Next UP!

Oh my goodness have I been busy. Both with the family & stamping. I should have a new post every day for the next few days at least. So much is coming up for the next few months. It is just crazy. Make sure you keep an eye on my class & events schedules they will be filled in soon. Get signed up for your favorites as soon as possible because space is limited.
Ok today's post goes with the previous one. It is a pendent made with designer paper & a washer. Yes I said a washer, like bolt, nut & washer. At my gift event on December 4th, you will be able to choose a bracelet &/or a pendent set that will have 5 interchangeable washers decorated front & back, 2 different colored bracelet &/or pendent straps and will come in a metal tin that we will decorate with a designer paper bow. I will post the tin & bow on a later post, hopefully next week.

This is the front but could be switched around to be the back.

With this side. Sorry about the blurry picture...not sure what happened with that one. : )

Here it is so you can see the whole necklace. It has a lobster clasp it is just hard to make out in either of these pictures.


















The next post will be a spooky one. Be on the look out tomorrow (hopefully).

Finally...

Fall is just insane in our house. From football to marching band to dance classes starting, it's amazing I can find my shoes some days. I have been working on getting my events through the end of the year together. Isn't it crazy that the holiday season will soon be upon us. I will be posting items that will be from all of my upcoming events. Make sure you check out my events & classes schedule so you can get signed up for all of your holiday favorites. Today's post is one of the bracelets that we will be making at my Holiday Gift event. There will be many amazing gifts to make that day & this is only 1 of 5 bracelet designs offered.

 This is the front view while it is on my wrist...not easy to do take a picture using only 1 hand on the camera.








This is the clasp. Sorry it is kinda blurry. Again not easy taking a picture with only 1 hand.






The bracelet view from the front.

Here is the view from the back. You can actually switch the charm around & wear whichever side you like.








Be on the look out for the other bracelet designs as well as pendents. They will be made with a coordinating holiday gift box (to be pictured soon). Thanks for stopping by.

Last Pictures of the Build a Bears

Thank you to my wonderful guest at my Build a Bear Event. To my followers I am so sorry I haven't posted anything in over a week. Those Bears were taking up all of my "free" time & some of my family time too. But I did promise to post them all so here are what I believe are the last 3 bear cards. Sometime this week I will post the journals that I made for my customers at the event. Thanks again ladies for the wonderful afternoon.

Sorry the pictures are not that great of quality. I was taking them very quickly when I set up for my guests.

The Royal Blog Tour

I am so excited. As some of you might have already noticed, there is a new symbol on my blog right above my picture. It is the Royal Blog Tour symbol & I am going to be 1 of the 72 blogs that will be on it. The next tour starts on Thursday November 4th (the day after my youngest daughter Alexis turns 16). So I will be posting reminders a couple of times until then. But for now I just wanted to share my excitement about being on the tour. I hope you are all of to a wonderful start to your week.

Craziness Everywhere!

Oh My Goodness! This weekend has just been madness. After taking my daughter Kayla to take her drivers license test Friday morning, we had our high school Homecoming parade & football game Friday night. Luckily the rain held off until the 4th quarter & WE WON. That makes my son's team 3 - 0. GO DUNLAP! Then Saturday morning I had a meeting with the wonderful group of demonstrators who are participating in "A Card for Every Season". Registration for this great event ends 1 week from today & spots are filling up quickly. Only 25 left after yesterday. Be on the look out for my card design in the next few days. Possibly some others as we lead up to the event. Then after my meeting I grabbed both of my daughters to go Homecoming dress shopping. Yes as of 6 hours before the dance neither one of them had a dress yet. That is so un-me. I am usually way on top of things but with Homecoming being 2 weeks earlier than normal I was not. Luckily both girls found their dresses & jewelry at the 1st store we went too. With being earlier than everybody around there was tons to pick from & we tried on a lot. So Homecoming is now over for another year & I need to get cutting on bears for next weekend. I am glad so many of you have enjoyed them & there are still a few more to come. Without further ado...Here is You're Pawsitively Perfect.

















This Perfect card was designed by fellow Stampin' Up Demonstrator Nancy Horn. You can find her blog by clicking Here Where she has both cards that I will be featuring at my event. Thanks Nancy for the awesome share.
I hope you all are having a nice relaxing Sunday. I for 1 am ready for some NFL football. Which is always great family time at our house.

So Much Going On!

WOW! There is so much going on in my house this week it is just crazy. I had a GREAT time yesterday at our Holiday Mini Event. Myself & 4 other Demonstrators taught some wonderful ladies how to make 6 great projects using items from the new Holiday Mini Catalog. Met some new people & saw some familiar ones too. Thanks to all for making it a successful event. Hopefully we will see you next year.
For today, I took my daughter Kayla to take her drivers license test as soon as all of the other kids were out the door to school. She passed...YEAH! and has a beautiful drivers license picture. Not that I am biased or anything. Today is Homecoming for our High School. My husband & I will be taking our 4 year old to watch his older siblings in the parade this afternoon. Then we are off to the BIG Game tonight. Let's Go Dunlap.
Now for some stamping. Today is the last day to register for my Build a Bear Event. If you haven't gotten registered call or email me ASAP. Can't wait to see the bunch of ladies that got signed up yesterday. I truly enjoyed getting to know you guys more yesterday. (I hope everything worked out with the horses at your house Cammie). So here is our next Girl Bear to celebrate the fact that Kayla got her license.




















The Beary Bright Girl was designed by fellow Stampin' up Demonstrator Debra Storbeck. The base of the card is so saffron. All of the Designer Paper is part of the Build a Bear Designer Paper pack. Her shoes, jacket & skirt are real red. The bear body is Whisper White with a So Saffron snout. Her eyes, nose & mouth are Basic Black. The brad is a So Saffron brad out of the Subtles color family. The stamps used on the outside of the card are the calendar background stamp, with the full calendar for the months. Inside the card is the word "To a Beary Wonderful Teacher" from the Season of Hugs stamp set in the new Holiday Mini catalog.
I hope you all of a wonderful weekend. I am not sure if I will get anything posted between now & Monday morning. But next week be on the lookout for the rest of the bears & my card design for my next large group of Demonstrator's event "A Card for Every Season." Registration Cutoff for that event is just 9 days away & spots are filling fast. As of yesterday we were at about 25 spots remaining. So get yours in today.

Double Trouble - Easter Boy & Girl

Today is a special day. To celebrate the Holiday Mini Extravaganza that myself & a group of demonstrators are hosting, you get to see 2 Bears. Double Trouble - Easter Boy & Girl. Both of these wonderful bears were designed by fellow Stampin' Up Demonstrator Susan Carlson. You can visit her blog by clicking Here. She says she is just getting it underway but everybody has to start somewhere right? These wonderful little Twins are just the thing to help us celebrate the Mini Extravaganza. I know a thing about twins too. My twins will be 17 in just a few short days & I am constantly trying to remind myself to enjoy every minute with them since they will be gone before I know it.

These twin cards are made very similar. The card base on the boy is bashful blue & it is pink pirouette for the girl. Both of their bodies are more mustard. With crumb cake ears & baskets. Their eyes, noses & mouths are chocolate chip. With soft suede for their shoes. The boy has hemp twine shoe strings. Their snouts are very vanilla. Their shirts both are so saffron. The girl's skirt is pretty in pink & the boys pants are marina mist. In each of their baskets they have a pink pirouette, bashful blue & so saffron egg decorated with dazzling diamonds glitter. The grass for both cards is wild wasabi that has been cut with paper snips to look more grass like. I love how she put their feet into the grass so some of it stands out.
If you have not signed up for my Build a Bear Event, tomorrow is the last day, so time is almost up.
