WORLD MARKET!!  I am always jealous of those that live so close to an Ikea! Well now I feel oh so lucky to live near a World Market.  Wow this place has fabulous things.  I found my cool Spooky Jar that I applied my Spooky Spider to.  This new Decor Elements will be available in October when Phase 2 of the Decor Elements is released.  I just LOVE this spider and love this jar.  What a fun little decor item for our home!  The kids just went crazy over this.  Well, at least I hope thats what it was and not all the candy!

Below you will find a close up of the tag I made for my jar.  I love the Just Jawing stamp set!  It will work for many things, not just Halloween.

So, during my journey through the World Market, I also found these lovely vases and what I was tickled more about was the sand that was Red Riding Hood Red.  I think I squealed in the store when I ran across it. 

You will notice I put some Asian looking fake plants inside the vase.  I loved how these looked. Then I decorated my chipboard tag with Eastern Blooms stamp and Bella Designer Paper.  I wanted that Riding Hood Red floral paper in the pack because it looked so pretty next to the sand. 

Over all, this is super easy to put together.  I just love how I can decorate my home with my stamp sets and paper along with a few not so expensive items. 

Hope you had a fabulous weekend.  More to share tomorrow. 

A few weeks ago I asked my Prince to make me a display board using Plywood for my Decor Elements.  I wanted a way to bring my customers a FAUX WALL so to speak so they could see just how FABULOUS these products are.  Russ did an amazing job on this project.  Once he had it together, I painted it and then the creating began.  You may notice a few blank spots on the board, but not a worry.  They are awaiting hand stamped items or some type of home decor to fill the space.  I can’t wait for Phase 2 to come so I can peel these up and decorate again!!!

Good morning Stampers!  So much going on here at my home.  Good things and a few sad things.  First, the sad news.  My grandmother has been very sick the last few weeks.  She really took a turn for the worst the past few days.  I am headed to Florida on Friday to be with my family.  The kids and I are flying down for a week.  My grandmother is a great lady, has lived a fabulous life and I know she is ready to be with the Lord.  It’s so hard to let go though.

In the meantime, I’ve been trying to keep my mind busy.  What better way to keep it busy than STAMP!  It is my therapy!!  I love it.  This frame uses Baroque Motifs and the chipboard Lots of Letters.  This frame is actually serving a purpose for my Decor Elements board that I have put together.  I will show this very soon.  I have the FAMILY Decor Elements on the board and the picture frame hangs right under it.  It looks great.  It’s actually a faux wall.  For the stamping portion, I used the new In Color Baha Breeze.  Looks great with Chocolate Chip!  What doesn’t look great with Chocolate Chip?

Well, time to start the packing process for me and the kids.  Looks like it will be a busy day!

Stampin’ love!

Well here is a mixture of Decor Elements, new designer paper, new In Color inks, and new stamps. 

I had purchased a few of the Alphabet Decor Elements and wasn’t quite sure what to do with them.  Last night I had this idea.  I had a large piece of chipboard laying around so I decided to cover it with the Bella Rose Designer Series Paper.  Using my 1" and 1 1/4" circle punches I punched tons of Bella Rose paper and Pink Pirouette cardstock for all those circles around the chipboard.  The "K" is from the Decor Elements line.  Lastly, I used the Dreams de Jour stamp set and cut out a few butterflies to pop up.   Overall, I like the way it turned out.  Now to figure out where to hang it. 

Have a fabulous day!
