MS Bike Ride City to Shore

Well today I spent the day meeting up with my boss, owner of our company, one of our employees and some others, which made up a group of 9 for TEAM TUSTIN. They rode in the City to Shore MS Bike Ride today. It was 75 miles. Tomorrow a few of them, but not all, will ride the 75 miles back. It started in Cherry Hill this morning and ending in Ocean City. I first met up with them at the Hess School in Mays Landing for one of their rest stops. I then headed over to Ocean City, met up with some co-workers and the owners wife to watch them come it. Here are a few Pictures of them. WAY TO GO TEAM TUSTIN! HELPING TO RAISE MONEY FOR MS!

Mini Backpack

Here is a really cute Paper Mini Backpack I saw on Splitcoaststampers.com. I took my idea from Tonya (stampvamp). She has a wonderful tutorial on her blog at: http://www.stamphappens.com/.

Let me know what you think. It is an adorable little backpack. I thought it would be cute as a gift card holder. Put tissue paper inside and a gift card. You could also put a cute 3 x 3 card in the front pocket as the TO and FROM.

Halloween Card Swap

These are the card fronts that I received from a Halloween Card Swap I was in with some fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrators. All but one of them used the same Halloween Stamp Set, Batty for You. I guess great minds think alike. LOL!




Some really cute ideas for the stamp set.

Fun with my Big Shot!

This weekend I got to play with my new Stampin' Up! Big Shot and made these really cute samples.

So the first die I played with was the Pillow Box. I created this Pillow Box using Retired Designer Series Paper, White Taffeta Ribbon, Flower Fushions and the Pretties Kit.


Next die I played with was the Baskets & Blooms Bigz XL. I used Bella Rose Designer Deries Paper, White Taffeta Ribbon and the Pretties Kit.


On this Basket I used Ghostly Greetings Designer Series Paper, Flower Fushion, Silver Cord and the Pretties Kit. I also stamped Happy Halloween from the All Holidays Stamp Set in black on Whisper White paper and used the corner round to help create the tag. I covered York Peppermint Patties with card stock using the Scallop Punch, 1 1/4 and 1 3/8 Circle Punches and the Batty for You Stamp Set.


Last die I played with was the Snowflake #2. I cut Sparkly Felt I picked up at a local craft store. It worked just like cutting paper. There are a list of many different materials that can be cut using the Big Shot and it can be found on my Stampin' Up! Website.


Thank you for looking. If you are interested in purchasing the Stampin' Up! Big Shot or any of the Dies please contact me at hustedde@msn.com for information on how you can get this great cutting system and earn free product from the Idea Book & Catalog.

My Big Shot is Here!

Well my Stampin' Up! Big Shot and pre-order from the new 2008 Holiday Mini has arrived. Here is a picture of some of the items. I had planned to play with the Big Shot this evening but my back is really bad and I'm sitting on the heating pad right now trying to get it to calm down. I guess it will have to wait till after work tomorrow. I see another weekend of playing in my craftroom in my future. Yipee! I always enjoy spending a weekend like that. I will post pictures this weekend of different things I create.
