Saw this on a video on Stampin Connection (website for Demonstrators only), and just had to try it. It is done with our refills, water spritzers, and the round Mr Coffee type filter. It was so much fun to see the colors blend. Let me know if you want a class on this technique.

We made these at my camps and clubs this month. Running this little velum bag through the Big shot with the embossing folder really sets this off. Don’t you agree? What child (or adult for that matter) wouldn’t want to receive this filled with lots of treats?

This card makes me think of Fall. I always hate to see Fall come as that means Winter is close behind. For those of you that know me, you know I love it HOT and that I hate to see the summer end. Although, based on how warm it has been and we are still running air, maybe that means we are going to have a longer summer and a shorter winter. One can only hope!

We all received this stamp set free from the Chattanooga Regional along with the Christmas Simply Stampin Kit in the Holiday catalog. It sure pays to be a demo.
To get a straight line for the fabric bow, I tore the ribbon (long side) instead of cutting with a scissors. Little trick my Mama taught me years ago.

I am writing this on the 15th of the month (I must schedule these postings so that they are there for you on a daily basis). Since I probably won’t get to post any thing of mine until I get back and get myself in a creative mood. I am posting this scrapbook page designed by Maureen (Mo). Hope you like it as much as I do!
I absolutely love the Ghoulish Googlies Designer Kit that is offered in the Holiday catalog (page 27). They are offering the stamp set and the kit for 15% off if you bundle them together. What an awesome deal! Oh…..the possibilities are endless what you can do with them.

Well today I am at the SU regional in TN, hopefully learning all new techniques and getting all pumped up with the rest of the Demos that will be there. My daughters, Amy & Maureen will be there with me (they are both demos) and we are going to have a blast! I sure hope Shelly is there so we can all get our picture taken with her. Amy and I had our picture taken with her at the regional in Charleston a few years back, and Mo and I with Shelly at the Charlotte one last year. I am hoping we can all have our picture with her together at this one. Shelly is so Awesome and so down to earth, you would never guess that she is the owner of this company.
Needed to slip in another Halloween card for you. I am hoping to get lots of swaps at Regional to share with y’all!

Didn’t realize when I selected these two sets that they both started with the word “Perfectly”. LOL I don’t know which I like better, the DSP or the stamp set. Gorgeous paper and the stamp set is so versatile. I hope SU decides to hold the stamp set over to the new catalog next year, especially because of the framelits that go so well with every stamp in the set.

For this card I used several of our embellishments from the new Holiday catalog. Did you notice how I stamp the ribbon with one of the stamps in this set? I also love the new ribbon slides which, btw, I used on card stock and not ribbon. I sanded the Cordinations card stock with the sanding block to make the embossed background pop. So many possiblilites….

I love, love, love this designer series paper. I can honestly say that every side is beautiful and useable. What I mean by that, is usually in each DSP packet, I can always find at least one side that I never use because it doesn’t suit my taste. However, all the patterns in this packet are wonderful.
