Paper Pumpkin Kit HALF OFF!!!

Ok so I have to be honest.  I was a paper pumpkin subscriber and I dropped 

my subscription...the kits just weren't great.  Stampin' Up! always has amazing quality and these kits just didn't seem to have it.  

So I emailed...

(and I am sure I was not the only one) 

But wow they listened and REALLY stepped up the kits.  This is my third month back on and I am very happy with everything I got so far!   

Check out the last two months...

 This is Julys kit!  Enough to make 6 boxes, 6 cards and envelopes, an entire roll of satin ribbon, white bakers twine a stamp set with 10 stamps in it a ton of silver stars, hearts and stickers

This is Junes kit!  24 pinwheels, 24 clear bags, 24 paper straws, a bunch of large brads, paper clips, grey bakers twine, a stamp set of 3 stamps, a stamp spot, banners and glue dots.

 And here is a sneak peak of what is to come...

This is Septembers kit, burlap bags(polka dot and striped), colored clothes pins(tangelo twist and blackberry bliss)Black bakers twine, orange sequins, a bunch of tags spooky stickers, a stamp spot and an adorable stamp set!!!

Roommate gift...#2

So yesterday I showed you the cute mugs I drew on.  Today you get to see what is inside!  

 I made each of my roommates this all natural Coffee Salt scrub.  I love this stuff, and personally use it all the time.  Then added some Coffee Candy on top. 

 Added one of these cute little tags

and had the perfect Roommate gift!

Roommate Gifts

I had so much fun making my roommate gifts this year!  I took a bunch of pictures, so hope you like them!

 Here is the from and inside of Jen and Sarah's mugs

 and the front and inside of Devin and my Mom's mug

 Here is the group picture.  I used oil base Sharpies and baked them after I was done drawing.

 I also made one for myself!

 With a little heart inside!

Be sure to check in tomorrow to see what I put in them and how I decorated them!

Secret Gift Box & Card! at Craft Project Central

Make this gift box with secret boxes inside to anyone for any occasions, a birthday or a wedding. It can hold embellishments, jewelry, and/or candy. It also looks great on a desk holding office supplies. It is very easy to make and you don’t need a lot of craft supplies. You can leave it simple or add different embellishments to suit your style. Great for a stamp camp, or as a class project.

This great project was created by Monika Davis, check out her blog at www.stampnmad.typepad.com.

Pocket Card

There is something about this card that makes me happy.  I am not sure if it's the colors or the set, or maybe both:)  

 This is a fun twist on a traditional card, since the other part is a pock and you pull out the inner piece.  This is great to hide a gift card in or a special message!

Thanks for stoping by!

Flip-card

I have to say I am really sorry about my lack of posting.  I had every intention to post everything for the days I was at convention, and well it just didn't.  So I have a bit of catching up to do:)  The good news is I have a TON to post!

So here is one of the cards I did at my last advanced Cards ad Cocktails.  I love this die from stamping' up!It makes these cards SO MUCH EASIER to make!  Thanks for stopping by!!
