Cool Flowers Happy Birthday MOM!

We sent this bouquet to my Mom for her Birthday last week, she loved it! Joel took a pic so I could see them after she arranged them. Their the Martha Stewart Halloween Flowers. How cool is that black vase with the orange and black flowers? Soooo Pretty! And so appropriate for today! Happy Halloweeen!

Lots of birthday wishes this week. I would wish Renee a HB but she will have to wait and have a belated b-day when she comes back from Disney World. Life is rough! LOL

Coming soon some Chocolatey Witch hats I made for Em's class today! WOO!

Happy Birthday To You

Happy Birthday Dianne! Hope your having a great day!

More Bootiful Signage

HA! Ok this one has more glitter however this time ot antique art glass. I did use my glue stamp pad though! WOO love this little spot of brilliance! I stamped everything with glue and then used Acid Green Glitter or Orange Glitter! How fun is that! You know I haven't left my house in days without a bit of sparkle on me. My children and my DH haven't either which I'm sure they would love to share their thoughts on that at a later time! LOL The ribbon is Doodlebug and the big Orange ribbon is somethin gI found at a garage sale gotta love that! I need black rafia tails or something definately something missing under the big bows!

Nevermore!

Ok well maybe not really NEVERMORE. I created these letters to hang on my mirror with my spooky crow. I've been making some handmade Halloween decorations this week inspired by Targets selection of glittered items. Finally dug into my glass glitter collection! Dianne helped coming up with words and phrases! Dave loved it since he just learned each line of this for an event! Downside I have a piece of glass glitter stuck in my finger tip waiting for it to work itself out! The price of crafting I suppose!

A little card made of Scraps

So I was playing around with some scraps the other day and...........got this!

Scallop around the chicken is made with the negative of a punch, ink and a sponge dauber. The background is from misting my big paisly background stamp to clean it! I then stamped it on several pieces of cardstock.

So I've been Creating and Playing A Lot Lately

Not just cards but layouts and projects as well. First let me start with the Challenge of using spray paint.

I created the Ride portion of the title with spray paint over L'il Davis stickers. First Dark Brown then a spritz of silver to give it some dimension! Then just pull up the stickers and voila!

This layout is part of my DT stuff this month at Croppers Cottage we used Trace Industries products. Here the patterned paper down the side is actually patterned canvas! And you have to check out the super cool Galvanized Paper! Their Chippers(chipboard) is actually mat board and has super clean edges and comes in 12" sizes! Ok I could go on and on! You get the idea! Way cool stuff!

Last Card for today I swear!

This is it! This one is CASED however I changed the colors and elimnated a few details since everyone has to make 2 of every card and I don't think they are bringing their sleeping bags???LOL!

Camp Card 4

Ok I'm almost done. I got a little crazy with the dauber and the baby wipe ink on the edges of this one. When you do it go a little lighter around the edges of the actual card. I might still add glitter what do you think?

Very Fall/Halloween Themed! Gotta Love it! Everyone had a great time with the Soot Technique and the matchbook/coupon book gift. And then there were the M&M's most everyone ate them out of their goodie bags before they could seal them up. Ooops! I should have bought lots more!
