More Chocolate Wrappers.

Ok, I'm cheating again.

And i'm not talking about my diet (what diet?).

Or, God forbid, my husband... (OMG, LOL!)

I'm talking about yet another blog post on a previous creation. Actually, these were originally cards that were tweaked a little to become chocolate bar holders. I didn't have time to make new ones for the rest of the preschool staff, so I just made do with the cards from last year. I changed a bit of their skin and hair coloring to match the ladies' looks.

Here are links for the original cards -- the Twisted Sisters are in order from left to right:

Twisted Sister Larkspur

Twisted Sister Azalea

Twisted Sister Calladium

I've got newer cards to show you later. Just trying to catch up and get ahead of my DT assignments. Before you know it, I'll be back to my full time job. *sighs*

Have a great day!

Blonde Twisted Sister

Hi everyone!

Hope you're not yet tired of seeing my Twisted Sisters projects. :)

When I color my images, I try to make them look like the recipient. Do you do the same? Here's one of MK's main preschool teachers.

Here's a different take on TS Oleander, this time with blonde hair.

All of the supplies except for the CS, twine, and pearls are from Reminisce. Sorry to cut so short. Got a busy day today! But I'll see you tonight - 9 pm PST for another post!

Hugs,

Twisted Sister Jessamine Returns!

Good Saturday morning, everybody!

I hope you all have something nice and exciting planned for the weekend! If not, hope it involves some relaxation.

I've got another chocolate wrapper to show you of the Twisted Sisters from Amy's Sweet November line.

This time, it's Twisted Sister Jessamine. She reminds me of how some ladies would use Halloween as an excuse to dress up a bit sexier, LOL! He he he! Not me, of course, I have that natural sultriness already, Buwahahahahahah!!!!

But, yes, Jessamine is the 'hottest' one of the group. I paired her up with some Reminisce paper, Queen & Company pearls, and those buttons and button die-cut are from my stash. The twine is from Martha Stewart and the CS is from Bazzill.

Tata for now! I'm off to a fancy crab place tonight for one of my great friend's birthday dinner. See ya tomorrow!

Twisted Sisters Return!

I decided to make some Halloween goodies afterall. Now that my sonny-boy is going to pre-school, I'm going to be creating some small tokens of appreciation for his teacher, aides, and the secretary up front.

As I have been cleaning out and organizing my craft room, I'm realizing that there are pros and cons to this:

Pros-
1. I'm discovering older stamps and supplies.
2. I'm getting to know where everything is.
3. I won't be shopping any time soon.
4. It feels good to get rid of old stuff and even make a donation pile. (Maybe even a blog candy pile?).

Cons-
1. I feel so guilty because I have tons of supplies.
2. I won't be shopping any time soon. :)

For my project, I got these Godiva chocolate bars which are on sale this week at the local Target. I planned to use my Twisted Sisters stamps from Amy's Sweet November line over at All That Scraps.

About a year ago, I was a Sweet November Gal and I was so ecstatic (still am)! I had to re-read my post back in September '10.

So I had to pay homage to these sets of stamps again because it was truly an honor being able to help showcase them. For my first 'candy wrapper,' I chose my fave of the group, Twisted Sister Oleander.



How funny that she looks similar yet different as the first time I colored her. She looks super sweet here, even shy (and she looked kinda sassy at the other post). Oh, but she looks so adorable with her tattered bow and her striped tights and her batty wings.

I used Bazzill and Neenah for the Cardstock; Reminisce for all the other paper embellies; House of 3 (Pink Paislee) for the twine; the buttons were from my stash.

Ah, I'll be showing you some more of the other ones I did. I think these TS are perfect for their gifts. They are mostly young women and these stamps capture their youth yet are also sophisticated.

Thanks for visiting!

Hello again, Oleander!

Hi everyone!

The Sweet November Twisted Sisters are now available at ATS.

Here's another card featuring my favorite, Oleander!

Have a wonderful day!

Twisted Sister Calladium

Helloooo everybody!!

Today I am featuring Calladium, the third Twisted Sister from Amy's Sweet November line.

Did a more vintage style with Calladium. The puffy part of her skirt reminds me of how they wore dresses back in the olden days. You could even see some 'puffs' on that blue ball gown of Cinderella.

Anyway, Calladium is ready to cause some trouble. She is dressed to the nines and is yearning for some fun.

Used lots of fall colors on this one. Mixed many patterns as well but kept the concept pretty simple.

Hope you also look at what Amy, Traci, and Rachel did with Calladium!

Sorry so short but I'm pooped from work. Remember that the Twisted Sisters will be available on Monday the 6th at ATS. See you tomorrow for some more sneak peeks!

Twisted Sister Oleander

Happy Tuesday, and welcome to the debut of the first TWISTED SISTER created by Amy!

Twisted sisters are fairies who are also sweet but they have an edge. They come out at night in Fairyland to have fun after everyone else is asleep! They know the latest trends and the hottest parties to go to! Amy named these lovely sassies after flowers...how cool is that?!!

Today, we've got the adorable Oleander. She looks really sweet, maybe even a bit shy. These twisted sisters are perfect for Halloween, but I wanted to also show how versatile these 'dark' fairies could be.



Used lot of hardware mixed in with soft elements. Found this cool paper with leather-like texture. I was also ecstatic to find these metal letters -- remember those? I think they're from Making Memories. Then, I was also excited to use these pins and a quilled butterfly! The rain are really mini brads. Then I finished it off with dots from a Viva pearl pen (pupils, lining).



Hope you also got to visit Traci Porter, Rachel, and of course, Amy for some Oleander sneak peeks! Stay tuned for another Twisted Sister tomorrow!

BTW, I almost forgot. These twisted fairies will be available at All That Scraps on Monday, September 6th.

Have a wonderful day!
