Out of the Box Stamping

     Hello crafty people! I know it has been a bit since my last blog post, but today I have a special post for you...it's a blog hop with fellow Stampin' Up! demos from around the globe. You will get to see amazing projects full of ideas to inspire your next creation. Here is mine.....

   Hey everyone! How is your week going so far? We got hit with a bunch of rain last night which is continuing into today. We also have a chance for some snow, but we will see how that goes. I really love the snow too. My wish every year is to wake up Christmas morning with a couple feet of snow on the ground outside.....it hasn't happened yet. Let's get onto today's card.....

   Welcome crafty people! Did you have a good weekend? I can't believe that Thanksgiving is next week! And then just Christmas in just under 4 weeks!!! Boy this year went by fast. I have been steadily working on my Christmas cards for this year and I am loving the Christmastime is Here Suite to help with that. Here is today's card.....

   Hello crafty people! How has your week gone? I was supposed to be in Portland Oregon right now for Stampin' Up!'s OnStage event for demos, but.....our car decided to have problems and my husband didn't want to risk driving it to Phoenix (3 hrs away). Plus the money I had saved for my trip has now gone or is going to go into fixing our car. So I'm a little bummed today, but there will be next year. Let's get on to today's card......

   Hey everyone! Welcome to my blog. Can't believe we are already half way though the week. With this past Monday being a holiday my days are all mixed up now. Does this happen to you? Especially when it's at the beginning or end of the week. Let's get on to today's card.....      This suite is so cute! Between the stamps, punch, DSP (Designer Series Paper), and the really cute embellishment kit making these snowmen is just so much fun. The really cute hats, scarves, and mittens come in 4 different colors to match all your snowman projects.    I decided to give the background a winter look by embossing with the Swirls & Curls embossing folder. It is hard to tell in the pics, but the DSP has glitter on one side of it which gives the card a fun sparkle.    I also put some of the Shimmery Crystal Effects on the buttons of the the snowman to add some more sparkle. I wrapped a piece of the Real Red Curly ribbon around the layer and put one of the pink hats

   Hello crafty people!  How was your weekend? After having to purchase a new battery for our car and a couple other pieces it is still throwing a code so on to the next item, but it is drivable right now. Did you do anything exciting this weekend? Our weather was a little warmer so we spend some time outside just talking to the neighbors. Let's get on to today's project as I have a special one being a part of Kylie's Blog Highlights and you get to vote on it! Here it is.....

   Hello everyone! How is your week going so far? We are still waiting on car parts to fix our car, they should be here tomorrow hopefully. You never know how much you need your vehicle until it breaks down. We have had some wonderful friends and neighbors helping us through this. Let's get on to today's card......

   Hi crafty people! It's another week and another Monday. Was your weekend good? Our check engine light came on in our car so my husband has been working on it, so no car for a couple days. Living on a mountain and far from anything, you have to order, what seems like everything, online. So we are waiting for some parts. Let's get on to today's card.....

   Hello crafty people! How has your week gone? I still feel like I'm playing catch up after coming home from a mini vacay. My husband and I went to Laughlin and Vegas to visit old high school friends, it's something we have been doing for 4 years now and I always look forward to it, but I feel like I need a vacation from my vacation afterwards. Lol. Let's get on to today's card.....

   Hello everyone! How is your week going so far? Pretty good here, except for the allergies still bugging me. We had our first frost last week (17°F) and now most of our outside plants are heading into hibernation. We did lose the tomatoes and cucumbers, but that was expected. Do you have a garden or plants? Let's get onto today's really cute and fun Halloween card.....      Now, because I love Halloween so much I thought this idea was perfect for it. I already had the idea for the truck with the pumpkins, but while I was making it I remembered about the skeletons in the Sept Paper Pumpkin and wondered if they would fit in the truck.....they do! I did cut the legs to fit better, but it looks so adorable.      For the background I watercolored it from light to dark to represent a sunset. I also used the house and tree stamp from the stamp set From Our House To Yours to be silhouetted in the background. The pumpkins were colored using the Stampin' Blends.      For
