Brentwood Hills Craft Fair

Me at the Brent wood Hills Craft Fair Staturday November 8th!

Scrapbbok Tins, Journal Tins and Candy tins are all hot items this year!



This is my card spindle which I bought off a local craft store. It had three tiers to it and my husband took out the third tier and made a table topper for me with the other section. It is so wonderful to have such a handy supportive husband. The other hanging sections with the candy tins in it are racks that my friend Diana picked up at Jo'Anns in Temple Terrace for a couple of bucks when they were going out of business. I couldn't believe how good that worked out!What a space saver up and off the table.

Check out my little Christmas tree ( found it at Beall's for $12.99, it even has lights) with the Christmas ornaments on them! There's my table top card spindle.

Here is the gift box sets and all the stocking fillers!

Brentwood Hills Craft Fair

Hope you enjoyed the photos from the craft fair I went to yesterday!

Traffic was pretty slow compared to last year, but it was a great opportunity

for me to practice my set up for the next two larger craft fairs I have coming up this month!

All of these items are on sale right now in my craft store. Feel free to stop by and browse around.

I met some really great fellow crafters yesterday! Looking forward to seeing them again at other events! I have to say thanks to my friend Wendy, who without her help

none of this would be possible. Also, my good buddy Diana came and hung out with me too.

Diana is a wonderful friend to have you can always count on her. She will doing a craft fair in Temple Terrace next weekend. I will give you the details when I get them!

Punch Pal's on Acetate

I think this is my favorite Christmas card yet! It was inspired and totally cased except for the base color from my friend Sylvia Cuillo who gave it to me as a swap at our last group meeting!

I rushed home and made 20 of them in various colors for my craft fairs!!

I stamped on the acetate with White Stazon with the snowflakes from

The Winter Post and Snow Swirled stamp sets! On the outside of the card is white craft ink the Stazon is too light for that pop that your looking for on the outside!

Hope you like it! I sure did! Sylvia's swap was amazing!

Thanksgiving Faux Silk Card

We made this card this weekend at my crop class!

I used a retired stamp set, from the Country Living promotion a couple years back.

I love this set, I can't make myself get rid of it!

We learned this technique at our annual Hawaiian Ink group meeting last weekend!

We will be learning this technique at our Christmas card classes in December!!

I am making a few of these to sell at my craft fairs!

A Very Special Thank You!

I did The local Buckler Craft Fair back in August of this year. I met his girl who had that crazy look in her eye that I recognized immediately when she walked up to my booth. She had won a gift certificate from the craft fair for $20.00 and she could spend it anywhere she wanted to in the whole craft fair. She came walking up, with her eyes all lit up, they were sparkling like only a lady who knows the joy of stamping, crafting and scrap booking could! Yes, she had the look! I was very busy, but I new she would be back. She looked all around the fair and came back and spent her $20.00 with me and signed up for one of my Scrapbook DVD tin classes. She came to class and girlfriend was decked out in the latest designer scrappin gear! If we had been in a mall she would have been the "Coach Store" okay? MY other ladies, who were kinda of just getting their feet wet said, "this girl is SERIOUS about all this business." Well ladies, let me tell you this young lady has turned out to be an amazing stamper and crafter! She has been helping daily prepare all my projects for the upcoming event s that I have, plus she is of course now in training for becoming a demonstrator!(Remember, I told ya the look in the eye). I could have never been able to produce this much in this period of time without her. I am doing The Buckler Craft Fair Thanksgiving Weekend and have been able 2 add in 2 more craft fairs before that thanks to her help!! The girl has" mad skills" we like to say! She is getting ready to move and join her husband in Korea(he is in the military) and I am going to miss her so much!! But she is definitely going to be taking Stampin' UP! to Korea, that is if she can pass her color chart test before she goes!! LOL
Wendy, thank you for all your hard work and most of all for your friendship! That is what I love the most about SU is all the wonderful people I have met through my journey as a demonstrator.

Christmas Ornaments

All these Christmas ornaments (Round coasters from your local restaurant) were made by my friend Wendy and I for my upcoming craft fairs! They turned out so cute. Using our cutting system we just cut out Ski SlopeDesigner Christmas DP along with Red Rider DP and matching colored Cardstock for the back.Then we took some of the On Board Something Seasonal chipboard on the back and embossed it in gold or silver so they could slip a little picture in.So they could use them as gift tags that turn into ornaments for their tree!

What do ya think? Bless Wendy's heart she is getting a major crash course in embossing!!
