We have got some really cool stamps in the Holiday catalog for Halloween.  This is one of my favorites.  You can do so much with it.  I will be showing a ton of stuff made with this set.  Don’t forget to check out the other spooky sets too!

More Eastern Elegance DSP.  So pretty!  These colors, Crushed Curry and Coastal Cabana, so go well together.  I really love the new Chevron ribbon they came out with this year.  This is Crushed Curry, but it comes in 11 other colors, page 173 in the big catalog.  The sentiment is from the stamp set “Hello Lovely”.

I love our new burlap ribbon.  I frayed the edges on this to give it that distressed look.   The stamp set I used is Truly Grateful from the new Holiday catalog.

You can now order this background stamp on page 23.  I love Vintage…Really?  Anyway, I am sure you will see me using this a lot.  Do you agree that this card is perfect for a man?

Don’t throw out those little brad and button cases that you get.  Turn them into little gift holders.  This one I covered with washi tape and made the rose from our Blossom punch.  Just put in a piece of jewelry, candy, or whatever.  Too much fun to create.

Can you believe that this DSP I just ordered.  What was I thinking?  It should have been one of my first.  It is so beautiful!  The catalog just does not do justice to our beautiful papers.  When I saw it used so much at convention I just knew I had to order it as soon as I got home and I did.

I used the Tag It Set for this card and the new Crisp Cantelope paper from Venetian Romance.  OOPS!  I just realized that my little rhinestone slipped on the You in the sentiment.  I apologize for that.  Today has been one of those days.LOL

I cased this card from Patricia Brannin.  It was a swap I rec’d at convention and I loved it so much that we made this at my July camp.  We used the Pansy punch for the flower from Flower Shop and the washi tape from Gingham Garden.  So simple and fun to make.

A few days ago I posted a video on how to make this little tent.  It is so much fun to make and very easy.  Watch the video and if you have any problems, just contact me and I will walk you through it.  I used Gorgeous grunge stamp set to create the digital camo look on the tent, but you can use anything to decorate it.  I just thought this pattern would be good for girls as well as boys.

This set is called “Settin’ Sail” and I love it.  Goes great with the “By the Tide” and “By the Seashore” sets, not to mention the gorgeous DSP papers that we have this year.  I used the Chevron EF for the background.  Our polymer stamps (unlike many other brands) give a really nice image.  What I like about them is the ability to line up small letters or sentiments in small areas as noted in the sample below (Anchors Away and Thanks, Mate!).

This year’s RM House stamp is called “Tag It”.  A portion of the sales from this set is donated to the Ronald McDonald house every year.  Especially love this year’s set.

This is another card we made at July’s camp.  Love the new in-colors and this card shows them off so well.

Are you getting tired of Pistachio Pudding?  I know this was not one of my favs when the new in-colors came out but I have grown to really like it.  Love this set, ‘Wetlands’ too.

This is a clean and simple card that we did at Hostess club this past week.  I removed the gingham image from the wheel and added our Clear Mount Cling foam (pg 197) to create a stamp.  Easy Peasy.  Used Bermuda Bay for Card base, embellishments and ink.

This is another new in-color.  I used it with yet another in-color call Baked Brown Sugar.  I am so totally in love with these new colors.  So different from last years bold bright and vivid in-colors, which I also loved.  These new colors are so very trendy right now.

Than a good cup of coffee and good friends!  Love this stamp set.  Reminds me of being on the road, traveling to memory making places, with the radio turned up and singing away!  Love this Modern Medley DSP, don’t you?

Nothin like a good cup of coffee and a good friend!

This sentiment is from the YIPPEE SKIPPEE set.  I took the photo of this card with my iPhone and I apologize for the blurry image.  Trying to get used to using it in place of my camera.

This card is call a gate fold card.  It is a little labor intensive so I won’t be making many more of these for a while.  I used Cajun Craze ink on the composition specialty DSP and colored the clay buttons with vanilla craft ink.

I found these leaves at a store where they were selling chocolate molds and thought if you can make candy with them, why not clay?  Anyway, I was quite happy with the way they turned out.  How do you like them?  Just another opportunity to used our clay.  Now I am looking for others.
