And So It Begins


Guess what I got in the mail!!!  The Stampin Up 2014 Holiday Catalog!!!!  And to celebrate the pre-holiday ordering season, my demonstrator gave me some stamped images to play with.  Of all of them, the Happy Hanukkah stamp JUMPED OUT AT ME!   I'll give you three guesses why.... isn't this SPOOKILY DELICIOUS?!?

I IMMEDIATELY thought of Halloween when I saw this GORGEOUS candelabra and requested it be stamped without the "Happy Hanukkah" sentiment as it is all one stamp.  The Hanukkah example in the catalog is really very beautiful, but this sort of SCREAMS Halloween to me.  I'll give you two more guesses what will be on my next Stampin Up order.... LOL!

And so it begins!  This is my first Halloween project this year and my blood is boiling with excitement for the upcoming Halloween season. Gonna have to brew some coffee.... I'm gonna be inking up some more Halloween fun!  MAN!  I need to get moving on my costume!!!!

Paper Used:  Stampin Up Very Vanilla, Black and Orange from the scrap pile
Ink:  Jet Black Staz-on, Stampin Up Soft Suede
Stamps: Waltzing Mouse Hocus Pocus, Stampin Up Happy Hanukkah
Misc:  My Mind's Eye Lush Orange Bling, White Doily, Stampin Up Edgelit and Lacy Brocade embossing folder.

Hi
The Chanukah Menorah is a religious symbol so some people may be offended by using it this way. Just a hint. No offense intended.

I received the above comment and felt the need to go ahead and allow the comment to post. I IN NO WAY meant to offend my Jewish friends. If I offended in any way I am sorry. Had it been a real menorah, I promise, I would not have knowingly altered it for the holiday of Halloween. My posts are never meant to offend.

If you're just joining us and need to start the hop from the beginning, you're gonna want to head over to our lovely Hop Hostess Patricia's blog to start the fun here on our VERY IMPORTANT Inking Pink Blog Hop! Here's to Breast Cancer Awareness!!! My project for this hop is a reminder card..."Remember your checkups!" What a wonderful way to say "I love you" to a dear friend or family member. Now you may not be able to see it in the pic above, but I altered The Greeting Farm's Ebony so that her tee shirt reads, "Say YES to Mammograms!" So, today I wanted to share HOW I added the words to her tee. First I printed the words as small as I could and still be able to read the message using my laser printer onto the paper that I would be using to color in my im...
