Decor Elements Harvest Tray

This is a small tray I made for Robin, who was my monthly hostess for November. Added a bow. ( : I bought the tray for $1.00 at the Arcola Broomcorn Festival. Added some Deck the Halls DSP and some Cherry Cobbler Cardstock with the corner trimmed and Ta Da! I was happy with the results! Robin has signed up to be a demo! Yeah! Robin! Glad to have you on my team!
Here's a picture without the bow. Have a great day everybody!

Altered Scrapbook for our Family Auction!

Soooooooooo you know those SU chipboard photo albums that are in the Clearence Rack right now for around $5.00, here's what you can do with them. Buy them and use them!!! Here's one I altered for our Satterfield Famiy reunion this past week-end using the scrap kit Summer Home (one of my favorite kits) but you could make a really cute school scrapbook using the kit in the clearence rack right now "Primary ?"
Here is the outside and if I would have had time I would have added Family in Chocolate chip Lterrs to the front. Below are some of the pages, I did 10 and then added some blank pages and some DSP and some self adhesives from the kit, so whoever got it could finish it up.





Thanks for looking and have a great week!

Another jar I added a face to from Wal-mart.

Playing around with my Big Shot!

This is the project our Church's Ladies Fellowship will be making on November 8th. Super fast and easy. Ladies if you can thread a needle you can have one of these babies made in about 15 minutes after you get the circles of fleece cut out using the BS. I'm not kidding, these are FUN to make!!!

Fall is in the Air!

These are some little treat bags I made up for a craft fair last week. I got the bags from a LNS bulk buy. Sorry I have no idea where they purchased them from. Anyway I used the Fall Stamp Set "Falling Leaves" I thought they turned out pretty cute. It was a little tricky to put the M&M's in them at first, but I figured it out. These would make a nice little plate favor for a party don't you think? Have a good day everyone. See you tomorrow.

Mike's Birthday Card

So our son Michael had a birthday the other day and here is the card I made for him. Even though he just turned 31 he still likes homemade cards. Looks like a plain card when you first take a look, but when you open it up....



















It looks like this! Ta da! I love pop up cards they are so fun and this bear is just the cutest! The bear is from the stamp st Under The Stars, the birthday saying is from Family Phrases. I used the 1/2" circle punch and a point from the smallest star punch to make the balloons!


Here is a sideview of the inside. Hey why don't you try one! See you tomorrow! Have a good day!

Metal Flashing Flower Tea Light Holders

This was one of a pair of Tea Light Holders I made for my Hostess at my last workshop. They are so fun and easy to make! Can't wait to make some using Coke cans! Top view.
Side view.
I put them together using glue dots, our mono didn't seem to want to dry. They are very light weight and the glue dots worked wonderful. No sharp edges either. So what are you waiting for get your Big Shot and Flower Folds die out and give it a try! and if you don't have one I'd love to order one for you!

I'm Back! Finally! Yepee!!!!!

Ok, so was anyone worried about me? Boy I sure was! What a Summer! My daughter became engaged Memorial week-end. Ok Great! She calls me about two weeks later and says "Mom, do you think you and dad can help us get a wedding together by August 28th!?!" WHAT!!! "Sure Sweetheart, you bet we can. My daughter was never going to marry a farmer. Ha! Ha! to that one. They wanted to get married before harvest, which was a good idea for us too since that's what we do. So the planning began. (Oh and let's not forget to throw the Stampin' Up! Convention in the mix, I wasn't gonna miss that one!) First I had to beg from anyone I could find to get enough of the Cool Caribbean cardstock for the invites and favors as this was her main color with a hint of pink. Here's what we ended up with. The wedding was outdoors at the Lasta Winery, beautiful place for a wedding! The fans did come in handy. I'll try and post some wedding pictures when I get some good ones back from the photographer. Keep checking back, I've got a lot more to share, now that I'm back to stampin"!!!! (I'm back in my happy place.)

Shower invite, wedding invite, registration card, program, wedding favor, and a cone to hold flowers to throw.
Better view of wedding stuff. We also made RSVP cards but I can't find one right now and after making 175 invites and everything else, I'm done for now.

Backside of fan that list wedding party.

Hope you have a great day!!!

Come back tomorrow!
