Holiday Hershey Bars 2015

Hello & Happy Saturday!

Today I wanted to share my Hershey Candy Bar Wrappers, or atleast one of them! I made a few different designs this year which I will share later this month. I make these every year and for many different holidays or occasions. Just love them and hope you will too!

I sold out of these last year at my show at John Wright. This year I made a 30 for that particular show and sold half. Just goes to show that you never know what's going to sell and what's not. 

I made these with kids in mind for a stocking stuffer or just a small Christmas treat.

Ways To Use It Challenge 445

Hello & Happy Thursday!

Rise & shine on this beautiful Fall day!

I'm playing along today with the Ways To Use It Challenge over at SCS.

The challenge today is to make a pocket card whether it be a Double Pocket, Flower Pocket or a Criss Cross card. I made a just a regular pocket card for Thanksgiving using my adorable little Riley & Sophia Stamps. I'm not sure if Hanna Stamps still makes this line or someone else but I have a drawer full of them and decided I wanted to use something cute today!

For my card I used some old Recollections designer paper called Autumn that i've had on hand for along time. I pulled my cardstock colors from the designer paper. I used More Mustard (retired) and Marina Mist. The Happy Thanksgiving sentiment is from the new SU Tags 4 You & Label Bracket Bundle. The tag pulls out with a saying on that is from an older SU set as well called Seasonal Sentiments.

Hope you like!

Sketch Challenge 371

Hello & Happy Thursday!!

Hope your all having a great day so far!
It started snowing here in PA before noon time and from what I can see from my window, it's laying on the trees & grass. Not sure about the roads since the last few days have hit 50 degrees!
The snow always paints a beautiful scenery picture, doesn't it?

Today is Sketch Challenge day over at Splitcoaststampers. Below is the sketch that Holly threw out at us and my sample.

I needed a card for some friends of ours from the Scion car club. Their baby is due on Leap Year so I wanted to make sure I got it done in time before she goes into labor! Edgar & Amy are very good friends of ours and we're excited for them welcoming a new little one into their lives!


Sketch Challenge 371 Card:

Stamps: Riley & Company, Verve Sentment
Ink: Memento Black, Copic Markers
Cardstock: Bashful Blue, Neenah White
Accessories: Circle Nestibilities, Snow Dots & Herringbone EF's, Blue Satin Ribbon from AC Moore, SU Basic Pearls, Dimensionals, Scor Tape


Then today Kelsey ran out to grab our mail and found this SUPER ADORABLE card in there from a blogging friend that I had the pleasure of meeting last May at a stamping get together at L & L Stamps! Mary Anne, this card blew me away! It's so pretty and I love looking at all the interesting things on it! Also it's a gate fold card and I love those! The hearts, pearls, butterflies, rhinestones.....are all so pretty & perfectly placed! BUT, most of all....the surprise of receiving a beautiful hand made card in the mail is just AWESOME! Thank you so much for thinking of me! I love it! :)

Well, that's all for now!
Hubby is on his way home from work so I need to go get my supper made so I can come back to my stamp/family room to watch American Idol later tonight! It's Hollywood week so this will be interesting! :)

Thanks again for stopping by & have a wonderful day!
