Crafty Friends: Pick a Tune  (Season of the Witch by Donovan)

I went right across the top row for my Bingo - spider/web, bat, and witch.  I colored Ppinky's Halloween Girl with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits after printing her out on a piece of printable designer paper.  I had a printer mishap at home so I had to do this at work and I only had regular copy paper - but hey, you gotta do what you gotta do!  :)  I used some papers from Authentique & a strip of spiderweb Washi tape - finished it off with a little bat brad.  Peace.

It's Your Day to Shine! Purple Princess

I love Tuesdays - I get to wear jeans to work on Tuesdays because I donate $2 a week to the American Cancer Society.  It's a good feeling to donate and it's nice waking up on Tuesdays knowing I'm wearing jeans and just having to decide on a shirt.  LOL  :)

Today I have a card for the following challenges:


I colored this adorable Lacy Sunshine image with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits and added lots of Stickles to her dress & the crown.  I used a piece of purple DP that I had in my stash (there are surprisingly few DP's with purple in them!) and added a piece of lace, some paper flowers, and a few purple sticker rhinestones.  Peace.

Star Stampz: Pretty Princesses

Good morning!  I'm itching to have some crafty time this weekend, I really want to play with some of my Halloween papers & embellishments!  I've already started seeing CHRISTMAS stuff in the stores, which irritates the crap out of me.  Can't they at least wait until after Halloween?  I mean, I start my Christmas shopping early too but that doesn't mean I need or want to see candy canes and stockings and all that yet.  Oh well - they can put it out, but they can't make me enjoy it.  LOL

Anyway!  Today we have a new challenge for you at:

I'd like to enter the above card into the following challenges:


This is #255, Lady Jessie.  I colored her with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits after printing her out on this awesome shimmery white cardstock.  I printed the text on red DP and used a wooden accent ampersand piece colored black to make it pop. I kept this one simple as the image is so gorgeous, I wanted it to really stand out.  She looks like me, but I'm a little chubbier and I don't have red streaks in my hair... hee hee

And my 2nd new release project, which I'd like to enter into the following challenges:



This is #253, Wendy and Friends.  I colored her with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits and added some black Stickles.  Sentiment is a sticker from SRM Stickers - flowers and witch-hat brad are from my stash.
