WICKED COOL

I absolutely love Halloween, do you? So needless to say when the catalog came out I checked out all the Halloween goodies and this one made it to the top of my list. I just loved those boots, the witches hat, ummm everything actually! This was a card that I made for a possible stamp camp project. My card wasn't chosen so now I'm able to share it with you! However, you wont want to miss out on stamp camp there will be lots of great cards some of which are Halloween.

I have this set in clear, which made it really easy to place the witches hat directly above her shoes. I was unsure of clear stamp sets when SU! came out with them at first but now I love them, I love that they allow you to add a few stamp images to a block allowing so many more possibilities and easier. Check back tomorrow for some more Halloween fun and a sneak peek from the upcoming New Holiday Mini. If you don't have a holidaymini email me at lorrainetoll@att.net and I will be sure to mail you one ASAP! Thanks for stopping by!

Just a little notebook

Sorry for being MIA for the last several days life just got away from me. I've been pretty busy and then life decided to throw me a curve ball with a teething 2 year old with a pretty bad cold. So all he wants is to snuggle mommy so now I'm starting to feel under the weather, No fun! I have lots to post I just need to get them photographed.

Here was a door prize that I made for my Stampin' Up party yesterday. I think it turned out pretty cute. Jen W. was the winner of this little gift set and she was pretty excited about being the winner and ever more excited once I told here there was a magnet on the back side. This was a simple note pad, pen and clip that I dressed up.

This was a make and take that I made at UnConvention, I went to a couple of weekends ago. This card was designed by I believe Julie Ramos she is one of I guess you could say sisters in our group of SU! Demonstrators. I was pretty excited that she used this set, I had gotten mine in the mail a couple days prior and hadn't been able to use it yet. I love those cages and all the cute little birds that go with it. Thanks again Julie for putting together the UnConvention. If you would like to visit Julie's blog you can find her on my side bar.

For my MArVElo{uS} DAD!

Good Morning, I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. This card was made for my dad who recently had a birthday, I saw this truck and thought it would be perfect to make his birthday card with. He used to have one of these trucks when he was younger it to was green but a little bit of a darker shade. Anywho this card was a case from one of my stampin pals Ruby Johnson. You can visit her blog here and see her version of the card. Thanks Ruby! Scroll down for list of supplies.

TIP: I inked my Square Lattice embossing folder on the raised side and then ran it through the big shot to give it that distressed background. This technique will dirty your folder but is fairly easy to clean off.
