Check out this cute project I made using a little tutorial I got at Lollychops! (see her link to her blog in my side bar!) I had alot of fun using up alot of my fabric scraps for this one! I sure wish I had more time to get tons more made, I bet they'd sell pretty good! I will make sure I have enough to add to some gifts I'm making this year! I hope you'll go visit Lolly and try this! It's fun! Hugs,

Just wanted to share the finished cards from the card fronts I made. I am trying to get my stuff done so I can get my craft show things done! I have so much to do! I'll never get done! Short post today, gotta run! Hugs, michelle

Here are a couple more goodies I made this week!

The wreath card is an idea I got from Julie Bettencourt's blog (see my sidebar). She made the cutest wreath from a Stampin' Up! oval scallop punch, and I had to make some cards with her idea! I love wreaths, they are so meaningful to me at Christmas. It makes me feel welcomed when I see simple green wreath on the front door of someones home!
The next are some cups I made from a purchased template, and I will get you the link, I don't have it in front of me right now, but they are the most accurate templates I have used! I am going to put hot chocolate and some mini marshmallows, and candy canes in the snowman cup, all wrapped up in cellophane with a stamped tag, which I have done, but didn't show. The fall one will have some fall chex mix in cellophane bags, also with a stamped tag. They were so fun to make!
The third is an idea from Splitcoast Stampers. It is made from pillow boxes, which the designer used a die, but I traced mine from a template I have. I am going to put something in the basket, but I don't know what yet. All these things are for a craft show I have coming up. I hope you like! Hugs,

I have got to share these with you!

Let me explain! I bought this set of stamps from Claire Brennan (I hope I spelled that right)her company is called Waltzingmouse Makes. Her blog is in my sidebar under blogs I visit. I love them! They are clear stamps, which I love! They are just the cutest, and I had such fun working with them this morning. I made 4 of each of those designs to go on card fronts. They are woderful! The set is called Sewing Box. You can paper piece them as I have done here in my samples. There are many possibilties! I love them, and just had to share! I hope you like my card fronts! I had fun! Please excuse the pics, they are not the greatest today. Also, make sure you click on them to make them bigger. I think they look like fabric, don't you? Hugs

Spooky Sally.....

Sally is getting ready for Halloween! Are you? Does she not look like she is spooky? We put that witch hat on her, snapped the pic, and when I uploaded it, my little boy said she looks spooky! I am going to take her out trick or treating too this year. The people in our neighborhood give out treats to children, adults, and dogs! It's so cool! I cannot wait! Well, just wanted to "spook" you today! I have some things to share later or tomorw! Have a great one! Hugs, michelle

Snowmen and Pumpkins.....

Aren't these cute? The pumpkin is NOT my original idea, it is made from a tab punch.I saw the project at Splitcoast Stampers. What I did was, punched one out, enlarged it on the copier, and traced it 12 times on Coordinations cardstock, embossed it with my Cuttlebug swirls folder, added a tag. I would love to make these as place cards for Thanksgiving! The snowman, I used a Sizzix circles die, you get three different sizes of circles when you cut. I used 12 of the large for his body, embossed them with a cuttlebug snowflakes folder, inked some blue on each circle. I used the medium circle for his head, free hand cut the hat out, and the mittens, I used a piece of cardstock cut into a little point to glue into the body, I glued it in between two of the medium circles for the head to make a little "pick" out of his head. I also inked his little head a little, used sharpies to make the face. Oh, when I did the body, I cut a bit off the bottom of each circle to make him sit on the table. If you want more details, contact me via email at medichmm@comcast.net and I will explain more of how I made him. He and the pumpkin are going to be in craft shows this year, hope they sell!

Are you doing craft shows this year? What are you selling? I also do other crafts, punchneedle, stitchery, a little sewing, painting, so I am hoping to get my ambition going here to get some more stuff done! Let me know what you are doing right now! I want to know! I love to see other peoples work! Hugs, Michelle

Making some Christmas Cards for my stash! I have about 10 done now, which is not many. Usually I have much more done, but we've been a little busy lately! I am having my one and only picnic this weekend. We are having about 30 people over. Everyone is bringing something, but I am making the main things. Everyone wanted turkey, yes turkey! So turkey it will be. Also, hot sausage sandwiches, burrito casserole, homemade brownies, snacks. One friend is bringing some sides, another is bringing buffalo chicken dip and chinese coleslaw. Another is bringing the soda and the other snacks. I'm sure there will be more than enough! There always is. We are also celebrating my son's 18th birthday, although he does not know it yet! I hope it does not rain! Well, have a great weekend, and hope it's a nice one for all! Hugs, michelle
