Candy Wrappers

I'm part of a vendor fair next weekend here in Elko, so have been working on a little give away from me to those that will be stopping by. This little candy wrapper is done with the two tags die and the Big Shot and went together fairly quickly. What a fun little place card this would be for your Thanksgiving table, or even at your next Bunco night! You could stamp anything on the tag to make it fit your occasion.
Ingredients: Stamps: French Foliage, Just Believe
Paper: Crumb cake, Naturals Ivory, Cajun Craze, So Saffron, Very Vanilla, DSP Spice Cake
Ink: More Mustard, Always Artichoke, Early Espresso, Soft Suede, Cajun Craze
Accessories: Big shot, Two Tags Die, Early Espresso 1/8" Taffeta ribbon , floss, sticky strip, Snail adhesive, dimensionals

Here's a picture of the back side so you can see the randomly stamped images and the direct to paper that I did on the edges to bring them out.


Here's a picture of the whole pile of them.
Aren't those little chocolates sweet with the wrapping paper? I cut the paper 1 1/2"x 3". There was no waste at all on a 12x12 sheet of paper! I love the new Spice Cake paper coming in the new Holiday mini catalog. You should be getting your copy of the mini catalog in the mail this week or next!
One final picture of the little wrapped chocolate bars. I chose four designs that went with the outside wrappers and wrapped Hershey minis bars. (I didn't eat too many of them as I worked!) 

Katie taught me how to make a new Indonesian dish last night for dinner. She made Rendang, which is a spicy stir fried beef and vegetables. I think I have another favorite Indonesian recipe to make!
School started today for Larry and Katie. I think both were just a little nervous with the first day. We spent a lot of time this weekend getting both classrooms set up and ready for students today. Wish them well and pray for a good year!
I'll be working on a couple of scrap book pages today between kid naps. I want to be able to display a couple of those this weekend, and didn't bring any of my done projects with me. Look for those in a day or two! Happy Stampin'!

Work, Work, Work!

Work, work, and more work, leaves little time for playing! As a new teacher this year, I'm spending a lot of time coming up with new ideas and ways to share ideas with kids. I'm loving every minute of it, but it leaves little time for stamping! I have done several classes and have done a little bit of stamping, but not near enough! My fingers are itching to get back at it! Here's a couple of samples of things that I've gotten done...   This one is masked, shaded and then unmasked and stamped with the leaves. Simple design, but fun to do and makes a great guy card...which as you know, can be hard to come up with! I made these with my scrapbook group on Wednesday night, and they loved them! I stamped a leaf in the corner, and then one on the outside of the envelope too. This one I've done before, but just love the design and the technique! To get this neat look, add color to the stamp with the marker first, then spray the watercolor paper with water

Punchy Scarecrow

Seems like I've been working on these forever! The poor mess I've had on Katie and Dickson's table! They're so patient with me! Lots and lots of punches and putting pieces together, then lots of help and interruptions, but so worth the effort! They are just so cute!! I also put together a punch page for the book I started with 6x6 pages so I can remember how I put them all together. The original scarecrow was done by another demonstrator, Doris Denman, and she's got some really fun punch art, but be warned, it's not for a quick card! Here's the Scarecrow:   Ingredients: Stamp Set (for the words) Always Thankful coming in the new mini catalog Sept 1st, Autumn Days for the inside Paper: Marina Mist, Cajun Craze, DSP Cajun Craze and Marina Mist, Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Chip, River Rock, Basic Black, Riding Hood Red, More Mustard, Pacific Point, Daffodil Delight, Very Vanilla for the center of the card  Ink: Chocolate Chip, More Mustard, Cajun Cra

Ingredients: Paper Pumpkin Pie Ink: Cajun Craze, Riding Hood Red Accessories: Large Oval Punch, Black Marker, White Pen, Sponge Daubers, Old Olive Ribbon, Dimensionals, Snail Adhesive, Glue Dots, Lollipops The Pumpkin Pie paper is cut 5 1/4" by 1 1/2", scored at 1 7/8" and 3 3/8" All the ovals were sponged with Cajun Craze, the face drawn on with markers and the white pen, the cheeks added with the Riding Hood Red and a Q-tip. The wrapper to the lollipop is stuck together with glue dots, and the ribbon attached for the leaves. Easy and fun! So if you're having one of those days and need to hang with a few friends, or
