For the Love of all things Chocolate!

Here are two candy bar wrappers I decorated with cardstock and paper. The larger one with just the hat & face is for a jumbo chocolate bar. For the teenagers in our family Christmas gifts - they wanted cold, hard cash! So this year instead of a card with the money in it I decorated up their favorite chocolate bar in tucked the money on the inside of the scarf. I do not think the appreciated the work that went into it. LOL Some day they will get it. ***giggle***

So for candy bar one - this is a regular hershey bar. I used Cold Play, Brocade blue, Purely Pomegranite, basic Black, Chocolate Chip and Only Orange ink. The punches used were corner rounders and the word window for the graham crackers...

Candy Bar two - I used the Soft Sky DP, Whisper White, basic Black, and Only orange. I also used the Scallop punch, half inch circle and scissors.

I got the idea from my friend Debbie A. for the jumbo candy bar. She was making these in December and I cased her. If I remember correctly, she was casing someone else, but couldn't remember who. Thank you for the inspiration Debbie and who ever inspired her! :)

Enjoy!

Office Accoutrement- The EYES have it

You know what? I do not remember when the last time I used eyelets is - well, the small ones anyways...

This challenge was to use eyelets- anywhere, anyhow - so this was what I did...I pulled out my OLD stash of eyelets and used them.

This was a card that has been in my head for awhile...I have lots of them, they float around in there -I did stamp the All in a Row crooked, only because I completed the card and then realized it needed something else and I decided it was the stitching. LOL

Here are the supplies I used, all SU:

Stamp Sets: Office Accoutrement, Take a Number Wheel, Define Your Life, All In a Row

Ink Pads & Cardstock: So Saffron, Rose Red, Elegant Eggplant, Whisper White

Accessories: Tab punch, 1 1/4 & 1 3/8 circle punch, 1/8 punch, gold eyelets, Tool Kit, Dimensionals

I am beginning to think that All in a Row isn't a stamp set but an EMBELLISHMENT! LOL

Thank you for looking!

Emboss Resist -Summer By The Sea

I water colored this image about a year ago and it didn't work for my project I was creating at that time. So it has sat in my "To do something with" Box since then. When I saw the Resisting Fall Challenge on Splitcoast, I immediately thought of this image. I embossed Clear Embossing Powder on Pale Plum cardstock. Then I sponged Perfect Plum on the portion that was not embossed.

Thanks for looking!

The Mojo was Flowing....

Have you ever had a day where everything was just clicking along? I had a FUN day of stamping today and went through my box of scraps - and was able to use some odds and end pieces that have been lying around for awhile. I have a BIG box of scraps.

This was a card that I made for the VSN challenge today - this was the Make like a Tree and Leave challenge - it had to have something to do with leaving -

This card I used LOTS of stamps on: The PSX stamp was my friend Danita's stamp, I borrowed from her while I was over at her house a few weeks ago. The rest was Stampin' Up! - I used Canvas in Elegant Eggplant, French Flair in Always Artichoke, With gratitude, the leaves stamp in So saffron ink on So Saffron cardstock. The Floral BG was used in Always Artichoke and on Always Artichoke cardstock. I used my circle cutter to make a partial circle on Artichoke and Eggplant cs. The words were from my computer and my Bible!

Have a great night!
