Bloggers Challenge Week 18-Hanna's Mistletoe

So, the challenge this week was to create a card or item primarily with Designer Paper. I decided to make this 2-5-7-10 box that was designed by Jenn Balcer. See the Tutorial Here on Splitcoast Stampers. To see other great DP projects, check out the links to my fellow challenge bloggers as listed on my sidebar.

The main image on this little gift box comes from Hanna Stamps-'Tis the Season, Available TODAY over at Hanna Stamps. Our Generous Kristi is still offering free shipping all around the world!!!!! Don't forget to check out Hanna Stamps Design Team blogs for more great samples!!!!!

The paper used on this project is from DCWV Christmas Stack. There is a lovely assortment of paper in this stack and the price was definitely right!!!!! Circle and Scallop Punch are from SU! The red border on the lid of the box was crated with the Martha Stewart Border Punch. A little Real Red Ribbon finishes the box of quite nicely I think!!!!!!

I'm Home!

I am home!!! I actually was released from the Hospital Friday morning, which was about three days ahead of schedule. Determined to stay there for as little time as possible, I willed myself to get up and walk as well as do all the other little things that I was required to do before they would let me come home.

Although I still feel pretty much like I have been run over by a Mack Truck, I know that I am well on my way to healing! Last week I had these visions of coming home and getting right to work on all these projects that I have milling around in my mind, but really, it was all that I could do to make it up to the bathroom, shower and receive a few visitors. I am feeling progressively stronger each day and think that I might get a little something done!

I made this little card last week using Hanna and Imaginisce Papers. I find this paper line to be so rich and am looking forward to what they will come out with next! The Paper is very good quality double sided cardstock (the lime paper pieced purses are the opposite pattern to the brown) and I find the designs and colours so vibrant. I used Stampin' Up! Ballet Blue and Chocolate Chip Cardstocks to compliment this DP and coloured Hanna with SU's! Aquapainters and Watercolour Wonder Crayons. The small sentiment stamp is from Studio G clear Stamps.

I purchased a Making Memories Grommet setting kit last Christmas (everyone should by themselves a little present too huh??!!) and haven't used it much as I have not done as much scrapbooking as intended. I have managed to place them on a couple of cards now and quite like the look that they achieve.

Well I am determined to get well really soon so that I can share lots and lots of neat ideas with you over the next several weeks!!!!!!

Stop by soon and see what's cookin' over here!

Halloween Popcorn Slider

Hello!!! Hope you all had a great weekend! Mine was spent busily doing some deep cleaning, seeing that I won't be able to do much for the next several weeks.

This Halloween Popcorn slider is a really cool project that was posted on Splitcoast Stampers today. For directions, go to This Thread

I used the Autumn Apparitions set for this project. Thanks to my friend Brenda for lending me the set!!! i may have to break down and order it because it is absolutely adorable!

I used the Creepy Designer Paper from Stampin' Up! as well as Black, Really Rust and Whisper White. I coloured the vines and stems with an Artichoke Stamp'n write marker and sponged Artichoke ink to the edges of the main image. A little Pumpkin Ribbon threaded through the layered circle completes the project.

Well, I hope to post early next week. I am off to the Hospital in the morning and don't anticipate that I will be out before Friday. Please send good vibes my way tomorrow!!!!!

Happy Stamping!

Hanna's Hatbox

You wouldn't be surprised, but Hanna has a few hatboxes. this little Hatbox looks like it might hold some Bon Bons (yeah I know, I'm always thinking Chocolate!) or some Pretty Sandals.

This Bright and Cheery Card was Made with images from the "But I need it" Stamp Set, newly released this month. Go on over to the
Hanna Website to Check it out. Kristi is offering Free Shipping for the month of October.

This was a quick and easy card as the gorgeous DP from Imaginisce did a lot of the work for me! All I added was a punched border (Martha Stewart Crafts) in Pixie Pink and som eof this Yummy Olive Wide Grosgrain from Stampin' Up! anchored with some of their Brass Hodgepodge Hardware. I stamped the sentiment directly onto the striped paper, painted the hatbox with SU! markers and aquapainters and punched and layered the circle images. Using Designer Paper can save you so much time when you need to whip up a card in a hurry!!!!!!

Hope you have a great day!!!!!
