Decorating My Desk For Work

Hi Everyone! Are you all as excited for Halloween as I am! {as a side note I am almost finished Christmas shopping for Peyton! Woot Woot!!!} So I thought I would finally show you all my desk at work! We are having a Halloween Desk Decorating Contest, and I finally have everything up that I wanted to get! Well, almost. My ideas are always grand!

I took my BOO letters and girly skull to work, but I made some other things, just for work. I made a few goblets, a spooky tree, and a haunted house {my favorite!}.

Here are the pics:


I fell in love with the new line from Tim Holtz with all these fun Halloween cutouts. This one uses the black skeleton body.  I used the boney hand on the scrapbook page frame that I posted last.

 

Here is the fun bow on the goblet. Get ready to see more of these bows!



This tree is from Michaels. I added the garland, like the same as my tree at home, but this time I added the little bats to it. I am having a hard time finding a small enough light set for it. Maybe next year.



Close-up of the tag on the tree.

I love these fun spiders and the web all over everything! As you can tell, I got pretty crazy over the spiderweb and used it over everything!!!!!! It is too much fun!

Goblet #2. This one has a lollie, scallop circle and another fun label from Authentique. The spider is from last year used on my SPOOKY banner.

 

And her is the tag on the side of the goblet.

My favorite is this little Halloween House! I have been wanting to make one for the longest time, finally, I just made myself do it last night. It was staring at me, and said "Make me into a Halloween house!" So I said "Okay!" You can't tell in the picture, but there is black spider web all over the house.

Here is the top of the house. Another bow! And I love these spiders!

Hi Skully! Ooh, like from X-Files! I just admitted some of my geekiness that I have been hiding! I was a total X-Files nerd! I love a good conspiracy theory, what can I say.

Here are the BOO letters again.



And then everything, including my HALLOWEEN banner and then a felt bat banner from Martha Stewart.

So cross your fingers for me that I win the contest! It's Thursday morning, so I will keep you all posted!

I'm Back! And I've Been Busy!

Hello. My name is Leana and I am a crafting supply hoarder. {admitting feels good! :-)}

There, I said it! Well, not only do I hoard crafting supplies, but I am just a cluttery person in general. Sigh.... Well, my husband has been really wonderful and is helping me get out of my rut! It started with turning the weekend of Martin Luther King Day into a three day holiday of cleaning my craft room - I started the weekend before really, but kept it going. Now I am loving my room all over again! I still have a lot of work to do on it, but it is at least getting manageable.

But wait, there's more....

I also cleaned out my bedroom closet this week! I had about 6 bags of clothes that went to the D.I. - for those that don't know what that is, think Good Will - and found a bunch of clothes that fit me again :-)! I was able to put some pants and other clothes that are too big away, and get out clothes that I haven't been able to wear in like 5 years! I haven't actually typed it down here on my blog, but I can tell you all that I have lost 30 pounds :). I am starting to feel like my old self again. I still have a lot of work to do and I am not down to my goal. But I actually feel like it's achievable now. I have been basically working with the old Weight Watchers point program, but didn't follow it strictly. I have worked hard though with portion control and trying to eat healthy - though it doesn't always work.

Because of all the cleaning that I mentioned before, I was able to go through my stamps and get rid of a lot that I don't use anymore. I have them listed on Etsy for purchase. I have them listed pretty cheap, if you all want to hop on over and check them out. :-)

Aside from all this other news though, I have been trying to craft when I could sneak in some time. This evening I finally finished two things to list on Etsy. They are both card kits. One comes completely assembled with the cutest little envelopes to fit the cards. The other comes with 1 finished card and then everything needed to make 5 more cards to match.

I'll show the assembled kit first...


Don't you love that chair! It's one of my favorite stamps from the current Stampin' Up set. And it's one of my most recent purchases.





This little envelope is a Big Shot die from Stampin' Up! Isn't it so cute!

 As you all know, I love to make smaller cards. It's just my thing lately! I am doing a swap with some friends, and I was specifically told that I had to make my cards 4x5! Ha! Funny hu! Oh, well.

Anyway, I have had this envelope die since I got my Big Shot and never used it. I have used my upline, Cindy's, at her house for our monthly club projects, but I have never done anything with mine on my own. I knew though that I wanted to make a small set of cards that had envelopes to go with them. And then it hit me - du! I have envelopes that I can make and then make the cards to fit them! Gotta love the light bulb moments! So I took my favorite chair stamp and some My Mind's Eye patterned cardstock and this cute little set was born. I made 6 cards and 6 envelopes to sell at my Etsy store craftydork.

 Here is the kit all packaged up and ready for Etsy :-) ....

This is what I used to make them:

Cardstock - Pretty In Pink, Bashful Blue, Old Olive, Very Vanilla and Naturals Ivory Stampin' Up!
Patterned Paper - My Mind's Eye
Die - Scallop Envelope Big Shot for Stampin' Up!
Punches - Itty Bitty 4 petal flower, Designer Label, Scallop Trim border, Dotted Scallop Ribbon border, Large Scallop Circle, 1/16" hole Stampin' Up!
Stamps - Stampin' Up!
Ink - Chocolate Chip, Soft Suede, Pretty In Pink Stampin' Up!
Ribbon - Old Olive grosgrain Stampin' Up!
Pearls - Stampin' Up!
Adhesive - glue stick 3 M; liquid glue Crystal Effects from Stampin' Up!

A few things to note: I stamped the envelope flowers in Soft Suede on 3 envelopes, and then Chocolate Chip on the other 3. Also, for some reason, even though all the chairs are in Soft Suede, a few of them came out darker than the others. Not really sure why, or how I did that! And the last thing is, the envelopes don't seal. I think they would be cute with a bit of ribbon tied around them, or just a tiny dab of Crystal Effects to hold it closed would work too.

And there you have it folks. I think these would be adorable on a present! What do you all think?

So my next kit features one of my most favorite paper brands, American Crafts! But more specifically, their Dear Lizzy line! I've said it before, but Elizabeth Kartchner is such a cutie! And her stuff is to die for! And her Enchanted papers are so cute! I love the big florals and bright colors.

This card just makes me happy....


Isn't the paper so pretty! :)

Stampin' Up!'s spring mini catalog is full of gorgeous stamps, paper and accessories. The dress form stamp is from the Oh Sew Suite line and it is one of my favorites! The button is also from Stampin' Up! but it is in the main catalog.

Here is a breakdown of the supplies:

Cardstock - Daffodil Delight, Whisper White Stampin' Up!
Patterned Paper - Enchanted Dear Lizzy for American Crafts {the solid paper, besides the white, is the reverse side of the patterned paper}
Stamps - Sew Suite {dress form} Stampin' Up!; frame and "my favorite" sentiment Dear Lizzy from American Crafts
Inks - Perfect Plum, Baja Blue, Early Espresso Stampin' Up!
Punches - Small Scallop Circle, 1/16" hole, Scallop border, 1 3/8" Circle Stampin' Up!
Bling - half pearls Stampin' Up!; orange jewels Doodle Bug; pink metal flowers with rhinestones Making Memories {aren't these so cute!!!!!!}
Ribbon - blue and brown scallop American Crafts; baker's twine my stash
Button - Rich Razzleberry Stampin' Up!
Adhesive - glue stick 3M; ribbon line Pop Dots;

Here is the kit all packaged up...

The only things you need to assemble the kit together is a glue stick and a little bit of liquid glue! The liquid glue was used to adhere the orange jewels and then just a dab behind the bottom of the stand on the dress form. Everything that needs to be inked, cut, punched, tied or scored is already done for you.

As I mentioned, this card just makes me happy. :-) The colors and patterns are all about spring. And I am so anxious for it to just be here already! How about you all?

And lastly, I have some fun Valentine cards I made. Originally I had made these to go on Etsy too. I am working on a set of 10. But I had the owner of the company I work for, purchase them already :).

Here are the 3 I have finished so far...

The patterned paper is absolutely adorable, don't you think! It's all Fancy Pants brand, except the red glitter paper. The cards - in Sahara Sand - are from Stampin' Up! about 4 years ago.  They have envelopes that fit them. The patterned paper is actually to make little Valentines. They have a label on the other side so you can put to and from. But I decided I would just convert them into cards - at least for the set of 10. I bought another sheet of the paper though, so I may make some to go along with some candy as just regular Valentines.

Here are all the supplies used:

Patterned Paper - Fancy Pants
Cardstock - Whisper White, Early Espresso Stampin' Up!
Glitter Cardstock - American Crafts
Stamp - Love American Crafts
Ink - Early Espresso, Ridinghood Red markers Stampin' Up!
Punches - Scallop border, Itty Bitty 4 petal flower, Itty Bitty flower, Scallop Trim border, Dotted Scallop Ribbon border Stampin' Up!; Lace border Martha Stewart
Button - BasicGrey
Bling - pearls, rhinestones Stampin' Up!
Glitter Glue - red Studio G {used on the Happy Valentine's Day card. I used it on the heart shaped balloon}
Ribbon - Brown and white polka-dot grosgrain May Arts; Red grosgrain Making Memories; Baker's Twine my stash
Adhesive - glue stick 3m; foam adhesive Dimensionals from Stampin' Up!; Glue Line Pop Dots; liquid glue Crystal Effects from Stampin' Up!

So for the Everything Grows Better With Love card, the hearts are cut out from one of the patterned papers. On the From My Heart to Yours With Love card, those pink hearts were just  hand cut out. Stampin' Up! has a heart punch that I so want, but I just haven't bought it yet.

And there you have it. As soon as I get more of the Valentines cards finished, I'll post those. And check out my Etsy store if you are interested in the card kits. Oh and as soon as my room is finished, I will post updated pics of it here too.

Last thing before I am off... I decided to try out for the Stampin' Up! Artisian Award this year. I don't know what my chances are, but here's hoping! I have a few things completed already. But I will share them at a later date :)

Hope you are all good and staying crafty!

A Few More Numbers Down...

Hi crafty friends! Hope you are all doing good! I am excited to show the next few numbers that I have completed. I have decided that I am being super slow because I watch TV while I craft and pay more attention to the shows sometimes than to my projects!!!! :) Like last night, I was watching Glee - the episode with Gwyneth Paltrow - and crafted maybe 5 minutes out of that time! Oh, well. Such is life. But I did get 2 numbers done last night, plus I started on some of the ornaments to decorate the tree too.

 I have said it before, and I will say it again! I LOVE Dear Lizzy's lines! She is the cutest and makes the cutest supplies. Her current Christmas selection - a throw back to the 1930's - 1950's - is so fun to work with. I wasn't crazy about the colors at first, I admit. But the more I use the papers, the more I love them!!

Here is how #6 turned out:

As you all know, I have a hard time leaving things well enough alone when it comes to being crafty. I love other's simple styles, but I always have urges to just keep adding! So I was proud of myself that I stopped where I was here. Sometimes, I admit, I get a little crazy - too crazy! I wanted to add more though to the picture of the sleigh and kids, but I left it alone with the exception of adding the glitter to the horse.

Here are the supplies used:

Patterned Paper - American Crafts Dear Lizzy line, My Mind's Eye {the polka dot scallop oval tag}

Cardstock - Stampin' Up! {only the #6. All other solid colors are the Dear Lizzy papers}

Punches - Scallop Ribbon border, Scallop Oval, Small Oval, Itty Bitty Flower Stampin' Up!

Ink - Soft Suede Stampin' Up!

Bling - Rhinestone Jewel Stampin' Up!, Red liquid glitter Studio G

Die - QuicKutz

Magnet Sheet - QuicKutz

Brad - 7 Gypsy's

Ribbon - All My Memories {you can tell I have really been digging into my stash with using old brands!}

This next number I made with the oh so adorable Margie Romney-Aslett Twig and Tinsel line. OK, could you just die! Could you! I so am in love with her style and papers and everything. Her materials have been hard to come by here in the good old Beehive State! I tried to get the Toil and Trouble line but it ran out so fast everywhere, I couldn't get my hands on any of it :(. So as soon as I saw her Christmas papers, I knew they needed to be mine :). I didn't even get all of them, but I got one of each the store had!!!!! I love the shabby chic/vintage look of all of her things!

Here is what I came up with for #8:

Here are the supplies used:

Patterned Paper - Twig and Tinsel The Girl's Paperie

Cardstock - Very Vanilla Stampin' Up!

Inks - Soft Suede Stampin' Up!

Punches - Scallop Ribbon border, Small Star, 3/4 Circle Stampin' Up!, Large Corner Rounder EK Success

Die - QuicKutz

Magnet Sheet QuicKutz

Ribbon - Brown Gathered Satin Maya Road, Green Seam Binding May Arts, Baker's Twine My Stash

Button - Brown bling Bazzill Basics

Half Pearls - Stampin' Up!

Fabric - Stampin' Up!

Adhesive - my glue gone to hold the fabric flower together, Crystal Effects {used to make the epoxy circle on #8 and to attache the half pearls}, Pop Dots and Continuous Line Glue Dots

Here is the first ornament I made for the tree. I borrowed Amber's ornament punch and stamp set from Stampin' Up! so I could make these cute ornaments with patterned paper and cardstock stamped with the cute stamp set. Don't you love this ornament punch! I know I do!!!! The stamps are just as awesome too!

Here is the front:

Side 2:

Side 3:

So, as you can tell from this picture, I shoved the ribbon down into the 3 layers of the ornament to have a little hanger. Then I am going to clippy the ornaments on the tree. I think I need about 10 of them!!!

I have my tree sitting on top of my kitchen counter until I get it hung up. My dogs are so the dogs that would "eat homework" if given a chance!!!! So there is no way I can have the tree sitting against the wall until I hang it up. As  you can see, I still need to make 3, 4 and 5 but then the bottom is finished. I was really hoping that I could get this done before Thanksgiving since I plan to get my Christmas stuff out right after then. But since I am going slow, doesn't look like that is going to happen. I guess it depends on how much I get done this weekend for sure.

Well, I am off! I hope you are all well and being crafty!

Oh, and I will list the supplies for the ornaments on my next post.

SPOOKY Bat Banner

It's me again. I am sad to see Halloween to go, but look forward to Thanksgiving and of course Christmas! I never posted my Spooky Halloween Banner, so I figured I should do it now, or wait a whole year! I love this banner! It turned out cute and it is super fun. I will look forward to getting it out every year!

The year Thong, and I moved into our house, my parents got me a gift card to one of my most favorite stores, Rod Works! I was ecstatic to see that it was for $200!!! So I ended up buying the mirror and shelf you see in the picture below. I am wishing they would have had the bigger shelves they have now, when I bought it, but I love the red color! I bought some of the smaller decorations too that you see - black drawers, green candlesticks and candles, the red clock.

The one thing I don't do is change out the items really for holidays. I am thinking I need to start though! I change it out for Christmas every year, but other than that, the items stay the same. I put my Halloween decorations on my high counter top, but next year, I think I will add them to the shelf. And maybe I can start adding to my Halloween decorations. I have hardly any.

The one thing with my banner is that it is heavy - which I didn't take into account when I was making it - so it weighs down too much to actually hang. I set it up on my shelf, but as you can see, there aren't any other Halloween decorations with it. But next year, I think it will be cute when it's all Halloween!

Here are the pics:

Here are the details:

Banner - Black bat glitter Tai Pan Trading

Patterned Paper - My Minds Eye, Martha Stewart, Stampin' Up!

Cardstock Letter Squares - Little Yellow Bicycle

Gold Glass Glitter - Stampin' Up! {Careful with this! It hurts when you cut your finger!}

Clear Buttons w/Rhinestones- Bazil Basics
Crystal Effects - Stampin' Up! {I used this to attach the glitter. I also used it to trace each letter and have them stand out more}

Ribbon - Purple Satin May Arts; Cream and Gray Polka Dot Tai Pan Trading
Embossing Plate - Spider Web Stampin' Up!

Hope you guys like it! It was a lot of fun to make! I can't wait to get started on Thanksgiving and Christmas projects! I still have my village to work on, and wreath to finish!

Hope you all are good!

Finally, The Tags I Made For Amber's Party

As I have been promising, I am finally showing the tags I made for Amber's party she hosted for me. Here is the skinny. I made one of the projects way too complicated and poor Amber and the rest of the participants spent a lot of time doing just one of the 5 tags! Agghhhh! Every person's nightmare who does any kind of demonstrations or home party, right! Thank goodness all of the fabulous ladies stayed fabulous and are still friends with me after the ordeal!!! :-) Love all of you!

So lets start with the easiest of the 5, which also happens to be the last one - as well as my least favorite. :-P.

Can you see all the lines on the label that says You Take The Cake! That is from the Big Shot plates. We used it so many times, even though my plates were brand new, the lines showed up from the previous dies that were cut out. I actually didn't mind it, thought it gave it kind of a fun texture.

Here are the details: {All Supplies are from Stampin' Up!

Cardstock - Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Daffodil Delight

Stamps - Party Hearty

Inks - Chocolate Chip, Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight

Dies - Lots Of Tags Sizzlets 4 pack

Onto Tag Number Two....

Looks like the little half pearl that was on the flower on the bird cage fell off before I took the picture. This was my second favorite tag that we made. One thing about this stamp set. The pole for the cages is pretty long. It actually takes up most of the height of the white block. What I did so I didn't have to change how I stamped it was stamp the post directly on to the block and then stamp the cage on a separate piece of white paper. Then I cut out the bird cage and glued it on top of the post covering up a lot of it. This also lets me overlap onto the patterned paper just a bit. The cage isn't hard to cut out except for the little swirls close to the top on both sides. So I didn't cut that part out! But because I am putting white paper on top of white paper, you really don't notice. At least not enough where it bothered me. I hate when things are noticeable when they don't need to be, so I was excited when I came up with solution instead.

Here are the details of the tag: {all supplies are Stampin' Up!}

Cardstock - Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White

Patterned Paper - Greenhouse Gala

Stamps - Aviary {clear mount}, Birthday Bliss

Inks - Chocolate Chip, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Pear Pizazz

Punches and Dies - Scallop Square bigz die, Backgrounds 1 Texturz Plates {not a fan of the plates for embossing! The folders and embosslets are awesome though!}, Scallop border

Half Pearl - {not shown since fell off} from the retired Pretties Kit but are now sold all by themselves and are adhesive backed!!!!

Tag Number Three...

I liked the way this tag turned out. I knew when I was planning the class that I was going to want a big flower one at least one of the tags! As you can always tell, I am obsessed with flowers :-). And I hadn't had the die too long, so I figured I would use this one for sure. I liked that it had the center large enough to put a large circle in the middle too. The patterned paper is the paper that comes completely white with embossed images over the various sheets. Then you take a dauber, roller or some kind of tool to transfer color onto the paper, and the embossed images stay white! It is so cool! I love it!!!!

Here are all the details: {all supplies are Stampin' Up!}

Cardstock - Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry, Very Vanilla

Patterned Paper - Presto Patterns Specialty

Stamps - Circle Circus, Sincere Salutations

Inks - Rich Razzleberry, Chocolate Chip

Dies and Punches: Corner Rounder, Fancy Label, 1 3/8" Large Circle, Beautiful Wings embosslits, Island Floral Bigz, Itty Bitty Shapes

Half Pearl - See above tag about pearl!

Onto Tag Number Four.....

This is my second least favorite one. Here is why. I actually think it turned out quite nice, but it really isn't my style. Although I like it just fine, it was a stretch for me only because of the plainness of it! I know, lame! But it is the way I am! :-)

Here are this tags details: {all Supplies are Stampin' Up!}

Cardstock - Ridinghood Red, Old Olive, Whisper White, Chocolate Chip

Stamps - Punched Posies, Pocket Silhouettes

Inks - Ridinghood Red, Old Olive, Chocolate Chip

Punches - Large Oval, Scallop Oval, Pinking Hearts, Extra Large 5 Petal Flower, Ticket Corner, Itty Bitty Punch Pack

And finally!!! Tag Number Five.....

I have saved this last one for a few reasons, one it was my favorite, and two, as I mentioned above, this is the one that was the biggest pain of all of them! Almost all tags, I used the big shot on and this had a lot of pieces that needed to be die cut! Again, ladies I am so sorry :-). Hopefully you will forgive me for sure!

As you can see, lots and lots of pieces. The blue flowers and then the tag that is the tag the chair is on, is 2 of the same die. The flower, I staggered. The tag behind the chair, I cut the middle out of a diff patterned paper and layered it over the other pattern of the same tag. If you look on the chair, it shows specks over it. I watched YouTube and learned how to make my own glimmer mists!!!! So easy and so much cheaper than buying them! I will post the link if I find it!

Here are the details of the tag: {all supplies again are Stampin' Up!}

Cardstock - Real Red textured, Daffodil Delight, Marina Mist, Very Vanilla

Patterned Paper - Greenhouse Gala {I am in love with this paper!}

Stamps - Happy Birthday sentiment is from a retired Sale-A-Bration set from this year, Have A Seat

Brads and Pearls - See above note about Pearls, clear gem brad

Inks - Chocolate Chip, Real Red

Glimmer Mist - my own creation

Dies and Punches - Top Note, Itty Bitty Punches, 3/4" Circle, Lots Of Tags dies, Blossom Party {love this die! This is the one I use to make the paper roses that i have been showing!}, Scallop Trim border

Ribbon: White grosgrain

And there you have them all! Crazy night of tag making. I learned my lesson, I promise!!! Hope everyone is good! Till text post!

Lots and Lots and Lots of Tags

Hi Everyone! A few posts ago I mentioned that I had a tag party at my crafty twin, Amber Lafata's house. Here are the tags that I promised I would post. As I have mentioned before my crafty twin got me on a tag kick! I love to make them! They look so cute on a pretty package all wrapped up. No envelope required but they are just as effective as a great card!

I am starting out with some tags I made earlier this summer. Here is the first:

These tags were my first that I made once I got the impulse/obsession to make them. I didn't quite know what I was making. But I like they way they turned out. Do you ever do that? Make something that you have the impulse to make but not really sure what it looks like until it is made? Sometimes those are my favorite projects! The ones I do strictly on impulse and I don't  plan out at all, in my head or on paper before hand.

Here are the details:

Cardstock: Barely Banana {retired}, Whisper White Stampin' Up!

Patterned Paper: My Minds Eye

Stamps: Stampin' Up!

Inks: Chocolate Chip, Old Olive Stampin' Up!

Brad: Stampin' Up!

Distress Tool: Close To My Heart

Tag Number Two....

This card was super fun to make. And super easy. I love making these paper twirly wirlies {I watch too much kids T.V.} All of the paper is from Stampin' Up! They came out with this paper pack in their spring mini catalog this year that I absolutely loved! I was sad to see it go!!! I have lots left though to still use and use and use :-).

Here are the details:

Cardstock: Whisper White textured and smooth, and Melon Mambo from Stampin' Up!

Patterned Paper: Stampin' Up!

Stamps: Stampin' Up!

Ink: Chocolate Chip, Tempting Turquoise, Pretty In Pink, More Mustard Stampin' Up!

Ribbon: Pink Gingham Making Memories

Tag Number Three....

I got this layout for this card from the current Stampin' Up! catalog. I love this flower stamp! It's part of one of my favorite sets and the card I CASEd it from is on the same page as the set.

Here are the details:

Cardstock: Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White Cardstock Stampin' Up!

Patterned Paper: Razzleberry Lemonade Stampin' Up!

Brads: Old Olive Stampin' Up!

Stamps: For All You Do and Tiny Tags from Stampin' Up!

Other: bakers twine

Tag Number Four....

 

This is one of 2 tags made that look the same. The other I put on a present for my crafty twin! She had her 5 year anniversary at our work, so I added it to the present from our work!

Here are the details:

Cardstock: Certainly Celery and Whisper White Stampin' Up!

Patterned Paper: Making Memories

Stamps: Forest Friends and Tiny Tags from Stampin' Up!

Markers: Chocolate Chip and Old Olive from Stampin' Up!

Ribbon: my stash

Punch: Stampin' Up!

Tag Number Five....

I love this darling patterned paper from Imaginisce! When I purchased the Forest Friends stamp set, I knew I wanted to pare them together. It took a while before I did, but I was excited with the results.

Here are the details:

Cardstock: Real Red textured, Bashful Blue and Whisper White Stampin' Up!

Patterned Paper: Imaginisce and Stampin' Up!

Punches and Die: Word Window and Scallop Trim border, pretty label Stampin' Up!

Ribbon: American Crafts

Markers: Old Olive and Chocolate Chip Stampin' Up!

Tag Number Six....

These tags were a lot of fun to make. And not too complicated. I use a lot of patterned paper - as you guys know - but I like using stamps to make cardstock look like patterned paper. These colors are also a lot of fun! This patterned paper continues in the current catalog in a new color scheme.

Here are the details:

Cardstock: Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White Stampin' Up!

Patterned Paper: Razzleberry Lemonade Stampin' Up!

Inks: Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry, Crushed Curry Stampin' Up!

Ribbon: My stash

Punches: Scallop border and Word Window Stampin' Up!

Stamps: For All You Do, Baroque Motifs, Pocket Silhouettes

Tag Number Seven....

Sorry, I realize the top is cut off of the photo. But I made this tag for my Stampin' Up! meeting from this last week. Part of getting together as demonstrators, we do an exchange. I did tags this time. These are simpler than what I normally do for projects, as you can tell, but I figure they are a good base to build off of. It isn't my favorite, but I know I could use it as a template to make one that I do like.

Here are the details:

Cardstock: Real Red textured, Whisper White, Baja Breeze, Daffodil Delight, Chocolate Chip Stampin' Up!

Stamps: Pocket Silhouettes, Have A Seat, Sincere Salutations

Inks: Soft Suede, Baja Breeze

Punches and Dies: Scallop Oval, Large Oval, Butterflies Stampin' Up!

And there you have almost all of them! I have four more to show, but I will make them another post. There were quite a bit here, so I will save them for another time!

I have been watching them Emmy's while posting, and they have been really good this year! I love Jimmy Fallon and NBC has been great at the show.

Hope you all have a great night!
