For the first altered ornament, using long nose pliers remove all the bells, in their place hang locking washers from the hardware store. This was a pretty easy alteration. Adhere a washer to the star on top of the tree with Using Helmars Quick Dry Glue!
Make your own Steampunk garland!!! Take a light weight chain, with jump attach locking washers!!!
There isn't a before picture of this ornament. It had bells in each hoop. The bells were remove and the locking washers were put in their place.
These are my favorite ornaments, altered snowflakes. Above is the before picture!
Using Helmars Quick Dry Glue adhere locking washers to the snowflakes! I just love how they turned out.
Washers were glued to both sides, they look the same when they spin and turn on the tree!

Recycled Jars
Collect a few small - medium size jars. Cut Vellum in 2 x 11 inch stripes to use as wraps around your jars. Stamp images and heat emboss with VLVS! Ultra High Gloss embossing Powder if you like you may color images. I add a bit of color to the Full Moon with my Tim Holtz Distress Markers. Using VLVS! Miracle Tape adhere the vellum to the jar. Wrap twine around the top of the jars. Now you have VLVS! Creepy Candles.

A good number of the stamps I have used these past few days come from two plates. I have to admit I buy most of my stamps by the plate and unmounted. Why unmounted when you have as many stamps as I do space becomes and issue! PLUS you get more value for your dollar!!!

Many several times to create my Halloween themed party. I hope to encourage you to use your stamps to create your own party. Come on get the family involved!
What is a party without games! I love games where more than one person can win. The perfect game...
HALLOW's EVE BINGO
You can have rules for winners like:
Complete 5 in a row diagonally
Complete any 5 in a row

Let's get started. You will want to prepare these well in advance of your party as they take a little time. First get a count of attendees. My card is 12 X 12 and has 25 2 x 2 squares. Cut the 2 x 2 squares from bright green card-stock. Stamp Viva Las Vegastamps! images (VersaFine - Black) and heat emboss with VLVS! Ultra High Gloss Embossing Powder. Distress each block with Tim Holtz Tea Dye, Spritz with Stewart Superior Memories Mist WheatGrass and ink edges with Black VersaFine. Adhere the squares to the base with VLVS! Miracle Tape!

VLVS! All Hallow's Eve Party Blog Hop~CUPCAKE Toppers
Welcome to DAY 4 of the Viva Las Vegastamps! All Hallow's Eve Blog Hop! Hope you are enjoying the fun as much as I am.
This week I am sharing projects made with paper and VLVS! stamps that you could make for your own Halloween Party. Be sure to check the prior days (listed at the bottom of this post) if you missed them.
Now for our next Halloween Party idea!!!
CUP CAKE TOPPERS!!!!
These days cupcakes are all the rage. Even wedding parties are opting for cupcakes instead of the traditional wedding cake. So for our party I thought we should have cupcakes instead of cake! All you have to do is stop by your local bakery, pick up a few cupcakes and decorate!
I used one 12x12 sheet of paper to make the 5 rosettes for the toppers. I scored the sheet every 1/2 inch. Folding, creasing and inking... the secret is out... I used my trusty glue gun to make the rosettes. I am not going to go into details, as there are thousands of tutorials out there on how to make a rosette. For the stake I cut bamboo skewers to the desired length and glued them to the rosettes.
The Ghost and Skull and Cross Bones were stamped on Kromekote Cardstock. The Faded Raven or Crow, Witch Costume and R.I.P. and Jack o'Lantern were stamped on plain bright green cardstock. All were fussy cut and adhered to the rosettes with VLVS! Miracle Tape.
I was just thinking how a display of 1,000 of these would look on "CUP CAKE WARS!" Hope you enjoyed todays project!
If you missed the first 3 days of the hop here are links:
The challenge today is to share a picture of your Viva Las Vegastamps! stash on the VLVS! Facebook Wall... HERE!
I didn't have time to go pull out all of my Viva Las Vegastamps! Here are just a few of my Halloween stamps I have been using this week!

VLVS! All Hallow's Eve Party Blog Hop~Candy Wrappers
Welcome to Day Three of the Viva Las Vegastamps! All Hallow's Eve Party Blog Hop.
As promised I am sharing ideas for your Halloween Party... all the ideas could be used for young and old alike! Today wrappers for those candy bars that need a little sprucing up Viva Las Vegastamps! style!!!! All stamps are from Viva Las Vegastamps! and stamped with VersaFine Black Ink.
Here are 4 wrapped samples, 1.45oz Hershey's Chocolate bars.
Paper size depends on the the size of your candybar, measure by wrapping your paper around the bar. Cut to length with a little over lap. I have layered my wrap. The green card-stock a bit wider than the orange card-stock (with the pattern).
Then with a punch add a decorative edge to the green card-stock and ink the opposite edge. Add the crepe paper: Lay VLVS! Miracle Tape on the edge of the green card-stock remove the second piece of protective paper and pleat the the crepe paper on it. It doesn't need to be perfect. It took a little practice, after a couple of times it goes quickly.
Crease the orange pattern paper a bit to give a general idea of the center front to position stamping. Once stamping is completed wrap the bar and adhere with VLVS! Miracle Tape.
R.I.P.
Witch Costume
Stamps: before adding the crepe paper to the top of the green card-stock stamp the Spiked Fence, Witch Costume and Trick or Treat.
Cemetery
Poison
Stamps: Pasteurs Death Potion, Poison (stamped on green card-stock adhere with VLVS! Miracle Tape!) and Skull and Cross Bones.
This is a great project to get the help of the young goblins the house!
Today visit the Viva Las Vegastamps! website (stampo.com) and then post on the Viva Las Vegastamps! Blog Day Three something you learned there!
Remember you have until the 28th to create a VLVS! inspired Halloween project and Link it up on Day two HERE!

Sakura Altered Blog Hop ~ Honoring Mom
Welcome to
SAKURA's All Things ALTERED BLOG HOP!
We are so excited to share our All THINGS Altered Projects. Yes, we have Blog Candy.... A bottle of Sakura Crystal Lacquer and three jars of Terri Sproul Mixers. There will be ONE Winner... to win visit all the blogs (you will find links below) then go the the Sakura Blog and leave a comment letting us know your favorite project. The WINNER will be posted on Monday the 30th on the Sakura Blog.
HONORING MOM
Breast Cancer Touched my Life when Mom was diagnosed in December 2007. We lost Mom this past December, she fought four courageous years! Family was the most important thing to her in life. She was the one who inspired the creativity in her children. I have wanted to do something to honor her. So here it is "A Beautiful Pink BRA" in all its glory! I know if she were here today she would be pacing asking, "When can I try it on... Can I wear it to the lake!"
Painted with Sakura Crystal Lacquer mixed with Terri Sproul Mixers - Pink Shimmer the Bra is stiff enough to stand on its own! The butterflies painted with Sakura Crystal Lacquer mixed with Terri Sproul Mixers - Pink Shimmer and Tanzanite blue.
One night I started pulling things from my stash and playing with what I found. As you can see from the picture above and the one below the project evolved as I worked on it. I used wire to attach all the metal pieces. A small awl was handy to make holes in the lacquered bra.
Each item on the bra represents something in mom’s life.
4 - four years and her four children
Butterflies are her grandchildren
Locking washers - spouses and other family members
Blue gem on the 4 for her great grandson
Pink Gem on the 4 for her great granddaughter she never got to know
Wire on the 4 - her ability to keep everything going, everything together
Gold trim and sequins - she loved a party, crazy hats and outlandish outfits!
Flower her love of gardening
Beads on one breast that had cancer.
Wings that she earned
Charms represent some of the things she loved in life
Camera - photography and scrap-booking
Christmas Tree - her favorite holiday and big family dinners
Airplane - the trips to Europe she enjoyed with her sister
Bird house - for the 20-30 bird feeders she had called “Beaksburg”
Clock - how precious time is.
Heart - her unconditional love
Silver Feather - from a pair of earrings she wore
Scissors -the clothes she made when we were small, prom and wedding dresses
This may not be finished as I look at it I know there are things in Mom's life that I missed. So don't be surprised if you see this again in the future with a few additions... LIKE SOME WINGS!
Don’t forget to visit all the blogs in the hop and then let us know on the Sakura Blog your favorite project!
