A Boo-tiful Tree

How cute is this???

My pal Theresa Matthews put this display together at our World Card Making Day event Oct. 6th. Theresa is a talented paper artist, whose specialty is 3D creations.

Theresa is also a master at recycling everyday items into works of art. The stacks you see in the lower right of this photo are the plastic tubes our embossing stacks come in. Theresa's filled them with colorfully decorated candles, using the Creepy Crawly designer paper.

This spooky tree was the hit of the event!


Theresa started making this ornament by stamping the image from the Batty for You stamp set twice...once in orange and again in black.

She punched out the black image and added Versamark and glitter, then punched out the orange stamped image with a larger circle punch. Dimensionals were used to adhere the glitzy cat on the larger circle, and then it was layered on top of a scallop-punched circle.

A little ribbon and some beads from the Pretties Kit finishes up these spooky ornaments.

One of Theresa's customers won a drawing for this fantastic tree, and will be proudly displaying it for Halloween. Lucky lady!

Fall into Autumn

Cooler temperatures here in the deep South have me looking forward to the changing of the leaves that's to come. So far, the only leaves that have "changed" are the ones that are falling off because of the extended drought we've had this summer.

The sample above uses a stamp set that is not only appropriately called "Autumn Fest" but is also part of the Fall Frenzy promotion. You can get this stamp set at 30% off with a purchase of only $30...but you have to place your order by September 28th to qualify for this special!

The sentiment "love you" is one of the images in the Short and Sweet stamp set.

Mmmm....crisp air, falling leaves....hot chocolate, anyone?
