Candy Wrapper

This is another cute idea for tricks and treaters. Just take a candy bar and wrap DSP around it. You will want to put adhesive on 3 sides. After you stick the sides and top together take a brayer and use it on both ends. Add some ribbon and a little spider!!!
It got just a little cool here today! Rain but not snow! I just booked a week in Nov-Dec for AZ--to visit my daughter! Should be fun! Vegas here we come!

Sixlets Bags with Topper

Here is another candy treat for Halloween. I put some Sixlets in the skinny bags and added a topper. Fun, quick and easy to make. I am selling them at the Hospital Bazaar tomorrow. This Bazaar is open to the public and is in the East and West Auditorium. Fun day!!

Christmas Coffee Boxes

I made these boxes for some coffee that I will give as gifts. These are the little Kraft Gift Boxesin the Holiday Mini (124106 for $2.95 for 4 boxes). I just put DSP on the sides and top of the box, added some ribbon and added a Stitched Felt (#124108-$9.95 for 16 pieces). So easy. Inside I have 4 Maxwell Coffee containers--I think 16 come in a box. Just cute and inexpensive to make! I hope you have a wonderful fall day! I am going to finish taking my garden down and digging up onions, potatoes and parsnips and hauling my pumpkins out! I also will need to get some stamping in as we have the Hospital Bazaar on Monday!!!

Halloween Pencils

This is a cute idea to use for Halloween treats. Just put 2 pencils in a clear skinny bag and add a topper (I used the scallop punch and the 1 3/8 punch and Batty for You Stamp Set) I also added some polka-dotted black ribbon. Cute, fun and easy! Hope you are having a great day!!!

Spider at the Irelands

I will try and get a better picture from the front but this is a little Halloween creativity my husband and I made over the weekend. We put the spider along I-90 so travelers can have something to chuckle about as they pass through. My husband got a haybale and I just sprayed the face on the front of the bale and then he got some PVC pipe and couplets to make the legs. For the antenna we just added PVC pipe and then I spray painted some cans and added it to the pipe. I guess one never gets too old to celebrate the holidays and have a little fun!

Halloween Tables

These are the Halloween Tables that I made for the Veterinary Clinic and the PT's at the Hospital. I had so much fun making all of the little candy containers. Also, note the cheese sticks! I just added a decorative scallop and adhesived it to a cheese stick. I also made organge Artichoke dip-How fun!

Lots of ideas!

Fun at Club

We had fun at our club and even had a suprise visitor, batwoman aka Cary! What a fun and beautiful outfit! Just love this club as always so happy, eager, and creative!!


This was one of the cards that we made that was completely cased from Dawns . It was a fun card and you can make it for any season.

Instructions:

12 x 12 DSP and score on 2, 6, and 10 inch lines

Turn DSP and cut on every 4 inches

You now have your card

Fold your right down from top to bottom of middle line

Fold your left side down from top to bottm of middle line

Turn your paper so bottom is at top and do the same thing again.

Now you should have 2 diamonds on the back. Fold down the middle of each diamond.
Add the 2 3/4 inch black square on the front along with the large scalloped in Cajun Craze, small scalloped in Basic Black, 1 3/8 circle in Cajun Craze, and 1 1/4 inch Whisper White Circle with your favorite stamp on it.

You can also add a 2 3/4 inch square on the inside back diamond to write on.

Dawn also has a video you can watch as I am sure it would be easier to follow than my directions!!!

Falling Leaves with Sewing

The colors did not turn out very good on this post but it is the Razzleberry , Old Olive, and Mustard cs. I sewed around the Old Olive and then also sewed down the middle of the leaves after I had scrunched the mustard squares and the leaves.

Free Big Shot

Remember, I will be giving away a Free Big Shot on November 1st. For every $25 you order (subtotal) you get to put your name in my bucket and I will draw out a name on November 1st to some lucky person. These can be club orders, customer orders or online orders. Also, I still have a couple of spots in my Cookie and Candy Classes if you would like to come on Monday (6pm) and Tuesday (1 pm) Just email me or give me a call!!! Have a great day!
This is my ribbon holders that I got from IKEA when I was in Arizona last spring. I just love them but I probably should have got 4 of them as they fill up so fast. I put my retired ribbons on the top row but as you can see the holders are all filled up! It is so handy when you just need to grab a spool and run! Have a great day and enjoy the beautiful fall days!

Spice Cake DSP

This is a very simple and clean card that I am sending to my sister whose husband is going through cancer treatments. I have also included a "Starbucks" card for her to enjoy for a few minutes and relax. I have learned one thing from being the decision maker of my father for 7 years that I hope to share with family in the future and that is every once in awhile to send the caregiver an "upper" --may it be a card, phone call, cup of coffee, just a few words of encouragement, listening, ice cream, a book or whatever to keep them encouraged. It is a very tedious job and I know everyone says we dont expect you to do it but someone needs to take the responsibility and I have to remind myself many times how lucky I am to be the one and treasure the memories. Have a great day and enjoy the beautiful fall!
Materials:
4 1/4 x 11 Marine Mist cs
Soft Suede cs
Marine Mist Striped Ribbon
Spice Cake DSP
Word Play #120308 wood #120651 Clear
Scallop Trim Border
