Happy stamping to you all!
Today’s card using a circle 6 stamp I purchased from my local craft store, it was $1.00 they had a very nice selection to choose from. I think I purchased 23 in total. Mostly fall and Halloween stamps, all very nice. My senior Ms. Vivian will enjoy this pretty card. It is made with the shaving cream back ground technique.

It has been a wonderful day here. I have started five boo-buckets, I need to stamp some book marks and put a few pieces of chocolate and other candies in each. These are more treat than sweet. They contain a calendar, glow sticks, fun wind up toys and some other goodies.
***
My husband has been smoking brisket and ribs all day. I’m starting to get SO hungry! It smells so wonderful. To top it off, he even smoked the beans, they are delicious! We are looking forward to having friends and family over to help us enjoy the wonderful meal.

Remember blog candy the stamps are just a preview of what is to come, this is Halloween month. Stay tuned for this months stamp kit project. It is free, I send you the parts to make the project of the month.

Stay tuned for previews of the boo-bukets I am making for neighbors. Click here for a link for more details.

Last year I started with four large and five small boo-bukets. We have sixty six homes in our community and by the time Halloween rolled by, we had 3/4 of the homes with signs on the windows. It was so much fun.****

This year I am focusing more on treat than sweet. With diabetes I am keeping these buckets on the low sugar side.

Blog candy will increase as we play along. You may leave a comment any where on my blog. If you want ‘extra’ votes, put a link of my blog onto your blog and email me to let me know. I’ll give you five additional votes for one comment = six votes!

Shaving cream technique
I really enjoyed doing this technique. I’ve never tried it before.
**
To begin, you will need to gather the following supplies;
**
1. A disposable aluminum banking pan.
2. Shaving cream.
3. Spatula
4. Re-inkers or food coloring
5. Good quality white card stock.
**
For the background above I used Stampin‘ up re-inkers in Tangerine tango, only orange and yo-yo yellow.
**
Squirt your (the cheaper the better) shaving cream into the bottom of the aluminum pan.
**
Randomly drop several drops of the each re-inker into the shaving cream. Using your spatula (or craft stick would also work) swirl around in the shaving cream.
**
I cut my paper to 4″ X 5 1/4″ and squash it into the mixture. I printed off a few.
**
Remove it from the shaving cream and remove all extra ‘goop’ from the top. I used a baby wipe to clean my panel off. Set aside to dry or use your heat tool to dry it more quickly.
**
Then I used my cuttlebug pumpkin embossing folder and ran it through my machine.
**
The stamped with and saying are from the $1.00 bin at the craft store, I used sizzix ghosts cut out of shrink plastic and shrank for embellishments. The adorable ribbon is from a local stamp store.
**
Stamp happy and give this fun technique a try. Blog candy to begin October 1 through Halloween!
Very Large altered message center project
Lots of great pictures of the different aspects of this VERY Large project!
Hello Stampers and Friends!
A quick trip out to AC moore produced this wonderful project.
I am going to participate in a shoe box swap in the local area on Saturday. After much dilberation, I finally came up with my card design. I finished it up this afternoon.
My husband has been wanting to visit a local music store, so I tagged along and went to the AC Moore store. I found this HUGE wood clipboard there for $9.99.
I came home and used some of my decorative papers to acent it. It was first sprayed (1/2 way) with a chalkboard paint. I used a glue mixture to attach the papers and other embellishments are attached with E6000 glue. It took me about 4 hours to get to the point you see it now. I just need to finish off the back.
The stamps are from Recollections and are sold at the Michael’s craft stores, it is embellished with stickles. Yes those are shrink plastic flowers on the thumb tacks, I used water color pencils to color the images and cut them out and shrank them according to the manufacture directions.
If you have any questions regarding this project, just drop me an email!
Stamp Happy!
