It's been a while...

Sorry I haven't been around but hey, the beach was great...no that's not right. The beach was "GREAT!!!!" Ok here is sunrise at the beach. It only took me from Friday to Monday to relax but hey I got out of that real fast as I had to come home on tuesday. lol

Remember I have Christmas card classes sunday oct. 21st at 2:00pm and Friday oct. 26th at 6:30pm give me a call and I'll get you in.

And the winner is?????

For my Halloween punch card the winner is????????
Pat, you did it. The correct punches were (the grass was a
leaf that wasn't stampin up but I didn't have anything else
to use for that.) circle punch (which I gave to you if you
said 1 1/4 or 1 3/8)
tag punch, round tab, word window, key tag and the one
some got wrong was designer label.... yes you would use the
ticket punch but then you woul have to cut out a piece of
paper first but sorry ladies I didn't give you that one...
designer label punch was the one I used...
So Pat I'll be emailing you a choose of stamps for you to pick from.

Man have I arrived.... check this out

Twice in one week. Can you believe it... I made it again.

Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me.....lol

This is just great.

This was one of the punch cards I did, when I was doing the punch classes.

I have finally arrived....lol

This is my first card to show up on the Stampin' Up! website that only demonstrators can see... YIPPIE!

I didn't even see it at first it took Carol to point it out. But it's so cool when my mind connected back to my head.lol This was a very simple card I put together as a swap for convention.

I will post the winner tomorrow as to who won the stamp set and which set it will be. I've only had 6 people join in on this and only half of them are right...You are going to kick yourself when you see where you made your mistake. and no changing your answers now. So I'm not going to say who won and who didn't.

Happy Halloween .... a bit early

Ok can you tell which punches I used in this card?? What do you think, I need a Holiday card to submit to the State fair... Should I go with this one of do a Christmas one?

Ok, we'll have a game, within the next week how many people can get all the punches used in this card will be entered to win a free stamp set...Which stamp set, you might ask.... I've got a few left over from SAB, and hostess sets. I'll let you pick after you have won. Happy Haunting.

To 'Dye' For

First I have to say this all came from Heather at http://stampwithheather.typepad.com/stamp_with_heather/

She has some great ideas and totally amazing things on there.

To 'Dye' For
How fun is this.....glitter dying!!! Sometimes I'm a bit hesitant about a new technique or idea but this is SO easy and SO cool!!! Here goes:

Step #1: Gather your supplies. You'll need a little container (eyelet or brad containers work great!!!), a reinker, Dazzling Diamonds glitter and a tooth pick.

Step #2: Put one drop of reinker and 2 drops of water into your container and mix them together.

Step #3: Pour in about 1/2 a teaspoon of Dazzling Diamond glitter into the container. You can either put the lid on and shake or stir it up with a tooth pick. (*TIP* I rubbed my embossing buddy all over the container before I started so the glitter wouldn't completely stick to the sides)

Step #4: After you shake it up add about another teaspoon of glitter to the container and either shake or stir. It is important to get it all mixed in together. Because you are adding moisture ot the glitter it will become 'fluffy'. I left my container open in the sunlight for an afternoon to make it a bit less fluffy (the heat removed some of the moisture).

Now it's time to make your card! Here's how I use glitter on cards:

Step #1: Stamp your image. I used Stazon ink for this image so it wouldn't bleed when I apply the 2 way glue. Colour in the image using the 2 way glue pen whereever you would like the glitter to stick.

Step #2: Sprinkle (okay, if you're like me....pour) the glitter onto the image and shake it around a bit so it all gets covered. Pour extra glitter back into the container.

Step #3: Create your card using your glittered image. Try not to rub the glitter until the glue has completely set.

For this card, Heather used:
Stamp Sets: Warm Words, Bugs and Kisses
Paper: Whisper White, Basic Black, Silver
Have fun making your 48 varieties of glitter!!!
