Witches Goblins OH MY!

Its Witches and Goblins season...

and over at Bloggers Challenge today!

 

When the Stocking die was just released, these boots were all over the place... I however, had never made one. I used my die for all sorts of items just not the witches boot.. but this year I am!

 

 

 

 

I used the stocking die, embossed it and then grabbed some twizzlers for this cute little favor!

 
I painted with the Champayne Mist, (first time ever used) on the embossed boot and put a tag on the end.

 

How fun - How cute! How it makes me giggle everytime I look at it!! Come on over and play along!  Its bewitching!!!!

 

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day! Hug the ones you love!

 

 

Sock Hop and more...

A local Girl Scout Daisy group is having a SOCK HOP, and the assistant leader wanted some favors for the girls. I couldn't contain my excitement when I realized I had the Sizzix Stocking (Big Shot), arriving a few days after the request. 

  I only then had to figure out how to make it like a favor, meaning 3D... meaning I really needed to look at this in another direction.   I had seen a few really cool things done with this die, but I wanted something simple since I could be making 25 of these. 

Using the Sizzix Box#2 gave me  just the little bit of wiggle room I neede for some treat of a sort! I was able to put in two Twix fun size bars and a PB cup.  I am not sure what the leader has in mind, but I thought it was a good starting point. 

Then I got to thinking.... I have a group that exchanges handcrafted Christmas gifts that we decide on a theme every year... and though we haven't decided on a theme, I could use this as a nice addition to the gifts.

 Since the box is big enough for a gift card, its more fun than just an envelope ...
RIGHT?   I just little bells around the bow for fun!

So why did I use the Lucky Limeade as my sock hop color sample? ... because I was hoping the fact that it was LUCKY, would help close the sale!

Have a great day!

Day 6 ...Well OWL be, your another year older???

I cannot tell you how much fun this was to put together. The bright colors....the cheery looking owls.. it was definately a highlight... shouldn't everything be that way?  I wanted bright and fun.. I think I succeeded!  I really love the textures, the prints and the colors!  Afterall, if you are turning another year older, might as well have fun with it... right?

I was lucky enough to have most of these things already punched out and squirreled away .. so you can say I made this from "scraps".. I have had something of the like in my head for a while.. this is what happens when you are unable to bake for a while. ... your creative mojo moves into other directions.

The little treat box, I saw HERE... and I knew at some  point in time I would want to make it.  What I failed to so was actually print this on my cardstock, so I had to replicate it as a true stencil template and make the best of it...sometimes I am so difficult.. urgh!!!

Isn't it just adorable together? I have to find a nifty little note for the inside- since I have numerous birthdays this first week of March, this has certainly helped get the juices moving... since no two can be alike... on the offhand chance they may compare .. Right?

 

How did you make that little holder? click HERE

.. Party's Over!...

WHEWW!!!! What a weekend! The party was a hit! I can say the sudden change in plans didn't put a damper on things at all. I was a fool thinking that parties would get a little easier as they got older! Or maybe I am just alittle OCD about items...

My daughter and I spent HER actual birthday- June 11 - at the salon getting pedicures.. my first, her first...we had a blast! Though I believe I have created a monster.. she couldn't walk straight for the next two hours since she had to be looking at her toes the entire time! It was hilarious, but lucky that wore off by the time her girls came over the the sleep over! We spent the rest of the day preparing for her weekend worth of parties (friends, then family). Not too bad of a day... but wished we would have gone to the shore, as we have done in the past... bummer!

Here is her card:

I cheated alittle with her card. I had made some invites, and this was one, that I actually manipulated into her birthday card. I love the turn out! It is alittle front card heavy!

These were part of the "favors" for the party. The other items they got were- hula hoops, glow sticks, punch balls, lip gloss & silly straws. Most of the items they used for games or whatever and then were to keep them..

I have to put together Thank you cards, but I am on my own for those. She gave me the ok to do them on my own and then she will send out. HOORAY!!
