Here's my special Halloween treat for you!!!  Watch the Pirouettes cover "THRILLER"

Angie's band, The Pirouettes, performed "Thriller" at the Halloween Pops Concert in Shryock Auditorium on Southern Illinois University's campus.  Here's my cute Ladybug:


The Pirouettes, performed a cover of "Thriller" live on WDBX.org 91.1 FM.
Here's what Angie had to say on Facebook:

"Just like Amy Myers thought it was ok to not shower because we were playing on the radio, we thought it'd be ok to not have the words memorized since we were singing on the radio. once again, wrong. 

BUT nonetheless here's our version of THRILLER! Happy Halloween :)"







Community Radio for southern Illinois!!

My daughter, Angie, is the lead vocalist.
You can hear more of the Pirouettes' original music on YouTube

      I'm Dreaming of a PINK Christmas, Breast Cancer Awareness

      I'm getting excited about the Breast Cancer Awareness Stamp Camp that is scheduled for next week.  This is my 2nd Annual "I'm Dreaming of a PINK Christmas" event and it is in honor of my beloved Mother, Louise Mileur, who is celebrating her 20th year as a Breast Cancer Survivor!!!  Be sure to look at the previous post "Breast Cancer Awareness Stamp Camp", posted 10/12/2012, to get more info on this event.

      I've been trying to decide on cards for the event and so far I have two that I'm loving.  My first one was inspired by Nina Dee on Stampin' Connection.  This is Nina's card:
      http://deesignsbyninadee.blogspot.com
      Images (C) Stampin' Up!
      I loved the way that she made her wreath, so I CASE'd that part of her design, (after first getting her permission), then took the card in a totally different direction. I just LOVE the way it turned out.  Since both of our versions use the same card stock for the base and mats, my guests can choose which design they would like to do!!!
      Designed by Joyce Fisher
      Images (C) Stampin' Up!
      This next card was CASE'd with permission from Lorri Heiling on Stampin' Connection.  Lori's card was so adorable and as soon as I saw it I knew my friends would LOVE it!!!  Isn't it just too cute?!?!?!
      http://www.confessionsofastampingaddict.com
      Images (c) Stampin' Up!
      I had to make minor changes.  My Brushed Silver card stock cookie sheet is just a bit different because I didn't have the die that she had used and I also changed the oven mitt so it would fit my "Pink Christmas" theme.
      My version of Lorri's card.
      Images (c) Stampin' Up!
      I'm not sure if this little snowman made with the Petite Purse Die is going to "make the cut" or not, but I'm thinking that everybody loves candy, so far now he's a tentative project for the event.  I'll wrap the candy bars in pink designer series papers.
      I'm still trying to decide on other projects for the stamp camp.  I would like to have several projects for my guests to choose from.  Also, I need projects that are quick & easy for the beginner stampers as well as a couple WOW cards to challenge the more experienced stampers.  If you've designed a card that you think would be perfect for my "I'm Dreaming of a PINK Christmas" event I would love to see it if you are willing to share!

      For Those Thirsty Ghouls

      My baby sister, Monique, is a Pre-K teacher at a really cool private school.  It's one of the few schools left anywhere that lets their kids celebrate Halloween!  It's not just the last half hour of the day in the classroom either, it's the whole afternoon and the entire school is involved with all kinds of games and activities.  The local t.v. station comes every year to film their costume parade!

      At our recent stamp camp we were making all kinds of treat holders.  She wanted to make something special, but she knew the kids would already be getting a TON of candy at the school-wide Halloween party, and she didn't want to add to the sugar-high, so we came up with fun water bottles. 
      This would be great for your classroom, club meeting, or to put on your co-worker's desks.  It's easy, too!  We wrapped a piece of Howlstooth and Scaringbone Designer Series Paper around the bottle to cover up the label.  Then we punched a 2-3/8" scallop circle out of Tangerine Tango card stock and adhered it with Stampin' Dimensional foam dots.  I didn't have an assortment of Halloween stamps to use, so I turned to My Digital Studio (MDS).  I quickly downloaded the Spooky Bingo Bits and printed them out on Whisper White card stock, punched them out with the 1-3/4" circle punch and adhered them to the scallop circles with Stampin' Dimensionals foam dots.   
      To make the bottles even more fun for the kids, we adhered a 1" circle of Basic Black card stock to the lid and added a large Googly eye!!!
      Tricia, Sally, Bertie & Monique making Halloween treat holders.
      (Doesn't my baby sister have a beautiful smile?!?!?!)

      Monique is the one that should have a blog!  You can't believe all the fun stuff she does with her students.  I'm on her mailing list and every week when I get her classroom newsletter I wish I was a little kid!!!  I'm absolutely AMAZED at the things she teaches these 3-5 year old students.  The only problem is, I'm afraid it's all downhill from here for these kids; when they "Graduate" and go to grade school they are going to be sooooo disappointed.

      FREE Festive Paper-Piercing Pack!!!

      One week left to get the FREE Festive Paper-Piercing Pack!!!  See "The Fine Print" below.


      Here are three cards that I've made using this set.  The first one is my favorite.  I love the shimmer of the Silver Glimmer paper and I think the pearls add an elegant touch.  I've used the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder on the Very Vanilla background.  The sentiment is from Petite Pairs and it was punched out with the Modern Label punch.


      On the second card I used the pine tree from Lovely as a Tree to make the branches.  By stamping the image 2 - 3 times before re-inking you get a sense of depth to the branches.  The sentiment is from Delightful Dozen.  The colors I used were Old Olive, Real Red and Early Expresso.



       I love the 3D ornament on the third card.  It's so easy to make when you have the Holiday Ornaments Framelits Dies to cut out multiple images.  The background paper I used is from the Be of Good Cheer designer series paper in the annual catalog.  I embossed the Very Vanilla card stock with the Northern Flurry embossing folder.  The sentiment is from Fabulous Phrases, it was punched with the Large Oval punch and the mat was punched with the Scallop Oval punch.  The colors used were Cherry Cobbler and Gumball Green.

      No Tricks, Just Treats!

      (This stair-step card was inspired by Beth Rank's design.  I made just a couple of minor changes.)

      I just love Halloween!!!  I'm the house with the bubble & fog machines at the front door and the "Welcome" mat that makes scary noises when you step on it.  All the neighborhood kids know that as far as I'm concerned there is no such a thing as being "too old" to trick-or-treat.  I don't even understand why the community has an age limit for trick-or-treaters.  If you are 13, 18, or even 35 years old, and you still think its fun to dress up and go out on Halloween, then its okay with me.  I also HATE when communities schedule trick-or-treating for the weekend before Halloween.  Sorry, but Halloween should be held on Halloween!!!


      I've been having a lot of fun making treats with the freakin' cute supplies from Stampin' Up!  I think the kids are going to love them.  I have a variety of treats to hand out.  The better the costume, the better the candy!!!  For the most adorable kids & the most creative costumes, I have this great "Dizzy Pop".  The best part of this sucker is that it spins!!! 


      I've seen these suckers at some stores for as much as $3.99 but I found them at the Dollar Tree for just $1.  I added a 2.3/8" scallop circle punched out of Wisteria Wonder card stock, stamped the cute little spider from the Googly Ghouls stamp set on a round label from the Ghoulish Googlies Designer Kit and adhered it with Stampin' Dimensionals foam dots.  I stamped BOOOO on Pumpkin Pie card stock and adhered it with foam dots.  The goggly eyes make it so cute I could scream!  

       The Petite Pocket Die makes a perfect pouch for Pixie Sticks or other stick candy.
      I used Basic Black card stock to make the pocket & embossed it with the Spider Web embossing folder then wrapped it with Howlstooth & Scaringbone Designer Series Paper.



      It's so quick & easy to wrap a piece of Howlstooth & Scaringbone Designer Series Paper around a box of Sugar Daddies then add the adorable mummy for a fun treat.

      I love the Ghoulish Googlies Designer Kit & the Googly Ghouls stamp set for decorating treats!!!  The labels from the kit make the candy easy to decorate & the Googlies eyes add a really fun element.  





      See the "Yummy Gummies Skeleton Treat Box" for my all-time favorite Halloween treat holder!

      I hope you've been inspired to make special Halloween treats for all of your favorite ghoul-friends!
