No Boo here ~ Pretty much stamping everything!

Today I am showing you how you can stamp anything that stands still for a moment! I found this little box of 100 plastic plain white ghost table scatters at the dollar spot at the Big T (you know the one with the bullseye). I have a lot of confidence in Staz-on ink.  Stamped a face on these little plastic ghosts. I used Peachy Keen Just Baby Faces in 3/8". I used one for the Peachy Keen Challenge to decorate a candle BUT I can see these on little hairbows, cards, tags, little pins. I am so excited.

Thank you for Helping me Blossom

Yay!!! Our grandson doesn't cry at Kindergarten anymore. He still says he doesn't like school because it is boring (and in his case it likely is) but he loves Mrs. S and all she has to say.
Here is a little thank you card.

I used Peachy Keen Cherub Faces and MyCreativeTime Layered Flower Petals Die.  The aqua ribbon is from my stash as well as the little rhinestone accents.

We've Got Your Back

Our sister-in-law is having back surgery tomorrow and I wanted to make her a card. She loves Disney, particularly Mickey and Pooh. Has quite a collection. I wanted to show our support to her during this scary 6-hour surgery and always. I dusted off Cricut Cartridges Mickey and Friends, Pooh and Friends and Mickey font. I ran the letter through the cuttlebug using Swiss Dots Folder and inked them in red. The ovals are cut using my favorite Creative Memories Cutting System. Mickey is on an Action Wobble. It was so hard to photograph the wobble in action. I think it took 10 tries! Thoughts and prayers to you Robin. I will be in the waiting room. All our love...

Thank You PK Color Challenge

Hello my friends. Today I am featuring these beautiful colors for the Peachy Keen color inspiration Challenge. I found a tulip on Cricut.com Create a Critter 2 and had to try it out. I gave the tulip dimension by accenting it with Spectrum Noir (almost typed Pinot Noir!!) alchohol inks. The face is from Peachy Keen April release. I added pen stitching and Ranger Glossy Accents to the face. The trims are from my stash and the striped grosgrain ribbon had all the colors in it so I knew I was going to incorporate that somehow.

Repurpose Reuse Recycle

Be it on fabric, paper, wallpaper etc. I love colors and patterns. This pattern is some I saved from last years Planner inserts. It is a nice weight and great colors. I thought I was going to use it for the little window that was already on it. But nope...it transformed into something else.

I gathered a plain little notepad and an RSVP pen and MyCreativeTime Layered Petal Flowers Die.

A few minutes later I have a little gift ready to go. This would be perfect for a Secret Pal, the girls at work (if I had a J-O-B), a happy Friday for a teacher...lots of things. Everyone can use a pen and notepad.

Cost me nothing and took less than 5 minutes.

Boo You're Cute

I just love this card. So many elements. The papers are from my stash and multi-layered. The scallop edge on the black piece is punched. The word CUTE is cut from Bump In The Night. I tested a pumpkin, a black cat, a witch and a ghost before deciding on something totally different...a cute star with a Peachy Keen face. The black paper is blackboard paper so I will use chalk to write my little note on this one.

Off to the Party

We are going out tonight to celebrate one of our friends' birthdays. I had picked up a couple of gag items and hubby got him a GiftCard. So I repurposed a Starbucks Bag and made a coordinating Gift Card Holder. For the Gift Card Holder I used MyCreativeTIme Gift ard Die. I cut it twice. Once in the red and once in the polka dot and glued them together. The Football and Cheer Bears are from Cricut.com Teddy Bear Parade and the single football on the Gift Card Holder is from Sports Mania. I embossed the football using snakeskin. I really need pigskin.

Thank you for all the love on my 6th Anniversary

Creepy Coffin Candy Boxes and Tags

Brew your iced tea, make your coffee and take care of business because this is a big post. My brother had seen the coffin candy box I made and requested a dozen with tags. He is affiliated with the West Coast Haunters Association and does an amazing Haunted House at his home in Oregon. His Avatar is Shier Terror in shades of Red and Black. I had made them shirts in the past and we love the drippy letters on Happy Hauntings. The layered flowers are made with MyCreativeTime Flower Petal Dies. The paper is a fabulously creepy silver glitter on black paper. I put a little red rhinestone in the middle of each one. The rolled flowers and leaves are from Cricut Cartridge Artiste. I used Glossy Accents on the drippy S on the tag so it looked like blood. The tags are cut at 4" using Cricut Cartridge Pretty Pennants.

Side View to see the red bottoms

Here are all 12 boxes completed.

Inside dimension of the box. I was going to show how a regular size Hershey Bar fit but...you know how that goes. Here you can see the an unsharpened pencil fits end to end and it is pretty deep to hold lots of goodies.

Pinterest inspired infinity scarf

http://pinterest.com/pin/259097784781655448/

Here is the inspiration for this scarf. My hubbys' t-shirts are not safe! I used MyCreativeTime rolled and layered flowers to make a card to coordinate with the burlap flowered pin made to enhance this scarf. All I did was cut a 2 inch strip of burlap and rolled and coiled it. Then hotglued it to a chipboard circle. The "leaves" are a sage green burlap. I folded a little square into a triangle and brought the points to the center.

This is a gift for a friend so I used MyCreativeTime layered flower petal dies. The  Pinterest inspiration for the tag: http://pinterest.com/pin/123919427217327468/ I hope you like this little gift.
