Here for the Boo's

 It's never too early for Halloween as far as I'm concerned! LOL My actual regular decor has a Halloween-type theme, I am a witch so my house is decorated with crystal balls, gems, tarot cards, skull stuff, LOTS of celestial stuff, etc. - and I crack up when people happen to come in my home for the first time in September or October - they all say "Oh I love how you decorate for Halloween!" and I'm like "yeah... no - this is how I decorate all year!". hee hee

I'd like to enter this card below into the following challengs:

Unity FB Challenge August - Sketch

Two Old Bats - Anything Halloween Goes

Simon Says Stamp Monday - Funny/Punny

AAA Cards - S is for.... (spiders!)

I stamped the spider web and spider (stamps from the Unity Stamp Co. Spooky Spirits set) in the upper right corner with Versafine Black and embossed with clear sparkly embossing powder. I painted some Lindy's Magicals in the lower left corner (Sea Anemone Amethyst), then stamped the eyeball cosmo stamp over it with Versafine Black and embossed with clear sparkly embossing powder. I used the same Lindy's on a scrap piece and stamped the sentiment the same way, then used a die from Emily Moore Designs Sentiment Dies to cut it out and layered it over the spider web. I matted on black cardstock and then matted that on a dark purple card base. Peace.

Sweet Summer Times

 We had so much fun blueberry picking yesterday! Here are my 3 little grand-princesses, Lisey (6), RaeRae (7), and Millie (4):

We picked about 5 pounds of blueberries and probably ate another pound along the way!  hee hee Summer will be over before we know it, I hope to squeeze in a few more days like this before school starts!

Colorful Options - Lemongrass (or Rainbow)

I grabbed a background that I had in my stash that was a limey green color with a subtle reverse stencil print from my Ocean Stars stencil from A Colorful Life Designs (you can always use code JennFan10 for 10% off your purchases there). I sprayed some gold Mica Spray Stain on it, then applied white crackle paste through a stencil randomly. I printed out Summer Boy with Turtle Float from All Dressed Up and colored him with Copics and a white gel pen with some Stickles for accents. I fussy cut him and attached him with foam tape. I stamped the sentiment directly on the background with Versafine Black and embossed with clear sparkly embossing powder. I die cut one of the Circle Set Fancy Dies from Hero Arts from another piece of cardstock that had been sprayed with the gold Mica Spray. then die cut the word Hi! (The Greeting Farm) from another scrap and colored it a matching green. Peace.

Mermaid & Fishes - All Dressed Up

 We have a new release for you at All Dressed Up Stamps and this adorable Mermaid & Fishes is definitely one of my favorites!

I distressed a piece of watercolor paper with pink & purple inks/sprays and then used a mermaid scale cover plate die to cut it out. I cut it into 2 pieces and removed a few pieces before attaching what was left on another piece of cardstock that I had printed the image on (Mermaid & Fishes from All Dressed Up).

 Hi friends!  Sadly, today is the last day of my birthday celebration. hee hee  BUT - I get to spend it with my parents, kids, and grandkids! My favorite people. :) My amazing daughter told me not to worry about cooking because that's normally my thing - so I'm letting her take care of it and I'm so grateful to have such a wonderful daughter who is also my best friend in the world.

This is called Mid Century Breeze Blocks Mask - don't forget to use code JennFan10 for 10% off your order:

I used Lindy's Magicals to create my background on watercolor paper, I love the way some of the powders don't completely "burst" and leave little bright pieces of pigment on the paper. I used my Tag Trio Die from Gina K Designs to die cut the tag, then applied black texture paste through the Mid Century Breeze Blocks Mask stencil. I added some puffy text stickers from my stash and tied a pretty wispy multi-colored ribbon from my stash through it. I printed out my unicorn from the Dreamy Clipart Studio on Etsy, fussy cut and attached with foam tape.
