Fall is Here (at least in my mind)

I have been in such a fall mood. I've also discovered the Demonstrator Pages on the web. They have challenges that you don't really win anything, but it's just fun. So here's the deal. The first one did was to make a Halloween card with specific colors, not necessarily ones that you would associate with halloween (Kiwi Kiss, Tangerine Tango, Perfect Plum, and So Saffron). Here's my card for that one, the one to the right). It was really fun.

The next one that I did was to make a fall card without using earth elements SU family colors. This removed all the browns and rust colors. This one was really fun, because I got to use my new Autumn Harvest stamp set. This card is beautiful. This really surprised me how well this card turned out, especially since my 4-year-old decided that she was going to "help" me stamp the leaves. I think we may have got really carried away with it.

So then it was Bunco night and I knew what I wanted to do. I wanted to make a cute sign that had the happiness words from Decor elements. I demo'ed the application at my Home Decor event, but the poor sign just looked a little bare. I added some fun shading and a few embelishments and viola. I really liked how that turned out. Here's a picture of sign. I think it's really cute and fun. I'm just sad that I gave it away, but Kresta won it so I can go visit it if I want to.


Then just as I was finishing this project, my friend Heavenly, called and said that she was going to take Myron up on his offer to babysit (actually she asked me to ask Myron, but I forgot) and it was really last minute. She needed a gift. She bought a gift certificate for a card class and I told her I would make it really cute. The Demo Challenge was to make a cute backpack. So I tried it. It was a lot of fun. Here it is. OH SO cute!!! OK, so it's been a really creative week. I guess I might have a little too much time on my hands, but these were so much fun to make. I get such a feeling of accomplishment that I can make these cute things. I just remember my Art teacher laughing at my pathetic drawings and attempts at being creative.

Decor Elements Party---I'm just too impatient!!!

Okay

Today I learned that I am just an impatient person. I was planning to have my decor elements party be a come and go as you please event, but when no one showed up by 10:30 I decide to go ahead and finish all my projects. I was just finishing my last one when Jenice showed up. Then Tish. I was very happy. Thanks guys. I appreciate the support. I was getting a little depressed that I just don't know how to do this.

I know that there was a lot going on. I'm still taking orders and you can swing by my house and see what they look like. I really like them. Here's some pictures that Myron snapped. It's really fun to do. I think that was the other problem. I wanted to do them really bad. I wanted to see what they looked like. I need to learn patience.

Here's the pictures:
This is over my arch way to the rest of the house from my formal living room. It's really cute!!!


This one Myron came up with. He went out and bought the frame. He printed the pictures and created the layout. I loved it. He's amazing to me. He is so good. This one is so easy and fun. A great Christmas gift. So I decided to make this September's 3-D item. Wouldn't Grandma or Grandpa love it? It's a great project for just $20!!!

New Decor Elements

Myron bought the Create Decor Elements. He came up with an idea for his office. It was really cool. We had so much fun putting this together. He wanted it for his office. We had so much fun putting this together. It was SOOO easy. I couldn't believe it. We decided to do A LOT in our house. Soo...I'm putting quite a few of them around my house. You are welcome to join me as I put them up to see how easy it is to put up. (Saturday, August 23 10AM @ my house of course)

I'll post pictures after we're done.

Hi All--

Tonight, I just finished my first teen/tween class. It was so much fun!!! We decorated binders for back to school. They are posted to the right. The girls are going to add their pictures later. I loved it!!! I think that they had fun too!!! This is the reason that I started with Stampin' Up!! I love bringing out the creativity in others. It's so rewarding!
