Stampin' Up NEW Seasonal Holiday Catalogue is HERE...

Woo hoo, today I can finally share our new Seasonal Catalogue!!!!

YEAH!!! I looove this catty. It's filled with so much Halloween and Christmas goodness that I don't even know where to start, but I think I've finally got a list together!! So, here are my top "10" must haves from our new catty:

10) Black and Orange and Gold and Silver glitter, perfect for all occasions but especially for Halloween and Christmas!!

9)  I love this Builder a Banner set. You could just buy the Banner kit and make banners for any occasion, whether it's Birthdays, Baby Showers, Weddings or add on the Halloween/ Christmas Accessory Kits and you have everything you need for a perfect themed banner. Great activity to do with the kids.

8) Speaking of Halloween, what about this cute little stamp set. I can't wait for mine to come as it will be the perfect size to put on tags for the kids to make and

take some treats to school for their friends.

7) WASI TAPE.... You can never have to much washi if you ask me and these two packs are gorgeous. I also love the fact that these can be used at anytime, not just for Halloween or Christmas!!

6)  This bundle has to be one of the loveliest so far. The snowflake stamps are gorgeous but throw in matching framelits and you have a winning combination.

5)  And to add a special message to one of those gorgeous Snowflakes, well why not one of these lovely Christmas Messages stamps!

4) Gold and Silver cardstock. Perfect for making gift tags and bows with!

3) Chevrons are so "in" right now so what could be more perfect then a Chevron punch!!

 

2) Oh how I love my Bigshot and all the wonderful things I can do with it. These Thinlits are simply gorgeous and can be used on so many things, other then cards or scrap pages. No Fussy cutting here girls!!!

1) Wow we finally got to number one... I gotta say I love these Simply Sent card kits. They are just perfect for someone who wants to send handmade cards but doesn't have the time to sit and mass produce heaps. Everything is done for you, all you have to do it put them together!!!

 So that's my top ten and gosh I had trouble narrowing it down to just that many. So why don't you go off and take a look for yourself and then come back and leave a comment, letting me know what YOU are most excited about!!

Have Fun,
Chlo

For little monsters, 3 and under

So I shared with you all, my Halloween treats for my eldest and now it's time to show you the little goodies I made for my two youngest who, being 1 and 2, had to be baby friendly and contain no nuts or eggs.

So i popped to my local Coles, and found this huge bag of jelly bears for under $5.00, which made about 30 of these little cuties. Of course not including all the ones I might have eaten on the way... It seems I'm partial to the white ones!!!

 

I would have loved to have added wobbly eyes to all of them, but was worried they might be a choking hazard, so only added them to my left overs, which I'll actually give away on Halloween to any trickle treaters that might come by.

In fact they were so easy to make, that you could easierly adapt them for birthdays, baby showers or even as wedding favours. I might whip up a few more to sell at my upcoming Christmas Market. I could see the cute little penguins from Polar Party being the ideal size... Just need to get some more bears lol.

Have Fun,

Chlo

Trickle treat, smelly feet...

... Give me something sweet to eat!!

I just loved that song when I was little... Or not so little lol! I'm a huge fan of Halloween. I love the dressing up, the parties, all the decoration and of course the lollies.

But it's not such a big deal here in Australia and sometimes I miss all the fun, especially as my children are still too little to go trickle treating.

So this year I thought I would make some cute Halloween treats for the kids to take to preschool and share with all of their little friends.

Super cute aren't they!!! I've made 11 so far and have another 10 to go. It a lot of work for what I'm guessing will only last five seconds when the five year olds get them. But my daughter is so excited about giving them out, it's worth the effort.

Next, I'm making something a little different for my sons class... They are two, so will need to be more robust with no googlie eyes. Something with jelly bears I think... My favourites!

Have fun,

Chlo
