Freaky Friday

Still in the Halloween mood, I must be feeling very spooky this year. In a box of loose ends from my MIL's apartment clean out I found this lone glass. I remembered reading about stampin' on tissue paper and using Mod Podge to seal it to glass so I gave it a go.

I took a sheet of tissue paper that was leftover from between the SU! Window Sheets and stamped the skeleton from Piece of Poison. I intended to stamp random images but anyone who knows me well knows I CAN NOT do random. I tried, really I did, but I CAN NOT do random. Anyways, after I stamped I crumpled up the tissue paper into a ball and then carefully flatten it back out. Next I covered the glass, and parts of my arm, with Mod Podge and carefully covered it with the tissue paper. I set it aside to dry and trimmed the top edge carefully after it had totally dried. I then recoated it with Mod Podge and after that had dried finished it up with a coat of Clear Spray Sealer. It looks really cool close up and I really like the results. I know by now that you need the Piece of Poison set so call or email me today to order yours.

Lantern found in the clearance aisle

So we were shopping at Home Goods the other day, just browsing, when I saw this little lantern on clearance for $4. I thought it was cute so I bought it and put it on the shelf in my Stampin' Sanctuary and that was that. Then as I was stamping skeletons from the new Holiday Mini, from the stamp set called Piece of Poison and I had an aha moment. Why not stamp skeletons in the windows of the lantern? So out came the White Staz On. Instead of risking breaking the window panes taking them in and out, I stamped on SU! Window Sheets cut to size. I think it came out great and the best part is I can change the windows as I see fit because I held them in place with mini glue dots.

Halloween Class

There are only two spots left in the Halloween Class next Tuesday, September 13th. Cost is $10. We will be doing the above projects and I have added a surprise project too. Call or email to reserve your spot.

Thinking Halloween

I have never been one for Halloween and all that creepy crawly stuff but for some reason this year is different. Maybe it is because Kaylee talked me into getting a stamp set out of the Holiday Mini called Piece of Poison. She had to have it because of the rat image. Seems it isn't enough to own a hairless rat you have to stamp rats on everything in sight. Kaylee found some eerie dead looking flowers and put them in an old glass jar she found at a thrift shop. We made eerie looking water and Kaylee made a label to go on the front. It really looks like something you would find at the Adam's Family dinner table. Remember Morticia and how she would cut the roses off of the stems and just use the stems with thorns ? Hey, that gives me an idea.

Happy September 1st

Woohooo!!!! It is finally September 1st and that means you can order out of the fabulous Holiday Mini. There is something for everyone in this mini catalog and I do mean everyone. Fantastic Halloween and Fall sets, gorgeous Christmas sets and accessories and very sweet Valentine sets. I love the single stamps in the back. Everyone who has ordered from me should have received their mini by now, if you haven't or are a new customer who needs one, please contact me so you don't miss out on this mini which goes from now till January 3rd.

Is it Monday already?

Why does the weekend go by so quickly?

Today's card is a very feminine card but full of so many textures I think a guy would find it interesting or at least I hope so. I used the "wrong" side of the Elegant Lines Embossing folder and on top of the white panel on the front used butterflies from the Beautiful Wings Embosslit, popped up on dimensionals. A couple rhinestones and it really sparkles in real life.

Happy Birthday to my favorite Aunt.

Last week my favorite aunt had a BIG birthday and we surprised her by driving up to Columbus and meeting her whole family at their favorite restaurant. She was definitely surprised and we loved surprising her and getting to see everyone. This was the card I made to send to her so she wouldn't suspect anything. Inside I wrote I was sorry I wouldn't get to see her on her BIG day but I would see her soon at our family reunion. Icing on the cake for the best surprise I have pulled off in a long time.

The base of this card is Stampin' Up! 's Natural Ivory, it is a heavier weight card stock and makes for a card that will hold up better.
