Being Silly!

That’s me alright!  Doesn’t it feel good to get your silly’s out.  Sometimes it’s nice to slip away to my silly side.  However, I need to be careful that someone doesn’t catch it on camera!  LOL!  My dear friend Christy Schroeger caught me being silly and decided to take it to the digital scrapbooking side.  I loved what she did and asked if I could share with you.  She has done amazing books already and really taken the My Digital Studio program and ran with it.  Me, I’m taking my sweet time with it.  I love the program and it has so many great options on it.  Now to find the time to sit and play with it. 

Don’t ask what I was doing!  I’m never sure of that.  <smile>  Just know that I felt like getting my silly’s out. 

Have a great day.  I’m watching the snow fall here.  Makes for a great day to get some stamping done.

Halloween Gum Wrappers Tutorial

Good afternoon ladies,

Today I wanted to share a fun project that you can do for any holiday!  Since Halloween is just around the corner I chose to make some really cute Halloween Gum Wrappers. 

Here is a video tutorial on how to make these cute gum wrappers as well as the yo yo’s that I have placed on the outside of the gum wrapper. I think in the video I said I used Creepy Crawly DSP.  That is just a new name I made up! LOL!  It’s actually Cast a Spell DSP (115677)

A Trip to the Graveyard!

I can’t tell you how much I love Halloween stuff!  I just think there are so many fun things you can stamp for Halloween.  I know not everyone digs it as much as me, but one of my classes I did the end of September and beginning of October was my all time FAVORITE!  This class was not only fun, but has the most unique box.  My friend Christy and I get together monthly to work on a class series that we named "A Trip to…"  Each month we have researched our project and come up with what we think is fun and unique.  Christy is my box guru.  I can give the girl a sketch and she just goes a mile further than I could ever think.  This box is my all time favorite.  This class to go is one I think you will love making and has more possibilities than just a Tombstone!

This tombstone holds 4 cards and 4 envelopes.  It’s a fun gift for anyone.  It uses the Graveyard Gala and From the Crypt stamp set.  Two of my favorites this year in our catalog. 

Class to Go Kit:  $8.95

 This class has a 14 page PDF of instructions to make the box and 4 cards inside the box for $8.95.  If you would like to purchase this class to go, click the Buy Now button below!  I think you will enjoy this fun class!

Once you have purchased the class please allow up to 24 hours for me to send the PDF.  Most of the time I am very quick to get your PDF to you. 

Have a FABULOUS week!

Getting spooky in my house!

Seriously it was spooky outside this weekend.  It was a bit icy and FREEZING!  I can’t believe the cold weather is already here!  Seriously?  Doesn’t this state know I am NOT a cold weather girl?  You could ice skate on my sidewalk this weekend.  Russ couldn’t get his car into the garage because the driveway was a sheet of ice.  Jeesh!  Then it affected my internet and phone.  Then the microwave went out.  Holy Cow, it was almost like camping here!  Oh, and I don’t camp! 

Of course one way to make time pass is to stamp.  As I have told you the past few weeks has been crazy.  This past week I held my Spooky Treats class.  I want to share one of the projects with you.  I think it’s so cute. 

I used the Matchbox Die Cut along with the Spooky Treats Rub on’s 115729.  I love these rub ons because of the repeat images that come on one sheet.  These are great for school treats or any friend.  I put a pepperment patti inside the matchbox.  Super cute and the matchbox die is one of my favorites because it’s super easy to use and hardly any adhesive. 

Wait until you see my new Class to Go kit I will put up tomorrow.  Get ready to take a Trip to the Graveyard!  It could make you squeal!

As a TEAM we DID it!

I know I have been the worst blog chic for awhile now. While I have REALLY missed writing posts every day, I can’t lie when I tell you things have just been bonkers in my little stamping world.  This past weekend was filled with a VERY successful Breast Cancer Fundraiser.  Every bit of our efforts went to Susan G. Komen and I am soooooooooooo excited to tell you that my AWESOME team and our AWESOME customers raised over $4600 dollars.  At first we thought we raised a bit more, however we found out that we are better stampers than math chics.  LOL!  Our goal for the day was $4000!  You can only imagine what a big big smile this brings to my face.  While the weekend was super busy, it was so inspiring to be around all these women over the weekend.  We stamped and educated women on breast cancer.  We spent time together as friends.  We laughed until our sides hurt.  We cried with those who lost loved ones to this horrible disease.  We remembered those who lost their battle with hope that we can make a difference.  I feel empowered by all those that helped make the event a success. The local Chapter of Susan G. Komen has been so supportive towards our efforts and was there all day to help! Each of my team as well as local demonstrators worked hard.  But together we worked as a TEAM.  WOW!  I am so proud of this group! 

Here are a few pics of happy demonstrators!

So there you have a little peek into our happiness this weekend.  October is Breast Cancer Awareness month! Together we can make a difference!  Every little bit helps!  Take care of those Ta Ta’s! 

Did you know that Stampin’ Up! has a Ribbon of Hope stamp? You could use it for so many things!  It’s a GREAT stamp!  You can order using #111552.  It’s only 7.95!  Awesome deal!

 Have a FABULOUS week!!
