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.

What I Know... There's A REALLY Big Challenge!!!

Now I don't claim to know it all (pretty close though... JK!), but there are some things I just KNOW!!! 1. I know there are 365 days in a calendar year. 2. I know I'll never dance naked for a full moon. AND 3. Anything having to do with "crazy", "mental" or "manic" draws me like a moth to a flame. I credit #3 to my ex-husband and have decided that "crazy" is a pretty fun way to be. I won't make this a "preachy" post, but suffice it to say that in reality I am full of Love, Power and a Sound Mind. But because that is true, I take "crazy" to a really fun level and appreciate anyone else who does the same! We're all a bit crazy in one way or another and quite frankly, I think that is what separates US from the BORING!!! In the spirit of Halloween and all that is crazy and manic, here is today's fun Halloween project. I hope no one is sick of that MS Drippy Goo punch yet, because I'm no where near b...
