I chose to use the "Wheel Barrow" digi stamp

This is an extra-large shipping tag, that was previously treated with watercolors, and shimmer mists.

All Card stock is from STAMPIN' UP, the image is colored with PRISMACOLOR pencils and blending pencil, The butterflies are a punch by Martha Stewart for EK SUCCESS. I used stickles by RANGER for some added texture and sparkle, on a few of the flowers, 2 of my torn card stock strips, and on both layers of the 3D butterfly. All fibers are from my stash.

Challenge #5...THE GAME is-- PATTY CAKES

Hello everyone!  First of all The hubs is home from the hospital! YEA!!! there are some glitches with follow-up that need to be worked out, but he is home!  He is also officially retired! (now to figure out how not to lose our house, with the loss of income, LOL)


Now for a little fun and creativity...I apologize for doing such a simple project, but things have been very crazy with Ron being in the hospital for 3 weeks and all that involves. 

This week at THE GAME...the game is PATTY-CAKES!

anything to do with CAKES, cards with cakes, needlework with cakes, MAKE A CAKE even...which 3 of my team did...please visit THE GAME to see them all, and then visit each of their blogs.

I made a set of Gift tags, I was trying to make matching flowers and perhaps a birthday card to go with them...but  it has not come to fruition (not yet)

Here they are...ALL supplies except for the HEART bling is from STAMPIN' UP...the hearts are from RECOLLECTIONS

 The back of the tags have the same size white tag without the stamp on them, for writing. 

The stamp is from the "Stipple Celebrations"  set, which is retired.

I am glad you visited me today, thanks for your comments!

PLEASE come play along with us at

DAY 14- 31 Days of Halloween, Countdown to halloween, Real witches of Halloween

 My post for ALL HALLOWS GRIM, which is actually 3 posts (3 parts of a story) is below this post.

Welcome to Day 14 of the 31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN, as well as day 14 of the COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN, and Day 14 of THE REAL WITCHES OF HALLOWEEN.

Last night I watched  "The Nightmare Before Christmas". though I always liked Sally and Jack, I was never the huge fan of the movie that my kids were. Granted, I never really only watched it once all the way through. Most of the time, I would only catch bits and pieces while the kids watched it. last night I had the "Mom AHA" moment, and say the message the movie gives. I told this to my son(25) he said, "No Mom, this is Tim Burton not Aesop's fables, he doesn't teach lessons."   I told him, "You're wrong, you just don't want to admit that a movie that is kind of freaky and you love could actually be giving you a message." he went upstairs without another word, LOL!  Here is what I got out of the movie last night.
Jack wants to be Santa Claus, he wants something different than what is his life. So he puts a master plan into motion to kidnap Santa, and to be Santa and have Christmas as his holiday. Sally tried to warn him, that it wasn't meant to be, but he ignores her. With Santa tucked away (with the boogie man unbeknownst to Jack) he rides off into the night with his skeleton reindeer, coffin sleigh and ghost dog (I love the dog). The toys (which were all built by monsters and freaks) he delivered are all "evil" basically, they attack the children he gives them too.  The police are after him, they shoot him down.
Ironically he lands in a cemetery (he is a skeleton, after all and therefore dead). While he begins to lament the loss of his dream, his plan, a funny thing happens. He realizes who he IS, and who he IS is who he IS SUPPOSED TO BE, and opens the crypt and crawls home to Halloween town. He rescues Santa therefore restoring the  Holiday and the "Balance of things".


The lesson here, be who you are, because when you try to be something you're not, problems occur. Things get screwed up.
...wizard of Oz anyone???

my creation today is for "Samhain" which is now in popular America; "Halloween"
it is a true statement. Samhain (pronounced Sow in) is the "Witches or Pagan new Year"  it is the time when the veil between the living world and the underworld (dead ancestors) is thinnest, and therefore people can counsel with their relatives.

"Heart of a Witch" tag

 Digi Stamps used: Broken winged heart by SMEARED INK, Witch legs by BUGABOO STAMPS, and Witch hat by DOODLE DRAGON STUDIOS

 I used a large manila tag, the kind Tim Holtz likes.

The paper is DCWV from the midnight spells stack, I thinned out gray paint and painted a large swatch diagonally across the tag. After it dried I sanded the edge  of the whole tag. Then I glued down , this very open weave straw stuff. then a piece of yellow paper doily border. Then in spots I used Old Paper crackle paint by RANGER, and Fired Brick crackle paint by RANGER.

 The images were colored with BIC Mark its! I fussy cut the background from the legs, and glued the three pieces together, and glued it to the tag. then I used stickles by RANGER on the shoes, hat, sentiment(computer generated-Laughable font), wings and heart. The heart uses three different colors, as I put them on the different broken parts of the heart. I let the whole thing dry. Once dry I applied black Enamel accents by RANGER to the shoes and hat. Lastly I used my CROP-O-DILE to punch the hole through the paper matched up to the hole in the tag, and added a large eyelet and 6 different fibers.

I thank you all in advance for any comments!

a Tip: Plumber's metal adhesive tape (can be purchased in Walmart) sadly only comes in one width (perhaps wider in actual plumbing supply stores, I do not know)  works wonderfully in embossing folders!
and I recently found out that so does duct tape, check out this video (thanks Alex for sharing this):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1Pjzj2m5R4&feature=related

I'll try to show a creation with the plumbers tape within this coming week.

:)Have a great day!
