CURVY KEEPSAKES DIE FOR HALLOWEEN!

Here are some Halloween-Themed Treat Boxes "That Michelle" and I made with the Curvy Keepsakes Box Thinlits Dies.

Have a Happy and Safe Halloween!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I think this is the cutest Halloween treat idea!

I saw this on Lorri Heilig's blog (click here to view her post), and I think it is so cute!  

The card stock is cut to 2 3/4″ x 6″ and scored at 3/4″, 3 1/2″ and 3 3/4″;  the pumpkin faces were cut with her Silhouette machine, and the eyes were made with Life Savers and 1/2″ punch

RELAX AND CREATE RETREAT VASE!

Another Relax and Create Retreat project.  This is a simple, easy-to-create vase with a tealight inside.  We used the Endless Wishes Photopolymer Stamp Set and some Momento Ink.  Simply random stamp images onto a piece of tissues paper.  Then apply Mod Podge all over the vase and wrap the tissue paper around the vase, pressing it into the Mod Podge.  It only takes a few minutes to try, and you an accessorize it with a ribbon!  This is a great quick and easy gift idea.

NEW STAMPIN' UP! WEEKLY DEALS!

STAMPIN' UP! TINY TREAT BOXES FILLED WITH COFFEE AND CHOCOLATES!

I designed this little holder for the Tiny Treat Boxes in the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog as a project for the Relax and Create Retreat.  One box is full of chocolates and the other has a KCup in it.   The holder is made with the Under the Tree Specialty Designer Series Paper from the Holiday Catalog, and that is the perfect paper to use, because it is nice and strong and supports both of the Tiny Treat Boxes.  The little Christmas Tree is cut using the Snowflake Card Thinlits Dies Framelits, as well as the word "joy" on the top of the box. And the little dangling snowflake is one of the All Is Calm Snowflake Embellishments, also in the Holiday Catalog.  To top it all off, I added a little Cherry Cobbler 1" Sheer Linen Ribbon to the top.  This is the perfect little treat for a co-worker, teacher, bus driver....

RELAX AND CREATE RETREAT FUN!

Janet, Joyce and Jane workin' on their "Family" frame!

Our "helper", Beth, sharing some help and guidance with Beverly, as she made her Mini Photo Book!

Saturday was Retreat day, and we had so much fun!  Special "thank you" shout out to Beth and "That Michelle" for all of their help making the day so special; to Keri for joining me in hosting this event and to all the wonderful ladies who joined us while we relaxed and created and chatted and ate...  I think it was a great day.  Lots of ladies asked me when the next one would be, so I assume they were having as much fun as I was.

Be sure to stop by this week, as I will be sharing the projects we made.

IT IS GOOD TO BE HOME!

WOW!  I think I may be getting too old to celebrate with my family.  Perhaps, I need to just not plan an entire week of celebrating?  I am glad to be home and ready to get back to work.  I was able to get together with a friend today, and I share below what we made.   I have a Retreat going on this Saturday, so there will be lots to accomplish this week.  I look forward to sharing what is happening in the Rubber Room this week.  Be sure to stop by often!

STAR BOXES!

My dear demonstrator friend, Nancy, and I got together today to play for the last time before she leaves to spend her winter in the sunshine state.  She shared with me the secret to these boxes!

This is a top-view of the boxes.  They actually open up so you can put little things inside!

We made three different size boxes, and we used the Bright and Beautiful Stamp Set in the Holiday Catalog, as well as the coordinating Stars Framelits Dies in the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.  You could use these as ornaments too, or maybe fill with potpourri for a little sachet to toss in your drawer and keep your clothes smelling nice.   Thank you for sharing your talents with me, Nancy!

NO REST FOR THE WEARY!

This girl is headed up north tomorrow to spend a few days celebrating my mom's 75th birthday with her.  I probably will not be posting to my blog, as we  have a lot of things planned.  I hope you enjoy a wonderful time while I am away.

Be sure to stop by next week to see all the great things I enjoyed at the Creative Escape this past weekend.

GENTLE SEASON PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET!

I SURVIVED CREATIVE ESCAPE!

I made it home safe and sound!  Thank you, Lisa Brown, for seeing to my safe travels this weekend.  I had a terrific time with lots of stamping buds, and on Saturday evening I got to see my brother and his friend.  I managed to accomplish quite a bit and I even got some sleep in.  I had a wonderful time!  Huge thank you to Ronda and her helpers for making Creative Escape so relaxing and fun and for spoiling me!  You ladies are the best.

THIS CURVY KEEPSAKE BOX WILL MELT YOUR HEART!

He is a "Frosty" character that will warm your heart on those snowy winter days here in Michigan!  I think I will fill him with those little coffee candies or maybe some miniature marshmallows and candy kisses.  Maybe I should line three of them up together and put different color scarves on each of them...  so dang cute, I cannot stop myself!  Okay, now I know you seriously have to order the Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlits Dies.  But, if I am wrong, come back tomorrow and I will try yet again to persuade you!

BEAUTY OF THE SEASON STAMPIN' UP! STAMP SET!

This is a box "That Michelle" made for me.  She used the Beauty Of The Season Stamp Set in the Holiday Catalog to make this gorgeous cardinal.  Inside there is some Crumb Cake Card Stock that she has cut with her fringe scissors so it looks like a little next, and then there are chocolate eggs inside.  Have you decided you need this Thinlits Die yet?  Well, if you have, use the link below 24/7 to order it from my online store.  And, if you haven't, I will be back tomorrow with another box to help you decide you need this Thinlits Die.

SO, SO SORRY!

I am so very sorry I missed posting yesterday, and I am making up for it by sharing two Curvy Keepsake Boxes with you today.

I am heading out of town this afternoon for a weekend filled with stamping fun in Lansing.  This is a great weekend, which I try to attend every year.  I really, really enjoy the weekend away and I get to see friends I have made in past years and make new friends and travel with friends, and stamp and do make and take projects and get thoroughly spoiled by our hostesses.  I willingly admit, though, that when the weekend is over, I need a few days of resting from all the activity.  Don't worry, I do not let that slow me down at all!!

I do have some posts scheduled for the weekend~~more Curvy Box FUN!!

Have a great weekend, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I am going to enjoy mine.

PENGUIN CURVY KEEPSAKE BOX!

I think this little guy is simply adorable!  These boxes are so simple to make, it is unbelievable.  You start with the Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlits Dies, available in the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog, and then you simply add punches and maybe some sponging.  For this guy we used the Wide Oval Punch, the Modern Label Punch and the Owl Builder Punch.  We did use the gel pen to add a little white definition to the eyes.  You can also use googly eyes.
