I should be posting about Fall, Halloween, Back to school, but this is the mood I am in!  I will challenge myself.  Actually I am so due to create a scrapbook page for my daughters.

I have to say, looking at this picture, my waffle paper needs to be fixed.  It was pretty.  So if you get this swap from me, making sure it's all ruffled!

These are prettier in person, I get to swap with 10 other demonstrators + 1 extra for Chrystal!  I have to confess, my mother in law decided to have a little retreat with all her granddaughters, so my girls have been gone all afternoon, for the night and part of tomorrow, I had to do some stamping.  It was so fun!  I was suppose to do major cleaning in my stamp room but I had so much fun creating different projects instead.  How do I get so messy?

Here is a close up for you.  I hope you enjoy my Christmas tags! Even if it's September, it's never to early to start your Christmas cards and tags.

I finally learned how to post with my MAC, thank you Jo-Ann for your precious time the other night.  I couldn't figure how to paste my watermark.  And I love having it there especially when my kids picture is on a page.  Good bye PC!

Had a lovely dinner tonight with my husband and some friends, now I just can't sleep so I decided to post and maybe it will make me sleepy!

For being so patient, my post today will be a double one and you are going to be pleased.  First of all I had created for my Sudsol swaps this first project.  It was also to be featured on Marvelous Monday's.  I just love the turn out and hope my Sudsol swappies will love it too.

Blythe was the hostess, and I have to admit she is really a sweet lady for accommodating me on such short notice.  You have to see my post on the weekend and see why I have been so busy.  Not only back to school but I have been working on something big lately.  Ok enough chatting!

The first card is for the demonstrators that participated in the swap.  I made 40 babies of these.

The second card is my upgrade and this one is for my hostess, Blythe.  Sometimes, adding just a few accessories can bring a card to the next level.  Simply elegant!

 Next post coming soon + you get a picture of my kids on there first day of school yesterday!

This is a tag for those large gifts that you just can’t wrap properly.  I used my favorite bigz clear die, scallop square and used the on board book basics as my background chipboard #110713 and the specialty designer series paper, christmas cocoa specialty from the mini catti.  Glued them together using my tombo glue.  I took the vintage ornaments I stencils from the definitely decorative catti and dabbed chocolate chip ink in my stencil.  I then added my second stencil and put some stencil paste to create a 3D image.  Why?  Because my husband said it wasn’t popping out enough… And he was right!  I hate to admit it but he is pretty good at commenting on my projects.  Try it with your husband let me tell you some interesting ideas come out.  My stencil paste was white but when it dried it had a little greenish color which I didn’t like at all so I dabbed some chocolate chip ink on my paste and needed to also add a little champagne mist shimmer paint.  And voilà!

 Here is my close up picture!  Vintage it is.  Then I added a mini tag from the stamp set Four the holidays and I added 1 1/4" striped grosgrain ribbon in chocolate chip.

.

Second tag was very simple and quick to do.  I saw this die at convention and had  to order it.  It’s exclusive to stampin’up!, Stampin’up! Two tags.  I decorated it with the specialty designer series paper, christmas cocoa specialty from the mini catti. When you touch this paper it feels like felt.  I punched out a snowflake from the Jumbo snowflake  punch and added some frost white shimmer paint.  Let me tell you, you can go a long way with that shimmer paint.  I have been using it like crazy!  I had to add my final touch a pearl from the pretties kit and 5/8" satin ribbon.   And for all the ladies in my group, I personalized all your tags.

I printed the names on my computer matching my ink to the stampin’up! colors RGB codes.

That is my share for the day, have a great one!
