Its all about the mittens….

I admit – I’m a mitten fan.  I even have a pair of red ones!  I know – gloves are so much more practical, but I love my mittens anyway (much better for making snowballs!).

When I saw the current challenge over at the Impression Obsession blog – make something inspired by the song “My Favorite Things” from the Sound of Music (cue Julie Andrews!), I knew right away which stamp to use!

I love this mitten stamp. I made my mittens red with Copics and colored the snowflake stitching with a white Inkessentials pen. I tried to add a little “knitty” texture with my colorless blender – but it does not show up too well in the picture.  I stamped the image twice and popped my lower mitten up on foam tape to give it more dimension.

The kraft background is stamped with the Snow Flurry background stampin Versamark Cloud White and the sentiment is from the Sentiment Collection I clear set.

Mittens – one of my favorite things….. Although, I do like those brown paper packages too….

Speaking of favorite things, make sure you leave a comment on this post telling me your family’s favorite homemade treats for a chance to win the new Christmas Foliage digi stamp set.

Also – make sure you come back on Saturday for the Winter Wonderland Blog hop!

Fourth Friday Challenge for September 2010

Its Fourth Friday challenge time again – can you believe it!  Time sure flies!

This month, we want to see all your wonderful Halloween ideas! 

It can be any type of project:  card, scrap page, alerted item, treat pack – we want to see them all.  The only rule is that you link up a project newly created for this challenge, although feel free to combine it with other current challenges out there in blogland.  

Although we would love to see all the art you care to share, everyone will be entered in the prize drawing only once.  One winner will be drawn randomly to win the prize.  You have until midnight (EST) on Saturday, October 2nd to link up your project.  Just click the little froggy face at the bottom of this post to add your project.

Your prize this month is this wonderful Halloween sentiment cling stamp.  Can’t wait to see what you create!

 For my project, I created another treat box. 

I used the clear pillow box for my base.  I really like how thick and sturdy they are.  The Witch is from the Best Witches cling stamp set.  I colored her with copics and used a circle cutter to cut around her partially.  Then I cut the rest with scissors so part of her sticks outside the circle.  She is matted on a circle and scalloped circle cut with Spellbinder dies.

The tag is from the Bump in the Night clear set – the definition is too funny!  I used the same set to stamp the Trick or Treat on the purple strip in white.

The purple is cardstock punched on both sides with the Scalloped-scallop border punch.  I inked the tag and the Witch image background with Scattered Straw Distress Ink and a duster brush.

Here are all my project pieces:

For the ribbon. I just colored the plaid ribbon from the I Want it White collection with my Copic YG-25 marker.

Here is the back.

So that is my project – I hope you link up your projects (with the little froggy at the bottom of this post).  I’d love to see them! 

Need a little more inspiration?

How about this cute treat holder from Amber?  She used the Candy Corn clear stamp set with the pillow box for her creation.

Or maybe this wonderful project by Linda?  She used the Happy Halloweenie cling set (bet you didn’t know that skeletons could be cute!).
