I have seen something like this before but I just found it again and thought I would share. This is a cool website to help you choose colors and it is fun to play with! Check it out here.

Kit Kat Mummy's

My son has a preschool Halloween party this week and all the kids are bringing treats for the halloween game. I couldn't resist making something cute mostly because his teacher loves everything I make and partly because I like to be the cool mom, just kidding. It was fun to see him so excited about them. I made these at night while he slept so I showed them to him when he woke up, I wish I got a picture of his smile. I know the kids won't appreciate them but hopefully a couple of the mom's will save it from the garbage :) I saw these cute candy bar holders here and also here and I put it in my "I need to make this" folder. I really think that this is one of the first times I have used creamy caramel, (yeah I know I get into a color rut a lot, have you seen too much of old olive and bashful blue yet?? one of my club girls even was brave enough to mention that she sees a lot of the old olive in our projects, I will try to be better I promise :) I don't even own the creamy caramel stamp pad technically (my sisters is at my house cause she doesn't think she will use it without me (she is just like my mom, oh well), thanks for sharing Kristi!!) but it was one of the funnest halloween things I have made and I plan on using this color again!!

Decor Elements and Class to Go!

Ok this is definitely my favorite. I posted more pictures of my frame here when I couldn't decide which background was my favorite but I finally found it. I love how the paper looks with the chocolate decor elements and the matching ribbon is so cute. The greatest thing is that I can change the background and ribbon anytime. I love looking at this sitting on my shelf in my stamp room. This is one of the projects that I am giving to my hostesses this year and they love it (and are starting to expect it)!
If you would like me to make one of these for you, contact me and we can set up a workshop. If you don't live in the Salt Lake area I would be happy to ship one to you for $10. This includes the frame, any Classic letter of your choice from the decor elements brochure, (you will receive both a upper and lowercase letter) and you have your choice between Chocolate and White. You will also receive 2 5x7 sheets of DSP and some matching ribbon.

3 spring cards

Here are some spring cards that I absolutely love, I took pictures of these at Jill's downline meeting. I have no idea who made these to credit but I just know I didn't make them :) to see my other spring cards and instructions how to make them click here.

Thanksgiving

I had a workshop today and I always like to demonstrate a scrapbook page, this time I stamped the title and put most of it together before the workshop. All I demonstrated was the turkey feathers and of course dotto, I love dotto!!! It was fun, we had a small group so I let everyone punch a scallop circle and learn to fold the turkey feathers. We (all the demonstrators) learned how to do this awesome fold from our monthly magazine Stampin' Success. Stampin' Up! has great resources for us. Does this layout look familiar??

Door prizes

These are some fun door prizes that I gave away at my class last night. I filled the celo bag with ribbon and stamped images from the Say it with Scallops stamp set. Instead of a bag topper, I just stuck a piece of cardstock inside and punched through it all and Tied it with a ribbon.

Birthday Party

Tonight I helped my friend and her daughter make birthday party invitations. They are so trusting, I just told them what we would make and they didn't get to see the finished product until after we stamped them, I didn't even make one in advance! Well from experience everyone loves these cards so I knew they would too. The birthday girl actually stamped all of the presents and helped to put them together. I was really impressed. We couldn't decide on a color so we made a few of both blue and pink. Which color do you like the best?

I know you have seen a bunch of these on my blog lately so I will try to not post any more for a while :)

Just Jawing

My friend Tia gave me this awesome card at our last demo meeting! Mr Skull (I think that is what she called him) is from the Just Jawing stamp set. This is one of the stamp sets that hostesses can earn for free between now and November 30th. Would you like to know the other stamp sets that you could earn free right now?
