It is so windy here today a witch wouldn't survive on her broomstick flying!!!! I have a few pictures that my downline brought to our meeting last week. The first picture is a pencil holder that Sarah made.
Sarah also made these from felt. You could use them to add to a hairpiece or just use them for a decoration on a
card, box etc.
You can only fit 4 cards in the CD. I put a piece of ribbon around 4 envelopes and attached it as part of the project.
What another beautiful day! Wow! We sure can't complain about our Fall weather this year! I have been trying to get some projects done for the Hospital Bazaar that we have on Monday, October 25th from 7 am to 4 pm but it seems like I get so many interruptions. Last night we had a great MDS Class and today Donna and I go to the Assisted Living to do a couple of Halloween cards-so fun!
I made 3 Christmas Journals this past week. The top 2 are from Becky Roberts' tutorial with the Jolly Christmas DSP. You can go to her website and buy the instructions.
This journal I designed and it was much easier for me to make without the black band. The black band is really cool but more time consuming! I decorated this with DSP, and then added the Olive Striped 1 1/4 inch wide ribbon. The punches used were the 2 3/8 inch Scallop, Ornament, and the 1 3/4 inch Circle. You have to love the punches!!!!!!!!! Quick, quick!

This is a box I made for my snowman cards that I made with Becky Roberts' cards. I just added some DSP on the handle and only made one handle.
On this box I made 2 handles and then attatched 2 of the glimmer brads on each side of the front of the box. I also punched the large Scallop with Cobbler card stock and stamped the snowman on the smaller scallop punch. Was fun to make!
A friend of mine gave me this purse shape with some items inside for my birthday this summer so I traced around the purse and then added some DSP. I put 4 cards and envelopes on the inside and then added the silk flower from the Pretties Kit. I used my Aqua Painters and reinker and painted the flower to match the card stock. A rhinestone brad was added to the center of the flower.
Last night I made a Stampin' Up! CD Tin (Clearance Rack until Monday, October 18th for 5 for $2.99. I used the Jolly Holiday DSP #117159 ($9.95) for the covering and then added the Scallop Circle #113468 ($19.95) in Cherry Cobbler Card Stock and then used the Scalloop Circle #2 #113469 ($19.95) with Vanilla Card Stock. I punched holes with the 1/16 Circle Punch #101227($8.95) around the scallop edge and then sponged with Cherry Cobbler ink around it. Then I stamped "Peace On Earth" with Cherry Cobbler ink with the Peaceful Season stamp set (Level 2 set that all demonstrators received free at convention). I used Very Vanilla 5/8 inch Ribbon#117291 ($8.95) around the tin.
I made 4 Scallop Cards to put inside the tin with Very Vanilla Ribbon and Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding #120992 ($6.95 in Holiday Mini).
I again used the Big Shot and the large Scallop and put it just a little ways down from the top of the Scallop so I could make a card. Then I made another Scallop and adhesived it onto the Cherry Cobbler card and then added the smaller scallop with Very Vanilla card stock, added holes and the image.
I also added a Very Vanilla Scallop on the inside so you could write a message. I put a piece of Confetti Cream #101856 ($6.50) card stock on the inside top and bottom of the CD. I used the Corner Rounder Punch to finish off the ends. Now I am off to making some more tins--maybe Birthday, Thank You, etc. Watch this week for more ideas!!!
A cool cool day today after the hot days we have been having! I did get my tomatoes all pulled and the rest of the garden cleaned up then spent the rest of the day inside preparing for stamp classes and bazaars. Yesterday I had a birthday party for my dad who was 89 years old! He did enjoy having everyone come in.
Just love this stamp set and card! I cased it from Dawn as thought it was so cute.
This is the Scrapbook page we made at club this month. Some of the gals also made Tempting Turquoise pages. We used the Letter Press Love plate with the Big Shot and Craft Ink and Watercolor Paper. You can see a better impression on the top photo. I was also having trouble with my clear plate so I bought a new one and it worked so much better-couldn't believe the difference. Also, after you run it through the Big Shot be sure and pull it straight up so it will not smear!
You just got to love that Spritz Spray! So much fun. I used the new Halloween Spider Web Embossing Folder, added Old Olive Scalloped Punch and brads, Cherry Cobber card stock and DSP! A quick card and so fun!
I just made another wild purse using the Greenhouse Gala Designer Series Paper. I also used So Saffron, Pear and Pumpkin Pie card stock for the cards and accessories on the purse. The larger accessory on the purse is a silk flower that I painted with an aqua painter and Pumpkin Pie reinker. I also added a rhinestone brad in the middle of the flower and 4 brads on the handles of the purse. These are so much fun to make!
I made this purse and 4 cards last night as a lady ordered a bright purse for her friend's birthday this week. They are always so much fun to make with Becky Roberts' patterns. Instead of adding a pocket to the front I used the large circle punch and 2 scallop punches and then added pearls around the scallop.You can click on the picture to get a closer view. I also used the Friend stamp set and the flower stencil to make my 4 cards with Olive and Rose card stock. I am on a roll so be watching for more purses as I am going to be making these for gifts this Christmas season.
I have been away for a few days as we flew to Atlanta for my neice's lovely outdoor wedding. It was so beautiful right next to Sinclair Lake. 
My 3 sisters and I before the wedding began at our cabins on the Lake.
We are finally all together again again--first time in 6 years--brothers and sisters! Rick, Rhonda, Sherry, Randy, Sandy, Peg and Ed! We had such a great time and it was so hard to say good-byes!
We visited a plantation near Sandersville and they fixed us a beautiful dinner! Wow! Squash and Vegetable Casseroles, Potatoes, Chicken, Rolls, Broccoli Salad, a beautiful dessert and of course some Sweet Tea! We also toured Savannah, went across the border to South Carolina, and walked the city of Madison. We all made it home safely and had a beautiful vacation!!!
These were the cards and projects that I shared at my Downline Meeting! I will be showing some other downline pictures as the days go by! We enjoyed experimenting with the Letterpresses! They do work best with Craft Ink, New Clear Pads, and the Watercolor Paper.
I decorated a table for our downline meeting on Monday with the Haunted House, Pumpkin with DD and Halloween cards and candy wrappers. We had a nice meeting and saw lots of cool new show and tell cards and projects!
I made this Candy Wrapper Bigz L Die #120890 from the Nite Owl #123012 Designer Series Paper. I also used the Scalloped Punch, 1 1/4 inch punch, and the 1 3/8 inch punch. I stamped the skull on Whisper White card stock and then mounted it on Old Olive card stock. These would be fun to fill with chocolates or other Halloween candy. I hope you have a great day!
