Owl Punch

I JUST got this in the mail and have made a couple of things. I'm SO in love with the Two-Step Owl Punch! It's so darn cute and you can do so much! (I'll post more when I get them made).

Item # 118074 $16.95

Here are my bride and groom. This is made with Cherry Cobbler Card Stock. The polka dot paper is from the Holly Jolly collection.

It's not just an owl either!

Cut the feet off and you have a ghost!

Well I decided to make Cake Pops for my daughters playgroup Halloween Party...I wanted to make pumpkin ones, but they didnt turn out so pretty...And I also ran out of orange chocolates....SO I went to the store and all they had left was white, so I decided on Ghost Cake Pops. They are still not very pretty....but they taste good and thats what counts!

The problem I had was that the cake kept sliding down the stick, no matter how long I had chilled them prior to dipping them into the chocolate...I'm gonna have to see if I can remedy that somehow...Maybe by melting a little chocolate and dipping the stick into it before I stick it into the cake as glue? just a thought....

Googly Eye Bracelets...TY Martha!

I saw these on the Martha Stewart show the other day and thought they were super cute! So I HAD to try it! I added a little bling to mine though...I found wood bangle braceletsand painted them with some Pewter acrylic paint that I already had. Then used E6000 glue to stick it all on...warning: if you use that glue, make sure you open a window! Tip: I took a wooden dowel and put masking tape onto the end of it inside out so it was easy to pick up the eyes and stick them to the glue so my fingers wouldn't get nasty. (Martha used bees wax, I don't have that...lol). I just love the way they turned out!

Coffee Coozee

Ok, so for now I'm calling this a Coffee Coozee...unless I come up with something cute! So this would normaly go around a paper cup, but I didn't have one of those.
They are for sale for $5.00!

Chocolate Chip Cookies! MMM

The moms group I belong to went to a local Fire Department for a tour and lesson about fire safety. They (the firemen) kept talking about Chocolate Chip cookies, So I made the guys some cookies to drop off along with this thank you card.

I used The following:
Marina Mist Cardstock & Ink pad
Cajun Craze Cardstock & Ink pad
Crumb Cake Cardstock
Chocolate Chip Ink pad & Stampin' Write Marker (for the chips)
White Gel Pen
Circle Circus Stamp Set
Because I care Stamp Set
1 3/4" Circle Punch
Circle Scallop Punch (for teeth marks)
Scallop Border Punch

Ugly Plastic Container...Now Pretty!

STOP! Don't throw out those plastic containers that you get your fruits and veggies in! (i.e. Strawberries, Blueberries, Tomato's, Etc.). Let's Recycle it instead!

First I'd like to thank Kerry's Paper Crafting Blog for this great idea!

The container I used is a blueberry container, so it's a little thiner than others. But it's still perfect enough to fit some wonderful little suprises inside. I put a gift card next to it so you can see the size. I think it would be a perfect fit for a gift card and some chocolates.

The larger/deeper ones are great to put some votive candles in. Great for Christams, Birthdays, Teachers Gifts...Just use your imagination!

Floral Hair Clips

I made these today for Liv. I thought they turned out pretty & she LOVES them.

If you want to know how to make them, email me!

More Fall!

This great weather has put me in the mood for autumn! I love that time of year best!

This "Quilt Card" as I'm going to call it, is made with the Curly Label Punch, More Mustard & Cajun Craze Card Stock, & Autumn Spice Speciality Designer Series Paper (available in the new Holiday Mini) I used Old Olive Ribbon.

This next card is made with the Autumn Harvest stamp set (available in the Big Catalog). I used a watercolor technique on the leaves to make them look like "fall". I think the pumpkin is just super cute & happy!

Please let me know if you have ANY questions about the techniques I've used!
