Momo's Birthday Bash Blog Hop! :)

HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, MOMO!! Thank you so much for allowing me to join you in celebration your special day! {{{ HUGS }}}

To everyone else - thank you for joining me today!! :) I have birthday invites that I made for my daughter's b-day which is next week. She wanted to have a spa themed sleepover. So this is what I came up with...

I made the cupcakes using these supplies for each one - 1 pair of socks, 1 knitted headband, and a silicone cupcake mold. The sign is made with 2 circle punches (the 2nd one is on the back and has all the details like date and time, etc) and one larger scalloped circle punch and a popsicle stick.

I placed the socks together, folded up the bottoms of the socks just a bit and placed the headband at the toe (I folded it so it wouldn't stick out the bottom). Then I rolled up the socks starting at the end with the toe and working toward the heel. I used one of the socks to secure the roll by pulling the opening up around the roll. Put the sock into the cupcake wrapper and then pinch and pull on the folds until you feel that they look like swirls of frosting. :)



We are planning on using the headbands during our facials, and the socks to help the foot cream absorb before the pedicures. So, this is not only pretty but functional - LOL! :)

In honor of Momo's birthday I am giving away a choice of one Scrappy Moms Stamps! You can see them HERE. Just leave me a comment with how to get in contact with you to enter.

Here is the hop list, be sure to visit all the awesome crafters - have fun! :)

Peachy Keen Oct Challenge!

This is my entry into the Peachy Keen Stamps October Challenge.


I used Paper Doll Dress up for all the cuts on this page except the clouds, which I hand cut. I used the Everyday Character Assortment stamp set for Dorothy's face. It's hard to see but the word "shoes" and Dorothy's ruby slippers have been stickled (click to enlarge - you can see it a little better, LOL)

Hope you enjoyed it!

Scrappy Moms Design Team Call !!! -- Updated

Hello, everyone! I hope you all are having a WONDERFUL Wednesday!

Tammy and I have had so many requests to join the Scrappy Moms Design Team that we have decided to add 3 spots! :)

You will have until Monday Oct 10/11 at midnight Pacific time to submit your project. You can create anything you like, if you have Scrappy Moms Stamps to use on your project that would be great but NOT REQUIRED. We are looking for creative crafters who love paper and stamps!


Submit a picture or scan of your project to our email - scrappymoms.stamps@gmail.com. Please include "design team project" in the subject of your email.

**** We have had a few questions about the number of pictures/projects you can submit. You are welcome to submit as many projects/photos as you want. The only rule for the call is that you submit your project/projects by the deadline. We're very casual at Scrappy Moms Stamps - crafting should be FUN! :) ****

Let us know if you have any questions and good luck!

Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner! :)

I have NO IDEA where this phrase comes from but it make me giggle!! LOL

So down to business - I FINALLY picked a winner from the Little Hop Of Horrors Halloween Hop.... (drumroll, please)....

Jennifer!!!

Mel, I can't think of a better prize!!! I am in love with all of the Scrappy Mom Stamps...it'll be so hard to choose one if I'm lucky enough to win! ;) I love the cards and goody bag you made!!! :) Which embossing folder did you use for the spider web? Thanks so much for sharing and for the chance to win such an amazing prize,

Jennifer, I am e-mailing you for your mailing address and choice of stamp sets. Congrats!! :)

I also wanted to address a couple of questions/comments...

1) The spiderweb embossing folder is made by Cuttlebug - Click HERE for more info

2) The vintage images are from the web - I just did a search for "vintage Halloween postcards". :)

3) A few visitors thought that I colored the images - I WISH I could color that well!! :) I actually printed the images on ivory cardstock to add to the vintage coloring.

I hope I answered all the questions, let me know if you have any others.

Halloween {{{ HUGS }}}!

LITTLE HOP OF HORRORS Halloween Blog Hop

Welcome, welcome, welcome!! I hope you had a frightfully fantastic visit with Meighen!

My project today is a collection of vintage Halloween cards...

I packaged them together in a cello bag with a topper - the "top note" shape is from Songbird and the spider is from Paper Doll Dress Up. All of the tags on the cards are cut from Once Upon a Princess.

I hope you like my enjoyed my All Hallow Eve Project! Don't forget to follow the blog all the way to Nicole at Canadian Nickel Scrap'n for a chance to win some great prizes!

Of course - I am going to giveaway some candy right here! Leave me a comment with a way to get in contact with you for a chance to win a Scrappy Moms Stamp set of your choice! If you enjoyed your visit I'd love for you to join in and follow too! :)

The next stop on the hop is the gruesomely delightful Patricia! Just in case you have lost your way the hop starts with Barb at Haunted Designs House.
