Snowman Soup and new templates

These are some some Snowman Soups I made for a fund raiser for my Spouse's Club here on FE Warren.  These went together really simply thanks to Lauren's Timeless Templates from Papertry Ink- her milk carton and holder.  There are 2 packets of hot cocoa and a small baggie of the Christmas shaped marshmallows.  Very cute!!!  They were a hit!!!  You know how I love templates.......

Details- ALL Stampin' Up!!!

Just a note of interest, Lauren Meader will not be designing any new Timeless templates for Papertrey- you can still buy all of them though.  She has a new store- My Time Made Easy with all new templates.

Another more interesting note is that my friend, Leigh Ann, has started her own line of templates on her blog- Perfect Presentation- she is the one that introduced me to the joys of templates (she's the devil- hehe!).  Check her out!!!  http://stampingwithannieb.blogspot.com/  She has 3 new templates ready to buy- AWESOME!!!

HALLOWEEN HOOP-LA day 14

Eyeball Box!!!!

This is one of Lauren Meader's Timeless Templates- Tucked Away- (yes, I can tell you this, I just can't post a LINK to how you can buy yourself one- that is what the new IDA said I COULDN'T do.) the small size.

Supplies- Old Oive, Basic Black, Whisper White CS. Cast-a-Spell DSP. White gel pen. Real Red Marker.  Scallop, 1 3/8", 1/2" circle punches.

What does one put into this box????

One more Bunco prize

This is the second part of the boobie prizes for my Bunco game.  I made 6 of these for different Bath and Body items- the smaller ones.  Timeless Templates Purse-onality Clutch.  Same info as yesterday's box.

Bunco Prize

My spouses group had their BUNCO function last night.  I was the one in charge and am glad it was over AND was a success!!!  To make the boobie prizes seem somewhat better, I made boxes (of course!!) for them!  And of course, I used a Timeless Template......  the is the picnic basket.  There is a lot of retired items on this.  I used Kraft paper for the base, retired Urban Oasis DSP from last Spring, Baha Breeze CS and ribbon, Flower Fusion Too, and a big flower brad.

Last "Martha" gift

This is the last gift set I made Martha. Her husband's commander is moving next door to her and she wanted something a little special.  I made a Timeless Template Lunchbox, Desk Organizer, card and a tray.  Inside the lunchbox is a small bottle of lotion.  I thought she could put cookies in the tray.  The base of the lunchbox is Baha Breeze.  The desk organizer- Kiwi Kiss.  The DSP is from a retired pack- Urban Garden.  So pretty and fresh looking!!!

I will be MIA this week.  Rich's dad, stepmom, sister and brother are coming out from PA for Cheyenne Frontier Days.  We went to a parade today- it was great!!!!  Going to a carnival on Monday, (another) concert Wednesday night, and a quick trip to Mt. Rushmore before they leave- whew!!!!

The last picnic basket......

.....................for Martha's order!!!  It won't be the last one you see from me!!!  This is another taller basket.  I used the retired Sweet Always DSP.  For the handles, I took the handles from the template and put them on scalloped borders- LOVE IT!!  I also wanted to play off the polka dots in the DSP- I used 1" circle punches, the large flat brads, the smaller flat brads, and you can't tell- but I also stamped the sides of the basket with the Polka Dot BG stamp.

The 3rd basket

This is the 3rd basket I designed for Martha's order.  I made this a "taller" basket.  See the yellow strip at the top?  I didn't fold it over, but left it unfolded- the basket is now an 1 1/4 taller!!  I used Kiwi Kiss CS and the (also retired) Good Morning Sunshine DSP.  For the top I used some So Tweet On Board Chipboard.  Again, for the handles, I chose the striped ribbon and the large flat brads.  On the card I used a small flat brad so it would match.

Martha's order #2

This is the 2nd picnic basket I did for my friend Martha.  I used the retired DSP- Washington Apple.  The base is Bashful Blue.  I also used the Daisies #2 die for the top and the card.  Instead of a paper handle, I used the Red Ridinghood striped ribbon.  I attached it to the picnic basket with the large silver brads- I used one on the card as well. 

An Order!!!

My friend Martha placed "on order" with me.  She wanted some of "those picnic baskets" for housewarming gifts.  She lives on base and it's a big turn over year with old friends leaving and new friends moving in!  This is the first one I completed for her.

This is the entire gift- she will add cookies to the basket.  I used retired SU DSP and an In Color, but I like how it turned out!!  The paper is from last fall- Urban Garden- I think......  I also used the Upsy Daisy stamp set on the card.  I used Baha Breeze and Basic Gray CS.

I have a *few* more projects to work on for her!!  Summer is hard.
