Halloween Costumes

Welcome to Punchin' Up!

Halloween Costumes

Boy, life has sure been busy this last month with a few curves in the road, dealing with my Mom falling, breaking a rib and her collar bone. Poor thing not fun and very painful.

But I'm looking on the bright side, maybe things will calm down.

Yah, Right! Who am I kidding.

It's that time of season.

Busy!!!

I have to share with you my Grandkids

Halloween costumes.

Stpehen's Costume was easy as he wanted to be a Race Car Driver. It is what he wears when he races anyway, so that was great. One costume down and one to go.

Now my 7 years old granddaughter wanted to be a pink flower in a flower pot. I have no idea how she came up with that idea, but she was determined to be it. Well, you know if you are a grandparent you will do pretty much anything for your grandchildren.

So...She went to the store with me to pick out her material and colors.

We didn't find "Terra Cotta" color for the flower pot so she said this tan multi color will do. We had to have brown for the dirt, green for the stem, pink for the flower and yellow for the center. Well this is what I came up with. Having no idea how I was going to make this, and with lots of hand sewing later, it turned out pretty cute. I asked her if she wanted leaves on the stem and she said

"No, Nana", my arms are the leaves.

She loves it, and that is what is important.

Love my two Grandkids.

Tomorrow, I will be sharing the Halloween Projects we did in my 3D classes.

Thanks for visiting

Have a great day,

Wooden Nativity

Welcome to Punchin' Up! by Cathy

Today I want to share something other than

Paper Craft.

Oh My Gosh.....Shock.... I know (LOL)

You all know how I love to craft with Paper, Punches, Stamps and Ink.

Well......

I have been working on a project for my grandchildren's school Fundraiser Auction.

This Nativity Set made from wood and felt, plus a few Stampin' Up! jewels.

(As I was making it, I kept thinking it could be made with paper too, don't you think)

There will be raffia in the stable to complete the scene, plus it all stores away in the crate/stable.

I thought it turned out pretty good. Hopefully it sells for a lot to raise money for their school.

Thank you for visiting today and remember to visit my online store to purchase your Stampin' Up Products. During month of October, selected Designers Series Paper is buy 3 get one FREE. So don't miss out...a great time to purchase the Designers Series Paper you have been wanting.
