Spider Halloween Treats

I adore Stampin Up's Curvy Keepsake Box!  When I saw all the cute ideas using this thinlet die - I had to get it.  I made these to give away at work to the kids who might come in.  We didn't get many kids so I gave them to the staff!  Aren't they a hoot!  The idea wasn't mine- I saw it several times by different people on Pinterest. 

 

Just as a quick follow up-  the office selected the Christmas card they want to make this year!  I sort of threw a wrench into the selection when I threw into the mix the card below.   I didn't even take a picture of it with the others because I didn't dream they would pick it ....but they did!  Our card this year is the Origami Christmas Tree!   Tada!

 

 

Most of my craft room has been packed away with just a few items left so that I can make my own Christmas cards.  I can't tell you how much I miss it already.  I will show you what it looks like in my next post. 

Take care!

 

 

Fairy Garden House!

I have been playing with some of my new stuff from my order from Stampin Up!  I love the Curvy Keepsake die!  I have seen sooo many cute
ideas from Pinterest.   But it always reminded me of a Fairy House.  Here is my idea of a little garden house for Gnomes or Fairies!

 

I did use 2 embossing folders to give it some texture.  The butterfly is from Martha Stewart.

Here are some of the items I used to make my Fairy House.

On another note, my sisters and I went to Hobby Lobby in Bangor!  We had not been there before so it was a real treat!  We spent 2 hours going aisle to aisle just to see what they had!  It was fun!  Here are a few pictures-

 

I love these waiters!

Burlap is another favorite!

How many days til Christmas?

Beautiful!

Don't you love sunflowers?

  Sorry for the long post- but I wanted to share the Birthday card I made for our daughter, Emily.  She and her husband, Rob, are waiting for the birth of their son!  He is due any day now!  I can't wait to meet him!!  Anyway, I was inspired by a similar card on Pinterest.  I used Graphic 45 paper- my favorite- to make this card.   I added some bling to make it pop!  I hope she liked it!  Have a fabulous week!
