other things other than crafting.... I'm now in Holiday mode as I prepare my Thrift Store

at thrift stores for Christmas! We sell lots of new/like new stuff for a lot less than

 and I LOVE all Digital Paper from Echo Park (& reg. paper too)....

way it turned out! :o)

Special Halloween Gift....

Hello and HAPPY HALLOWEEN Everyone! Today's the BIG DAY for all

those adorable Trick or Treaters out there! But for me its a different kind of

day... It's a very special day for one of my very good friends! Her name is

MiMi! And Noooo it's not my sister MiMi... it's my girlfriend of 8 yrs. MiMi....

50 years ago today she was born! So today I'm gonna celebrate her! :o)

This morning I have surprise balloons showing up at her work... with

the sentiments of Happy Birthday in Orange & Black and some

"Over the Hill" balloons as well... You know I gotta throw that in there!

I mean she 1/2 a century old now! LOL I also sent her a cute gift

basket that has funny things in it... like a pill box, tums, gasX.... you

know those fun things! I know she'll love it! But besides that....

I'm making her a special Birthday dinner.... I have my oldest boy taking

my youngest boy out trick or treating so I can host a small get together

with some of our friends! Oh.... and I made her a couple of things

that I'm gonna show you right now! :o)

 

WARNING:

(This is a picture Heavy Post)

 

 

TADA!!! I made all of these for her!

 

Let's start with the card....

I made this in my Silhouette...

Card stock - Stampin' Up

Digital Designer Paper - Echo Park

Halloween Baker's Twine

Sentiment - Computer Generated

Ghost House - Miss Kate Cuttables

 

I Cut & Print out 2 of the spooky houses and

popped them up....

 

The inside sentiment is computer generated....

Some of the sentiment is from my Hallmark Program.....

 

 

 

 This is the very first time I've ever used Mod Podge!

I know... CRAZY... Right?

I purchased the clip board and the ruffled ribbon at

my local True Value.... The ribbon was on clearance

for 59 cents and the Clip board was $2

I used: Imaginisce Halloween Paper

Bakers Halloween twine

Orange Spray paint

Stampin' Up Black ribbon

Pen is from a pack I got at Walmart

I punched 2 holes in the paper and threaded the ribbon through

I used my hot glue gun to attach the ruffle trim

And I attached the twine to the pen using

Scotch Quick Dry glue

 

I covered the back of the Clip board too... I glued the paper

down with the Mod Podge.... Then after it dried I

used more Mod Podge to seal it.... I did paint the border first

and after I applied the paper I did sand it down before the sealing......

 

 

I so LOVE how this turned out! Since she was born

on Halloween, she told me it was her favorite holiday...

So I went with that as my "Theme Gift" for her....

I created the letters with my Silhouette

using the letter boxes....

The Card stock is all Stampin' Up 12 x 12

The Designer Paper is DCWV

 

I used a Halloween Shaker I had gotten from Walmart

a long time ago and Some Orange Tulle...

The Glitter Spider I purchased from Hobby Lobby

and added some Doodlebug Designs Gems....

 

Again I added Tulle... this time it's a lavender color

and the Doodlebug Gems... The Gem Brad in the

center of the flower is from Karen Foster....

The flower pieces are from Daisy D's

The beaded Pin is from Petaloo... I got that from

Hobby Lobby over by the clearance rack...

 

I love this shaker! :o) again from Wally World.....

The Tulle is Green and another glitter spider.... and

of course a little more orange bling!

 

I've got Black Tulle on this one... All of my Tulle

came from Store Supply Warehouse... A couple more

Gems.... Another beaded pin from Petaloo and

the bat is actually suppose to have "Brad Eyes" but

I changed that and added more orange gems... The bat is from

Oriental Trading.... I've had that a while too... So glad I

found a use for it! The base is spray painted in a lavender

color and I had my hubby cut the piece of wood for me....

I hot glued all the letters to the base.... And that's all she wrote!

 

I really do hope my friend likes her gifts...

I'm very excited to share them with her tonight....

I wish I could say I decorated a bag too...

But.... I didn't... I don't have one big enough

to put the Home Décor "Name" in it....

So, I'll just hand it to her! :o) The dinner I'm making

is Salad, Lasagna, and Brownies for dessert...

I'll let you all know how it turned out!

 

Thanks for making it all the way to the end

of my long winded post! LOL

 

I hope you all have an AWESOME DAY!!!!

Minion Birthday!

Hello and Happy Monday Everyone! I hope you all had

a fabulous weekend! I got some projects done! Yay Me!

I can't wait to show them to you.... but because I made them

for someone.... it'll have to wait til the end of the week!

In the mean time... let me share another card I'm

adding to my card stash....

 

Card stock, Ink - Stampin' Up

Digital Designer Paper - Echo Park

Twine, Stamp, Tag Die - My Craft Spot

Banners, Circle, Green Strip - Silhouette

Minion - Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbon

Balloons - Miss Kate Cuttables

 

I really, really LOVE the Print & Cut feature

on the Silhouette.... I can make a card in minutes

compared to what it normally would take me...

and I save on paper by purchasing Digital Paper

which costs a lot less... And this way my

hubby has noooooo clue how much paper I

really own! hahahaha

 

Oops... I probably shouldn't have typed that last part!

Naaw... it's ok... I know I LOVE paper! :o)

 Any who.... Let me know what ya think of my card!

 

Thanks so much for stopping by and have

an AWESOME DAY!!!
