Another cute box
Then adhere the bottom flaps to close.
Here's what my finished box looked like. I used this cute Halloween ribbon I got from Fay last year...Thanks Fay! Remember this?!
I just love this stamp "Treats Only Please"...is that cute, or what!? If you create one of these boxes, don't forget to post a link so I can see it!

Reindeer Pillow Box treat
Well, remember I said that I bought a whole bunch of goodies from J's Knicknacks on Friday? I love everything I bought!! Here's a cute little treat I made by cutting out this pillow box with acetate. The pillow box is a sizzix die and I believe the acetate is actually one of those clear report covers I got from Fisher. The die is from a set of 4 sizzlets called Winter Set #3 and includes dies of a Santa, a Snowman, a Penguin and this cute Reindeer!
I didn't have any Christmas candies, so I stuffed in a pack of sixlets and then wrapped around some 5/8" red grosgrain ribbon. It looked kind of blah, so I added a scallop circle punched out using my marvy mega punch (Kiwi Kiss CS). Final touch was to add some gold cord. I already die cutted and assembled all 4 characters, so I will be posting them as soon as I'm done creating something with them!
Come back tomorrow for another fantastic LCWC! It's a color challenge!

Cute little Liesel
While shopping at Cute Stuff one day, I found this stamp and just had to buy it so I could make Donna a bunch of cards. Here's one of the cards I made for her. The ribbon is kind of big, but I like it anyway...
Hope you are all having a nice and relaxing Sunday. I went shopping at J's on Friday and bought alot of new things, so I will be playing with them and hopefully be able to post some of the projects that I made with them.

My friend, Frank
Of course, I am not the originator of these cute treat holders. I got the whole idea from Cambria Turnbow's blog called Stamp a Little Love Baby. Cami has some super duper ideas and tutorials - go check out her blog HERE! She made Frankie and Frankette...she was really cute, but I thought that mass producing Frankies was a job in itself! haha! Thanks to Wini who gave me a hand on Saturday to finish up these guys...
Don't they look so cute all huddled together?? Will the REAL Frankie please come forward? Thanks for dropping by today!
Aloha Friday is tomorrow and I will be sharing a cute bag using one sheet of paper that Joy taught us how to make.

Halloween Hello Kitty
After I got this cute rak from Joy with the Halloween Hello Kitty on it, I knew I wanted to make a Halloween Hello Kitty using my Sizzix diecut.I used a thin chipboard to cut out the head only from this die (this die comes with the whole body and some overalls that she is wearing). It was easy to cut off the just the head portion. I know that doesn't sound right, but you know what I mean :) I then cut out a witches hat (by hand, no diecut) to go on her head. Found this star punch which was just the right size!
LCWC #14
Anyway This week, LCWC #14 is a sketch challenge, Jen created this neat and simple sketch for us to follow using our Hanna Stamps and no sentiment.Here is my take on the sketch. Sorry, but I had to add a ribbon even though the sketch didn't call for one :)
I applied some crystal effects in the coconut drink to make it look like liquid, but I guess the area is so small that it didn't show up in the photo. Again stickles on her skirt - it seems to work for me on this image but if you notice, I used a darker shade of green this week.
Supplies:
Cardstock: Pink Pirouette, Kiwi Kiss, Chocolate Chip (Sorry, forgot the name of the DSP as it was a scrap piece!)
Images - Hula Hanna (get them at Little C's!)
Image was colored with copic markers except for the Hanna's top, I used Regal Rose (SU).
Accessories: Stickles, crystal effects, flower punch, rhinestones, 5/8" regal rose grosgrain ribbon, Marvy Giga scallop oval punch
Please check out the creations from other design divas who played this week:
Jen, Maria, Ellie. Risa. Jean
Wanna win a prize? Create a card using the above sketch and post a comment with your link on Jen's blog - Pieces of Me. Check out her blog for all of the details!
Mahalo for your visit! Hello Kitty Halloween creation to be posted tomorrow!
OMG! What's up with blogger???
OMG! Today is LCWC #14 and I created a post last night for my take on this week's challenge. Well, this morning, all the photos on my post were gone as I went back in to "edit" and add in the links for the divas who are playing this week. I KNOW I saved, in fact, I always save several times while I'm drafting the post just to make sure, if you know what I mean! I am bummed. So sorry friends :(
I have had some problems with my blog (uploading, etc.) earlier...anyone else with problems?
Well, now that I am at work, I cannot pull up any photos of my card or the sketch since it is saved on my home computer, so I guess you'll all just have to wait til I get home from work to post my creation - boo hoo! I am so sad.
But since you are here, you might want to check out the creations by my fellow design team divas' blogs to see what they came up with this week!
Jen, Risa, Jean, Maria and Ellie... and don't forget to get all of the details and last week's challenge winner at Jen's blog, Pieces of Me...
Thanks for your visit, I appreciate you

October class moved to early November
What a hectic month! Can you believe that it's almost the end of October? Eeks! Well, I finally got some mojo back and Wini and I spent all night creating projects for the now November classes for giftcard holders and fun gifts.
The dates for the two classes will be on Saturday, November 1 and Saturday, November 8 both classes will start at 10 AM and end at 1 PM at my home. I know I usually hold the classes on Sundays, but these dates work best for my schedule since I will be working at the Blaisdell Center for Berry Sweet Bath & Body on Thanksgiving weekend.
If you are interested in attending or would like more information, please send me an email! If you are on my email list to receive notices for my classes, you will be receiving an email shortly. If you do not receive an email, please email me!
Space is limited to 10 seats per class so if you are interested, please email me to reserve your space today!!
Here's a sneak peek at a few of the projects we will be making. I'm so pleased with all of the projects - you won't be disappointed.
Come back tomorrow for LCWC #14! Thanks for your visit, it made my day!
This PINK is for YOU!
