Be Very Scared !

Class Project #1

I love this Witch's hat from the set Eat, drink and Be Scary. This card is from a recent swap I did and shared it with my class. The colors are so bold and it makes a perfect halloween card. The hat was embossed for a shiny look and pop in dimensionals. I used the Tag for the sentiment and added the ribbon with the brad to hold it.

Here is a Christmas card that I did using the set To You and Yours. The bird was stamped on white paper first then stamped again on a scrap, cut and pop with dimensionals for a 3-D look. I used Aqua Painter to color it and added DD's to the swirls. The snowflake was from the Sizzix die cuts. The background swirls was stamped in White Craft pad.

I am so glad I got this Snow Swirled set. I just love the images that came with it. It is such a demostrable project with easy to put together embellishments. I stamped off the snowflake background.

Happy Thursday !!!
I had several days off from work and today I get back. I really enjoyed staying home and catching up on some "To Do List". I even started a book and hopefully I can finish it this year, lol.
Today's challenge on SCS is using quote on your card and be inspired by it. The Cup of Stuff from Pink Poison is the perfect image for this quote. It says a lot about friends and how they touch our lives. Here is the link for Pink Poison Stamps. if you want to see this set.
The quote was on printed vellum that I purchased sometime ago. The DSP from Bella Rose works nicely and after I added the tafetta ribbons, touch of stickles and the bling, I was pretty content how it turned out.

Magnets

You can never have too many magnets in your fridge. I have been collecting magnets. I always try to bring a magnet home with me whenever I go to different places. It is light and an inexpensive souvenir to remind you where you've been and how much fun you've had.

Anyway, these magnets are small tiles that I just covered with paper and it could be a nice inexpensive gift with a touch of bling that you can easily give away.
