Shopping Cart all fixed now!

Apparently PayPal went and changed some stuff behind the scenes without notifying anyone. Nice, right? Well, after a few hours of head banging (and not to any music), the problem is resolved. You *should* be able to checkout now without any further issues. Please email if you have a problem.

Thanks to my web guy, Kevin and Erik at Cartkeeper for working through this as quickly as possible.

Now...go shop! :)

Trick or Treat Hand

Remember this recipe for my Valentine’s Day project? Well, turns out it make a great recipe for Halloween too!

Today’s project uses that recipe and a plastic glove to make a scary Halloween project using the new Chicken Girl Design Happy Halloween set. I filled the glove with the popcorn (after it was cooled) and then closed off the glove with a piece of silver ribbon.

The images are stamped in Palette Noir and colored with Prismacolor pencils and gamsol. I used my Long Rectangle Nesties to make the tag part and stuck the fingers of the glove to it so it is “holding it” using i {stick} papers.

Cute and creepy all in one, right?

Thanks for stopping by today!

I Wanna Gobble You Up!

Isn’t this monster adorable?? I think so! And, I love how the gobble greeting has little bites taken out of some of the letters. How cute is that? (Answer: very.)

I made a little treat holder using Silly Monsters (colored with Prismacolor pencils and then glazed with Matte Accents) and my Large Square Nesties. The DP is the new Eerie paper from Basic Grey. It’s a great collection for Halloween and fall projects. I love the colors.

Here’s a side view and how I did it. Cut two pieces of cardstock using large square Nesties. Layer your focal piece (already stamped and colored) on your DP and then wrap with a piece of two-toned orange satin ribbon.

Next, layer that whole piece on one of your Nestie pieces. Use i {stick} papers to adhere a small prepackaged bag of candy corn (or whatever you want!) to the back piece. Then use more i {stick} papers to adhere the top to the bag and you’re done!

Pretty cute and simple! Thanks for stopping in!

Batty For You Candy Card

Hello!  Happy Monday!  We had a wonderful time at the Garlic Festival with perfect weather, good friends and, of course, lots of garlicky goodness!

Today’s card uses my new favorite product, Shake It pouches.  They are self adhesive so I stuck two of large circles together to make a little bubble and filled it with candy corn.  Then I used my Large Circle Nesties to cut out the perfect sized hole and then Small Scalloped Nesties to make the little ring from The Spider’s Web paper to accent it.  Then, I used these cutie felt bats (also self-adhesive) and placed them over the Shake It pouch.  The greeting is from the Happy Halloween set and stamped in Palette Noir.

Cute eh?  And, surprisingly easy!

Wanna see the haul?  Of course, there is lots of garlic but there is also:   maple peanut butter, fresh corn, jelly, a t-shirt, 7th generation herbalist made soap, dip mixes, soup mix, apple cider, garlic caramel.  Not seen here is the 32 pound pumpkin that we picked right off the vine.

Thanks for stopping by today!  I realized the other day that I have posted a post every single day this month so far.  Phew!  What a blogging whirlwind that has been!  See you tomorrow!

Happy Harvest: Sunflower thanks

I know I’ve already said this, but really, I mean it…I {heart} Tracy’s Happy Harvest set and I’ve been loving using it for thank you cards. The greeting is stamped in Palette Landscape and the sunflowers are stamped in Palette Cognac. I colored the sunflowers with Prismacolor pencils and gamsol. I dabbed some Stardust Stickles over the centers of the ones I popped up on dimensionals.

Then I outlined the shape of my card with my Chocolate Spica to add just a little more sparkle. I wasn’t sure if I liked all the white open space in the middle but I think I like the clean look of it. Do you?

Thanks for stopping by!

WCS99 – Happy Holidays

I had some time to play along with Beate’s Weekend Sketch Challenge.  Yay!  You can’t see it from the picture but this is a gate card and opens up from the piece of designer paper.

I used this cutie little reindeer from the Jolly Christmas set, stamped in Palette Burnt Umber and colored with OMS and Prismacolor pencils.  He’s got a small gem for his nose.  I created the circle with my Nesties.

Then I took a small piece from MME Colorful Christmas and used my long rectangle Nesties to create the scalloped edge.  I used my A2 Snowflake embossing folder to emboss my card flaps and then tied a piece of this awesome polka dot ribbon around the bottom flap.  Lastly I used my Ribbon Tags Trio to make a tag (I cut off the right side) and attached it with a small scrap of gold metallic string.  The greeting is stamped with Palette Claret.

Tada!  That’s it!  Thanks for stopping by today!  We’re off to the Garlic Festival!
