There are 40 jam packed pages in this new mini! If you have been following the blog in order you've just been to Sarah's Ink Spot and her creations using the stamp set Pumpkin Patch. I just have to add that Sarah was named #2 rising Star this year at the SU Convention. Congratulations Sarah! Great job! So on with the show. I chose to feature the set Twick or Tweet.

This card features the skeleton and dog stamp. I love this stamp! Oops and the ghosts stamp!
Ok here's what I used besides the stamp set.
Haunting Hill Wheel / Black Ink
Big Shot, Top Note Die, Circles #2 Die
1 3/8", 1 3/4" Circle Punches
Crop-a-dile (to punch holes for ribbon)
Black 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon

How about some treats? I bought a bunch of these little buckets last year for 25 cents a piece after Halloween in black, green and orange! So we have Pixie Stixs and Pencils. I only had one black pencil so I covered the other two with DSP! Worked great.

Purses Of All Sizes!

I made these two purses for my mother/daughter hostesses last night. I purchased the tutorial from Becky Roberts. I'll come back later and post a link to her blog info. She does such great work and explains directions very well.
Aren't they super cute! And they really weren't that hard to make!

Close up of the buckle with some Pretties rhinestones added. Gotta get another set of Pretties!

Demonstrated the faux Aligator skin technique. It really looks like it!!! That was FUN!

Purse card we made using the Circle Circus stamp set. I got my idea from a card in the SCS gallery, will try and post a link later.

Another card I had the girls make last night using the Great Friend stamp set and the Tea Party DSP. I love the color Basic Gray, but I still agree they need to rename it Charming Charcoal! It's really pretty especially used with PINK! Hey if you can't tell I'm really busy and need to get off of here and get some work done, I'll try and post some vacation pictures in a couple of days. Have a great stampin' day!

I'm Back!

Hi Everyone, just letting everyone know we are back from vacation, and I"ll try and post some some projects soon. I've got a workshop tonight, so I'll take pictures and post them in a couple of days!
