Thanksgiving time....

I found a great blog called justanotherhangup. Suzanne has some great ideas and if you ask nicely she will send you free subway art printout. 

This is the Thanksgiving one I have done so far. I just asked for her December one and will be putting that together..

I went to Joann's and found the 7x7 precut wood plaque and then painted it orange. When I printed out the art onto cream cardstock, I took ink and distressed the paper. The pumpkin came from Targets $ section.

Wait till you see what is coming for Christmas.

Happy Thanksgiving!!
Stephanie

Halloween Hanger

After I made my Boo Banner, I made this hanger. I have gotten excited about making the pinwheels but still learning. I like Halloween and having fun making things for it. ENJOY!

Surfing.......

Well there I was just surfing on blog world and found some wonderful blog candy over at Alpha Stamps News. Enjoy the blog site. I think you will enjoy it. So go over.

Halloween Swap......

Oh the scary things are coming out next month and what a fun time. I am in a swap for Halloween and this is going to be so fun. This swap is over at A Work in Progress by Christine Edwards. I just happen to fall into it one day on my way through blog land. Here are my two projects that I have for the Treat portion:

                                                                 Banner

This was made with chipboard tags, Papertrey Ink new halloween paper, Letters (Target), owl stamp, spiders, old book pages, orange crepe paper, and ribbon.

Next, I made this tree with the pinwheel and letters:

I thought this turned out just great. I found the tree at JoAnn's in the Halloween section. It is plywood , very thin, but did the job. I painted it black and then added the glitter on the edges. I then made pinwheels out of Papertrey Ink paper and letters are from K&Company wedding white glitter. I found some stickers and thought adding them just gave it a new look. Fun to make and do not want to send it away. Now I will make one for myself.

My next project for this swap will be a trick. This can be many things like mask, jars, and other things. Not really sure but will be done this weekend. So look for the next item. I will be showing a hanging tag next.

Happy Fall......

Banana Pudding Fun

OK I know it is now fall but I found this Banana Pudding jar in Country Home magazine and thought you ladies would enjoy the idea. So cute and what a way to send a surprise to someone at work or family. Do you know anyone that loves banana's??
