Boo! Who

Don't Cry
It's only a card...heehee

Good day to you all blogger fans
it's Thursday 
that means I get to post a project for you all to enjoy

Today I have applied chalk directly to white card stock
I really love the Teddy Bear colored chalk
it's just a perfect color to go with
craft colored card stock...


The "Boo!" stamp is by Mark's Finest Papers a Heinrich co
their new release this month...It's a darling stamp set...go check it out...

I am not sure exactly what this card truly is but I think it's pretty cute...
I have asked a few peps what they think it is...
well my made it too look like a mummy
but others think it looks like a little peeper behind a wall...
lol its cute no matter what they say...

Happy Chalk'n 
enjoy your day...

Successful Workshop Yesterday....

OMG, wow
that's about what I have to say about yesterdays workshop

we have a local Stampin' Up Rep that does a monthly workshop
We pay $10 and get to make 2 of each 4 cards
Yesterday was so much fun
as I was the hostess of the mostest...lol...
No really I was just there to have a good time
I did not think many peps would buy 
as it's not yet time to buy for those Christmas cards...

so anyway I made a few of the 
Witches Hats and Broom Sticks




That is a FREE SVG file over at 
Mary and Leo ... you have done a great job ... 
as I always say
this is wonderful...
The sentiments are by 
Marks Finest Papers a Heinrich Co
they have a few new stamps to look forward too...so keep your eyes open for those projects...

Here are some more pictures of the hats and brooms that I made

 I made 15 hats and 12 broom sticks...


Are they not just the cutest...they have a dum dum sucker in the middle
of each the Witches hat and the broom stick...
the hat is an SVG file and must be cut using an electronic
die cut machine but the broom sticks are just an easy peasy
thing to put together...a little time and some patience you too
can have some broom sticks to give those special trick or treaters

To make the broom sticks take the crepe paper streamer stuff
the roll, you know what I am talking about right...
OK, then cut a length of about 12 inches off 
  at about every 1/8 inch cut a slit almost to the end,
you will learn by trial and error what works best for your broom
but then when you have it all 'frayed' for a better word then
tape or glue one end with the solid end just above the suckers top,
not the end of the stick, just above the sucker with the 'frade' end down
I used dum dum suckers cuz they are cheap and you get tons
but this would work for just about any sucker...
start wrapping...you want to keep it kind of loose again trial and error
then when all wrapped up tape the end closed to itself...
straighten the broom stuff down and tie a ribbon, twine, or 
like I did a piece of yarn to look like the broom
add a tag with a sentiment or just leave it plain,
I also added a piece of ribbon to the top of the sucker/broom
and that was cute too...it was the ribbon that said
'Happy Halloween'
just taped to the other end of the sucker...

Well back to my story about the workshop, heehee
at the end of the workshop the hostess, just like hosting a party gets
goodies...well I got a goodie bag before the party began
from the Rep and boy was it full of fun stuff too...
but anyway again not thinking much of the money part
I knew I had a few items of interest but maybe only be able
to get a few cuz the party would not get much...
well I was WRONG
those peps spent alot of money...
alot to the point I got 
2 items at half off
and $80 of Hostess money...
so my few items turned into EVERYTHING
I wanted and even more...I was banging my head 
trying to wrap up the workshop and pick my goodies...
so anyway I just wanted to say thanks to all the 
great people that made it to the workshop
and to buying what supplies you needed.
What a fun surprise that was...
I was told to plan for about 10 peps
and there were 15 that showed up

oh wow long story...
Thanks for the GREAT workshop Bernice
your awesome too...
and thank you to my dear friend Linda for 
driving 1 1/2 hours to come to my party...you rock...
Here are the cards/projects we made at the workshop...
Great job Bernice to for wonderful ideas you give us each month...



What a fun day...
Well I will see you all tomorrow with a new 
Marks Finest Papers a Heinrich co Project...

TTFN!!!

holidays too...we will see

This stamp is by Riley Stamps

It's darling too...I don't know that I stayed with the humor but oh well

Punkin Patch Stamps...they also make all my wonderful SVG files that
I create from...oh I love Mary and Leo...what a neat couple...

I also used My Minds Eye card stock for the fancy orange colors. But all the rest is made using
AC Card stock... I used a Sizzix, cracked glass, embossing folder.

Let's Talk ...

... about Chalk ...
heehee
well you can add chalk to ANY project to give it a shine
or make it the background color or even color in the image with chalk
it's so awesome to play with ...
I get to play with it every week over at Chalk N Stock Challenge Blog
and we would like you to join us on the challenge each 2 weeks ...

I have a new card I created, it is NOT my original idea
I got it off YouTube but I did measure and create the cut file for it ...
as so I can cut it using my Cameo...I don't do scissors ... lol
Here is the card closed with the bakers twine band to keep the 
gate fold card closed...
Now I start to open the card...
 a little more...
 Now do you see the Magic...
The stamp is behind a hidden door...
yeah I think they called it the 
Magic Card? oh no I don't remember... oops
oh well I spent lots of time to create a cut file for it...
and I love how it turned out...
Now to show how the chalk was used...
yep you guessed it...over the boots to 'wear' them out and 
to make the sparkle...they have some teddy bear chalk then 
stardust chalk over the tops...it's so hard to show you sometimes
how the chalk can add such a small addition to the project...
but I guess it's a trust issue...heehee...trust me it's there and it looks good...
Well I hope you have enjoyed my Magic Card today...I hope to make many more
of these cards...they are way fun...
If you are interested in the Studio file let me know and leave an email addy
I will try to email it out to those that request it...
I am not a pro at the whole create a file to share but I would love to share this one...

It's from the
Fall Harvest SVG Kit
over at SVGCuts.com

It's not a hard one to put together, just a bit of time and some paper...you too can make this darling basket...

I used all kinds of elements on this basket...
I used the white flowers I got the other day and colored them with my alcohol markers to get them the colors that would match, oh so fun...
the back is a bit busy but its fun too...
I added lots of 'fall' leaves and a couple of acorns. I had so much fun putting this together...now its your turn to put one of these cute baskets together...show me what you've got...

On a side note, I applied to the Lori Whitlock Design team, so wish me luck...it's kind of a dream team for me to be on, but it will be so much fun if she picks me ... I will try to keep you all posted...

Chalk N Stock New Challenge ... Recycle/Re Purpose

So today starts a new chapter for
You see we have had such a great time...
we have decided to do the bi-weekly challenges on Thursdays

With that will be inspiration from the design team...
In fact we even added a new member to the design team...
Please help us welcome Nikki to the team...
We are so excited to have her a part of the team...

Well this challenge is all about Recycling...

so I had a hard time coming up with something...

but then....

I thought of a little trick to try..
AND it worked
so I will share it with you...

You know all the silly color brads that you get in a package,

and you think to yourself, will I EVER use THAT Color?

Hum so I got to thinking and thought that 
Alcohol markers will stain just about anything 
they come in contact with...


so...
I colored the brad the desired color, black
chalked my new white flowers...
yeah white...I got white cuz I can make them ANY color I want
with Chalk, Markers, Ink, just about anything will color them...


 added the colored brad the the center of the flower

TADAH!!!
here is my  project...recycled/re purposed, improved brads



so do not waste the color brads you will never use..
recycle or re purpose them to something you will use...
I love it... what about you...
