This curly DSP wreath ornament is so cute. To make it I used the circle sissors to cut my wreath out of cardstock to look like a doughnut. I then cut 2 more doughnuts out of sticky sheet and put them on both sides of the cardstock. I then cut many strips of DSP 1/4 by 3 inches long and curled it. The next one I make I will cut the stripes 6 inches long and curl from each end into the middle. Working on one side at a time apply your curls to the sticky sheet until it is covered and then do the other side. When Both sides were covered I then went around the outside edge with sticky stripe and the cover that with curls. Attach your elastic cord to hang your ornament and tie on a ribbon.
I finally got a chance to upload the Christmas ornaments that I was making. I made 36 of these little balls for Christmas presents. 
For my last stamp club I revisited a technique that I had shown a couple years ago. My club has changed so much it is time to bring back some of the old techniques. This is the shaving cream technique. I t gives a beautiful background and is so easy to do. Put a layer of the foam shaving cream in a pie plate about 1/2 in thick. Drop in a few drops of re-inker and swirl it with a knife. Lay your cardstock face down in the shaving cream making sure it is well covered. Pull it up scrap the shaving cream off with a spatula and the wipe gentlly with a paper towel. Let dry for a bit and then you can stamp directly over the shaving cream design or us as a background.
This was a big hit with my girls.
Birds and birdhouses are some of my favorite things so I have been playing with the chickadee from my last post and trying to come up with other birds. Today I got the cardinal to where I was satisfied with it. There is a bluejay in the making, watch for it in the next few days.
This morning we had a beautiful sunrise that inspired this card. The trees glitter and glisten. I made Dazzling Crystal, with a 1/2 bottle of crystal effect and 3/4 container of DD glitter. Just remember to shake the bottle well before use as the glitter settles to the bottom. I have been using this on almost everything I've made lately. Appling glitter this way eliminated having glitter everywhere.
Christmas is coming, so that means it's time to start thinking about Christmas cards. I am offering a Christmas card camp again this year on Nov 1st at my place( 3341 McConachie Ck Rd).
These are the designs we will be making. I will have everything pre-cut, all you have to do is stamp and assemble the cards. There will be 4 each of the 5 designs for a total of 20 cards, envelopes included. We will start at 1:00 and should finish around 4:30. The cost is $40. Pre-registry by Oct 25th is a must so I can have everything cut and ready to stamp. You can phone or email me to register.
