Card Candy

I've heard about this idea and seen it online with different groups I belong to but I've never fully understood the term Card Candy!!! I was the recipient of this Card Candy at convention! My up-line Susan Legits designed it and gave it as her group gift in our gift exchange!!! I can see myself doing this with my punches and the tons of scraps I seem to have in boxes just collecting dust!!!!! The cards are 3x3 and you can get 8 from a 12 x 12 sheet of paper just by cutting 3x6 inch pieces and folding in half !!!!!

Beautiful Business Helpers

Created by Carol Miller: These are not my usual colors but I love how Carol used are designer papers to decorate a checkbook cover, a business card holder, and a keychain with SU!'s statement of the heart (inside the new catalog front cover for the wording) on it! These will be getting a lot of use in my business and life! THANKS!!! Carol

DoorPrize Glass Jar


I used this jar on Tuesday night at my open house to hold my doorprizes in!! We saw this done at convention with the spooky spider decor element that is in in my previous post! I thought this would be a good door prize jar instead! My customer loved it(or maybe it was the doorprizes)!! Jar can be purchased at Walmart for $13.

SPOOKY SPIDER

My friend Leslie Banks (her link is in the right column on this page) was thinking of doing this idea! We saw something similiar on a glass jar at Convention! She wanted to use a pail instead!! I thought it was a great idea so I CASED it from her!!!! Hope that was ok Leslie!!!!
Now I have a pail I can put my Halloween treats in for the kiddos every year!!!! SPooky word and giant spider will be coming to a demonstrator near you this fall! The bucket I got at Home Depot! Orange craft paint at Walmart! Ribbon and smaller spiders can be found at Michael's.

DECORATING MADE EASY!!!


I REALLY REALLY LOVE the new Decor Elements Line by Stampin Up!!! I got to play this weekend with a bunch of the different elements to decorate my house! I wanted it ready for my open house Tuesday night!! Here is the frst thing I decorated! My front door!! I think it turned out really well!!!



When we bought my house in 1999 we put up a sign that said do not disturb before 4pm with a skull and crossbones picture. The reason we did this was because we worked nights and everyone in the world would knock or ring the doorbell!! I took the sign off my door when hubbie lost his job last Aug!! The tape was still on the door and was a pain to get off!! I thought it would be easy just to put the frame and monogram up! NO!!!! I had to scrape off the masking tape with a razor blad cause even UNDU didn't work!! I then had to repaint my front door as well!! All so I could make my monogram pretty!!!! So anyone have pics they want to share of their Decor Elements!!!!

Mini Altoid Purse

Kathy Morgan designed this using an Altoid tin and SU!'s new Bella Rose DSP. After I've used the mints and chapstick I can Carry around my money and credit cards by using the handy little wrist strap! The scallop punched image on the left side is a tiny mirror(eyeball size). I love this idea!!!
