Happy HalloweenTrendy TwineGuest Designer

Hello everyone...

Whoo Hoo! 

I am so excited for today's post...I get to be a

Guest Designer for Trendy Twine again!

As many of you know, Trendy Twine is

my all time favorite Twine choice so 

this is a big deal for me!

I decided to showcase a couple of 
awesome colors called

"Orange Licorice" and "Black Licorice"

So, I decided to make candy jars for my Mom!  

Here's my project for this special

Halloween Post!

I filled two Hillbilly Wine Glasses with

White and Orange candies.

I cut the faces in vinyl  

from the Silhouette Studio,

I used "Orange Licorice" and "Black Licorice"

Trendy Twine to wrap around the top

of the jar just under the lid.

I changed out the regular lids to black ones.

It was such an easy and cute project that

I plan to do again for maybe a Christmas project.

and many other must have items, click HERE!

for allowing me to crash your Halloween Party and 

Guest Design for you again this year!

VampireHalloween Treats

Hello Everyone!

Well, it's getting closer and closer now...

Halloween! My favorite time of year :)

Here is one more cute little project that

I made just for the occasion!

Hope you like it...

(Click on the pic to enlarge)

I used the Vampire file from 

Miss Kate Cuttables, put it on

a cute tag and attached it to a

skinny treat bag full of gumballs.

The sentiment is from

the Jaded Blossom stamp set called

"Halloween Treats"

Hope you enjoyed my Vampire

project today :)

Please leave a comment. You know

how I love to read them all.

Happy Halloween!

Halloween Mummy

Hello Everyone!

I LOVE Halloween and I'm getting

kind of sad that it's almost here and gone.

Since there are only a couple more days to

post Halloween projects, I thought I would 

share this cute little card I made.

Here it is...

Wobble

Isn't this adorable?  I love it!

I used the Cute Mummy from 

Miss Kate Cuttables.

I created this shape card from 

one of the Tags from Miss Kate's 

Tags and Backgrounds set and created

an inset shadow layer.  Then I used 

the spider web border from Miss Kate's 

Spider Borders set. Once it was all 

together, I added the sentiment from

the Goosebumps! stamp set from 

Scrappy Mom's and

finished it off with a fun Action Wobble

that I got from the Queen's 

Royal Castle Shoppe.  

Hope you like my little card I made...

Please leave a comment.  You know how I

love to read them all :)

Happy Halloween!

Playing with myAir Eraser...

Hi Everyone!

Playing with my Air Eraser again.

I made these cute little gifts.  I think they 

turned out pretty good.  I wanted to try out

the new Rub & Buff that I just got.

Here they are...

(Click on the pic to enlarge)

Starbucks coffee jar cleaned out and reused

Used White Rub & Buff on the candycane

Christmas Ornament from Michaels

Used Pewter Rub & Buff on the snowflake 

Little spice jar from Michaels

Used White Rub & Buff on the snowflake

All you do is Rub the wax paint (Rub & Buff) over the etched

image and it adheres to it.  It won't adhere to the

smooth glass.  I left it sit for less than a minute

and "Rubbed and Buffed" off the excess.  It really makes 

the etching pop.  This is just for decorative purposes.  It 

won't do well on something that is washed often.

I sure love this Air Eraser.

Hope you enjoyed my projects today :)

Have a GREAT Day!

Breast CancerAwarenessEtched Glasses

Hello Everyone!

Well, I finally made the switch

from Etching Cream to an

Air Eraser...

WHY didn't I do this a looooong time ago?

This is my first project using 

my new toy.

I etched this ribbon onto a couple

of champagne glasses to

send to a friend of mine. I used my new 

Air Eraser that I got 

at Harbor Freight this weekend.

What an amazing difference it was 

from using cream.  

It was so fast and easy and the 

design came out so clear.  If you 

are using cream, I urge you to 

invest in an Air Eraser.

I can't wait to make more etched glass

gifts.  For now, I have to get these

in the mail :)

Hope you liked my post today.  Please

leave me a comment.  You know how I love

to read them !

Have a GREAT Day!

ThanksgivingLollipop Holders

Hello Everyone!

It's Fall and I'm loving it...

My favorite time of year.

I have been working on some 

Lollipop Holders for your 

Fall Festivities...

Last year, I made a cute little Mayflower

3D Place card holder for my Thanksgiving table.

Click HERE to see it and get all the details. 

So, to go along with last year's theme, 

I decided to make a Mayflower

Lollipop Holder along with a

Pumpkin and a Pilgrim Hat.

They turned out really cute
