Craft Display and 3GJ WINNER!!!

Good Morning Everyone!!!

I wanted to pop in to share how my display looks at the Salon where I have my goodies set up.

I think it turned out awesome and I had a great response to everything last night.

Now just hoping for some orders :)

So here is the whole thing....the table isn't very wide or deep so I wasn't able to display more of the things I brought but that is ok..more to fill in if these sell.

I ended up making a pretty simple header for the display using a cute rooster I found on the computer that I traced and cut using my Cameo. I covered the panel with black vinyl and then cut everything else out in white....Simple but that was what I was going for

And for a little sample of what I have on the table...Some glittered wine glasses....my new fav obsession...some stamped canvas bags (see some new MCT on there..LOL), a Halloween Acrylic cup and more cards and treats. Overall a pretty good selection of what I do and make, don't you think???

Now onto my winner from the 3GJ Birthday Celebration Blog Hop

Sketch Challenge....{TKJ}

Good Morning and Happy Monday everyone!!!

It is time for a new challenge over at

 The Kraft Journal!

And this week the challenge is:

a Sketch Challenge

Here is my card....Hope you like it!!

 So I made this sweet Get Well Card using an adorable chicken die cut, a CUTE Peachy Keen Stamped face and fun punny sentiment from My Craft Spot :)

I started my card by using a piece of Light Kraft Cover Weight Cardstock as my card base and then adding my layers of designer papers from Recollections~Harvest Delight paper pack. Then using my Silhouette Cameo, I cut the chicken, stamped her with the Critter Faces Set A from PKS and inked the edges using my Ink Blending Tool and distress inks. Next for my embellishing, I used the Chipboard Buttons covered with matching designer paper and more inking as well as 2 banner cut pieces of Natural Burlap Ribbon

Once all my pieces were inked and ready to put together, I did alittle stamping on the border piece using MCT~Spring Chicken Backgrounds, adhered the pieces to my designer paper layer and then ran it all through my sewing machine. Couldn't leave the extra detail out :)

So there you have it....
my inspiration for this week's challenge.

I hope you have enjoyed my card and will play along with us!

As always I have linked all the supplies I used from The Kraft Outlet throughout my description.  If you have not checked out the store yet....make sure you do! There is so much available, the prices are so reasonable and shipping is super fast!!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT Monday!!

Halloween and Fall Candy Sticks.......{Challenge Post}

Hey Everyone!!! 
Hope you all are having a GREAT weekend!!!!
I have a bunch of treats to share today for a few of my favorite challenges....

But first I wanted to share some pretty exciting news...

I was asked by a friend of mine who owns a salon if I would be interested in setting up a table with some of my projects to sell. Well of course I was and so I spent the entire last few days putting together all my cards...making sure all the envelopes were packaged with them, making some candy sticks as both a sample and for sale as well as going through my 3d packaging and picking out some to take as well. 
I had alot of fun getting everything together and hope this helps with some of my business :) She is having an open house tomorrow night which I will go to so fingers crossed that people like my things!!
Boy do I give credit to people who do these craft shows. I LOVE what I do but the work that they must go through to stock and keep replenished has to take months of prep. I know I have a ton that is going with me but I still feel like I could always use more.
Guess the good thing is I can pop in anytime and add to my table!

Now onto my projects.....
The first one is for the new Peachy Keen Stamps Anything Goes Challenge.
I LOVE making these fun candy sticks and when I found the candy corn M & M's in the store I knew exactly what I wanted to put on the tags....
Here they are....hope you like them!

I thought these would make fun classroom treats for Halloween...cute and sweet :)

I used the PK  July SOTM set for the sentiment as well as the cute little face.

Like my container I have the candy sticks in???

I glittered a candle holder and added a big bow using some May Arts Ribbon I got from my friend Beckie over at her store~ Sparkly Sweet Craft Notions

This is what the candy stick looks like alone...Those skinny bags I got from the Trendy Twine store! I already have another order placed for more!!

And here is a close-up of the tag. I used the new freebie file from PPPR except I altered it to use only the candy corn part. I wanted to add my cute PK face and the perfect sentiment, again from the July SOTM set from PKS

Supplies Used:

Paper~Bazzill Cardstock~White, Yellow, Orange

Stamps~ Peachy Keen Stamps~ July SOTM

Dies/Cuts~ Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbon~ Candy Corn Guy (minus the arms/legs and face)

Other~ Trendy Twine~ Orangesicle and Lemon Tart

Clear Skinny Bags

white gel pen

candy

So what do you think?? Cute right???

Now onto my next project....
Another bunch of candy sticks, this set for Fall using stamps and dies from  
My Creative Time.
I made another glittered candle holder, this one using a deep brown glitter and some brown May Arts Ribbon~ also picked up from my friend Beckie...
Here they are

 I was going for a bit more of a fall rustic look for my tags so instead of adding some twine to attach the tag to the bags, I used some Burlap ribbon from The Kraft Outlet and my stapler :)

Here are the sticks outside of the jar. They are such a GREAT size for stacking a bunch of

 M & M's as well as a whole variety of other small candies. And they are perfect decorated for any occasion!

And here are the tags. I really love how they turned out. Simple, but easy to mass produce!

Don't you just love the stitching that comes with all of Emma's dies??? Such a great added touch!!!

Supplies Used:

Paper~ 

Stamps~ My Creative Time~ Piles of Smiles

Dies/Cuts~ My Creative Time~ Stitched Tag Die

My Creative Time~ Leaf Dies

Other~ Clear Skinny Bags
Burlap Ribbon
Staples

Well there you have it! Both of my sets of candy sticks!
If you want to pick up your own to decorate for treats make sure to check out the Trendy Twine store HERE for them...They are sure to be a hit for what ever you use them for!!!
Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out my project!
I will be back tomorrow for a brand new card for The Kraft Journal!

Spooktacular Trendy Twine with SVG Cutting Files

Morning Everyone!! 
(If you are looking for the 3GJ 2 Year Anniversary Celebration please click HERE)

I am back with a special Trendy Twine post today sharing the fun new Halloween colors stored in a spooky way...LOL
Thanks to Anne over at SVG Cutting Files, she designed these adorable Halloween Spools and Twine Boxes that a few of the TT DT got to play with!
Here are the ones I used.....

How adorable are these????? I don't know about you but I am always looking for storage ideas, especially ways to store those AWESOME Mini's you can pick up over at the Trendy Twine store.... 

Like the new Trick or Treat Mini Set 

 Of course all those mini's can be found in full rolls too...

Look at all those Halloween colors! Aren't they awesome!!!!!

After checking out my projects individually then hop over to the store to get your Halloween colors!! Trust me, you will LOVE them and need them for all your upcoming projects!

Sorry...got a bit sidetracked sharing the new colors :)

Anyways here are the individual pics of both projects. I ended up using scrap Halloween paper for these and my Cameo to cut them out. Since they are so super easy to cut and assemble, I had them all done in about 5 minutes....what took the longest was searching for my papers :)

For the twine box, I did add an eyelet to the hole so when the twine comes through over and over again it does tear the box. I also added a triple bow to the broom...just to add some more details to the outside.

For the spool I cut the shape out 3 times, 2 with the cut for the face and the third time without the face so it could not only make it sturdier but also add the color behind the cut.

Then I added some white gel pen doodles and the stamps sentiment from My Creative Time.

So there is my projects! I hope you like them!!!

Please make sure you head back to the TT blog to see what the other girls have made

and

the store for all the great new colors!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT Saturday!!

Clean and Simple Challenge.......{TKJ}{Post #2}

Good Morning and Happy Monday everyone!!!

(for my Trendy Twine Back to School card please click HERE~ It is so super adorable if I can say so myself...LOL...you won't be dissapointed!)

It is time for a new challenge over at

 The Kraft Journal!

And this week the challenge is:

Clean and Simple~ Otherwise known in the bloggy world as CAS

Since I LOVE making CAS cards, this challenge was a fun one for me!!

I used the Hypothesis from Fusion Card Challenge

and incorporated the sketch as well as the pink, green and kraft colors from the other~

So I guess you could say I fused them both! LOL!!

Here is my card....Hope you like it!!

I recently won this adorable C.C. Designs ~Pinwheel Birgitta from my friend and fellow DT sister Karen over at her challenge blog~ Word Art Wednesday and I could not wait to ink her up! Isn't she precious????

Once she was colored using my copic marker and matted on a scalloped oval using Blackboard Stock Paper  I went about assembling my card. I started my card by using a piece of Light Kraft Cover Weight Cardstock as my card base and then adding a mat of white cardstock.  Next I layered some Blackboard Stock Paper  with the pattern paper I used from Fancy Pants~Wonderful Day paper pack. Then using more matching paper from the same stack I die cut 3 banners using My Creative Time's~Vintage Stitched Label Dies. Then to finish my card I added a button from my stash and threaded some white hemp from the Brights Hemp Cord pack.

So there you have it....
my inspiration for this week's challenge.

I hope you have enjoyed my card and will play along with us!

As always I have linked all the supplies I used from The Kraft Outlet throughout my description.  If you have not checked out the store yet....make sure you do! There is so much available, the prices are so reasonable and shipping is super fast!!!
