Anti-Bac Holder

Do you have blogs that you love? I have quiet a few =) Erica Cerwin is one of those bloggers whose projects I adore! They are always so fun and bright and very simple to do.

A few months back I found her tutorial for an Antibacterial Soap Holder I even bought the small oval punch just for this project. Well I finally made the holder and let me tell you it is so super easy! Very step by step easy to follow directions.



I made the for the kids' teachers last week for the first day of school. I want to do something for them for each holiday and things like that. I try every year but this time I'm going to stick with it!



They were a hit and the kids said they will have the best smelling teachers =)

Witchy Stamps

So when I saw the sketch over at Paper Pal Arts, I knew exactly what I was gonna do....no looking for paper, no deciding what colors, just sit and do it!

HERE is the sketch:

Ppa sketch


Here's my hats!




I used my postage stamp punch (You know, the-one-I-had-to-have-cuz-I swore-I would-use-it-all-the-time punch) with the hats and pop dotted 'em on a black square. I glitterized the bottom hat with dazzling diamonds.

I'm trying this whole non traditional Halloween thing right now. So we'll see how far it goes until I'm back to Basic Black, Very Vanilla and Peach Parfait......

**With these hat being a solid image, it's important to condition your stamp before using it. You can do this by basically taking an eraser and erasing the thin layer of film off your stamp. Trust me, night and day difference when stamping. I used THIS post over at Technique Trail for tips.**

Ingredients:
{Paper} SU! Basic Black, Lucky Limeaid, Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White
{Ink} SU! Basick Black, Rich Razzleberry
{Stamp} SU! Wicked Cool
{Extras} SU! Dazzling diamonds, Postage punch
