French Foliage

I am still up in the air about the French Foliage stamp set. I love leaf images and that is mostly why I got it but nothing can compete with Gently Falling (one of my all time favorites). I have a few ideas on some other cards that I want to play around with. Hopefully, it will make me love this one too.

Cardstock – Whisper White, Basic Black
Ink – More Mustard, Cajun Craze, Basic Black
Stamp – Fall Foliage
Extras – Window Framelits, Sponges, Simply Scores, Bronze Buttons, Linen Thread, Basic Black Marker, Spritzer, Snail Adhesive, Glue Dots

Turkey Treats

Gobble Gobble! Thanksgiving is just around the corner and these tasty treats would be a perfect accent to your decor or replace the greeting with a name to create the cutest place card.

This is one of the project that we did in my club this time around. The technique was using the punch in different ways to create art. Obviously, the turkey is the art.

October Club Card

Life has been super busy lately and I have honestly not had time to think about the blog let alone come and post something. There are some big updates that I will be sharing with you shortly.

This card we made in Stampin Club (Andrea Shields). It uses some great techniques. If you want to learn, send me a quick email and I will give you the lesson (if I can remember).  =)

Halloween is right around the corner! I don’t know about you but I am super excited. Although, I haven’t gotten much done for it. I had grand plans to decorate the house but have yet to do anything put a painting and a few vinyl window clings. Pretty lame. There is always time this weekend though.

I saw a card very similar to this one out on the blogosphere (ok, ok, it was on Pinterest). I kept waking up in the middle of the night wanting to try it out. So when we got back from the pumpkin patch on Sunday, I threw it together. Literally, I think it took me 10 mins to do.

Recipe:
Cardstock – Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive
Ink – Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Basic Black
Stamps – Hand Penned Holidays,
Extra – Oval Punch, 1 inch Circle Punch, Sponges, Snail adhesive, Dimensionals, Chocolate Chip Stampin write marker

Happy Halloween!

Oh Boy! Having a light box makes a HUGE difference in how my postings look. There is no way I can go back to not having one. I actually made a bunch of stuff over the weekend just so I could have something to take a picture of!

These little boxes I whipped up for Aiden’s classes Halloween party.  Simple and easy. Plus they will be filled with a sweet treat for all the little kiddos.

I am still amazed how much better the quality of my pictures look. I can’t stop staring! Now to the ultimate test, Pinterest.
