It's Fall Y'All


On to November.........Halloween trick or treating was a bust here.  Only a couple
of kids came to the door.  I'm glad I got to make stuff for my daughter who teaches kindergarten, treats for their Halloween Party.

October seemed to speed by, and now we are looking at Thanksgiving and Christmas.


Fall is in the air here, and it has been raining like crazy for days!  Not much of 
an Indian Summer, but tonight they said early November is going to be better.




Stamps-Tim Holtz Sizzix
Acorn Die is Spellbinders, October Monthly Small die set
Papers - Orange and brown pearl finished papers, dark brown card stock
DP - Mirror patterned paper from a 12x12 STACK.

Hope you saw more trick or treaters than we did, so disappointed and
so much chocolate in the house!!!!

Thanks for stopping by today.
Have a great day.
Until later...........

BSS IDEA - Holiday Stamp Camp

WELCOME TO THE BUFFALO STAMPS AND STUFF IDEA.

On Sunday, I attended the Holiday Stamp Camp at the store.  It was a
birthday gift from my sweet niece, which she attended with me.

We made so many beautiful cards, with so many wonderful ideas and
stamps and dies.  Sharon's team at the store did a fabulous job of
putting the kits together too.  

Sharon gave me permission to show you this card.



The die cut of New York State is adhered to
a red square panel which was embossed
with a snowflake pattern, then mounted on
a square white mat.  The red heart was 
placed where Buffalo, New York would be
and the die cut sentiment glued to
the designer paper below image panel.

Sharon also wanted me to tell you that
she has the die for  Ontario, and Pennsylvania.

This makes such a fun card to send to friends who
have moved from the area or out of town friends
or relatives.

If you have the opportunity to attend this Stamp Camp,
you should do it.  

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.
Until later............

LETTERS TO SANTA


Hello friends.  Hope everyone is off to a good week.

I recently purchased some digi's from the new release at Whimsy Stamps.
I am just now getting around to coloring them up.

I love anything by Chrissy Armstrong!

This sweet digi of the little girl is running off to the post office, I imagine
to get her letters to Santa in the mail.

I remembered that I had a paper pad from the Paper Studio that I bought at
Hobby Lobby a couple of years ago with the envelope background and thought
it would be perfect if I could find it.  Well miracles do happen and I did.

Poinsettia

Hi friends, hope everyone is enjoying the weekend.  It was a wet day here, and
the day I chose to do some running around!  Oh well, got some nice bargainsm used a gift
card I got for my birthday for some new clothes,
 and enjoyed my shopping trip out of the house.

I made this card using a wonderful large stamp by Stampendous called
Poinsettia Collage.


I stamped it with Versafine clear ink and embossed with silver embossing 
powder.  I stamped the area with the Poinsettias again and embossed, then
colored them, cut them out and popped them up on the full sized image.
Sponged lightly around the edge with a light blue ink, added the silver ribbon
and mounted on a red mat onto a white card.  Yellow stickles was added
to the centers. What a beautiful image.

Stamp is Stampendous, Poinsettia Collage (6CR010)

That's it for me today.  Going to catch up on comments, take a shower
and turn in soon.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a good Sunday.  Until later......

Oh! Christmas Tree



Hi friends, turning colder around here.  Leaves are just about at peak for
Fall colors and some of the scenery is breathtaking.

A Christmas card for today.






I made a folded Z Card.  Then I embossed the front fold with
a snowflake embossing folder.  I used the Swiss dot embossing folder
 on the panel  behind the gold panel.  The Christmas Tree is from Crafters
Companion and you can just cut it into the paper like I did here
or you can cut it out.  I backed the tree with Gold Glitter Paper.
The beautiful inside designer paper is Kaiser Craft-Peace and Joy
six inch paper pad.  Snowflakes are Tim Holtz Alterations by Sizzix.
With Gold Mirror Candi centers.

I cut several out to make a different look on cards, will show
you that at a later date.

As you can see it is a beautiful tree die.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.  Until later....

BSS IDEA - SNOWMAN

WELCOME TO THE BUFFALO STAMPS AND STUFF IDEA.

Hello stamping friends.  How do you like the temperature
change? Guess I need to get moving on the outdoor 
furniture cushions and getting my potted plants taken
care of.  

The saddest part for me is when the temperature dips below 55 you have to stop feeding the fish in our pond.  So, when I go out to see
them in the morning when I let the dog out, they come to the top
looking for their breakfast, so sad....

This week, I have a card with a great Snowman image.
I love snowmen and this one is pretty cute.


Stamp - Penny Black - Bundled Snowman (40-653)
Inside sentiment-Merriest Wishes -Stampendous (CRM278)
Paper - Black, green, white card stock
Snowflake is Tim Holtz, Alterations, die set with 14
different sized snowflakes
Word Chip is Tim Holtz
I stamped on watercolor paper, stamped with
a light gray ink and dried with the heat gun, then
colored with Copic Markers
I sponged the entire panel with Versafine clear ink
and embossed with Ranger, Holographic Embossing powder.
It's super sparkly, and reflects all the colors of the rainbow.
He's a fabulous snowman.
