Halloween In January

Just a quick one today.  And I'm not off my rocker (well not anymore than usual).  This post is because my craft room was in storage for the bulk of last year and I'm becoming reacquainted with everything, so when my friend Cindy came over yesterday with all her Stampin Up goodies and a box of Halloween stuff.... well I couldn't resist.  COME ON.... HALLOWEEN?!?  You KNOW I couldn't!!!!

So have you guys seen the Stampin Up Chalk Talk die set?  Isn't it INCREDIBLE????  I jumped on Pinterest to see what people were doing with that set and here's what I came up with (see how I took complete credit for someone else's design ideas.... just kidding, you can check out the designer's creation HERE, this is just my interpretation):


Click on the link above to see how to make Nicole's little Halloween goodie box.  For mine I used Cindy's pre-embossed web card that she challenged me to do something with (I hope she wasn't expecting a completed card)... hehehehe....


I punched out three tags from the Chalk Talk die set, inked the edges with memento black tuxedo and stamped my Halloween sentiment from Tickled Pink Stamp's Halloween Sentiments that I splatter stamped using Close To My Heart's You Rock splatter stamp in memento's lady bug.  I threw on a black ribbon and a Jolee's Boutique dimensional glitter spider and called it GREAT!

Happy Halloween Everybody!!!  And thank you Cindy for hanging out with me and getting my juices flowing again.  I HAD A BLAST!!!!

Past 7 Days....

The Old Clunker

A few years back I received a Creative Zen Micro Photo for Christmas. It was wonderful! The fact that I could finally carry around all my music in a super small (or I thought at the time)2.25" x 3.5" music player was sheer freedom from carrying around that old, large, portable cd player and I won't even go into the tons of music cds that also had to go along for the ride. Ok... so I'll mention them briefly, hahahahaha! And I was also surprised by how much lighter this music player was. At 5.5 oz., wearing it fashionably on an armstrap to the gym put me in the leagues with the top fitness buffs. Then something shifted... I was no longer hip, or in, or cool anymore. Suddenly everything shrunk and my music player was now a gigantic dinosaur! What the heck?!? Now everyone was sporting music players that were as big as the face of a watch and were a million times lighter than mine. All of a sudden I was back in the 7th grade trying to convince my mom to buy me the latest

MY VERY FIRST CRICUT CARTRIDGE GIVE AWAY!

Ok ... so the time has come. I've got some BRAND NEW, NEVER BEEN USED, STILL IN THE PLASTIC Cricut Cartridges to give away over the next couple of months and it starts with one of my ALL-TIME FAVORITES...... Hannah Montana! YAY! I LOVE this cartridge! It's got the most beautiful guitar images along with musical notes and FIVE fonts! I used the regular font and the rock star font to create my Father's Day card this year (see above). I also used the Hannah Montana cart (see below) to create a beautiful butterfly (FREE Gypsy cut file HERE ), and am currently working on a project using the gorgeous solitaire diamond. There's a rose and lips and decorative hearts, even a Pegasus ! There's just so much on this cartridge.... I use it a lot! To call this a "font" cartridge is terribly misleading. It's been a long time favorite and now I'm THRILLED to be able to give it away to one of my awesome readers! So here's how to win: Become one of my follower
