Perfect Poison

Can you believe it is September already?  My kids have been in school for almost a month already.  CRAZY!  I have two months till halloween and already I am stressing about costumes.  Baby M is going to be a bee (scored that one last year at Walmart for like $4).  Baby E tells me he wants to be a hot dog . . . or Buzz Lightyear comes up frequently too . . . not sure which he will decide.  J says he wants to be a zombie but when I showed him this creepy zipper face picture I saw on pinterest (which I would totally love to try), he rejected it . . . far too scary, so we will see how that goes.  E wants to be one of the Monster High Monsters.  I delayed it last year, but this year since she has read the books and really still likes them a lot, I will let her do it.  Then I just have to figure out me and the hubs.  Ooh, and then classroom treats have to be made too!  I think I am going to do some stamping for those too . . . we shall see!

This one was my favorite of the four cards I stamped on Tuesday!  I just love this image!  Totally perfect and spooky!  I used the sketch on the Card Positioning Systems blog (CPS280).  Aren't these Krafty Kimmie Stamps just DARLING?!?!?  *squeals*  I seriously want them all!  So fun and easy to color!  Go get some (and seriously, I don't work for the company in any way -- I just love them!!)

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus). Stamps : For the Soul (Hanna Stamps), "God Bless" sentiment by American Art Stamp Paper: Lily Kate - Basic Grey, Neenah Solar White, SU vellum card stock, SU Whisper White Ink : Onyx Black Versafine Accessories : Sheer 5/8th Inch organdy ribbon, Nestabilities (Circle and scalloped circle), sewing machine, white thread, circle of plastic canvas, copic markers, white brads, paper piercing ...

Pinecone Balls Revisited

So lately I have been noticing that a lot of the traffic to my blog has been to the tutorial on how to make the pinecone balls that I put together about a year ago. SO, due to the increase in popularity, I thought I would get rid of some of my extra supplies on hand (because I made some already this year again and my fingers are sore enough) -- I have decided to giveaway a kit that contains enough supplies to make three balls. It features some great papers and ribbon and will be similar to the ones you may have seen at orientaltrading.com . I know it is not a huge giveaway, but I thought it would be fun! To enter, tell me what your favorite Christmas tradition is in the comments section of this post. I will draw a random winner on December 1st , so enter today!!! UPDATED: We have a WINNER -- Post number 44 was chosen using the random number generator and the winner is *drum roll please* Rosella said... WOW! I'd love to make some of these beautiful pinecones! I think my fa...
