Time for a Fun Door Prize idea, teacher gift, etc.

I made this especially for Deb S. party last night. She had one new guest who ended up getting this door prize gift. She LOVED it. So easy to make. I just used Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue (110755 $3.95) to glue the toothpicks onto the back of the pumpkin heads. Isn't this Fun!

ENJOY!

A little something I whipped up for Tickled Pink Coffee shop in Williams Bay Wi.

I have been selling my Cards there for over 2 years as well as a few little gift ideas. These are just the beginning of the Fall Season goodies.

On Saturday, October 1st, 2011 was World Card Making Day and 12 guest made these Fun projects:

My guests made a Box with three mini cards and envelopes, a Beautiful Fall card using the Size E Clear Block, Gift card holder, coasters and Home Decor idea. The Big Shot was the biggest tool for this class. I know it is "World Card Making Day" but I always make projects besides cards. We used the brand New Bigz Die Petite Pocket to make a cute gift card or Treat holder with the Pumpkin punched out. Oh so cute! Then we made a fun display for their home using leftover cinnamon sticks. Need to freshen them up-use a nutmeg grater or a nail file/sandpaper to enhance the aroma. The last project was the coasters using the Big Shot Multipurpose adhesive. This project was probably a Favorite. Everyone saw the potential for Holiday Gift Giving.

I also see a chance for me to make a video demonstrating this so easy idea. Plus, a few guests asked if I had info on this as they probably will forget when late November comes up! I will be working on that this week. It is time for a video. I also stated back in July one of my main goals is to have more videos for you. I am working on that for you now that the girls are both in school. I still like stamping and creating Late at night but lately, I am getting a lot more done during the day. Does that ring true for some of you?

So Thank You to My Guests, and those of you who could not make it-I have the projects finished and will be delivering them to you today!!! I also want to send a Shout out to the Demo's who I traded with at Convention and saw on their sites for ideas that inspired theses samples: Sandy Carlson, Gladys Reinks, and Becky Roberts. Thanks so much! You gals Rock. I will send an extra Special Shout out to Sudsol who at Convention sponsored a trading session and Sandy's Box with cards inspired me for this class as well as this Month's Special.

SPECIAL-Did we Write-SPECIAL. Oh Yes I did!!
