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!

Part one of a 4 part series

Hello Lovelies welcome to part one of my 4 part series about Frankenstein and his adventures in Wonka ville!  The Burtonesque Dolls issued a new challenge this week and it is: Monsters have taken over the Factory!!!  Not only am I in love with this challenge because it involves w of my favorite things(Wonka, and Monsters) I am super stoked about it because my friend Alison and her sister Pam are the newest Dolls!!!  Wooo hooo congrats ladies!
OK  on with the story, you knew there was one.

One day Frank N. Stein was sitting around his house when he got the news that he was going to be able to open a chocolate factory!  He was super stoked about this as he grew up eating Wonka chocolate. 

You could even say it put stars in his eyes!!!  He has been a huge fan of Wonka chocolate for ever it seems and hearing from his hero made him a little bubbly!!

That’s the end of part one, tune in Thursday for part two!!!!

Smeared and Smudged Member Hop

Hello lovelies and welcome to this months version of the S&S member hop.  This month we were set to use the colos brown and green, any shade of either color.  Pretty simple right!  I love color combo challenges, because I always(well almost always) try to  use the most opposite of those colors I can!  Not today though, today I decided to make something that wasn't out of the norm.  When you first see it, you will think, now that's not the Kelli I know and love!!!  What the hell is she doing with that flower!!!  BUT upon closer look you will notice that I took that lovely flower and grunged it up!!! 

This month our hop has a little twist!  We have an awesome blog candy!!!  Strange Skin, one of our sponsors on the forum this month, has offered 2 digi stamps as a blog candy for one lucky winner!!!  All you have to do is coment on each bloggers project!  That's all!  Now since there is quite a list of particiants this month I will get on with the viewing....

Now remember to win the blog candy leave a comment on each and every bloggers project!  Hop on over and see what everyone else has made!!!

I present to you.... Ornaments for the Tree.

LOL, now your singing that song in your head and you can't stop!!!!  That was part of my evil plan!!!   BWAHAHAHAHAH!!

No really, remember way back when (or so it seems), I said I was doing all new decorations this year?  Well that included some new ornaments too!  Sooooo  When Michael's had those clear glass ornaments on sale for 50% off I snatched up a few.  Paired them with some styrofoam ornaments I got from the $ store.  A little glitter here, some microbeads from Pennywise Arts there, some glue, a stamp or two, some fuzzy yarn and this is what you have!!!!

WOAH!!!  Sorry bout this one, I was trying to show you that the stamped images are on the inside of this one.  I stamped on that shrinky stuff.  Snowflakes of course!!!

So now head on over to the side bar and see what all my other wonderful Jolly Bloggers have created today, cause you know you wanna and you know your gonna enjoy it tons!!!!!!

Big Fish-y Carnival

This week Smeared Ink is the sponsor for The Burtonesque Dolls Challenge!  This weeks challenge was to create a Big Fish-y scene!  Totally love this movie! So that was our inspiration for the project we needed to make.  I love the scene where he is underwater in his car and the mermaid comes to help out.  So I tried to recreate that in my card. If you have not done so you should totally check out the sites above and also Smeared and Smudged there are some pretty awesome things going on at all of them!!!

I used Tim Holtz patterned paper, the Mermaid and words are from the Carnies stamp set from Smeared Ink(which happens to be the prize for this challenge plus the carnie digi), micor beads from Pennywise Arts, and SU cardstock, and Tim Holtz distress ink refills to color the oval frame. I colored my Mermaid with copics # B00, B05, B32, BG23, E21, G02, R27. Everything is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

FREAK SHOW

So if you know me at all you know that I love Smeared Ink! Here is a card I made using the Carnies set! I fell in love with this dude. You so have to go on over there and check out what they have! It's freakin awesome dude! I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!!! I have so many projects going right now with all my new stamp sets!!!! I can't wait to show you more!

THANK YOU TERRA, KAS, AND ROSIE! Today I am showing a card that I made for the Bombshell October Sketch challenge. I am saying now that I only know the names of some of the companies that my materials are from as they are all from RAKs. So the papers I used on this card are very lovely and from the RAK, the stamp is from Bombshell stamps, the ribbon is from a RAK and the cardstock is from Stampin Up! Oh yeah the microbeads are from Pennywise Arts!

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.

Now that you have seen my challenge project for the day, leave me a comment and let me know if you participated, even if you don't want to participate leave a comment. Comments equal entries!!!! Then hop on over to Terra's to see what she has for you today!

TRIBUTE TO BOB ROSS THROUGH ATCs

I wanted to share some ATCs that I made for a swap on a yahoo group I belong to called Pennywisearts. The theme was Animals, and I had some really cute buttons of animals. I also love Bob Ross and happened to be watching him paint a picture on the Create channel, which I love!!! Anyway while I was watching I thought why not "paint" a little outdoor scene and the put the animal buttons in there. Oh the clouds are covered in Microbeads!!! So let me know what you think.
