Becky vs Kim

I love getting mail from Becky.....the card on the left was from her this week. She has the cutest ideas, so I decided to give it my touch and make one also. So my card is on the right. And that is the END of Halloween month!!!! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!

Nugget Box for Halloween

I am still thanking neighbors from our old neighborhood for helping us with our move, so this is a nugget box with a card and chocolates. Always love these tins and I hope she does as well.

Thank you Dawn

I am way behind on my thank you's, but this was one I made Friday for Dawn, my husband's secretary. She brought heart shaped muffins on a zebra plate when we were moving in...I should have taken a photo of them, but then again where was the camera!!!!! Just kidding, it is always close to where I am for sure. They just gotten eaten before I could capture them on film, so thanks Dawn, they were wonderful and very cute!!!!!

Milk Dud Containers

OMG I love packages from Becky!!!! You can make one of these also....go to her blog at http://www.inkingidaho.blogspot.com/ and for $3.95 you can get her pattern. Wouldn't they be great for the holidays, and you'll see her very cute holiday one on her blog!!! Thanks Becky for the idea. PS. her tutorial is wonderful with photos, anyone can put one together!

Test Tube Halloween

I bought these test tubes on ebay, would love to find more!!!! These treats turned out so cute and I would give credit where it is due, but I have forgotten where I saw them since it took me a while to locate the test tubes. It was someone creative however!!! I made these up to share with a couple of my new neighbors.

BOO!!!

I got Boo'd this weekend and it is someone who knows me well.....it had a zebra wash cloth!!!! So whomever you are, I hope you know I love it!!!!!!

Halloween in an Envelope

I made this one using a large envelope, crimping the bottom and then cutting the top off and sliding on for a lid. I filled it with flat treats....

Pixy Sticks

This was a little Trick or Treat I tucked into Becky's birthday gift to share with her boys. The tag was a Michaels $1 stamp...so is the ribbon....just fun things to make up for kids that take little time.

Notebook Gift Set

This is a 5X7 notebook with a cover and matching card. Becky Roberts made this notebook in a smaller one and I loved it. This is the Inspired by Nature set we received at Convention and the first time I used it....love it!!!

I have Spiders!!!!

I got this cute idea from Diane Dimich. I thought I would make them up for the kids my daughter babysits. This is a great use of the punches and they stand alone.

Nugget Box

Ok with lots of inspiration from Becky, I was able to get a little project tackled this weekend. Love how they turned out and they were easy and fun to do....

NEW stamp room

We are moved in to the new house and everything is getting settled. I started stamping again this weekend, so I want to share with you.....The wall words are the new ones from Stampin Up and they are wonderful and easy to install.

Still Packed and wanting to stamp

Many of you know we are moving, or have moved out of our old house. Well everything is still sitting in a truck waiting for the new house to be finished. So bear with the boring blog. My stamps are packed and I so miss not having them to work with and play, especially since coming home from convention. It will be about a month and I promise to have something posted soon.

Convention Swap

OK, so these were going to be my Convention Swaps....but I wasn't sure if I could use "So Many Scallops, so to play it safe I started a new swap and I have nearly 20 made. So all is looking good for going. I didn't think I would have time to get any done, so I am feeling pretty good about these done and bringing back fun convention ideas to share. This is made with the new Bella Rose paper, which I love! I just wrapped Trident gum packs with the paper and embellished with black and white checked ribbon. The ink is also the new Pink Pirouette, Riding Hood Red, and Kiwi Kiss. I will post the real swap when I take some photos of the finished product.....

Wedding Chocolates

We are having a surprise wedding reception at the lake this weekend for a couple that got married in Hawaii over the winter months, so to celebrate I made wedding favors....Hope they don't melt!!!!

More time Well Spent....

Ok so I got some time to play today....I prefer to call it therapy. Cards that came after finishing the order that posted below this one. Again the wonderful note cards....

Friends Time Well Spent

This is a card order for a friend who is putting gift bags together for her friends that are off to Vegas. I love these Note cards and you can do so much with them. I used the the "Time Spent with friends" Hostess Set. Paper is Wild Wasabi, Soft Sky and White. I colored the images with Prisma pencils and used Mineral Spirits to smooth them out. Add rhinestones to the centers of the flowers and ribbon to embellish. The smaller circles are made with the punch from Marvy and a brad allows it to spin and write your message underneath.
