I love this time of year and this card just got me excited for the season to change!!!!!!

 TRISH - please email me your choice for stamp set & 2 Stampin' Up colors for diecuts and I will get everything right out to you.

BTW: Here's the list to choose from!

MY RETIRED SETS 

Thank you to all who left such nice and encouraging comments! This really has been a full year. I added a tutorial per week (with the exception of a couple weeks) and tried to blog at least 4 days a week! Thank you for letting me onto your computers and into your homes!

The next year is sure to be filled with LOTS more!!! 

PS. The retired list is available for sale to anyone who would like to purchase them from me. The prices are as marked on the file. Anyone who purchases 5 or more sets will get an additional 10% off the total. And shipping will be starting at $4.60 for priority mail. And upwards from there (USPS priority mail prices... I do not add any tax or handling!).

 Ok. soryr... but I haveto run right now... I will try to get back to night... sorry!!!!

I am so in the Halloween mood. I can't wait until the crisp night air arrives and the you need to sit out with a sweater!. I guess you can tell that I am not enjoying this late summer heat and humidity! It is so humid out... probably because Hanna is headed this way on Saturday. I hope we get a good soaking tho... we really need it!

As I was saying... Halloween...

I made this card using the same layout from a few days ago... but changed the colors and made it a Halloween card. A blackbird at midnight!

anyway... after I pass this phase I will likely be in the Thanksgiving/harvest mood~ who knows?

Hope you are enjoying your week. If you haven't commented yet (entered my Blogiversary candy) please leave a comment! Leave it here... any blog posting for this week! The drawing is tomorrow and I apologize for not getting a pic up. I will try to get it up by tomorrow. For full details... scroll down to Monday's blog and check it out!

 Have a great day and see ou back here tomorrow!

Today's Tuesday Tutorial is on the SPINNER CARD. I know ideas like this have floated around for a while. I made several cards using this technique in the past. But now with the new 1 3/4" circle punch it's easier than ever! These steps are my own intstructions.  You can check it out now under the TUTORIALS link at the top of page!

Here's a pic of the card:

And another I made using the retired stamp set:

by the way... do you love the WHITE HAPPY HALLOWEEN onthe cover? It's part of the CHIT CHAT rubons collections from SU! I just love the sayings! I will have to buy another set! 

I hope you enjoy the tute! Please leave a comment if you have any suggestions on making this technique easier!

ALSO... your comment enters you into the BLOGiversary CANDY drawing for Friday! Scroll to yesterday's blog for more details! Hope to hear from you soon!

I can't believe it's September already! Time flies! (I know I've said that one before).

I realized last night that I have had this website and this blog for over one year! I started this site late July 2007 and it really started to roll on August 2, 2007! I have loved the fun this past year. I love dhearing from all of my friends both old and new and am so grateful that you let me into your craft rooms so we could stamp together!

Please one comment per person per day will count. and it must be on a blog posting between now and Fri.
