Day 19 - 31 Days of Halloween

Howdy folks - WOW again!I can't beleive it's Day 19 and I've only missed one day! That's more than I was able to do last year! Woohoo! Yay me and yay all you other WICKED BLOGGERS! WE ROCK!!!

Here is a project that I started on Sunday that just didn't work out the way I wanted. I layered strips of paper onto my coregated board and then painted it with acrylics. Then I stained my pumpkin digis from "The Patch" with Tim Holtz Distress stains and mod podged them onto my board. Added the sentiment, straw, and, of course, gold glitter spray!!! WHAAAAT! LOL. Sorry. I get goofy when I don't know what else to say. Here you go... this is hanging on my front door now :)


Day 18 - 31 Days of Halloween

Alrighty! Today I bring you my first all digital created card. I was so beat last night that I went straight to bed. So this morning I created a digi card for you using Haziz from the "smell my feet" digi set at Smeared Ink. The digi papers are from the Gothic Bruise set at Susan's Crafty Chaos who is also our sponsor today! Hope you like it!


Now off you go! Get to hopping and hope you have a wonderful day!

Day 17 - 31 Days of Halloween

Today i bring you something a little bit different. I found these cool little DIY vinyl toys at Michaels when I was doing my Halloween shopping. This little guy has been waiting to be used for a couple of months. I spray painted him with silver paint and then applied a nice coat of crackle over him. I then dry brushed the green and black acrylic paint over the crackle. I really like the effect of the crackle. I stamped a skull and crossbones onto the toy's belly but you can't see it since I added a happy halloween sign (stamped) into his hands. The final touches were to add glitter paint and some brads for eyes. Hope you like him!





Now go check out all the other cool Day 17 projects!

Day 16 - 31 Days of Halloween

Howdy folks! Welcome to Day 16 of 31 Days of Halloween! Today I made a little wall hanger. I got this pre-cut at Michael's. I used the Gesso trick that I've used a couple of times previously and painted over with orange and maroon acrylic paints. Some of you asked what kind of Gesso I use and it's just regular ole Gesso. (Susan G. - can't wait to see you play with some)



While my paint was drying I colored my Stitchy Doll and cut him out. Then I colored my TREAT letters from the Build-A-Zombie Alphabet and cut them out. I applied all my images to my painted wood with Mod Podge and also gave it a good coat on top to make it somewhat shiny. Then I applied my buttons for the Stitchy Doll's eyes. I got the idea from someone else on this blog hop but at the moment can't remember who it was...I'll probably remember after I get some sleep and give some credit :) - I really think this turned out great!





Now, off you go!

**I'll be announcing the Scentsy FRIGHT NIGHT winner after 09:00PST so that everyone has the chance to play for it before it's officially over. Stay tuned!!

Day 15 - 31 Days of Halloween!

OMG - We're pretty much half way thru with October - can you believe it!?! It's been a helluva ride so far and we hope you all are enjoying it as much as we are....It may be slightly torturous, but it's so worth it! As far as my cold goes, at the moment I'm not sure if I'm getting better or not. LOL. I have lost my voice today and can't stop coughing, but I don't feel miserable, so hopefully all is well. Thanks again for the well wishes, I'm sure I'll be just fine in a couple of days. I know many of you have experienced some health problems too and hope you're on the mend!

OK - So I have a few things to go over with you today - I am sponsoring the day with my Scentsy business. If you're not familiar with Scentsy, here is a little bit of info:

Now - on to my Day 15 offering. I used the new Smeared Ink "Masquerade" digi (which you can get for free by playing in one of our challenges on the forum this month). I colored her with my prismacolor markers. Then - i added some clear microbeads to her hat, bra, skirt and eyes to give her a sparkle! While that was drying, I started on my tag. I used some distress stain for my base color and then some more distress ink from a pad on my edges and to screen an image in the background. Then I used the same distress ink to stamp some pumpkins in the background.  I added some green glittery ribbon and my OCTOBER 31 at the bottom. The last step was to apply my digi image and i had a little bit of a hick-up.... I was applying the glue dots to the back of her and when I was applying them to her head I RIPPED HER HEAD OFF! Oh my hell! LOL. Hopefully you can't notice it too bad. LOL. Other than that, I like the way this one turned out.



Enjoy your hopping!! Just a reminder, the hop list is located on my sidebar for your convenience!

Day 14 - 31 Days of Halloween

Good morning! So far, I'm feeling a little better and I'm pretty sure I don't have an ear infection - so I'm very thankful for that! I think it's just a cold and is hopefully on it's way out by now! Thank you all for your thoughts and well wishes.

My day 14 project is fairly simple. I think there is no room for my mojo because my boogers are taking up all the real estate. LOL. Oh well, what can you do? So, I used a chip-board tile from Tattered angels that was already embossed with some cool images. The fence and the birds were already apart of the tile. I used Stormy Night distress stain on over the entire image and then painted some black ink onto the birds and fence so they would stand out. I then stamped my images from Smeared Ink's Quoth the Raven set (yes, again!) and then added some glitter and ribbon. Voila!



Thanks for stopping by and have fun hop-hop-hopping!
