Chat sketch take 2

So I posted the sketch yesterday from a couple of weeks ago on SUDSOL.  I have told you how much I love SUDSOL!  I get workshop ideas, sketches, patterns and templates for boxes and gifts, and so much more!  I will feature a project on the blog tour that utilizes that special area of the website - Patterns and Templates.

BUT, you have to wait a couple more days -- Thursday in fact.  In the mean time, here is the second card I completed using the SUDSOL sketch.  The Stamp a Stack gals loved it!  I hope you enjoy!

Stamps: Snow Much Fun

Colors: Pool Party, Wisteria Wonder

Accessories:  Lace Border punch, Snow Burst impressions folder, Snowflake punch, Corner rounder punch

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

I have blogged before about the SUDSOL Chat & Challenges. This card was one I made for that very thing.  I always try to get a card done in the 1 hour time limit and this is what I came up with.  It is perfect to wish you all a very Happy Halloween!  I know I love to see the kids in costume and this year have a great costume.  I will try to post a photo of that later this week too.    

Here is the sketch we were given. If you try it - link back to mine!

Before I show you the card, I want to remind you to check back on Thursday, November 3rd for the SUDSOL blog tour.  We are all spotlighting Holiday designs and projects.  I am excited for it...  SUDSOL is who I always turn to when I need help as a demonstrator.  My upline is in Utah and I hardly ever talk to her - like NEVER, but I can shout out to my SUDSOL sisters and get help right away! 

Back to the Halloween card!  Watch for the other version that I got finished during the chat tomorrow!

October Fun!

I am trying to catch up a bit before the BIG BLOG HOP!  Next week, on Thursday, November 3, I will be participating in the SUDSOL blog hop.  SUDSOL is a great resource for Stampin' Up! demonstrators. There are lots of benefits to this demonstrator only group.  I have mentioned the Chat & Challenges before, but there are templates, class outlines, tutorials, organization tips and tricks, card ideas, gift ideas, scrapbook ideas - you name it and it is probably there!  Be sure to sign up for my emails or follow me and see what we have planned on this hop!

For the October Hostess club I have a couple of cards to share today.  The hostess club had so much fun with their cards.

Stamps: Hello Friend, Bright Hope
Colors: Always Artichoke, Crumb Cake, Bashful Blue
Accessories: 2 3/8" scallop circle punch, 3/8" taffeta ribbon (crumb cake), Sweet Buttons embosslit, Crystal Effects

I saw a boy version of this card on the Stampin' Up demo website and knew I had to copy it.  LOVE it.  I love that you can use the Stitched Stocking set for more than just Christmas stockings.

Stamps: Stitched Stockings, Petite Pairs

Colors: Pretty in Pink

Accessories: Perfect Polka dots impressions folder, 5/8" satin ribbon (Pretty in Pink), Pearl Jewels, Eyelet border punch

Halloween Hop!

Welcome to the fun this month with our Hopping Just for the Fun of It blog hop.  You are in for a treat today as you see the fun Fall and Halloween ideas that some amazing Stampin' Up! artists have come up with.  Please sit back and enjoy the ride today as you hop from blog to blog.  You can start anywhere and end anywhere - just enjoy the cards and projects we have prepared for you.

You have just come from stop #11 -Stamp With Jane.  Didn't you LOVE her great ideas for the Sorting Hat?!  I have some fun stuff for you today.

I am not really a Halloween person I have to admit, I have good intentions but never seem to find enough people to send things to.  First up is a little test tube box I found on Lisa Sommerville's blog.  I have a tutorial I will post later this week for you all.  I have a little similarity going with each project - maybe you can see what it is?  Post a comment if you can figure it out!
