31 Days of Halloween: Day 27 All About the Witches

Hi there- happy Sunday!  Before we get to the 31 Days stuff, I have to share some awesome news with you all.  My son Trev has enlisted in the Navy - he leaves for basic training on February 25.  I am SO stinkin' proud of him - he chose Culinary Specialist for his career, too, so I don't have to be as much of a nervous wreck as if he had chosen Special Ops (which he considered briefly).  Thanks for sharing in my joy!  :)

The Crazy Challenge: Halloween
Victorine Stamps Challenge: Let's Get Spooky

I used KK0039 Scary Tree and EE168 Brewing a Batch - I stamped the tree once directly on the card front, then again onto that cool eye-themed DP, and the best part was that I did not line up those eyes - they just lined up perfectly where the trees eyes actually were... too cool, no?  :)  Then I stamped the kitty onto the tree branch, stamped the sentiment at the top of the card, and inked the edges of the whole thing.  Pretty CAS but I like the way it came out!  :)

31 Days of Halloween: Day 22 (My Favorite Things & Authentique)

Hi again - can you believe it's Day 22 of the 31 Days of Halloween?!? You should have arrived here from Shoni's blog - if you need to go back and start at the beginning, the blog roll is posted over here on my sidebar-------------------------------->

Today's card is for the following challenges (thankfully there are lots of Halloween-themed challenges this month! LOL):

Artistic Inspirations: Anything Goes
Cards for Men: Halloween (manly)

Creative Creations: Halloween
Lexi's Creations: Halloween
Tammy's Scrappin' Corner: Spooky



So there was no stamping involved with this creation - which is weird, because I almost always use digi or rubber stamps.  But here's how I made this - I cut the Authentique DP to 5.5 square inches, and inked the edges with black ink.  I used my Spider Web die from My Favorite Things Die-namics and attached it to the DP, then filled it with Crackle Accents.  I added the little spider with foam pop-up dots and a diamond sticker for the center of the web.  The sentiment is a coordinating cardstock sticker from Authentique.

Your next stop on the hop is DominoART.  Have fun hopping!
*****************************************
So I wanted to update my friends that we found a house to rent in Massachusetts!  Jeremy will be driving Cass and I back around the end of November (or possibly I'll fly and meet them there) - then he plans to drive back to California with his dad, who is buying an RV and wants to travel around the country for a while.  So that would be really nice, if his dad stayed here and spent Christmas and New Year's with Jeremy & Trev.  So things are moving along and we're all optimistic about the future.  Trev is working with the Navy recruiter and has to touch base with him today, as a matter of fact.  That will be the icing on the cake - I can't even tell you how happy it will make me to see Trev moving on and becoming an adult.  Keep your fingers crossed for him.  :)  Peace.

31 Days of Halloween: Day 16 (Wicked Wednesday ATC/Stitchy Bear Stamps)

Helloooooo!  Welcome to Day 16 of the 31 Days of Halloween!  You should have arrived here from Shoni's blog - if you need to go back and start at the beginning, the blog roll is posted over here on my sidebar------------------------------->

So today I have a little ATC for our new challenge at:

Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge: Get Goth!


Our sponsor is Stitchy Bear Stamps, and this image is called Skull Diva from BBKakes.  I colored her with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits and Prismacolor markers.  I used some spritzes & sprays to create the background, after running my ATC base through a spiderweb embossing folder.  Text is some cardstock stickers from Authentique.  Skull stamp in corner is from Bombshell Stamps.

I'd like to enter this ATC into the following challenges:


Der Challegenblog vom Kreativeinkauf: Halloween
Sparkles Monthly Challenge: Halloween
The Cupboard Trilogy: Halloween
Top Tip Tuesday: Black and White with a Splash of Color

Here's my TIP for today:  Don't waste your money on those packages of ATC bases, make your own for free using scraps!  I use all kinds of trash to create my ATC bases - such as the empty boxes that my adhesive comes in (or cracker/cereal boxes, etc.) and the sturdy back page from my paper pads.  Sometimes when you buy paper or something "floppy" the manufacturer will put a sturdy piece of cardstock in the package to keep it rigid - these types of things work great for this.  All I do is mark them up with the proper dimensions (3.5 x 2.5 inches) and cut them using my paper trimmer and I end up with a ready-made pile of ATC bases.  If the cardstock has a pattern or writing on it, I just cover it up using designer paper or Gesso (primer)/paint.

Good morning friends!  Welcome to Day 10 of the 31 Days of Halloween!  You should have arrived here from Shoni's blog - if you need to go back and start at the beginning, the blog roll is posted over here on my sidebar-------------------------------->

So my first project is for the:

I was on a Halloween roll but wanted to do something different from my usual witches - so I went with this adorable little pumpkin from Tiddly Inks.  He's colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits with some Stickles added in.  I added some rickrack, buttons, and a sticker from SRM Stickers. 

And my next project is for the:

Simon Says Stamp Challenge: Use a Rubber or Clear Stamp


For this one, I used KK0038 Witch on Pumpkin (rubber stamp) and D039 Spiderweb Gate Die from Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps.  I absolutely adore this Spiderweb Gate - isn't it awesome??  I attached it with foam dimensional dots, and unfortunately it looks so much better in real life.  But this will have to do.  :)

Helloooooo!  Welcome to Day 7 of the 31 Days of Halloween!  You should have arrived here from Shoni's blog - if you need to go back and start at the beginning, the blog roll is posted over here on my sidebar-------------------------------->

First things first -what is this image you've stumbled upon?  What could it mean?  Hmmmmm..... I bet some of you know what to do!  ;)
 

Today I'm happy to announce that I'm part of the new Design Team for the next 6 months at:

31 Days of Halloween: Day 6 (Sunday Postcard Art: Black Cats)

Hi friends!  Welcome to Day 6 of the 31 Days of Halloween!  You should have arrived here from Shoni's blog - if you need to go back and start at the beginning, the blog roll is posted over here on my sidebar-------------------------------->

Today's creation is actually a postcard - sized 6x4 inches - as I was asked to be the hostess for this week's:

Sunday Postcard Art: Black Cats


I'd also like to enter this into the following challenges:

Crafty Calendar: Halloween
 Hiding in my Craft Room: Halloween Colors

The digi image I used is called Spook Cat by Digi Stamp Boutique - he is a pre-colored black cat (I am pretty sure he was a previous "freebie" as I cannot find him in their store anymore), so all I had to do was add a bit of green to his eyes.  I sponged the edges of the panel he's printed on and added some cardstock stickers - paper and stickers are from Authentique (can you tell this is my favorite Halloween paper or what?!?).  Then I added some black pearl stickers and orange gemstone stickers to finish it off.  

Thanks to my buddy Mandy for asking me to host this fun little challenge!

Your next stop on the hop is DominoART.  Have fun hopping!
Peace.

31 Days of Halloween: Day 5 (Wicked Wednesday & Just Some Lines)

Helloooooo!  Welcome to Day 5 of the 31 Days of Halloween!  You should have arrived here from Shoni's blog - if you need to go back and start at the beginning, the blog roll is posted over here on my sidebar-------------------------------->

So I have 2 projects to share today - my first one is for our reminder post at:

Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge: Voodoo Dolls or Stitching

 
This fun image called The Eater is one of the new Halloween release images from Just Some Lines - and she happens to be my favorite (OK - ONE of my favorites...)!  I've colored her with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits and added Stickles.  Paper & coordinating cardstock stickers are from Authentique and I added a little spider web die cut in the corner.
 
And my next card is for our brand new challenge at:

Just Some Lines: Halloween
 

I used the freebie we're offering this month for playing along in our challenge called "Happy Boo", and I colored him with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits and lots of Diamond Stickles.  He's a sparkly ghost.  :)  I made a little tombstone out of plain white cardboard and added it with pop-up dots as an embellishment.  
 
 Your next stop on the hop is DominoART.  Have fun hopping!
Peace.
