Happy Tuesday stampers! Are you ready for some creative inspiration from Tuesday Morning Sketches?? This week, our sketch was designed by my uber-talented team-mate, Jessi! Take a look...
    

    

Lots of possibilities for this one! Our sponsor this week is My Creative Classroom. Be sure to link up your creation for a chance to win!

    

So here is my take on the sketch... kept it clean and simple, and oh so quick by using just some die cuts! For a little added interest, the shapes are popped up at varying layers using foam adhesive.

   

   

The sentiment is one of my favorites, from the There She Goes Under the Weather set. All dies are from Lil' Inker Designs. And, by the way - there is an awesome SALE happening at Lil' Inker right now... these dies, and lots of other goodies are 25% off from now until November 11th! Just use the discount code NOV25OFF at checkout!

     

That's all for now! I hope to see you playing along with us at Tuesday Morning Sketches this week!

Thanks for stopping by!

  

    

I'm back to share a quick little treat package I made for the twins to take to their Halloween party at school!

     

     

These were inspired by this project I found on Pinterest. The blogger did not give dimensions for her treat holder, or where to make the score lines, so I figured it out for myself! Here's how I did it...

    

The cardstock is cut to 5" by 3", and scored at 1 3/4" and 2 1/4". I've marked the scorelines in black so it's easier to see...

      

     

If you have an older Scor-Pal like me, then slide the cardstock over to the 1/4" mark, and score at 2" and 2 1/2".

     

     

I used my corner chomper to round all the corners. The smaller panel will be the front of the treat holder, so that is where I stamped the sentiment. The one I chose is from the Lil' Inker Designs Best Witches set. On the 1/2" strip in the center, I used Scor-Tape to hold the treats in place. The toppers are printables from Tic Tac Togs on Etsy. They are matted on a black scalloped circle, and held on with glue dots, but only on the top half. The lower half does not have adhesive, so you can just tuck the front panel underneath.

      

    

Here is a close up of one of the treats all finished, and closed up.
    

      

These are so cute, so easy, and can be adapted for any occasion!

   

I'm writing this in a bit of a hurry, so if my instructions don't make sense, please leave me a comment, and I'll fix it up tomorrow!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

   

HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

         

   

It's Day 3 of the All That Scraps November Previews, and the design team is featuring the newest Sweet November stamps! I used Beth and Nicholas on my card today... don't you love their little faces? I think they are so cute! These are actually two separate images, but with a little masking, they work so well together!

The layout is the current Sweet Sunday Sketch, I just put the patterned paper panel and embellishments on the opposite side. I thought it fit my image better this way!

We have another great sketch this week at Tuesday Morning Sketches, this time designed by Theresa!

    

   

And along with this awesome sketch, we have a fabulous sponsor, and another one of my personal favorites... Meljen's Designs! I love her whimsical images, and don't get to play with them often enough! For my card, I used this Ghost Cutie. It reminds me of those Lolli-pop Ghosts... you know, the Tootsie Pops covered in a tissue, tied on with ribbon. Have you ever made those? They make for a super cute and very quick Halloween treat!

Anyway, onto the card... I found some fun digital paper on Etsy called Halloween Night from Prettiful Designs. The purple background behind the image was done with a combination of coloring with Copics,  and sponging on some Versamagic Purple Hydrangea Ink. The sentiment is from the Lil' Inker Designs Carving Pumpkins set.

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you had a great weekend! Now how about some sneak peeks from All That Scraps to start your week off??

My head was just spinning when I saw this month's release! So much cuteness! Like this new "Sisters" stamp...   

      

    

If you follow me at all, you know I am a sucker for images of sisters... I am one of five girls, and I have twin daughters, so images like these melt my heart! I colored these sweeties with my Copics, and paper-pieced the dresses. The patterned papers are all from the Echo Park This and That Graceful 6x6 pad... a very pretty, girly paper collection! I stepped out of my comfort zone, and mixed different patterns... not sure why that is so hard for me to do, but it is! I also used the new Four Seasons Fence Die (stamped with the Woodgrain stamp) to help create a little outdoor scene behind the girls.

I even decorated the inside of the card this time! The sentiment is from the new AmyR Brothers and Sisters set...
