WINTER yet!....but, I think it made me feel more festive!
