Spooky Decor Elements
October 31, 2008
I’m in serious love with our Decor Elements line! They are so easy to use and turn ordinary items into WOW! items with such little effort.
Here’s a spooky bucket that I made for Halloween -
Patrick picked up this bucket from a local home improvement store along with a can of orange spray paint. I sprayed it inside and out waited impatiently for it to dry! The painting/drying process was the longest part of this project. Wait, no the driving to the store and back would be the longest part 
Anyway, once dry I applied the Spooky Spider Decor Element and VOILA! a candy holder or fill it with party favors for a school party (like I did for Audrey’s class). Easy peasy and super cute!
Happy Halloween!
Stinkin’ Cute BOO Banner!
October 27, 2008
Okay so I’m late to the game to actaully make a banner, I know. But trust me I’ve had ideas and plans for a while. The ones created at Founders Circle were quite an inspiration but I didn’t want to sew. I don’t particularly like to sew so I kept delaying. We finally went for fabric - OH MY WORD! what an experience - and look what I made with ZERO sewing….
Admit it, it’s STINKIN’ CUTE! I’m quite pleased with my efforts - can you tell? 
Anyhoo, Tangerine Tango for the back pennant, groovy sparkly spider web fabric from local craft store (1/2 off!!) , Tangerine Tango again for the scallops, Tangerine Tango ribbon through jumbo eyelets (applied with the Crop-a-Dile of course) and then I made my letters from coasters with the Sans Serif dies and my BigShot. WHOA! Watch out, I’m getting creative, it’s going to get scarey hahahaha After I had the letters in hand I took some Black Craft Ink to them with a dauber (something I learned from eyeing smarter people observing my colleagues at Convention 2008). Imagine that, I learned something because I had to sit with unknown people for make and takes! Hmmm, might have to do that again next year
For those who know me, well you know I wear as much or more ink than my projects usually. The dauber is the excellent solution to this problem. I had minimal damage afterwards and NONE on my clothes HURRAY! After they were dry, which wasn’t long because with the dauber you actually get the ink down in the coasters/chipboard better, I then attacked myself them with the Tombow glue and then the Black Chunky Glitter. I love how they look and the mess really was minimal. I’m no good with glue so of course I was wearing quite a bit of that but that’s my fault not the the glue!
As for the no sewing - MINI GLUE DOTS BABY! Positioned pretty evenly around each pennant and virtually invisible I think I’m pretty smart! I used mini glue dots for the letters to the scallops and then the big pop up glue dots for the scallops to the fabric. I’ll let you know tomorrow if I find them in the floor.
Off now to finish up projects for our team meeting tonight. I have some cute little projects for the gals to make after we talk just a small bit of business. Stamping is more fun anyway!
The 2nd baby tooth
October 24, 2008
WOW! I can’t believe Audrey is big enough to be losing baby teeth but she is. This one was pulled though and you would have loved to have been a fly on the wall to watch the drama!
At one point she said she was going to blow her nose and locked herself in our bathroom! I thought it was hysterical, Patrick not so much In the end Patrick pulled it (it was barely hanging in there) and Audrey did not die from the pain.
She refused to deal with the Tooth Fairy last night. The whole experience was too much for her. So today she has the tooth with her at school for show and tell. Apparently one of the kids is always bringing in something for show and tell so she was in her glory I’m sure talking about her tooth. (Poor teacher, 17 kids each bringing something “fabulous” during the week. No telling what all she sees!)
Anyway just had to document the occasion so I’d always remember the 1st time she locked herself in the bathroom. I think starting at 5 is a little early, don’t you?
Cute little flower
October 5, 2008
Here’s a super easy way to personalize a kid’s room - DECOR ELEMENTS! I found this little flower on clearance for $2.99 and since Mac’s room is pink and green it was calling her name. Decor Elements is so super easy I actually applied this at a Stamp Insanity class that Julie and I had in July. It was the first one that I had applied and I did it right in front of all our attendees - I’m such a brave soul!
It’s super cute and when I’m not carting it off to show at a party or class she’s using it for tea parties!
The second phase of Decor Elements has been introduced and if you haven’t seen them you are missing out! New images, new colors, holiday items … the possibilities are endless!
