Fall Scarecrow

I just love this time of year.  The weather is so nice.  It's great to go outside and not burn up.  I love leaving my windows up and feeling the cool breezes blowing.  We've not been able to leave the windows open much yet, but a few days it's been really nice. 
I wanted to share a cute fall treat holder I made today.  I got the idea from Tammy White 

I added the handle for easy gift giving.  I plan on filling it with some candy and maybe a little lip gloss or fingernail polish.  A little something for a special friend at church whose birthday is November 1st.

Christmas Tags

I don't know about you but I have a really hard time throwing Christmas cards and tags away after the holidays are over.  I kept all the gift tags I made last year and will probably do the same this year.  Here are 2 of the many I have made already this year.  They are both made using the new Framelits dies in the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini catalog.  The tag on the left is using the Scentsational Season Bundle and the tag on the right is using the Perfectly Preserved bundle.  I also used the stamp set "Sweets for the Sweet" from the big SU catalog.  I love the colors and I think that someone would love to get one of theses tags on their Christmas gift.

I hope that you will find a stamp set or die that will make fun gift tags for all your gifts this year.   If you are interested is buying any of these products just go to my Stampin' Up! Business Website

Halloween Vignette

A vignette (vin-yet) can be many different things.  In the art world, the specific definition depends if you are referring to literature, photography, or stamps.  However, it basically comes down to design orientation.  Here is my Halloween Vignette.  Most of it's been made using stamps, paper and other materials.  My sweet granddaughters love putting it together and playing with the different pieces.

Here wishing you a Happy Halloween from GeeGee, Jordan, Emery and Leah.

Until later, happy stamping.

Christmas Cards

Well it's that time of year when I begin to look for ideas for my Christmas cards that I want to make.  There are so many great ideas and stamp sets I always have a problem picking just 1.  So I make a lot of different cards.  That way I get to use all my Christmas stamp sets, paper and dies.  Most everyone on my list will get a one of a kind card.  Here's a card I found at Keenan Kreations
The word CASE in stamping means "Copy And Share Everything".  It's OK to copy a persons card if you give them credit.  Sometimes I copy totally, sometimes I change it up.  I always try to give credit.  Sometimes I forget where I saw a project and if I do and it's yours please let me know so I can give credit.

I call it Rhinestone Christmas.  I love the rhinestones and I added lots.  I used the Perfect Pennants Bigz die for the tree shape, strips of DSP, small amount of ribbon and put it all together.  It was fun and even my Granddaughter Jordan made one.  If you are interested in ordering any of the products you see on my blog just go to my Stampin' Up! business website 
I hope you find something that you like and would want to create to give to your family and friends this holiday season. 
Until later, happy stamping.

Stampin' Up! Clubs

I have the most wonderful girl friends that like to get together and stamp.  They are always happy and in a great mood.  We enjoy making projects together, but better yet, just being together.  I've been stamping for over 10 years and have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator almost 5 years.  I never intended to do anything but take advantage of the discount.  But life changes and because I made the plunge I have made some really great friends.  Ladies, I love each of you.

Yesterday I shared 2 of the projects my ladies were making and I wanted to share the other one today.  This card is a fun card that would be great to give to a family with small children.  I used the Scentsational Season set and matching Framelits.  

If you are interested in any of the products that you see on my blog you can go to my Stampin' Up! business website and place your order.  
Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have been inspired to go and have some fun with friends and be creative.
Until later, happy stamping,

Christmas Projects

I'm still fighting this cold and cough but it's much better than it was.  I have felt like playing some in my stamping room and here are the projects that my Stampin' Up! clubs will make this weekend.
This first card is a  "Fun Fold".  I got the idea from Connie Stewart.  Connie has a wonderful series going on right now called "Flash Cards".  If you haven't visited Connie's site you should go.  She has some really great ideas.

This card will fit a regular envelope and will stand up for display.  A really great card to send. 

The next card my ladies will be making is a simple yet beautiful card.  There are so many stamp sets available and it's so hard to pick just a few.  This card is using the Joyous Celebrations from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini. 

The ladies will also be making another card using the new Scentsational Season stamp set and matching framelits dies.  I'll share that card at a later date.

Next I want to share a little Hershey's Nugget holder I came up with.  This would be easy and fast as a little gift for school mates, teachers or friends for a little something at Christmas.  I used the new Apothecary Accents Framelits from the Stampin' Up! big catalog.

Just add 2 Hershey's Nugget and you have a cute, fun and quick gift.

Well that's all I have for you today.  I hope you will have fun creating cards and gifts for your family and friends this Christmas season.
Until later, happy stamping.

Sick

I've been under the weather this past week.  Cold, cough and all that goes with it.  I haven't even felt like stamping.  Hard to believe I know.  I did some cutting of cardstock last Saturday morning and then it hit me like a ton of bricks.  I'll be back in the next couple of days to post projects for my upcoming Stampin' Up! club.
Until later, happy stamping,
