Day 1 of 31

Hello Lovelies, welcome to the 4th year of 31 Days of Halloween!  I am super excited for this year because with the exception of 4 day, which are challenge days, I have all of my projects done!!!  I will keep my posts throughout the month short, one because that’s what I do when necessary and two cause we gotz 37 peeps to get through everyday!!!!  That is a lot and it makes me excited to have that many this year…. The first year it was just Terra and myself posting a project each day!!!  It sure has grown a lot!  As always the blog roll is on the right hand side bar!!!  
Today I am starting with a Domino Book using images from Itkupilli that I purchased a few years ago!  I used a ink splatter stamp from Smeared Ink in the background paper that I mounted the images on! 


Remember to leave everyone on the blog roll love everyday for your chance to win the wonderful prizes!!!  To see those prizes please click here!

12 Days of Christmas day 6

Hello Lovelies, I said earlier that most of my projects would be cards but now looking back on everything as I am auto posting these posts I realize that half are cards and half are altered items….now the altered items are mostly domino’s but they are still altered!  Remember that swap I was talking about a couple of days ago?  Well here are half of the dominoes that I altered for the swap, I know I know we have 16 people in the swap so lets just say that some repeat, but why bore you with double pictures!!!LOL 

If your interested in a swap like this or swapping in general, head on over to Penny Wise Arts yahoo group and see all the fun things happening!

Again the images are Itkupilli and the micro beads are from pennywisearts!

Remember to leave me some love and go and see what everyone else has made!  Remember to win the prize you have to comment on every bloggers page every posting day!  for the schedule please see day 2!!!

12 Days of Christmas Day 4

Hello Lovelies, welcome back!  I hope you are having a wonderful time on this lovely hop!  Today I have for you not a card but an altered item!   I have joined an altered domino ornament swap for the past couple of years.  The host of this years swap asked a favor from the swappers, she volunteers at a nursing home in her area, and she asked us to make a few extra so that she could decorate a tree for the people there!  So here is one of the extra domino’s I altered!

The images are from Itkapilli and the beads are micro beads from Pennywise Arts.  Hope you have enjoyed my project today, leave me some love and go and see what everyone else has made.  Remember the blog roll is on the sidebar!

Hello My Pet

Hello lovelies, I have missed you so.  Being sick SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Alas I have returned with my offering for the Smudgy Antics DT Blog.  If you haven't been there yet you should go!  It's full of wonderfully wicked art work, simply because we have wonderfully wicked DT membes!!!! Make sure to check out the new challenges over on Smeared and Smudged also, we have some wonderful sponsors this month, Simply Betty and Sweet November Stamps!!!!!! You know you don't want to miss out on those!!!

Today I have for you a bookmark/tag I made using Smeared Ink digi set Fedom.  I didn't do much to the image itself except add a little chalk here and there(thanks Alison for turning me on to that!).  The tag on the other hand I distressed the hell out of and then added a really cool background (from Itkupilli) I have had for a while!  My image i popped up for some depth.  No it's not quite finished as I haven't added ribbon and bling yet.  I know what I want to use and I know I have it, it's just a matter of digging it out and as I was a sick one this past few days that didn't happen!!!

Thursdays Microbeads Challenge!!!

Hello all and welcome to the last challenge of the month!!!!! I reallyhope that you have all enjoyed these challenges that Terra and I have brought to you and I greatly appreciate everyone who has participated in them! Today Terra and I have coordinated our projects and offer you a themed challenge. Our projects today are based around Microbeads, and your challenge is to share your own project using Microbeads by linking it to a comment at the end of this post!
Easy peasy...

I have created a couple of ATCs for you today. I love microbeads and use them whenever possible. I also coordinate a swap over on the Pennywise Art Group for ATCs everymonth. Check us out!

The first one I used a backgroud from Itkupilli then added the black microbeads to the ground and a skeleton from Bombshell clawing his way up!! For the moon I didn't want just clear microbeads and although they come in many colors I decided to make my own. I took clear microbeads and mixed them with Slate colored Alcohol Ink. Then baked them at the lowest setting of my oven until they were dried out. You can leave them out in the open to dry, usually overnight, but we all know that I do not have the will to wait for anything when it comes to crafting! The second is a witch, also from Itkupilli with black microbeads in the sky and the same self colored microbeads for the words at the bottom.
