It's been sooooo long since I posted last.  Crazy times in our household.  We are getting ready to travel for Christmas and I am pleased as punch.  I've been trying to pack, finish up business loose ends and get the kids ready for a fun filled few weeks at Nene's (my mommy!) house. Super excited about a bunch of things I have ready to show you.  I want to share some fun club projects this week and I even have a few videos to share.  YIPPIE!!!!

So, here is a pic of a project that we did in my November clubs.  Gotta love the Fancy Favor Box!

Have a fantastic Tuesday!  I will be up in the air headed to SUNNY Florida!  Whoo Hoo!!!

It's craft show season and I'm busy as an elf here.  My stampin' studio is a complete MESS!  Between classes and craft shows right now I will have to live with the fact that my room will just be MESSY!  I am whippin' out these gift tags and having a blast using all kinds of stuff on them.  You will notice that I have used a few retired products from last year.  I have some Felt Flurries left over from last year that I wanted to use and I just loved those things.  They are so fun and I could touch them all day!  You will notice I added lace using my sewing machine.  I had it and just wanted to use it.   I also used lots and lots of buttons.  They are my new favorite embellishment.  Love me some buttons!!!!! 

Here are the tags:

Okay, now for more Birthday cards that I had received.  These are just awesome.  It's so fun to get cards in the mail.  I just LOVE it. 

My friend Linda Shaw made this card and she thinks she is not creative.  She must be out of her crazy mind!  It's gorgeous.  I love tone on tone. 

Lisa made this fun balloon card using the Sweet Centers stamp set and oval punches.  I must take her up and away!  LOL!

I love how my friend Lisa used the Cracked Glass technique on this card.  Super beautiful!!!

My sweet friend Mary made this gorgeous card.  Love the glitter and she used the spritzer tool.  Oh how I love that spritzer tool.    I sure do miss you Mary!!!

These two cards below were made by my dear friend Patty Bennett!  Are these not just BEAUTIFUL??  Love how she is a ROCK STAR with the My Digital Studio.  She can whip these out so fast and they are gorgeous.  I'm so jealous!!!

Isn't this just CRAZY inspiration today????  I have one more. 

This is a card I made for Tara's stamposium.  Remember I did projects using the Big Shot.  I wanted to show them how to do the Top Note Medallion.  It's so fun and pretty. 

I made the top note medallion and stamped the French Filigree background  onto the Top Note.  Oh so pretty!!!  I then used A Happy Heart stamp set and stamped the heart and cut it out.  Yea! Overall a pretty easy card. 

I hope this gives you lots to be inspired with today.  I'm off to work and get ready for the week of classes and clubs.  Non stop stamping in my house this week.  I don't think I can gripe about that.    Plus I have SO much craft show stuff to do. 

Big Hugs to each of you!

Not only was I busy getting ready for our big Halloween Day, I was busy getting ready for a FABULOUS tile class I held here on Friday night.  It was a packed house and we went through 40 tiles.  WOWser!  These tiles are super spectacular for Holiday gifts!  Here are the ones we made:

The first tile uses the Medallion, Embrace Life, French Filigree and Charming Stamp set.  I used Tempting Turquoise Craft ink and Soft Suede classic ink for the tag.  The Fall tile uses the Autumn Splendor and En Francias stamp set.  I used Really Rust, Ruby Red and More Mustard Craft ink for this tile.  So pretty.  For the tag, I used the sentiment from the Season of Friendship stamp set.  I also used the Leaf Sizzix Die Cut.  I love this die cut during the Fall.  Makes beautiful leaves.  The next tile uses a stamp set we all love, Inspired by Nature.  Great Set!  Perfect for Tiles.  This uses Always Artichoke, Chocolate Chip,  Rose Red and Regal Rose Craft inks.  The tag uses the sentiment from the stamp set and a Chocolate Chip corduroy button.  The small flower comes from the die cut Blossom Party, a Stampin' Up! exclusive.  So cute!  The last tile is my Winter tile.  I used the Beautiful Serene Snowflakes stamp set using Night of Navy, Brocade Blue craft ink and Silver Encore pad.  Loved these colors together.  The Night of Navy almost looks black.  Very striking.  Are you ready to make your Season of Tiles?  All you need to get started are a few tiles, Glassy Glaze Enamel (100477) and Craft ink.  Place your order today and I will send you a step by step tutorial on how to make these tiles.  Just click on the Order Now button to your right. 

Remember: These are decorative tiles.  You will not want to use them as a Trivit or Coaster.  Just a pretty tile to be displayed in your home or work space. 

Thanks for stopping by today!!

I had put it off for some time but the last two days proved to be the best days to catch up on classroom Halloween treat assembly.   With the weather being so CRAPPY and lots of snow falling I was stuck inside.  Now I am trying to catch up on all kinds of things.  Here is a collage of what I have worked on.  Lots of great ideas for you to see. 

There you can see all my creations.  For the graveyard box you see above, you can find the template HERE.  These are super cute and fun to make.  I will post supplies later tonight.  It’s dinner time and the kids are acting as if they have never eaten a day in their little lives.  Stamping must take a back seat for a couple of hours.  Jeesh!  <smile>

Good afternoon ladies,
