Birthdays in the Bag!

Hello Everyone,  I know it's been awhile, but the craft fair is over and things will get back to normal. I'm playing catch up really bad today as this is Monday and I just got home last night, but I wanted to share with you my top seller. I sold everyone of these the first day and even had a lady come the second day to get one and I was out. :( Sad for her but good to know I came up with a good one, right?!  Okay well I was inspired from the stamp set (Birthday Bakery Level 1 hostess) and it all just went from  there. You can get it free with a workshop total of $150.00 or more call or email me today to set up your workshop. I'm sorry for the not so great photo as I forgot to take one before I left home so I got this one before it sold. This is a little tea light I covered with DSP and then added a leftover old note card that will hold a gift card a small bag doctored up with some more DSP to match and tag, ribbon and done, I sold these for $5.00 and could have had 50 and and sold them all....

 

BOO!!!!!!!!

Well, I'm still here just busy with craft fair stuff and other things, more on that at the end... :) Well here is a little something I made to share, photo is from my phone so it's not the usual good quality...  But I think you will get the idea...

cute huh!!!  Well it will sell for $12.00 so would you buy it for that??? I used a retired stamp set twick or tweet but it was perfect for this one. I made one pumpkin paper and one old DSP Plum perfect color..  The frames came from Target for around 2.50 for the 3 in one pack... Inspired from Dianna Gibbs (Thanks girlie!)  Well on to the other stuff, first August has gotten away from me with this craft fair, I'm supposed to have already sent info about the retreat that is supposed to be next month. YIKES!!!!  I'll send out a more detailed email to you all within the next day... It's official I'm a carboholic!!!!!!! Yep for sure...  So you all know Iwent to West Palm Beach the end of last month. I got back on August 3rd. and I started the edit diet (my words) but really kinda following the GI diet... And my first weigh in borrowed the neighbors scale (thanks Betty) I had lost 4 lbs.. wooohooo... Go Jill, mostly just cutting out carbs..  Well Thursday's are my weigh date, because you really should only do it once a week. but Igot on the scale this morning and it was another 4lbs.. Well, GO JILL!!!!  So tomorrow is the official weigh in day so I'm hoping it stays at 4 but will report more later.. First few days were hard (very hard) I had some major wants, but it's getting better, not doing to much exercising yet, gonna start after I'm through with this craft fair.. :) No more stress than is needed at once.. Okay well that's it for me today, enjoy your day and see you soon.

Wrinkle Ribbon by Jill

Well today I did a bunch of Wrinkle Ribbon for the craft fair, and it is so cool. My picture to share is not the best but I promise to follow up in  a day or two with some more photos...  These are all dyed by hand (some variations on the ribbon as with any dye some colors more than others) by me and wrinkled. You can use this ribbon  to put on cards, altered projects, scrapbook pages and many more things. It's AWESOME!!!! If you are interested let me know. It is $3.00 a bundle (3 yards per bundle) and $2.00 for shipping if your not local and will be shipped in a padded envelope. Take a look and let me know what you think.

Thanks for stopping by today. Enjoy!  

Bats!!!! Eeeekkkkk!!!

Well actually this one is cute, I think what do you think???  Okay so here's a quick Halloween mini card... I copied right out of the catalog but I made mine a 3X3 card with a bat above it for the photo....  cute huh!!! Actually that's the owl once again with the feet cut off, yep! You see then the 1 3/4" circle with a scallop circle bottom piece... Easy... then two white eyes and I'm done!  I might add him to his own card tomorrow...  Come back and see. It's late and I'm setting this for auto post in the morning or later today.. :)  So later... Thanks for visiting today hope you liked my little treat today. See you soon.

I have to share this little funny with you.... I was on face-book the other night and you know how there are always these things listed on the sides, well something caught my eye so I clicked on it and well long story short it was a face-book for a foreign person (not sure) but they must raise hedgehogs or they live somewhere that they are wild all over the place they had tons of photos and I've got a friend who like hedgehogs, so I had to copy a few photos to share with her, but this one is too funny....  I think it's just fang-tastic.... LOL!!!!

Vampire hedgehog!!!! LOL!!!!! Okay that's it for me... 

OSW~ One Sheet Wonder

Well here you go... This is a little something I wanted to share. Making a few of these little goodies and thought , Hey! I need to share a few photos with you all. So here we go...  This project is made with a 6X6 page protector a little cardstock, ribbon, adhesive and envelopes and you have a quick gift! Also sorry for the poor lighting on photos but it was LATE~~~

First up, how I decided on colors to use... Got the colors right from the NEW COLOR COACH (great item) See.....

Second is the one sheet I ramdomly stamped all over (1 sheet of 8 1/2" X 11) the whisper white cardstock.

After I stamped it the way I wanted, I cut it up into 2" strips then down to 2" X 4 1/4" strips, cut some Pumpkin Pie to layer with them and made some quick little note cards...  see next few photos...

Cards and envelopes to match... Then they all go right in the little case that is hanging above the cards here in this photo.....

 
I did a total of 4 cards and envelopes for each set...  would make a great thank you gift for someone or a teacher gift, baby shower with thank you notes for the new mom to give to people who sent/gave gifts, etc.... Lots of things..... Okay so this is it for today. I'll be back tomorrow with some little ideas using the owl punch mabe even a Halloween card?? Maybe we'll have to see what I come up with.  Thanks for stopping by see you soon.  Enjoy!

Not the normal Christmas Colors.....

Well, again needing to get a little creative so here is what I came up with.... I took a survey and we had a vote on the fact that from now until December the ladies who do the card kits wanted a Christmas card including in the designs, so here we are for this month..... I also have to say I was shocked it was 10-1 for the Christmas cards to start now... wooohooo so majority wins...  This is a quick post cause I gotta get back to it.. Hope to have something ready to post for tomorrow...

colors are Elegant Eggplant, Perfect Plum, Melon Mambo.... and  I used the color spritzer tool (with E.Eggplant marker) on page 195 in the main catalog...  

i miss you!!!!!!!

Yes, I know, I know, I'm behind on my blogging.... Well let me begin with Wooohooo the winner is JANET ALEXANDER...... your stuff was mailed out today... you should have the owls in two days... He was one of the people who did a comment for the owls and when I returned home from my trip to WEST PALM BEACH I put all the names on paper and put in a basket and let Joey draw the winner...  Thanks to everyone who comment and sorry you couldn't all win but maybe next time... :)  Okay so I got back and had to clean, do laundry and general all the stuff not done for a week...UGH!!!!  Then I had to finish the prepping for August card kits and they went postal today... wooohooo and I'm still doing craft fair items and need to work on new arrivals for September so I'm a busy camper here in my stamp room and sadly the blog has taken a back seat for the last week, I'll do a another post tomorrow and hopefully have more things to post and share on Wednesday so keep checking back... Alright on to the card today. Well as it goes when you are working away and using major supplies of paper you end up having to get creative with colors and use the color coach...so today my card is Garden Green and Tangerine Tango.. yep that's correct... so here we go... Also a little Pear Pizzazz.. so let me know... Oh yeah and guess who made another appearance in todays card?? Anyone guess??? Whooo ???

So here he is on the inside looking all cute, huh! Well thanks for stopping by and see you tomorrow....

   

One more note pad

different color... Had to share one more... Put a smaller pen in the little box holder for a different look not sure if this is the one that will stay but we'll see... :) Okay so I'm do home tomorrow evening (about 10pm)  and not to sure how this week will pan out, but hey I'll keep you posted... so check back..... And I'll announce the winner of the owl blog candy Wednesday morning, so you could be a winner.... :) Did you make a comment? If not still time today, hurry up!!! Thanks for stopping by... Enjoy!

 

Note pad and pen

Okay so here is another item I'm making for that craft fair that is fast approaching! So I wanted to make something different and I've seen several versions of this idea and I just tweaked to work for myself... I've had these mini legal pad note pads forever, and was gonna do a different thing but this was a better/cuter idea I thought so I made my own version to work for me... Okay so don;t even say it... I know, I should have a black pen, but all I had was blue so ignore that small eye sore... :)  Oh and that is one of the new antique brads in the middle of the ribbon... Neat huh!

Okay so thanks for stopping by and enjoy!
