Happy Halloween!

Susan sent me this card a while ago and I thought I would save it to share on Halloween day. Love the card Susan....Happy Halloween everyone...hope you get lots of good treats and no tricks!

jar full

Doreen sent me this Halloween card and I love the simplicity of the pumpkins inside the canning jar. So cute Doreen! Love that washi tape too!

spoooky....

My sister sent me this cute Halloween card using all amuse studio products. I love the little ghosties peeking out from behind the RIP. So many products used to make this card...super fantastic!

pillow boxes

Making candy pillow boxes for my craft shows coming up this weekend. Come on out to St. John's in Harrison for a delicious turkey dinner and craft/vendor show in the gym. I will be set up there with some cute items for all your secret santa needs!

birthday wishes

This is the card I sent Doreen on her birthday. I feel bad that it was late getting to her but it is the thought that counts...right Doreen?  

more tiles

Here are a few more designs we made using stazon ink and some great stamp sets. This is one of my favorites we made...love the two color look.

White stazon on black glazed tiles is so beautiful. Everyone is going to love these.

sweet birthday

I made this card for my boss' birthday. She will be celebrating her "sweet" birthday this weekend. The hey cupcake stamp set is great for making fabulous cards. I love the mermaid paper in all styles...solid, chevron, and pinstripe! 

tile coasters

These tile coasters make great gifts. I am helping my boss make a variety of these for her family's holiday get together. You can make your own by using your favorite stamp set and Stazon ink. You can find the tiles at Lowes or Home Depot. These tiles were purchased at a tile store. I love the look of the white Stazon on these slate tiles. 

more treats

Working on more nugget treats for upcoming craft shows. These are much cuter in person...the pic does not do them justice. I just love making these treats!

thank you

Here is a simple thank you card using washi tape. 

One of my favorite sentiment stamp sets is the thank you mix.

 Everyone needs this in their stash.

happy birthday

Miss Emily is celebrating her birthday!

It is my daughter, Emily's birthday today! She is 22 years old. I made a card similar to this for my other daughters birthday last month and loved it so much I did another for Emily using different colors. The itty bitty birthday set is perfect for this as well as the let's get merry set. Happy birthday Emily!

tiny packs

I covered tiny packs of Orbit gum with petite polka dot cardstock, added a punched snowflake and a tiny red jewel. I think these turned out adorable. A great little stocking stuffer.

on my nice list...

Working on items for upcoming craft shows...these nugget packs are always a huge hit at every show. I love coming up with new designs each year and this year turned out very cute.

A fun event

I was in Columbus on Wed. visiting my sister-in-law and her friend Doreen. We all went to a fundraising event/luncheon and had a great time supporting the Christ Child Society and do a little shopping. To top the afternoon off we enjoyed a great fashion show.

The tables were beautiful!

We enjoyed a delicious lunch and dessert was provided in the form of a cookie decorated to go with the theme of the days events. The cookies were quite delicious!

So glad to have joined Melissa and Doreen for the day.

trick or treat banner

Another treat my sister gave me was this Halloween banner she made using the banner die and a variety of amuse studio products. I have it hanging in my kitchen. I love how her mind works and how she creates such wonderful treasures. Thanks Shari!

trick or treat candy box

My sister ROCKS! 

She created this amazing little candy box using all amuse products (excludes box and candy). She painted the box black and then cut out a piece of wood for the back and designed the haunted Halloween scene...so cute. My favorite part is how she cut out each little trick or treater. She is very talented at what she does. The detail cannot be appreciated in a picture. Thank you Shari for such a wonderful "treat"!

thank you...

I love it when one of my stamp club friends will send me a photo of one of their creations. Casey used one of my favorite stamp sets from amuse....friend to friend. The kraft cardstock is very popular and she did a great job on her card. Thank you Casey for sharing with us.

Karen's workshop

Karen was our surprise hostess for Sunday's workshop. 

We started out with our decorated mats.

I seem to always find the perfect napkins for the occasion. 

We always have delicious snacks...this I found on facebook...it was so yummy!

Our projects of the day!

Getting down to business....great projects, great friends, lots of laughs and and a whole lot of fun!

Thanks ladies for a wonderful afternoon of stamping. Regina...we will see you the next go around!

sneak peek...

Amuse studio workshop today....just a little snippet of what you will be making today. Come back tomorrow to see the actual projects made...betcha can't wait!

fall flowers

This is the beautiful vase of flowers Kelsey and Emily gave me yesterday. I love having them as my centerpiece for my dinner table. Thank you girls!

good luck

I made this card for both of the girls that were here for 8 weeks doing their clinicals. I gave them each a Roell family cookbook so they will always remember their time spent with us and all the dinners we had together. Best of Luck to Kelsey, Emily and of course our own miss Alison!

something wicked this way comes...

The toil and trouble set from amuse studio brings back memories from my kids when they were small. They would always sing the song "double double toil and trouble, fires burning cauldrons bubble..." This set  makes the perfect Halloween card and it is on the October spotlight at a savings of 10% off!

Cat Luminary

This cat luminary is made with amuse studio vellum and popcorn box die....it is so awesome!

These would make darling table decorations for your next Halloween party!

boot support

I made these boot supports for both my daughters for their birthdays. I bought swim noodles and cut them into thirds using an electric knife... not just for carving your turkey...it cut through the swim noodle with ease!  They can now put them inside their boots to keep them upright. 

let's get cookin'

My daughter made this darling apron in one of her OT classes. 

I just love how cute it is...great choice of fabric! 

She is ready for holiday baking. 

you rock!

My nephew is celebrating his birthday this week and thanks to Chelsea Comer for a great idea for a birthday card. I made mine slightly different but all the same it "rocks"! Thanks Chelsea!
