Hi Stampers :
Here is a cute Halloween card with this adorable girl from the Greeting Card Kids stamp set # 120633 in Big catalog on page 36 .
This stamp set is so cute and just perfect for watercoloring ..
I used the Watercolored Pencils #101879 and the Blender pen #102845 for watercoloring my sweet Halloween girl
I also used Black Stazon ink # 101406 with Watercolored paper # 105019
The Halloween greeting is from the stamp set called All Holidays # 114916
I have (2) new videos this week for you starting tomorrow stay tuned for those .
Until later.. Happy Stampin!
Hi Stampers :
Here is another project we made at Holly's workshop. Here is the Christmas card we made .
I changed the layout a wee bite from the one I cased from Susie Wood which I got her swap at Founders and I really love this Santa face from the new stamp set called Jolly Old Saint Nick # 121321 from the Holiday mini HERE .
Here is the one I cased from Susie... Notice the changes ?
My card sits upright and the Candy Cane Christmas DSP # 120809 is layered at the top I added a sweet bow with White Taffeta Ribbon # 109070 and stamped Merry Christmas from the Christmas Greetings stamp set # 115448.
One thing I love so much about stamping is with just a few simple changes it can make a card look totally different .
Have a Terrific Tuesday friends .
Thanks so much for peeking in today .
Until later.. Happy Stampin!

Hi Stampers :
I thought I would share just a few photos from Founders Circle 2010 with you .. I have over 400 photos to go through and I uploaded some of them HERE and hopefully will have even more photos in my Founder Circle 2010 gallery by this weekend for you to look at ..
All my photo galleries are on the left hand side of my blog under the button titled DAWNS GALLERIES
The 1st photo is me getting caught getting a gooey roll from the gathering place Oh my so yummy we had carmel apples one night , donuts, chocolate everywhere But the gooey roll was screaming my name :)
The 2nd photo is what was greeting me as I entered my room such an awesome touch since Founder Circle was all in the 50's theme and the record was a fabulous ( no pun intended) touch ..
The next photo is my great friends ( Lisa, Tiffany, Me & Diana) we were all decked out in our pink and black bowling shirts SU! left for us as a pillow gift Friday night for the "Fabulous" event SU! was taking us to Saturday afternoon.
We all thought we were going bowling which we kinda did But not the bowling we thought . The event was for Wii Bowling OMG !! check out the photo with all those Wii screens Holy Moly what a Blast ..There was even more on the other side I just couldnt capture all of them in just 1 photos .
Founders Circle was AMAZING . Thank you Stampin'Up! for treating us like queens. It is something I will treasure forever .
Peek in on my Sunday Share this upcoming Sunday you are going to laugh at what I got from a dear friend .. Yes can you say Pickles ... But not what you are thinking LOL stay tuned you're gonna laugh ..( I promise )

Hi Stampers :
Here is another project we made at Peggys workshop I have a video on how I made these note card / gift card holders HERE .
For Peggys workshop we made them into a Hallooween theme . I used the designer paper Nite Owl DSP # 123012 with Cajun Craze card stock #119684 and the Batty for You stamp set # 116576 ( This style note card is the same as my Thank you notes this month HERE )
For the Front of my holder I used the 1 3/8" circle punch#119860 and the 1 3/4" scallop circle punch #119854 along with the 2 3/8" Scallop circle punch # 118874
I will be posting Peggys 3rd project we made this week via a video stay tuned for that this Friday :)
Speaking of Videos : I have only 1 video this week ( sorry) I am getting caught up on orders / emails/ preparing for my events this weekend .. Next week I will be back to 2 videos.
Upon my return home from Founders there was no welcome party ( Jess & Bowzer) since I didn't walk in the door until 12:45am Monday morning I knew they both would be sleeping so I quickly dropped my luggage at the door and went to bed ... So imagine my surprise when I went to stamp yesterday morning and there was this sweet message on my stamping table from Jess .. so even though she wasn't wake to greet me with a hug I still felt the love and even got watery eyes from her sweet message ..
Later when I hugged her for her thoughtful note she said she thought of many places to leave the message BUT she knew I would for sure see it in my stamping room LOL ( She knows me to well ) Love you Jess !
Have a Fabulous Tuesday Friends.
Until later.. Happy Stampin!
Hi Stampers :
I wanted to show you this sweet tooth fairy tin I made from a Altoid tin ( Before & After) .
These tins are so simple to decorate all you really need to do is measure the front of your tin and adhere card stock or Designer paper with sticky strip.
Once you do it You will be amazed how simple they are .
I made mine into a tooth fairy keeper using the new stamp called Tooth Fairy #119216 (page 18 in Big catalog) so when your little one lose a tooth put their tooth inside tin and put under their pillow then the tooth fairy can add a small treat ( Money hopefully ) inside.
I made this one with Pretty in Pink card stock #100459 and LOTS of Rhinestones #119246 and I also added some doodle dots with the White gel pen # 105021 all over and then some Dazzling Diamonds # 102023 to the Tooth fairy image .
I also added Sticky strip #104294 around the tin ( right around the lid edge ) then added some Pretty in Pink Taffeta ribbon# 109067 to the sticky strip .
I used the scallop circle punch to punch out image and just hand cut the notches around the image. For the big Pink Pirouette flower I used Fancy Flower punch # 118073
Have a marvelous Monday and Thanks so much for peeking in today.
Until later.. Happy Stampin!

Hi Stampers :
Happy Sunday friends !
This past Monday night Jessie came home from a shopping day with a friend and she brought home a gift for me :)
Of course Jessie had to do the whole "Try and guess what I got you mom .. with an extra Mom you will never guess " so after trying to guess 3 times she whips out this Pickle Flavored Lip Balm OMG I don't think we both have ever laughed so hard in our life.. Can you believe it ? LOVE IT!!
She got this at the store in the mall called Hot Topic . Then Jessie said hurry and take a pic so you can open it up to smell it . The smell Is not very strong ( bummer ) But then again I guess that would be a good thing for other people around me :) The lip balm actually is really nice with a slight smell of pickles .. I love it and love that my Jessie was thinking of me ( Love you Jess )
This past Thursday I had my permanent crown put in ( That was really quick) and everything is going great! Thank you for your prayers. :)
Jessie had a great Saturday cause Ken came home for the long holiday weekend from college and they spent the day together .

Then I need to design a shoe box swap (20) for Lauries downline meeting I will be attending YAHOO! Those need to be ready by Saturday morning .
