Owls!

Look at the cute owls my friend, and downline, Erin Anderson made.  She makes very cute boxes and other favors.  The heads of the owls is the Sizzix Big Shot Top Note die.  Then she used some of the Stampin'Up! Circle Punches for eyes, and Stampin'Up! Heart Punches for the nose and feet.  A Scallop Oval Punch is on the front chest of each Owl.  I just love punch art, so many cute ideas out there.  This one would be great for some treats for anyone.

You can order all these supplies from Stampin'Up!  CLICK HERE to shop online through my website.  Contact me for questions, and to place orders any time.

Fall Leaves

I love all the changing leaves in the Fall.  Growing up in AZ meant not seeing much as far as the changing leaves go, but it did mean it was finally getting a little cooler outside!  I love living in Colorado so I can see the leaves change every year now.  The Maple tree in my front yard is starting to change, the aspens should be changing here soon.

We went for a drive Sunday up to the mountains to see the changing leaves.  It was a nice drive up through Morrison to Evergreen.  The lake was beautiful!  It made us wish we had a canoe to go out on the lake for a while.  Doesn't that sound nice to just relax out on the lake?

We love to go look at the leaves every year, this may not have been the best year for us as far as what we saw, but it was still fun.  Here are a few pictures of the fall leaves from our drive.  It makes me want to get out my French Foliage stamp set and make some more fall cards and scrapbook too.

Here is a great page showing some beautiful fall leaves.
Just think of all the fun you can have using Day of Gratitude and French Foliage stamps with your own fall photos!  Contact me to order these or any other great stamps or ORDER HERE online.

Here are some more pictures of the leaves.  We saw lots of yellow aspens, but guess we would need to go farther to see the orange and reds that I love.  These pictures are up past the lake at Evergreen, off Upper Bear.  Then we took another road and found this great walking/hiking area near Mt. Evans.  

We even drove by the Outdoor Lab area where Jeffco students can spend a week and learn all about the outdoors.  The 6th graders at my daughters school will be going next week.  This was great for us to see since our daughter will be going in 2 years.   It was pretty up here, but looks very dry.  

Enjoy!

Candy Wrapper Bats Kit

Did you see these cute bats you can make using the Candy Wrapper die?
My friend Erin made a bat for me and I am hooked.  I just love how easy they are, and how cute.  I think they will be a big hit at my daughter's Halloween party at school!

I made them in gray and black, with teeth and without.  Hmm, which is your favorite?  For the gray bat I used silver brads instead of twisting the card stock to close.  I love this die, with all the score marks you can just push and twist to get them to stay closed for the bat wings and the treats stay inside.

Buy the kit to make your own bats!

Fall Cards

Here are the cards from my last class, hope you all enjoy!

Here are all 3 cards, you might remember the leaf card on the right from an earlier posting, September 10, 2010.

Paisley Prints is a fun stamp set to use, I used the matching wheel, Paisley Party with Versamark on the rectangles in the background too.  The Rock-n-Roll technique was perfect with the leaves and pumpkins to make it pop. 

Colors used:  Chocolate Chip, Cajun Craze, So Saffron, Garden Green, Peach Parfait and Very Vanilla.

I saw a card at convention with a similar idea and this is what I came up with.

This card is from my friend Crista, I just loved getting this in our demonstrator swap, so I used it for the class.  For the class I used Crumb Cake and Early Espresso, and smooched it with the Gold and Log Cabin Smooch sprays.  Too much fun.

Below is another version of her card, she used Tangerine Tango for this one, how pretty.

 

French Foliage was the last card we did, see the supply list for this one on September 10.

Contact me for more details or to place an order.

Enjoy the week!
