Stamp set of the Month and Treasure Hunt Reminder

By the Tide



These are the three free cards that were waiting for the people that purchased this set during September at the October Stamp Along on Monday. 
The punch art one was a swap from convention without a name on the back so I can't give credit.
The punches used on it are the Large Oval, Modern Label, 1/2" Circle, and circle from the Itty bitty Punch Pack, as well as the Beautiful Wings Embosslits for the Big Shot. 
I think they were pleased with them. 
The set to purchase for the free cards at the November Stamp Along is:
Backyard Basics.
That one is part of a bundle but only the stamp set is required for the free cards. 
If you purchase the set on line and can't make it to the Stamp Along, I will mail the cards to you. 


Don't forget the LNS Treasure Hunt! 
There are only a few more days before it is over. Send me that list of clues that you find so you have a chance to win the SU! products. You can't win if you don't enter. 
Click on the symbol above my picture for the details. 
I will be picking another winner for blog candy from the ones that leave a comment on my blog.
I will announce the winner of that along with the winner of the Treasure Hunt. 
Subscribe to my blog so you don't miss out on the posts.

Halloween Stampin' Up! Punch Art

There are so many cute Halloween ideas and I want to do them all! 
There will be many (including these three) at the October Stamp Along.
But one does not live by Halloween alone so there will be many other themes also. 
That means I will have extra "haul and carry" but it will be worth it for you to have extra choices!
It isn't until the 14th so I still have time to do a few more! 


Remember the one with the chevrons down the side? Well, I saved those scraps and they make awesome spider legs! The spiders I encounter are never this cute! I'm glad they aren't this big either!
The witch was on Patty Bennett's blog and was just so darling that I had to share it with you! She requires the Dress Up framlits as well as the Petite Pennants punch, scallop oval punch, and large oval punch. I mad mine just a little differently than Patty made hers. 
Thanks, Patty! 
If you "need" any of these (or other) Stampin' Up! products before October 14th, please order from my on-line store and use the hostess code     R4TBBVKK    It will be shipped directly to you but will count toward my workshop and I will send you one of these cards! 

If you have ever thought of joining the Stampin' Up! family, now would be the time to try it! 
You can join for only $25. 
You never have to do a workshop unless you want to and you get the discount on every order that you place. You have until March 30 to order your $300 minimum for the quarter. 
Please contact me if you have any questions or just go to my site and click on Join Now. I would love to have you on my team! 

Have you done the LNS Treasure Hunt yet? You could win the $150 shopping spree!

Winner of Blog Candy and return of Swallowtail


Today is the 30th os September and I did my drawing from the comments on my blog since the LNS Treasure Hunt started. I did two drawings so these are the lucky winners. Send me your snail address so I can send your "candy" to you. 
Hi Carolee. Great blog and great clue for the LNS Treasure Hunt Blog hop. Your card was beautiful and I love how you used the mask. Thanks so much for sharing and playing along in the hop. Enjoy!
and...
What a fun hop and your card is beautiful. Sponges aren't just for cleaning! LOL
I will be doing another blog candy drawing at the end of the LNS Treasure Hunt from all the comments left on my blog between now and the end of the Hunt. 


It has been awhile since I have done something with the beautiful Swallowtail.
This one is three dimensional and done with the Labels Collection of the framelits.
It is another one of the cards that will be at the Stamp Along on the 14th of October.

Punch art, Framed art, and LNS Treasure Hunt reminder

I got this darling punch art card idea at convention from Dorothy Hensley. 
I have changed the punch used for the feet but other than that it is the same as hers. 
It is all packed and ready to go to the Stamp Along at the Library on October 14th. 
The cute little minions will be back also. 



This is the framed art. It is in a black frame but I got a little too close for the photo. 
This is done mainly with the beautiful Winter Frost Specialty paper (132341) in the Holiday Catalog.
Interested in making one? 
I will prepare the kit for you. 
The class will be on October 30th at Schroeder's in Two Rivers at 1:00. 
The fee is $15. You will need to provide the frame of your choice.
The frame I used is on sale right now at Hobby Lobby for only $5 something until Friday. 
I will also do this class at your home for the same fee if you have a group doing it. 
Email me to set up a date. 


A reminder to leave a comment on my blog to be in the drawing on September 30th for the LNS Treasure Hunt. Click on that LNS symbol above my picture for the details and start hunting for the clues so you can have a chance to win the $150 grand prize consisting of Stampin' Up! product. 
Happy Hunting!

Busy or Bumming?


I spent some time with my daughter and her kids. Not something I get to do often enough! I went with the purpose of helping her with her busy schedule that included canning tomatoes. 
We did some stamping while I was there and one of the girls came up with these cute little critters. 


Since the girls didn't have school on one of the days that I was there, it was decided that we should do something fun instead of just work. 
Off to the zoo we went! It was a fantastic day! 





We had a great time at the zoo and got the tomatoes canned, too!

Don't forget about the LNS Treasure Hunt. You could win over $150 in Stampin' Up! product! Just click on the LNS square just above my picture. Good luck!
