Happy Halloween!

Well Halloween is now over and the kids had a great time trick or treating.  I must say that there wasn't as many kids as there has been in past years.....Not sure if it was due to the fact Halloween was on a Sat or that is was kinda windy/cold or if people are scared of the H1N1.  The kids ended up getting more treats at some houses as people had so much left over and the kids thought was pretty good.  I find that Halloween being on a Saturday evening is a lot more work than it being during the week when the kids are in school.  It just seemed like we were getting ready all day long just for this evening.  So I'm going to post some pics of my kids on Halloween.  Hope everyone had a great Day!  Tammy

 
   
 

Happy Halloween!

Kendall has a Halloween party to attend tonight so she wanted to make her friend Makayla a card so I promised I would post it. Isn't it cute?

Last night my girls and I made 55 of these Sweet Treat Halloween Centres for Kendall and Skyler's grade 4 classes...they are in separate classes (which I request, but at times like this...I wish I didn't)...anyhow, Lyndsay is home this week as Sheridan has 'reading' week so the three of whipped through making these...they really were quick to make. 

Happy Halloween everyone! TG it's almost over!!

PS. I have an order going in Saturday if anyone has anything, like the Deals of the week, they'd like to order...let me know...Lynda.
 

Halloween

Halloween is just around the corner and the kids will be having there Halloween parties at school on Friday and we finally have the costumes done. Tonight my daughter Jalen and I worked on her Halloween Sweet Center cards.  She did most of the work and a little help from mom.  So now that they are done we just have to carve the pumpkins and still get the goodies.  Hopefully the weather will be on our side and it will be nice for the kids to go out.  Today I'm posting the cards that Jalen made for her classmates.  The orange cards are for the girls and the boys will get the purple ones.  We only used the Stampin up Sweet Center stamp set and the inks Dusty Durango and Rich Razzleberry. The paper is from is Jalen's craft things.  Have a wonderful Thursday.  Tammy

 

Delightful Daisies!

Last week was my Wonderful step-mother, Mary's Birthday! We all went out for dinner Saturday night to celebrate then back to our house for cake. I haven't seen my side of the family for a while, so it was good to see everyone. My niece, Jasmyne has been away at school; my step-brother Paul has been way-to busy to visit and I've been too busy to see my parents...so  I really enjoyed spending time with everyone. We also had the pleasure of some good friend's company, Linda and Hal, who also joined us! It was a great evening!!

Here is the Birthday card I made for my step-mother Mary. She loves yellow flowers and I love this New Big Shot die, 'Flower Daisies #2'. So pretty!

I used the Crushed Curry card stock for the flower and Crushed Curry ribbon, and Brocade Blue for the card. The stem is from the Baroque Motifs stamp set...and the words are from the 'Wonderful Favourites' stamp set.

Let me know what you think of the card...leave me your comments...Lynda

  

New Home

I can't believe Halloween is just a 4 days away and I have so much to do.  I need to figure out what my son is going to wear as he wants to be the Joker from Batman and my daughter is going to be a witch and we already have that costume ready.  We need to make my daughters Halloween cards from the Sweet Centers stamp set this evening.  We also need to carve our small, med and very large pumpkins.  Oh, yes I forgot we need to go and buy our goodies for all the trick or treaters!  I'm going to be busy.....    So on to today's post which is a card that I made for a friend who is in Real Estate who likes to give cards to her clients when they purchase a new home.  I hope she liked the cards that I made for her.  Have a great Tuesday!  Tammy

Another Party Favour

Here is another Party Favour we made at my 'I Love to Stamp Class' the other night. This one is simple! You take a 4 x 11 1/2 piece of cardstock, score the middle at 5 1/4 " then score each end diagonally (looks like a triangle) from 2" (centre top) down to the edge of the centre of the of the card stock (see second picture). Fold along these score lines. Put holes in the centre of the top of each piece, thread a ribbon through, stamp the front as desired and voila!

We learned how to make these 'boxes' at convention!! You could make these for Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day or even a Birthday! Have a super Saturday!!  Lynda

 

 

PS. Visited a NEW store the other day that you NEED to check out - I just love it!! It's called the URBAN BARN and it's located on the East Mountain (Upper Stoney Creek) in the new strip mall where the Michael's, Home Depot etc is located on Stone Church and ?? It is a contemporary furniture and accessories store - reasonably priced but fabulous stuff inside!!

Bought a few things myself and want to go back and buy more. I have no affiliation with the store just wanted to share...here is their website www.urbanbarn.com

Vase of Daisies

Guess What?  It's Friday!  Actually I'm off today and just at home and will soon be making cards.  Let me tell you it's a very good day to make cards because it's raining and cold outside and I have nothing better to do.  Well  I do have so many other things that I could clean and sort out but I decided I would rather make cards. Today I'm posting the Vase of Daisies that I made at Lynda's Big Shot class this past Tuesday night.  It was a little tricky but I think we all had a fun time making them.  I like this class as it's once a month and it's nice to just get out and enjoy the company of others and make great projects.  Alright...it's time for me to go make those cards!  Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!  Tammy  

Another cute basket...

As mentioned in my post on Sunday, I said I would show you the Halloween version of the basket my Stamping class made on Monday...here it is...

 Again it is made using the Big Shot Basket and Blooms Die (idea is from fellow demonstrator Angie Juda, Chic' n Scratch) but modified a bit to be a square basket - much better I think then the round basket it is suppose to be!
