Have you ever been afraid to use a brand new product? And then you knock yourself over the head for having waited so long. I have to admit I've had those moments quite a few times. The latest one was with Stampin' Up!'s Sweet Treat Cups. And why, pray tell? They're absolutely easy and fun to use!!...

Oof, what a day yesterday! Gen and I worked like maniacs preparing for the Glitter Sisters Technique Class for next Friday. One of the technique, Craft Ink Smooshing, was very stimulating for me and when we finished the samples for the class, we were left with little bits and pieces...

Today, I finally sent my 12 Weeks of Christmas Newsletter to all my subscribers and I do apologize again for the delay. I you want to receive the next remaining 6 weeks, don't forget to register by typing your email in the left-hand sidebar...

It's for you... for Christmas! This is a card I made to accompany the gift I made yesterday for Week 6 of my 12 Weeks of Christmas Ideas. My sister-in-law doesn't know it but it's going to her for Christmas. It's OK, she doesn't read my blog.I really like this color combination for Christmas...

I'm obsessed with my little notebooks! I just can't stop making them. I think they're adorable and I'm having fun choosing all kinds of color combos...

I really do. I love making lists. And I'm having way too much with these little booklets. One of the reasons why I like them so much is their format. I can so see myself making tons of them to give out as gifts...I've seen a few of those in the blogosphere and I decided to try my hands at it...

... when you don't have the color of ribbon you need? You dye it! That's what I did today and I can't wait to show you the results. My favorite ribbon is satin. Unfortunately (or so I thought yesterday) it only comes in Whisper White. Hmm... then I thought maybe I should try to dye it...

After I've finished making my little bags for the trick-or-treaters tonight, I thought I would play with some of stuff I had bought lately. Some glow-in-the-dark glitter and punches. Unfortunately, I couldn't take a good picture of the glitter in the dark but it totally works!!...

Isn't this picture yummy? Wanna know what it is? Better yet, wanna make one of these?Quelles belles couleurs! Qu'est-ce que c'est? Mieux encore: vous voulez en faire du pareil?Just hop on over to Card à la Carte and follow the free step-by-step guide! It's our gift to you, from Gen & I....

I'm ready! I've got my treats for the kids tomorrow night. This is Gen's lollipop cover, adapted with a Halloween topper using the Batty For You stamp set.I've used only 3 colors here: Lots of Oh! Orange, Basic Black and Whisper White...

I seem to be in a very heavy Christmas mood these days and it soooo not me. Weird! This card is one that I had done for my Christmas Cards Class but had put it aside because I wasn't happy with it...

Can't wait for Saturday to see what all those cute little (and not so little) kids will be wearing when they ring our doorbell. I'm busy making them special treats.But these treats below are for adults...

I love punches! Here's why (forgive me for the bad pictures... something happened to my camera... or maybe it's the operator):Although the colors are way off on this picture, you can see how fun this card is. This card is also part of my upcoming Christmas Cards workshop on November 3rd...

Happy Monday, everyone! It's the start of a new week and I'm kicking it up a notch with my Twelve Weeks of Christmas Ideas. For the next 4 weeks, my newsletter subscribers will receive a step-by-step guide to make simple gifts for this holiday season...
