Halloween

This is my Punker son. He wanted to be a punk rocker for Halloween. We went to a Halloween party and another boy was Michael Jackson. Well, you can see here he is stricking a pose as Michael. He thinks he is too cool in these shades!























This is Calyn wearing the Michael Jackson wig. She is too cute!

More Delightful Decorations

This is another card I made using the Delightful Decorations stamp set. I used the Shimmer paint again but this time I stamped the image in the ink and then turned it over and dabbed the Shimmer paint on it before stamping it onto the paper.

Same colors and accessories as my last Delightful Decorations post.

Enjoy,

Delightful Decorations

This is a card that I made for my club meeting last month and then did not use. I used Delightful Decortation stamp set from the Holiday mini, along with the ornament punch that matched that set. Thank you Stampin' Up! for that punch. I just loath cutting things out!

I also used the shimmer paint on the stamped image. I used a dauber to add the shimmer paint to the image once it was stamped on the cardstock. I inked the small flower in shimmer paint and then stamped on the colored cardstock. It gives a cool shiny versamark effect.

Materials:

Stamps: Delightful Decorations
C/S: Old Olive, WW
Ink: Old Olive, Real Red
Accessories: Ornament punch, Shimmer paint, DSP Christmas Cocoa Speciality, Gold cord

Enjoy!

Disneyland in October











I promised my Mom that I would get some photos uploaded so that she could see the kids, they are in Mexico until mid December. This is our Disneyland trip that we took October 22nd. We went with another family that we are good friends with. A great time was had by all. This is our 3rd consecutive year going to Disneyland in the fall. The parks are decorated for the fall with pumpkins, scarecrows and all the fall things, even the characters are done up for the Halloween/Fall season. Here we are with Minney Mouse and Calyn is in her "Minney" ears.

Hayden smiles as we wait in line for a ride. The last picture is our of family outside "Mr. Toad's wild ride.

Enjoy!

Halloween Matchbox

Hi Stampers,

This is a project I made for my Stamper's club last month. It was all about Halloween. We made 4 projects: two cards and two treat containers. This is one of the treat containers. You can fit about 5 of the small size chocolate bars in here.

I used the Spooky Treats rub-ons and added a rhinestone to the eye. I popped the rhinestone out of the metal so that it was a more flat fit on the box.

Materials:

C/S: Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie
Accessories: Matchbox die, Spooky Treats rub-ons, rhinestone, Pumpkin Pie Striped ribbon, Cast-a-Spell DSP, Sticky Strip

Enjoy,
Elyse
