Morning Cup

If you're like me, that first cup of coffee in the morning is really important! Larry is usually up first and gets the pot brewing and most days will bring me my first cup before I even get out of bed! What an awesome husband I have! I've always liked the Morning Cup stamp set, and finally had a chance to get it out and make some cards with it! I've already gotten two of the cards addressed and ready to go out in the mail today. I bet you can think of at least one person that could use a little perking up, can't you?
Isn't it just cheery? I used up a couple of pieces of last years DSP that I had for the background. I decided, I really do have a lot of paper that I've saved (hoarded) and really need to start using! Can any of you relate?
I love the inside too with the coffee cup wheel and that saying just cracks me up...a morning without coffee is like sleep! So true!
Ingrdients: Morning Cup stamp set, Take a Sip Wheel
Paper: Daffodil Delight, retired DSP Greenhouse Gala, Whisper White, Watercolor paper, Pumpkin Pie, Baja Breeze, Poppy Parade
Accessories: Wheel handle, 1/8" Taffeta Daffodil ribbon, Aqua Painter, Pinking Hearts Boarder Punch, Jewelry Tag Punch, Vintage Trinkets, Snail Adhesive, Dimensionals

Good Saturday morning to you! I'm up and enjoying my first cup of coffee all by myself this morning. I started this post yesterday morning, then got busy with the day and didn't get back to it. Faith had her first Halloween Party at pre-school.  Katie made pumpkin Rice Krispy treats on a stick...so cute! She dipped them in candy coating and I drew faces on them with yellow melted candy. The kids loved them! Faith also took the pumpkin lollipops that I made for each of the kids. How fun!! 12 little 2 year olds all dressed up in costumes! Just too cute! Hope you're having fun with the season. I know I sure am! 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

What fun Faith and I had yesterday making these easy little pumpkin lollipops! No stamping involved, just cut, punch and decorate! An easy craft to do with your kids and grand kids. Faith had so much fun naming them as we went. Can you see which ones look like Grandpa? Grandma? (that's me!) or her Mommy or Daddy?? Michael? Gabe? Lily? Collin? 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
