Halloweenie Friends going BANANAS!

Aren't these little buddies ADORABLE???? I was inspired by Cryth over on Splitcoast Stampers. These little cuties are quick and easy to make, and use up all those little scraps of paper ya have left over. A witch is next on my list to try to make, she'll probably look a lot like franny k. stein, but with a triangular hat. 2 Red Bananas posted a "box, bags, or wrapping" challenge this week, so I decided it was time to finally sit down and punch these lil' babies out!

How to make these? SU! scallop punch, googlie eyes, and markers-- that's it! What's in the middle? A chocolate coin! Oh, and I used a glue dot to adhere a punched-out scallop circle to each side of the chocolate coin. It took me all of 30 minutes to create 21 of my Halloweenie friends this morning, and that includes glue-drying time!

SSW 15

I was FINALLY able to get the design to work out in a way to make me happy for SSW 15. I love the golds, reds, and purples on this card, so autumn like! It is difficult to see in the picture, but each page of DP has a printed pattern on it. The purple is covered in a diamond pattern and the gold has falling leaves on it. i SO LOVE this card!

Isn't this cute? I took a 6" "Juicy Apple" red pillar candle that I purchased at Michael's for 20 cents on clearance, dressed it up, and VIOLA~ a cute little giftie for my DD's preschool teachers, or even my co-workers for the holidays. And at only 20 cents each, you know I cleared all of them off the shelf at Michaels!

I cut a piece of brown cardstock in the shape of a leaf, used a stylus to add vein details to the leaf and curl it a bit. Attached to the wax candle with a small brad, which was pushed directly into the candle. With the wick standing straight up, it resembles a stem. Around the bottom I adhered stickers letters (rub-ons work too!) to spell out Apples {4} Teacher.

Trick or Treat~

... Smell my feet, Gimme something good to eat! c'mon, you know you have said that once or twice in your life. ;) This card was created using the sketch posted on 2 Red Bananas last Sunday, Sept. 13. I am in the autumn mood, bring on the ghosts & goblins, pumpkins and candies! The cool crisp night and warm sunny days are my favorite part of autumn.

Is it Friday yet?????

Oh, man! This has been a CRAZY week-- I never thought Friday would come, and now that it is finally here, I cannot believe how little I got done this week. It's a long weekend for me, no school on Monday or Tuesday for the Delaware County Fair. YEAH! Sleeping in, relaxing and crafting, who knows what the weekend will bring for me. I will post again, probably Saturday night, with a card.

Keeping it C-A-S!

I am really liking the CAS style of cards, it is funny, I LOVE the CAS, but also LOVE the lots o' layers look. I go from one extreme to the other! Check out the CAS challenge thread over on Splitcoast!

a litle snail mail for a friend...

These challenges came along at the PERFECT time, as I need to send this card out in the mail on Tuesday. 2 Red Bananas wanted to see dots and stripes, Pile It On is all about birthdays, and CPS posted the sketch this week. I love the size of this card, 4 x9, to fit into business-sized envelopes!
