Mustache for the sweet

Just another month until Halloween! Have you thought about your treats yet?

I got mine planned out and here is a quick look at one of them.
The long  1"x8" cellophane bag is perfect for filling a row of gumballs, pencils or anything! It comes in a pack of 50 for $3.25

Also from the Holiday Mini catalog is the  Peekaboo frames die. It's perfect for cute handmade tags!

Halloween is coming again!

It's that time of year again..all the shelves in department stores that had back-to-school items have been removed and replaced with Halloween goods. It can only mean Halloween is just around the corner!

To prepare for such a fun event, I started off with this card using the Trick or Treat letterpress plate on the Big Shot. I also used the Petite Pennant Builder punch 122361 ($22.95) to make those corn candies!

Trick Or Treat Letterpress Plates 120980

Price: $9.95

This is a card I cased from a lady off Stampin' Connection. As excited as I was I forgot to write down the lady's name I got this inspiration from. If you know her, please let me know so I can give her credit.

Upcycle!

As much as I love papercrafting, I also love finding junk and turning it into something useful and fun!

I spent my weekend cleaning out the house of things sitting around and came across an old vintage suitcase in the garage. I knew I must keep it but at the same I don't want it to sit there. I know how much my dog, Bun Bun loves hopping into my suitcase whenever I pack so I made this suitcase his and turned it into his new bed.
He loves it!! Now it's easier to get him packing for sleepovers!

Have you upcycled anything fun before? Try it out and you'll be surprised at what you'll get!

Today's card is one I did as a make and take at my incentive trip to the Sunshine Coast I earned as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator from my upline, Kari.

Promotions retreat project

During my unforgettable getaway that I earned from my upline to Sunshine Coast last month, I got to do a few make and take projects as well!
The first one is a must have for all getaways to give yourself a few moments of spa-like experience.

My awesome upline, Kari pre-sewed these eye pillows and had us fill it up with rice mixed with rejuvenating scents!

We had so much fun putting it together!

Here's a digital page that Sandra Farrell did using the My Digital Studio program. She's great working digital!
Like the eye pillows? How about making it in an upcoming fabric stamp club? Details to come!

I will post another make and take project soon so please check back for that update!
