This weeks Spotlight Special is Spellbinders. All Spellbinders are on sale this week. These are dies that can be used in a number of ways. My favorites are definitely the labels. Here are a few examples:

Run to the store, they are definately worth the investment!

I love this kit, the texture is just incredible!  You got BIG pom-poms and itty bitty ones, you got a crochet kind of trim, you get little polka dots and BIG polka dots… you get SHEAR, you get RICK RACK… and you get all this in this amazing AQUA color… and you will be surprised how versatile is this kit… let me show you.

Let’s first start at how awesome this ribbon kit looks against purple!!!  I created this cute little treat holders for some of my scrappy friends for halloween… check out how I closed each little tiny bag w/ the goodies.  These bags are the ones you use to wrap hand made lollipops.

Then there is the Fall color combination, AQUA goes perfect w/ those brown and bronze tones for the Fall season… of course I had some leftover from the SOLD OUT September kit to add to the kit.

And then last but not least is WINTER, yes… Frosty ‘N Cold…. she was right when she named it.  I love how this color (paired again w/ purple) brings the snow in the pictures alive!

So, no matter if you got Halloween, Fall, or Winter pictures this kit is for you… and of course this kit would also be perfect for some BEACH or EASTER pages too.

Do you like BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT?!  Then you will love this kit!

I altered this little jar to fill with candy as an extra little gift for someone on Christmas. It’s really hard to photograph the effect Glimmer Mists really does on here.  It’s more sparkly sheer versus the opaque white that is showing in this photo.

Thanks for checking out my creations!

So Ida finally moved along and I was able to get pictures!   I loved using the Frosty and Cold ribbon kit!  Just click the above image to purchase.

Summertime Layout

this kit is so versatile – it works just as well for Christmas and Beach projects!

• SNS ribbon and trim
• Cosmo Cricket and October Afternoon papers
• Hybrid title/journaling block (by kimmy)
• Pop dots (tons of them)
• Staz-On ink

This is a very easy project. It is a bit time consuming but when you are done you will have a gorgeous tree.

You will need:

Styrofoam tree whatever size you like (I got mine at Michaels)
Scissors
Pins & about 6 decorative pins for the top row
coordinating ribbon

The first thing you need to do is to cut your ribbon into strips about 2 – 2 1/2 inches in length. I cut as I went so I didn’t have left overs.

Next what you want to do is to fold the ribbon in half and use the pin to place it on your tree like this:

Then you continue all the way along the bottom:

For the next row you place your ribbon up a bit making sure to cover the pins. You can vary the placement depending on how “full” you want your tree.

Continue all the way up your tree. On the final row you want to use decroative pins because these will show. I left the top of my tree like that but you could use a star to top it or buttons.

This weeks special in the store are Stickles!!!    I have made a couple of cards using stickles – they are soooo versatile.  For the first card, I used stickles as snow along the ground and also in the tree.  For the second card, I used stickles as the berries (and take note of the ribbon – from the upcoming December ribbon kit)!!   I just love using Stickles – they come in soooo many different colors.  Perfect just to add that touch of “bling” to your project.  Have fun creating!!! …..Lisa

I LOVE this kit and have several more projects to post, but thanks to Tropical Storm Ida, can’t get pictures taken. So there will be more coming soon. Or as soon as it stops raining! (Click on above image to purchase this kit)

Here are a few goodies I created with this month’s fabulous Frosty & Cold ribbon kit !!

The first layout was part of my scraplift challenge where I challenged you to scraplift a layout (etc.) of someone in our fabulously talented gallery.    You can see Kimmy’s original layout in the post here…..and here is my version of her awesome layout:

Here’s another simple layout I did based on a sketch. 

A super quick little mini album using a piece of 12×12 patterned paper, folding and embellishing.  If you are interested, you can see more pics of this mini album here (scroll down):

And finally quick little halloween card:

Thank you for having a peek at my projects.  I hope you find some inspiration to create something FUN!!! ……Lisa
