Blog Candy by Clare

Thought that I would give a little shout out about Clare's candy goodness. this is only one shot of the four that she has to give away for her second blog anniversary.

go get yourself some candy...it's almost October and Halloween.

Waltzing with the mouse for Halloween

  It's that time of the month again.......time to put on your dancing shoes to 

WALTZ with the MOUSE

 

 I do not own one Halloween stamp from WMS...I stared at the few WMS stamp sets that I do own...looking for a stamp that might resemble a bat, or witch, or pumpkin.....nothing! Then decided that I really wanted to join the dance since I have not missed one since it's conception. It has to be WMS stamps...but that doesn't mean I can't use punches...or how about a freebie template from Claire's store. BINGO, I hit something and the light came on. Here's a shot of the goodie box (Sweetie Pouch) before it gets filled. AND a pic of the cauldron that I made with punches. I started out with a pumpkin made from punches and then when I made the sentiment tag, the cauldron just made more sense. The pumpkin will be available in a future post.

The cauldron, I found here at Penny's blog. Thank you, Penny!

The sentiment is three words that I found from the WMS Afternoon Tea Sentiments.

I used the leaves from Big Blooms for my 'fire' to brew the treats and the leaves that hold the treat bag at the top.

For the freebie 'Sweetie Pouch' and the stamp sets here's a link to the WMS store.

And the finished product:

I had brown 'grass' in there, too, but ended up taking it out as it took away from the leaves and the inside of the sweetie pouch.

To go see the other dancers creations go to the FORUM.

Bookmark Tag

 DDH requested a bookmark for her birthday.....what!!!! ....that's all!!!!!

Let's Ink It Up has a challenge that ends tomorrow, Australia time,

Which means in about 6 hours from now.

There was a tag all crumbled up and stained with Peeling Paint sitting on my work table. I stamped a few times with some Club Scrap rubber stamps and a happy Birthday from SU, the Vintage labels set. Got out the brand new Fired Brick distressing ink re-inker and painted some red on a few areas added Antique Linen and some crocheted trim again from SU. Stamped Happy Birthday all over the back in black. Had to keep it relatively flat since she will be using it as a bookmark.

Thanks for coming by!

ED Note: seems that is not all that DDH wants for her birthday! John and I had a chance to talk over dinner tonight and he said she requested a new faucet for her kitchen and one for her laundry tub. so the girl knows what she wants and who to ask!!!! wonder if we are headed over to the East coast to install both items?
John said he could tell the 7 y. o. how to install them and she would fare better than the two adults in the home. some ppl just don't like messing with the plumbing!!!! 
Had to share.

Sew KIND of you

Oh my...it's not Thursday yet.....and.....I am getting my entry in to Delightful Inspiration!!!! Procrastination has left the building!!! Well....only in this case.

I picked the paper first then colored the image. this CTMH paper was so busy I decided to leave the bear bare. I like him......I masked him and sponged Bashful Blue while leaving the Nestie intact.

Double Delight challenged us to sew either by machine or faux. Carly had a really cute sketch and I went with that, too!

 

Thanks, Faith, Carly, and Double Delight for all the inspiration.

and to the rest of you...

Thanks for coming by!

Daisy Doodles and simple

There's a new challenge at Daisy Doodles...starting today. They call it simple with only one embellishment.
My card was so simple I decided to make three. I had a birthday party to go to. The brand new baby, Kevin was born September 3, his two sisters' bdays are Sept 5th and 8th. Kevin's, my son, is Sept 12. Next year we will have to buy 4 gifts for one party. They always celebrate all the birthdays with one party. Better start a Christmas account just for the September birthday club. Let me not forget that one of our DD's bday is Sept 20th. Anywho, I made these three simple, very simple.

And there is no inside, but the greeting is on the pull out card.

Ariel just loved that is was different. It was funny to watch her try to open the card, then she realized...pull the yellow ribbon!

The next card was for Casidhe, she's seven, and she only cared about the gifts. Typical!

The inside was a piece of scrap that had been shoved through the Cuttlebug a number of times prior to the birth of this card.

White paper has seen CB folder 'Textile' and more than a couple of nesties, round and oval scalloped. It had a very interesting center that was plain and tons of marks all around it. sponged it with Ballet Blue to bring out the textures. I thought it looked cool.

Last but not least, my fave.

I got into the deep sea fishing tackle box and raided it. Found several huge hooks and settled on a somewhat smaller one. I like that it was dark and shiny. Tied it to the paper with fishing line.

All the images you see here are from the Daisy Doodles store. The sentiments are from the same set, 'Only Words'.

The birthday candles are from the set by the same name 'Birthday Candles'.

Thanks for coming by!

Hope you enjoy the rest of the DT creations.

My first ever blog candy

RIBBON

Now, here is what I have to offer

 Become a follower, leave a comment,  and get a friend over here to do the same. The lucky commenter will receive 10 yards of ribbon, at least three six different colors and styles. If your friend wins, you, too, will win a package of ribbon, make sure that your friend mentions your name. It's like having your name in twice but you only enter once. This contest will run through October 10th at 10 PM. The winner and friend will be announced on October 14th. Please, only one entry per person.

(You can get more friends to comment, become followers and mention your name and that will increase your chances.)

Good Luck to each and every one of you!!!

 9/12 I have decided to add a magnetic sheet (5" x 8") for the Cuttlebug to help with the Spellbinders...Keep an eye open for more candy to add to the package.

09/13 I just received some Stampin Up crochet trim to include as one of the ribbons and I ordered some SU RED bias tape.
ED NOTE:09/29 I got my Stampin Up order in today, the red bias tape is now vanilla. I must have goofed! But really the vanilla is by far better as you can add your own color to it to change it up a bit and then crinkle it. The red that was in the order is 1/4" grosgrain so that will be in the candy package, too!
