It’s that time again!!!!

I currently have the March 13,14,15 weekend booked for the 4th retreat and I am capping it to ensure everyone is comfortable. Remember, the $165 (slight increase from the camp) fee includes: Accommodations (bunk style) in our OWN secure building, ALL meals, access to a full kitchen, a large area to work in with your own table that you can leave set up if you wish.  Come with just your Pj’s if you wish…….no need to leave the building when you want to sleep….IF you want to sleep!!  Haha.  We always have a great time and there are always prizes and draws….this time I will be doing some challenges and games too.  As usual, I will have all my stamps, tools, inks, reference books and die cutting toys.  Email me at amber@wildrosepapercreations.com to get your registration form.  Don’t delay, Spaces fill quickly!!! 

The recent All-Day Scrap, was a great success!! and I WILL be planning another All-Day Crop in the New Year as well….I just need to pick a date. Keep watching for updates.

So my hubby picked us up dinner the other night and my Son had chicken nuggets……as I emptied them from the container onto his plate I looked at the "nugget cup" and wondered if I could make something similar as they looked like the perfect size to hold a few treats and could use them for Rylan’s class Halloween party treats.  Well…….what do you think??  Cute huh?? and SUPER easy to make.  I will also make both a baby shower and wedding version to show how sweet they would be as a favours on a table.

Thanks for looking!!!

I got this great shaker card idea from the very talented Heather Summers . 

Step 1: Punch the largest punch in the coaster (i used 1 3/4 circle) 

Step 2: Lay your 4×4 piece of DSP over the coaster and then use the same punch to make a hole in the DSP

Step3: Mount a 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 pice of white cardstock on the back of the coaster behind the opening

Step 4: Make your rudolph circle making sure to leave the crystal effects and red glitter dry

Step 5: Attach the rudolph circles in the center of the white piece of CS

Step 6: Place a SMALL amount of micro beads and a dash of glitter to the "well" around Ruddie

Step 7: Glue a 2 1/2 x 2 1/5 piece of acetate over Ruddie and the beads….ensure you seal around the edges

Step 8: Cover the coaster with your DSP and smooth edges

Step 9: Stamp your message, punch scalloped edge, add ribbon to the coaster THEN mount coaster to your card.

Seems like a lot of work but they really aren’t as scary as they look…..

These were the cute little Halloween gift ideas my Stamp Club Members made at tonight’s meeting.  The cute little spiders were found on Splitcoast by Julie Case. The sweet little Top Note treat box tutorial can be found on Angie Tieman’s Blog. The treat bag topper uses my new favourite Sizzix die….the TOP NOTE!.

Have fun and Happy Halloween !!!
