It’s a mess here!

Holy Cow!  It’s a MESS in my stamp room.  I have been a crazy woman getting ready for multiple events this past week.  I have a few things to show you today.  I have to admit that I’ve been happy as a lark since I am stamping.  When I stamp-I smile! 

Let me show you what I’m making to get my desk this messy! 

These are completely inspired by Shelli Gardner!  I love halloween and I love stamping halloween projects.  Last week when I was at the Advisory Board Retreat I was blessed with a wonderful dinner at Shelli’s home.  I am still speechless over the experience.  It really was amazing.  The best part I loved was Sterlings Dutch Oven dinner.  It was so yummy!  The other thing I loved was seeing the Halloween displays that Shelli had around her home.  It was heavenly for me.  🙂  Each of the Board members were given a beautiful bag of things Shelli loved.  I will covet this forever and ever.  Everything inside was amazing.  Once again, the best part was a Halloween ornament that was tied around the bag.  I love how Shelli stamps because it’s just my style.  So my little gum wrappers are completely inspired by her creativity.  I will make a video this week on how to make these great gum wrappers.  They are just so fun.

I haven’t used my fabulous Chunky Glitter in awhile.  I cut the stars using my Sizzix Die Cut Stars #2 (113461) and Long Board (114320).  Then I cut my black cardstock while I was cutting the chipboard.   I embossed the black cardstock using the From the Crypt stamp set (115460) and clear embossing powder.  I loved how this turned out.  The star is laying on top of an Oval Sizzix Die Cut (114525) and layered with Lovely Lilac cardstock.  I then embossed the Web Wheel (115666) onto the Lovely Lilac cardstock using Black Craft ink and Clear embossing powder.  I took the star and used Crystal Effects around the edges and dipped it into my Chunky Essentials Glitter (108797).  I let that dry a minute.  I made a yo yo (love that name) using the Cast a Spell DSP (115677) and then placed it onto the star and placed a banner over it using a Pop Up Glue Dot.  I used Teeny Tiny Wishes (115370) for the sentiment on the banner. 

I will do a video on two techniques this week on how to make these cute Halloween treats for your kiddo’s.  I know mine love them.  Super simple too. 

I’m off to a big event this weekend.  We are Stampin’ for a Cure!  Each year myself and my demonstrators in the area do a big fundraiser for Breast Cancer Awareness.  My goal is to raise $4000 this weekend.  We have a ton planned.  Lots of stamping and lots of giveaways.  I can’t wait.  Wish us luck in our fight against breast cancer. 

Have a fabulous weekend.
