TREATS FOR TEENS

One more post today. My two boys are teenagers, so they don't go door to door anymore on Halloween. I wanted to give them a little something in celebration of this spooky day! They both love Hershey Chocolate Bars, so I wrapped them with some design paper and added some ribbon along with a sweet Halloween image and some fun money! A quick and easy small gift.

Please Forgive Me

Hello! I am posting a card today that I did for the Ways To Use It challenge over at www.splitcoaststampers.com. We were to create a faux tile background. I scored my panel then

stamped and sponged. I found a wonderful tutorial here http://thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com/?p=6257. The splitcoast gallery has some stunning creations using the faux tile technique. Check it out if you have a few extra minutes. I used a cute digital set called Funny Little Things by Studio 313. It can be found at www.mcmahonfivedesign.com. I sure have been using the brown and pink combination quite a bit lately! I will try and change it up next time!! :)

Dot Your I's With Cupcakes!

Today I did a card for the clean and simple challenge over at www.splitcoaststampers.com. We were to make a card with cupcakes. Well, I just made a card on Friday using cupcakes, but you can never have enough birthday cards around...right?! Anyways, I used a cupcake from the digital set called Cupcake Cuties 2 by Studio 313 and it can be found at www.mcmahonfivedesign.com. The beauty of working with digital stamps is the fact that you can size them to fit your project! I sized down this darling birthday cupcake so I could "dot" my "i"! The inside of the card says Happy Birthday.
