Two Little Pumpkin Sitting All Alone
Ciao Bella,
Today is just a quick share…but it is so perfect for Autumn…take a look

Aren't they the cutest little things…..I have to admit that I didn't think up this way too cute creation, but when I saw these little babies I just knew I had to make them …I used the Stamp Set Paisley Prints( 121121) pg. 11 in the Holiday Mini Catalog, Chantilly Crochet Trim( 118480) pg. 190 in the IB&C and Old Olive 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon ( 119256) pg. 191 in the IB&C…
These are perfect little decorations for just about anywhere…home, office or even classroom …

Today's share is a sneak peak at one of the seven projects we will be making at my "Quick I Need a Favor" class on October 4th or October 5th…
This class is all about making party favors. Party favors can be expensive and time consuming…I can teach YOU how to make the most of your time and money…
So let's take a peek …

I used the Got Treats Stamp Set ( 120627) pg 55 in the IB&C, for my image. I used the Bitty Box & Envelope Die( 115967) pg 205, in my Big Shot to make the box…Now it is simple as run the Die through the BigShot, 1 stamped image, and two quick punches…your are done for the outside that is…..
Now the inside…

BOO!!! isn't that so cute…I told you I was keeping my eye on you…I used some mini glue dots(103683) pg. 197 in the IB&C, to "keep my eyes on you"….
I can't wait to make some more…I'll be making them for the Hinesville Oktberfest…..
Here is some more information about my class…

Are you ready to see it?

It is spooky and cute at the same time …I used the Wicked Cool Stamp Set (120600) pg 23 in the IB&C, Raven Lace Trim(120988) pg. 8 in the Holiday Mini Catalog, Black Flourish Designer Jewels(120987) pg.8 in the Holiday Mini Catalog, Old Olive 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon( 119256) pg. 191 in the IB&C…

Are you ready ?

Roses with Chrochet Trim…
Ciao Bella,
I have a special treat for you today… have been having fun Making Paper and Ribbon Roses with either Crochet Trim or Lace Trim…
take a look …

This rose I created for a Halloween project, but when I finished it didn't quite fit with the project that I had envisioned… So I'm going to either save it for a special Project or add a pin backing to it and where it on my jacket, when things get a little cooler…
I made it with RazzleBerry 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon (119957) pg. 191 in the IB&C and the New Raven Lace Trim (120988) pg 8 in the Holiday Mini Catalog…
I just love this New Raven Lace Trim
Now for this rose, it took on a life of it's own …LOL and now it too big for the project it was intended…
After making the RazzleBerry rose I was curious if I could make it a bit easier…So I tried it with Card Stock…yes that blue is paper…
I used Night of Navy Card Stock ((1000867) pg. 168 in the IB&C, and the Victoria Crochet Trim ( 118481) pg. 190 in the IB&C. I also used the Antique Brads( 117273) pg. 187 in the IB&C…and I told you I couldn't stop…so I added a few Layers of Stampin' Up's New Deck The Halls Designer Fabric (121716) pg. 16 of the New Holiday Mini Catalog.Last I added a few Scallop punched pieces of Cherry Cobbler Card Stock …
Now since it is Labor Day, I decided to do a Little Labor of Love for all my readers… I created a tutorial on how to make the Precious Roses.
So click here for your FREE PDF tutorial…..
All I ask is if you are another demo please remember the Golden Rule…

Here is another version of the one above that I made for the tutorial.
I hope you enjoy the tutorial and the rest of you Labor Day Weekend…

Wicked Cool Workshop Make and Takes…
Ciao Bella,
I'm still on my Halloween roll..Today I thought I would share my Make and Takes for September Workshops…They are so much fun…

I'm just loving 3×3 note cards these days…and I couldn't help but do a good, better, best with them too…

The first one…the "good" one is super simple, I used the Spooky stamp from the Wicked Cool Stamp Set ( 120600)pg.23 in the Idea Book and Catalog,and the Large Oval Punch (119855) on pg. 203 and the NEW Decorative Label Punch form the NEW HOLIDAY MINI CATALOG…That you can purchase from TOMORROW !!!!!

Now or the "Better" 3X3 note card is the same a the previous card I just added a strip of Presto Patterns Specialty Designer Series Paper ( 117175) pg. 172, in the IB&C. I just love this paper, and I loved the way it came out sponging it with with creepy Halloween colors…

For the "Best" one I Stamped and cut out the witches boots image and added the New Way Too Cool Designer Jewels Black Flourish(120987)pg.8 in the New Holiday Mini Catalog.
Aren't these fun and perfect for fun little notes in the office or even adding a person's name and you have a perfect little place card for your Halloween Party…

Is this not a fun Card, those witches boots almost look like a flower…don't they? I used the Wicked Cool Stamp Set ( 120600) on pg 23 in the IB&C, of course the sweet Treat Cups (116802) on pg. 170 in the IB&C. And Now from the New HOLIDAY MINI CATALOG that will be released on Wednesday September 1 st…. just 2 more days … I can't wait…Ok back to the supplies…Champagne Glass Glitter (120997) pg. 21 in the New Holiday Mini Catty, Raven Lace Trim ( 120988) and Waffle Paper (120985) and both of those are on pg. 8 in the New Holiday Mini Catty. I also gave the whole card a spritz of Silver Foil Smooch Spritz( 118771) pg. 195 in the IB&C…This card,… I can't go on enough how much fun it was to make, the picture just doesn't show really how great it is…

Trick Or Treat Decor Style-
Ciao Bella,
I started working on designing some scrapbook pages for my upcoming classes…and I started with the Halloween layouts for my class Scrapbooking For the Holidays on November 13th…This class has a 2 page layout for each Holiday:Halloween, Fall and Christmas..and since I have been in a Halloween mood lately I thought I would design those pages…..Ok well, let me tell you….that didn't happen, or at least not what I had in mind…..It took on a life of it's own….and now …..well … just take a look…

See I told you …It just took on a life of it's own …and it's now too big to put in an album….. so now I have to either mount it on canvas or find a deep set 12 x 12 picture frame…..
Anyway let tell you about some of the elements on the project…The "flower" in the center I made with the Newsprint Designer Series Paper( 117166) on pg. 175 in the IB&C and the new Decorative Label Punch from the soon to be released Holiday Mini catalog and you can't see it very well but there is champagne colored Glass Glitter also from the Holiday Mini…not to mention the Raven Lace Trim…Now here is where it got funky… and left the normal scrapbook page world..
.I had some of the new Spooky Things Decor Elements, and they were a little too big for what I was thinking…and they were sitting on my desk ,,,and the "trick or treat" just screamed at me to be on the page…and then the spider kept saying "me too"… Okay , not really but you know what I mean…The New Waffle Paper made a perfect layer for both…..a little tearing and it has that creepy feel…..added a few Bats using the new Bat Punch (119279) pg 200 in the IB&C and that's when I called it done…though I could add a few more thing …but that just might be over kill then
I normally would not have thought to use Decor Elements on a scrapbook page…it still kinda gets me … who knew…
If you haven't received your Holiday Mini Catalog yet , please let me know so I can get one to you.
I also have added a listing of all my classes through the end of the year, on my classes and events page…
Feel free to contact me if I can serve you in anyway
Let me know what you think of this over top scrapbook page and leave a comment…
Have a great weekend …

More Spooky Sneak Peaks
Ciao Bella,
I hope every had a great weekend… I know I did…I has a blast playing with all my new Stampin' Up! from the New Holiday Mini Catalog…I can't get enough … it is soooo soooo much fun … I really haven't been this excited… in a while ….and I'm in love with the Wicked Cool stamp set in the New Idea Book &Catalog…
Now before I show you this card …I want you to know I had so much fun…. Normally I do clean and simple or vintage …but with this card I just couldn't stop… for me it is a bit over the top…

First I used the Wicked Cook stamp set (120600) on pg. 23 in the IB&C, Razzleberry Card Stock and Basic Black Card Stock and of the Bat Punch (119279) on pg 200 in IB&C….I also used the New Decorative Label punch(120907) and the Oval punch (120908), both are on pg. 25 in the Holiday Mini…and before I forget I also used the Black Flourish Designer Jewels ( 129988) on pg.8…I love these little self adhesive jewels…..
Now lets look a little closer

Look at the Raven Lace ( 120988) pg 8 of the NEW HOLIDAY MINI Catty to be released September 1st. Then of course there is this NEW Champagne Glass Glitter( 120997) pg 21 in the Soon to be released holiday mini catalog…Don't you just love it … I love all things shinny but not really a glitter girl… but with this soon to be released glitter… I think I'm in Love…It can go from Spooky to Vintage with just a twitch of a witches nose…
