Day 13 - 31 Days of Halloween

Sorry folks! My Day 13 post will be late. I went to bed early last night because I was feeling horrible and woke up late this morning....I was two hours late for work - OOOPS! But I did finally get some rest and I'm feeling a little better....I will try to have a new project up for you shortly....Thank you for all the well wishes!

Day 12 - 31 Days of Halloween

Well, the no sleep is catching up with me...I'm starting to get a little sick. i've had a sore throat all day today and feel like I might be getting an ear infection. I have never had one, that I can remember, so it might not be it - but my jaw has been hurting and my ears are popping like crazy. Who knows - it could all be allergies too. LOL. Sorry for the little bit of moaning there. But what is Halloween without some MOAAANING! ;)

On to my Day 12 offering. I used another digi from the Goth Fairies set (Smeared Ink). I really really like her. The other stamps are Inkadinkadoo. Enjoy!

Day 11 - 31 Days of Halloween

What a long day it was yesterday. I'm going to post my Day 11 project and hit the sac!! OK - I'm going to make this as quick as possible because I'm beat! I went to Hobby Lobby earlier today and found - yes, another - raw wood box to decorate. I have plenty already, but this one just called my name....I should have never gone down that isle!! Anyhoo, I mod-podged some really cool tissue paper onto the outside of the box and then sanded it to give it a distressed look. They I applied some Tim Holtz distress crackle paint ( antique lines), dried it with my heat gun, burned my hand by touching the metal tip, and then used my vintage photo and peeled paint distress pads to give it some dimension. While all that was settling, I colored my 4 (YES, FOUR) zombie headshots (smeared ink) with my prismacolor markers and cut them out. I mod-podged them to the inside of the box. The cool thing is that the box was already sectioned off into 4 little compartments.....so they fit perfectly! I added some crackle and distress ink to them as well and then used my heat gun again to get it all dried quickly (because I'm very impatient!). The final touch was to add some glitter paint to the outside of the box to give it just a little bit of sparkle. The best thing about this box is that after I use it has Halloween decor I can use it to hold my ATCs!!!!!! The four compartments inside the box are the perfect size for ATCs and I thought HOW AWESOME! It was just meant to be....me and this box are soul mates! And - that's how I know I'm tired. LOL. I'll stop rambling, give you some pics, and send you on your way...enjoy the hop today - and don't forget that the hop list is on my sidebar!!

Day 10 - 31 Days of Halloween

Well, today I wasn't as lucky with my projects as I have been. I had a great idea in my head but the final product is nothing like I had imagined it would be. :(
So, I poured some acrylic paint into some clear ornaments and then stamped a bunch of images from Lonely Boy and Puff. First, I must say, that stamping on rounded glass was not easy and not so fun, LOL. My images all came out smeared. Second, you can barely see the stamped image on some of the darker colored bulbs. Oh well, that's how we learn, right? So, i'm still posting pics of this project even though i'm not satisfied, but it took me a long time with the paint and all. It's a failed attempt and if anyone has experience with something like this I would love some pointers so I can try again in the future.

Thanks for looking and thanks for all the awesome comments so far! That's what really makes this experience worth while - knowing that there are people like you out there and that they appreciate you for who you are....YOU GUYS ROCK!

Oh, and for those that asked....my zombie video won't be ready for at least another week...but I might be able to get a copy of just my scene. I will definitely share it when i get it! My "real" job is as a Graphic Designer for a well known company...and we did the video to promote an upcoming sale called "Scary Savings". The video isn't for the public, just for our sales field.

Now off you go! Get to hopping!

Day 9 - 31 Days of Halloween

Day 9 and still going strong, how about you? I really can't even believe we're at day 9 already. At this rate, the month is going to FLY BY! I'm glad you guys love the "zombie me" as much as I did...here are a few more pics I was able to get from the photographer....

We called this shot "Crazy Eyes" LOL

And this one we were still in make-up and just having fun behind the scenes...I mean really, zombies don't actually bite other zombies - there's no point. ;)

And now to my Day 9 project. I had to go back to my good ole "Quoth the Raven" set for this one. I was going to make an ATC but ended up making it into a card. I didn't have to do any coloring today...all stamp and colored papers....although, I had to add in a little bit of glitter - are you surprised? ;)

And don't forget that the hop list is on my sidebar to view the rest of awesome artists and their work for 31 Days of Halloween!

Day 8 - 31 Days of Halloween!

I had an awesome day yesterday! I was cast in a video (at my "real" job) as a brain eating zombie. It was an amazing experience and I can't wait to share some of the video and more hopefully more pictures....But here I am after make-up...

This one is before they did my hair, but you can see my face better....

AWESOME, HUH!?!

OK, so, for my Day 8 project I decided to make a b-day card for one of the guys in the studio (specifically the guy in the photo above getting ready to slug me :) - and I really loved the sketch and colors that I used on yesterdays project so I kinda reused them for his card...just a different size and different imagery on it. Sorry if it's really similar to yesterday, but I knew he would love it! I chose to work with "Tease" Smeared Ink's Zombie Pin-ups. I colored her with my prismacolor markers. The senti is also from the Zombie Pin-ups set. Hope you like and enjoy hopping today!!

Day 7 - 31 Days of Halloween!
