BLOG CANDY!!

Hello Stampers,
Have you ever heard of Blog Candy before?  I have (as an avid blog follower) and what it means for you is FREE STUFF! 
I will be giving away one free stamp set on October 15th, and the way that I will choose the winner is to pick from one of the comments left on my blog.  Basically, one comment = one entry.  So get commenting.. Tell me what you think, tell me what you would like to see, anything, (but please keep it clean and constructive!)
Thanks all,
Happy Commenting!
Brenda

A closer look

Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to let you know that if you would like a closer look at any of the pics on my blog, simply double click on each photo and it will bring it up bigger for you. Sometimes that is a good way to see all of the little details such as embellishments, techniques, and dimensions.  Just thought I would remind you! 
Happy looking,
Brenda

Stepping outta the box

Hello Stampers,
It felt so good to sit down tonight and make a card, it feels like it has been awhile since I just played without any purpose!  I took my new Color Coach down off the shelf, and let me tell ya, I LOVE IT!  I absolutely step out of my old olive/chocolate chip box!  LOL... if you've ever stamped with me, you know that most of my cards have to have at least one of these colors on them!  But now....

This card is made with Rich Razzleberry, Tempting Turqouise, and Pumpkin Pie.  I would never have put these colors together myself, but  I am amazed with the result.  Its fresh and fun, and a perfect card for a simple thanks to a friend. 

Holiday Joy

As I was organizing my Stampin Workshop the other night, I came across some decor elements that I had stashed away from last year, but are still available in the catalogue.  I also came across an old picture frame with a picture that I just wasnt happy with.  I decided to use my new Holly Jolly Designer paper, and create a sweet little holiday tribute that would look fab as an addition to a photo wall.  Its so much fun to make something so sweet with stuff I find in my stash.

Autumn Fun

Hello Stampers!
The last week or so the weather has really turned, lots of rain, and that back to school chill in the air! I've been inspired to start creating some autumn stuff, so here are a couple of pics of my latest creations.  The first is a little treat bag using the "Mini Lunch Sacs"  from the new Holiday Mini Catalogue.  If you would like to place an online order, please visit my website here.  http://www.brendareed.stampinup.net/

I used the Season of Friendship stamp set (its so versatile!)  and ran the bag through the Big Shot using the perfect polka dots embossing folder.  I am really happy with the result.  My club girls last night filled them with some homemade caramel popcorn.  A perfect little fall treat for a little someone!
