Two Shares

Okay, I know, it's been awhile. So sorry. Just been swamped with prepping for my stamp-a-stacks. I had one already and will have three more this weekend. Plus the thing we call LIFE has poked itself into my stamping world. So you have to deal with life while fitting stamping around it.

I'm bringing you two shares today to make up for my absence! Does that make you happy??? I hope so. The first share is my last for Halloween. My Sweethearts' daughter's birthday in on Oct 30.  Each year her party revolves around Halloween activities. We had a party here with about 7 girls ranging in age from 5-9. Our project was an 8x8 scrap page, which included a picture of each girl with the birthday girl. So, as they worked on their pages, each girl posed for the pic. We printed them right on the spot. By the time their pages were done, the pic was ready to be put on the page. It was a big hit. Amazingly, the 5 year old did the best stamping!!! She absolutely blew me away.

The page the kids did was a simplistic adaptation from this page, which I believe I have previously posted......

 Here is the kids page....the two cuties are my granddaughter, Alorah, on the left and my Sweeties' daughter, Hannah, the birthday girl, on the right. They are also in costume, hence the reasoning for all the lipstick and grownup makeup. This is Alorah's page so she did all the stamping and decorating on her page.

For the second card, it is one we did in Big Shot class this past Sunday.

Tried to go for somewhat of a shabby chic look. We used the new Joyful Season letterpress plate found on page 42 in the Holiday Mini. It is paired with the also new Tasteful Trim die on page 17 in the Holiday Mini. I will come back later and post the full list of supplies used. I've got to run out for my appointment now.

Thanks for stopping by. Go create something wonderful today!

Halloween Card Share

Hi My Friends,

Hope life is treating you well. I've been super busy prepping for classes, etc. 
I have a couple of classes this weekend and want to share one project from each class.

First, my hostess for Saturday, requested an 8x8 scrap page as one of the projects. Thought this would be good for pics of kiddies and grands in their Halloween costumes.    

Then for my hostess clubs this weekend, we will do this card below. Can you tell, I'm in a Halloween mood? So out of my box. Don't normally "do" Halloween. But I have to admit, I had fun creating. This specialty paper has flocking on the large black dots. The other sheets in the pack have flocked bats. Really fun to use on your projects.

                        
Here is a close up of all the shimmer. It's hard to pick up on camera. Really sparkly in person. To get the shimmer, I mixed a drop or two of the Platinum Shimmer Paint with water in a mister bottle. Shake well, then spray.

Hope you enjoyed these samples. Thanks for stopping by.
