My Stampin' Gals!

I just love these girls! They belong to a participatory stamp club that we hold each month for my higher level Stampers!   They come up with the most creative projects and they tell me they learned a lot from me;-)

This was taken at our Christmas exchange where we exchanged handmade cards of course!

Wow!

Look at these beautiful cards I got to bring home from our Stampin flu card exchange! Stacy Atchison-you are a creative genius! She made all of these adorable cards using the top note die! I just love them!

Gift Bag

This is the gift bag I made to put Nora's teacher's happy in! I hope she enjoys it!

Spooky Owl

Isn't it amazing what you can do with a Big Shot and a little imagination? Thank you Kim Newcomb for sharing this spooky owl fancy favor bag with us!  I for one think it's Spook-tacular!

Spooky

This is my first Halloween card and I still love it! Hope it gets you excited about Halloween!

Just Fur You

I am continuing to love working with the Hot Diggity Dog Stamp Set!  It is so versatile!  Today I am featuring Stampin' Ups! 1 x 8 clear bags which are holding cute little pup treats!  How fun would a this be as a little happy for someone who just got a dog, your own fur baby, or for a friend you are visiting with a petite pooch!

Just imagine this bag filled with M & Ms instead, and with a Halloween topper!  What great treats to give out to your little ghosties!  Really, you can do many kinds of small treats with these!

I hope you enjoyed the project!  Thanks for peeking in!

Thank You

These are the cards I made and included in my September Customers' orders.  They are 3x3 cards and were so quick and simple to make!  The truth is though, that each  of my ladies and so many of you bring me inspiration in ways you would never imagine!

Thanks for stamping with me ladies-I look forward to many more stampin' days ahead!

Stampin' Fun!

A little of this and a little of that and a crazy fun husband just goes to show you that stamping with Simply Shannon is fun month after month!  These pics are from my "Over 40 'Winers' Club!"  (I think a couple of us are under 40, but I will let you guess who!)  We have a lot of fun and someone new earns hostess benefits every month!  We all share and learn from each other!  We would love for you to join us!

Remember awhile back when we made these cute little purse organizers in class?  Don't  you think they would make great gifts for some of the peeps on your holiday list?  They are perfect for your purse or desk!  They are hard covered, have a note for receipts, and you always have a notepad and pen ready!   Even better, it is pretty and all coordinates!  Wanna know what the best reason to give this these as a gift is????? They are customizable!  You may choose colors, sentiments, or they can even be monogrammed!!!!  I am selling them for $8.50 or two for $15.00.  Think of all those people that you want to acknowledge during the holidays-co-workers, your child's teachers and coaches, your sister or bestie?  Make your list and order your today!

Birthday Bliss

 Today I thought I would take a moment and share the birthday items I made for my daughter's sixth!  We decided on a mermaid theme and had an old-fashioned party at home!  I LOVE planning birthday parties and showers!  I kept our party on a tight budget and spent only about $115 including the food, decor, favors and prizes for games!  I received great feedback from the parents and mermaid guests!  Here are a few pics!

My Little Mermaid

These were the goodie bags!  I got the bags for 50% off at Hobby Lobby so they were about $1.50 for all twelve!

Each was adorned with a beautiful punch art mermaid and filled with treasures from the Dollar Tree!  Cute huh?

Our food was themed too and oh so easy!  Carrot sticks were crab legs, sea cucumbers goldfish, and seaweed made of green grape skewers!  Add some Hawaiian punch for Ocean waves and cupcakes and it made for happy kiddos!

Decor was on clearance at party city so for the hanging sea stars and table skirt I paid $3.50.

My favorite mermaid-the birthday girl-wanted a throne so we grabbed the reading chair from her room as well as her Ariel blanket, threw in some balloons and voila' a throne King Tritan himself would love!

A rousing game of seashell bop-if you got a balloon with a message inside, that mermaid popped her balloon and followed directions-such as squawk and flap your arms like a seagull for a prize!

The ornament punch made for great fishy cupcake toppers-they shimmer too, but that really doesn't show up well in the picture!


We played a few more games and the birthday girl opened her gifts and we all enjoyed a wonderful time!

Let me know if you would like help planning your next parry or  shower!  I can help with the invitations to the thank you cards and everything in between!
