June's Creations

Well, several people now have said that they can't see what's on the jar. So I took out all the candy and took a new picture. No worries. I'll put the candy back in it. One of you will be lucky enough to get to take him, the jar and the candy home just in time for Halloween. It's the Spooky Spider from the Decor Elements collection. It's available through the end of October only. It comes in black and white and Small, Medium, or Large

Check out the cute jar! Place an order with me in October and get an entry. Orders can be of any size and may be placed directly with me or on my website (link below)I'll be drawing a name (could be yours!) on October 28th. The lucky winner gets the decorated jar (it has the Spooky Spider Decor Elements on it) and the candy that's in it. Who said Halloween isn't fun for adults? Fall is here. Halloween is approaching. Here are the 2 cards we made at this month's Stamp Club. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I really love the Upsy Daisy set. The bold flowers have a lot of potential. I'll be playing with that set for a long time. I've had the Haunting Halloween set for over a year and I still love it. The cauldron was even a pot of gold for this past year's St. Paddy's day cards. The glitter on the witch card was done with Iridescent Ice. Contact me and I'll be happy to show you how it's done

Cost: $5 I really love the Decor Elements and how I can add elegant decorations to my home without spending a lot of money. I will be able to use this year after year. I also love how I can add a statement or a decoration. to my wall for a low cost too. When the statement no longer applies or I just want something else, off it comes. Just w...

I've been happily trying out new ways to use glitter. I've been making my own glitter glue by mixing Crystal Effects, reinkers, and Dazzling Diamonds. I can then apply the mixture with a paintbrush or a toothpick depending on how much I need for the project. Here are some cards I've made using glitter.

I got my order in yesterday and I've been playing with the Fresh Cuts stamp sets and the notes. I'm so glad that this is what I do. My stuff came in and I had a good excuse to play. I need samples for the weekend and stamp club. Several of my customers tease me about collecting scraps and using everything that I have. It's true....if a piece is big enough to stamp on, I keep it. I used the Fresh Cut notes to create a Thank You card that I reaaly like. Then I used the punch outs from the flower to create the candles on the birthday card. I have a birthday party to attend this weekend. She really likes the things I make from SU so I used our rubons to create a personal candle holder.
