Christmas Stamp Camp

I LOVE the flower on the 2nd card. MUST get that punch!!!

Christmas Stamp Camp

Some stickers, a little stamping & some ribbon. Easy peasy!

Christmas Stamp Camp

We made 20 cards from the SU Scrappin' Kit. If you used the full kit (we only used half) you could more than 40 cards from it. Maybe be plan for next year???

Christmas Circle Journal

My page for Joanne's CJ. I really like how it turned out. I'm not sure my journalling of our Christmas Eve traditions is that great but I like the "look" of it. LOL

Style ATCs

For Christie's Fashion Icon swap. The dresses didn't turn out the color I envisioned (my pink embossing powder does NOT match pretty in pink ink!) but I liked the results.!

Surprise!!

I have NOT blown off this blog. I have tons of stuff to post but haven't taken the time to do it (hmmm, maybe that IS the definition of blowing off???) But, here, now, TODAY, I'm going to remedy all that. I'm going to post the stuff I have been ignoring AND I'm going to post the 20 cards we made at the C'mas Stamp Camp at Sue's!!!

Without further ado, here is a timely, Halloween project!!!

Someone (Christie??) posted a link showing all the different Halloween "characters" that could be made w/the scallop punch. They were using them as candy decorations. I don't like peppermint patties and, w/them all lined up in a row, I thought GARLAND. I mad 2 attempts at the garland. The first one was too skinny & the weight of the scallops pulled the garland over & you couldn't see the pretty faces.

The 2nd attempt worked better but, next year, I'm going to make a LONGER piece of cheesecloth (the cloth was dyed using the TON of Walnut Ink that Sarah had given me years ago!!)

September Stamp Camp IV

Last Stamp Camp card. Another birthday. I LOVE this, never would have thought to ink & then stamp in the same color. Another stripe matted w/a solid!! LOVE IT!! And the scallops!

September Stamp Camp III

More birthday cards! While the cupcake set and the cupcake die never rocked my boat, I do LOVE this card!!! Sue has such good ideas!!! I want a cupcake now!!

September Stamp Camp II

I love this set & MUST get it!! I also must learn how to color stamps w/markers!!! Hmm, can I send this card to myself. I just can't seem to shake this cold!!!

September Stamp Camp I

It was Stamp Camp last Saturday!! My favorite day of the month! (maybe even more fun than payday!) I LOVE this b'day card. I love the stripe paper backed w/a solid (soft suede in this case, the only one of the new "in colors" I like. Seems like everyone loves every other color!) Since I'm heading into b'day central (my niece, my nephew, my son, my MIL, my bro & ME!) I can use all the b'day cards I can get!!!

SNOW!!!

Ok, just a few flakes. On some ATCs. I don't even remember who's swap this is. I really wanted a different feel for this but ended up going w/the bling. Nothing else worked the way I wanted. The background paper is a little shimmery, not sure if you can tell in this pic.....

Last Halloween ATC

for now anyway. LOL. Candy Corn ATC. This looked much better in my head. It turned out ok but I'm not sure the glitter helped at all.

More Halloween ATCs

More ATC for Chris's Halloween theme ATCs. This one is for Bats. I've had this frame for a long time and finally had an excuse for using it!

Glue Dots

My Stamp Shack buddy Kerry posted a link to this video on making homemade glue dots. I seem to go thru glue dots VERY quickly and never seem to have the "right" size. So I made these. They work very well! The only complaint is they are not flat or paper thin. Next time I make some, I'm going to try to smush them BEFORE they dry & see if they come out flatter that way. Give them a try!
