First Day of School

Hello Ladies,

I haven't posted in a while. Between my daughter's birthday and my kids starting preschool, time has flown by. However, I have been stamping (A LOT!) even though I haven't posted. No matter how busy I get I always make room for it ;)!

Today was my kids first day of preschool. I made each of them a pencil box and a card. I also made their teachers a choclate box and card each. These items were made with the First Day stamp set in the Summer Mini. It is only $23.95 for wood mount or $17.95 for clear mount (+tax and shipping) I love this stamp set. It is only available until the end of August. If you like it contact me fast to order it. Next, I am going to make a First Days memory album with this stamp set to capture each of their first days. They absolutely loved their goodies! I love how much they appreciate these things.

On a side note, they did great! Both of them ran in and were happy to stay. I on the other hand was nervous, but I tried really hard to hide it and make it a special morning for them. I am so excited for them. Sad, too because they are getting big...but mostly excited. I loved school as a kid and hope they do too. Okay, enough about this because it is making me teary eyed!

Have a great Monday!

Halloween Ideas from Convention

One of my favorite parts of Convention was the dozens of demonstrations of holiday projects. It is now August and I have already spent a few weeks thinking of Halloween and Christmas projects! I can't help it, I love holiday projects;) LOL For the past two years my husband has gone all out on Halloween. He decorates, creates a haunted house...he basically goes crazy! So when they featured an entire hour on Halloween home decor projects I was in HEAVEN. The pumkin project was my favorite. The words are Definately Decorative elements that you simply rub on the pumkins. Easy! The jewels are pre-swirled on a sheet and you just cut them and put them on the pumkin with a transfer sheet. Super easy too.

With the same sheet of Definately Decorative Halloween elements Brent (the SU presenter) made luminaries, like the one above. Imagine those on your door steps!

This Haunted House is my second favorite project. It is a pre-cut build a house item that will be in the Holiday Mini in September. When you look in the mini catalog it is decorated for Christmas as a Gingerbread House. Brent spray painted it black, sprinkled some SU Dazzling Diamonds and added some bats he made with the new bat punch. How COOL is that! He didn't stop there, he then added vellum to the window and added a flicker candle inside.

This was a skeleton garland he made and dazzled it up with chunky glitter.

And of course, there has to be favors filled with candy at any Halloween event. Here are some cute ones. Don't you love the adorable witch hats!

All of these products are available in the Holiday Mini coming out on September 1st. Do you want me to mail you a Holiday Mini? Email me (mayramt@hotmail.com) your name and home address and I will send you one in September.

I can also teach you how to make these projects when you host a workshop.

Enjoy!
