Do you have these?....

Silver Plates and Platters

I did at one time, and probably bought the same ones I donated.

That's OK it all helps for a cause anyways♥

These were only 10.-25. cents at my thrift place. I think I claimed more on my taxes☺

 The plate above actually hangs on the wall from the clock.

Here's the Deets....

Drill a hole in the center 

Make sure you punch/hammer a starter hole so your drill bit does not slide.

Trace plate center on to your paper choice, cut and sand for a more smooth edge.

Stamp your image, mine is embossed in black, them colored, with a little sponging and spritzing.

Modge Podge piece down and on top, let dry.

Insert clock with the instruction's from package, I found my clocks at my local craft store for $3.50.....coupon!!!!

Beware to get the right shaft length for your project , there are many from short to long.

Or just omit the hole and make a nice inspiration piece....Like below.

Fast and easy 

whether you make it  Shabby Chic, like above, or more Modern (I'll show more later) 

the possibilities are endless...

add a pretty bauble or two, stamp on tissue paper for a more opaque look, add more ribbon, 

put the numbers or not and so much more.

Let me see what you do.

Thank You Janis Gurney for the inspiration.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Not quite a Thanksgiving Card...but it does have Thanks on it, does that count?

May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!

No more Cat Naps...

A cheaper way to take my photos and much sturdier... so no more cat boxes. Older post☺

Very first photo up above with no editing, only cropping.

Less time taken to get it right enough to show you the true color of a card and other items...and all for a heck of a lot cheaper than ordering online, or your cardboard made, becoming a cats napping area...twice!

I have come up with a better formation than this so it will actually save more. Too excited to show you!

 *So check back to this post I will edit with that formation (with pics) and accurate supplies!

It's still not done I still have to get backing pieces but...

Here's the scoop: PVC 1/2'' cut at 16''...I'm thinking I might make them 12'' instead.

8 three-ways for the corners

2 -$5 lights at the big orange box store.

2 yards white cotton, check your remnants. Velcro, I sewed mine, there are no sew kinds for fabric.

The best part, it comes apart and stores away nicely, going to make a bag, when time permits.

Need more info Contact me.

Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner!

 It's Live today So I can finally show my winner.

This Card won in Decembers Stampin' Success, the Stampin' UP! Demo's Monthly Magazine. 

Most of you will never see it, only my Demo Friends, luckily I took a pic before mailing it off.

It was my very first Submit to the Magazine.

I "think" of submitting for all kinds of contest, either time never permits or I'm just a chicken.

Buck.....

This part was actually a mistake but I did a little fix and really liked it.

So when the card is shut there's this curve to this part of the card in the shape of the punch.

Need to know more...Contact Me.

Have a Great Weekend!

Real Quick..

It's my day and I'm taking advantage...Mani-Pedi.....Shopping!!!!!

After I  go to the stinkin post office and Bank...well maybe the bank will give me a card and maybe there will be some money in it...why not I'm always giving it to them.☺

This card is using an Envelope sealed shut and Sliced.

Make a card front Glue to sealed flap side of envie. Make an insert.

WA La!

Happy Happy Happy!

Honey Pumpkin Birthday Butter

A Couple of weeks ago was Lisa Freeman's Birthday and she got my 

Honey Pumpkin Butter it's so Yummy just ask her and all who celebrated with us.

The pic taken in a quick  "Oh I have to get a picture of this," moment

is in the Man cave, it was rainy, so not as nice as I would like but...

I have remedied that (seems like I keep trying) and I will show you soon and it's for good this time.

Like the Butter receipt? 

Super simple and I know most of you have some kind of cute container to put it in, if not

just eat it right out of the bowl!

Pumpkin Butter

1 stick of Butter

1/2 cup Honey

3 Tablespoons of Pure Pumpkin

1 Teaspoon Pumpkin Spice

Let butter soften in bowl you will mix it in 

add all Ingredient's and Just Beat It!

WOO! 

Wear your white Glove too,  makes it taste better...Not!

You can make several batches at a time, say like 3 sticks of Butter☺, 

just make sure all other ingredient's add up too. 

I also do not add all the honey, with 3 sticks I only added about a half of a bear. I left him some☺

Have a great Weekend! 

Pumpkin....Apple....Anyone!

Back....

Just a little time away...OK more than a little.

Just a few...OK more than that, "Life" is a happen-in Hot Stuff (old movie quote) 

It's been Crazy around here!☺

Not much stampin happen-in around here either, I will remedy that though.

So bare with me, as I get back to normalcy, I do have to say, all this craziness has been kind of fun!

I'm sure I will will tell you more in future posts.

This card is a change up from another card by Lisa Johnson, in an older stamp book I found on the clearance rack...remember to check those, surprisingly they do put stamping book on them GASP!

I just used Stampin' UP!® Stamps and paper.

Card cut from Baja using stamp sets Extreme Elements and Vintage Vogue.

Bottom paper is from Bear paper, name escapes me and my catty is packed up.

Sponged with Pear Pizazz.

Sponge black all around and spritz with black also.

Kind of a Grungy look.
