Googly Ghouls

Happy August.  Just got back this week from a family trip to Chicago.  It was a great time with my husband and my son, but it's always good to be back home.  I had every intention of posting while I was gone, but alas, that did not happen.

Here are the projects from the stamp party I held for Jessica today.  This first one was a demonstration and her hostess gift.  It's a small jar (they come 4 to a package) from IKEA.  I covered the rim of the jar lid with some of the new 1/2" Striped Satin ribbon found in the Holiday catalog.  7" of the ribbon works great and just a little Tombow Multi-purpose adhesive holds it on great!  

The "bat" image is from the Googly Ghouls & "boo" stamp sets (also from the Holiday Catalog), were stamped onto some Whisper White card stock and punched out.  The larger circle is from the Howlstooth & Scaringbone DSP.  It all went together so quick.  I see others with other holiday theme's in the future.

The last thing was my make & take project that everyone made.  With so many cute and easy bundles in the new Holiday Catalog, I couldn't resist using the Ghoulish Googlies designer kit.  The one to the right was just to show how you can step the kit up a bit using textured impressions folders.  

Thanks for stopping by.  Hope you found a bit of inspiration.  Until next time......

Don't Fall Off Your Chair

I titled this one "Don't fall off your chair" because I'm posting twice in one day!  Yikes!  It's been a long time since that's happened.

I wanted to share with you a sneak peek from the Holiday catalog and one of the cards I did for convention swaps.  This little guy was a big hit!

The stamp set is Googly Ghouls, #128060 [wood mount], $16.95 or #128063 [clear mount], $12.95.
There are even sticky-baked "goggly" eyes called Googlies that you can buy #127539, $2.50 for a sheet of 50 that works just ever so slick for embellishment.

Love the layout which is super simple and so adaptable to other stamp sets, colors, papers, and embellishments.
