Forever night Challenge!

Hello everyone and welcome to another Friday with Forever Night Challenges!  This week our sponsor is Strange Skin.  If you haven’t been to see what they have you are so seriously missing out!  They just released 4 new sets and they are wicked sweet!!! 

Anyway they were awesome enough to offer the FN DT members a free image and I chose one of their keys, I love this!  This key was colored with copics and added to a tag I got from tattered angels a while ago! 

I’ll be back in a bit with a Bombshell tutorial!!!  Thanks for visiting today!

Strange Skin Blog Hop

It’s been quite a while since the dynamic duo (Pam and Jorge) of Strange Skin released some new images. But boy, has it been worth the wait! Today they are release 4, yes FOUR new sets that are all going to help you get your freak on. They’ve got something for everyone with this release, even if having a bit of the creep factor isn’t your thing. And trust me when I tell you, no one has images like these!

Heartbreakers Gang

Buggin’ Out

Sweet Treats

Wonderland Souvenirs

We have one heck of a hop for you today. There are gals from all different circles, using all different styles. And you are sure to love everything you see. The hop will of course start at Pam’s Blog, so if you haven’t gone there, please head on back to check her her. The complete blog roll is below. And to shop the new images, visit their Etsy shop HERE. And don’t forget!!! Today is the last day that you can get ANY of their original digis for half price! Yup! 50% off of their original sets. The new release items from today are not included in the sale. Here’s what I’ve made.

You all know I LOVE LOVE LOVE Alice in wonderland so I was super stoked when I got this image and I bet you all know which set I will be getting first!!!  LOL  Anyway, I printed out my image and colored it with my copic markers.  I kind of modeled it after the Alice game colors.  I LOVE that game! Anyway, the patterned paper is by G45…Halloween in Wonderland!  The saying is what the Hatter(Johnny Depp) says to Alice in the latest Alice Remake(2010)
Here is a close-up of the Hat…

There will be a prize for a randomly selected commenter! One person will win 2 of the new images (Pam's choice), so they need to comment on everyone's blog to enter to win. (Pam will post the winner in a couple of days.)

NOW FOR THE BOMBSHELL SKETCH:
Hello lovelies, today I have for you a double post in one. Not only is it Bombshell sketch challenge day over on the bombshell blog, but it is also the start of Forever Night Challenge blogs 3 day blog hop!!
First of all the Bombshell sketch….

This is the wonderful sketch Ms. Kathi made for us this month! Here is my take on the sketch…

The other day I was having a Pumpkin Spice Latte and I thought, I wonder what a Pumpkin Spice Martini would taste like! So that led to this card! I used the Man’s Ruin stamp set. Kraft cardstock and Halloween patterned paper from My Minds Eye called Haunted. It’s pretty all the paper in this pad is printed on kraft! I LOVE IT! Stickles on the glass cause every martini needs a sparkly glass!!! The background is kraft paper smeared with the new Limited edition distress inks from ranger! I LOVE THEM!!! I hand wrote the name of the drink cause it just needed it!!

Day 31.... HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!!

YAY!!!!!  It's finally here!  HALLOWEEN!!!!  I am so excited, but so sad also!  I really didn't want 31 days to end although I have a quite mushy brain from everything that has been going on!!! Today we have 3, yep I said 3, sponsors.  Smeared Ink, Strange Skin, and Wild Flower Kids!!!  There are no hidden images today, we will be picking 2 winners from all the commenter's today,randomly of course,.  The first number chosen will receive 1 digi each from all 3 companies.  The second number will receive 1 digi each from Smeared Ink and Strange Skin!!!  How cool is that!  So make sure to comment on everyones projects today!  I will announce the winner on November 2nd.  That give me time to recover from Halloween on the 1st!!!!  LOL  

Now before my project, I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you for helping Terra and I take 31 Days and make it huge!  I am quite sure that neither one of us thought it would get this big when we started it last year!  I know we both imagined it but were never sure that it would go this far!  It makes me happy that there are people out there who love Halloween as much as we do!!  Thank you so much and start stockpiling those projects for next year!!!!!

Now I said I was going to show you parts of my Halloween decorations.  Well here are my mantle pictures and my potions dungeon!  There could be more later, like tomorrow, because I ran out of time yesterday and the sun has to be just in the right spot to take creepy pictures that you can still see ya know!!! LOL

So here is the Mantle, it has been decorated since the end of September when I participated in the Practical Magic Blog Party 2010!

This is what it looks like on a normal day to day basis!

Here it is with my Book of Shadows added to it! Also more candles!

Close up of the front of my BoS, which used to be a big old Atlas that I altered!(more deets on the PMBP post)

The inside cover!

Where my spells and chants and information goes!

Candle light make everything look better!!!  Just sayin!!

Now welcome to the Dungeon!

Lovely place to brew potions!  You can click on the pictures to see them closely!  Notice all the cages I have new ingredients in!  Those came from the $ spot at Michael's   they were all different colors that I spray painted black!!!

I even have lovely potion's ingredients!

Some already made potions adorn the table!

Some empty bottles wait for the new potions I am working on!

I think I may have left these fresh ingredients trapped for to long!  Oh well, I guess it's a good thing that I need powdered skull in a new potion recipe then!!!

Remember I will hopefully be back later today or tomorrow with more pictures from the outside and inside but for now I must part!

Also to win the prizes from the sponsors today, remember to comment on everyone's post from today!!!

Day 26...Story Time

                                         

Hey guys, I just wanted to let everyone know that Terra is very sick as well as her kiddies so Alison and I will be handeling the sponsors.  So please email your responses to me(Kelli) here.  Today's sponsor is Strange Skin and there is a clue somewhere in my post about what to look for!!!  Now I know you have all been waiting for the winner of the devil doll digi so without further ado the winner is..... LADY BRAYTON!!!  LB Alison will be emailing you soon, I believe! 

Now on to Story Time:

Hello everyone who has come to my friend Kelli's blog today!  My name is a secret but I can tell you this, I am a 7th year muggle born student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.  Some would tell you I am the smartest to attend in ages, but I don't like to brag about myself!  I am on a secret mission for our Potions Master of the school.  You see some of our potions that we make require special ingredients  that your can only get from a muggle or from the muggle world.  Since I am muggle born, it was decided that I get them. 

So story time you ask, well that doesn't mean I am going to read you a story.  That means that I am going to show you my secret story time book!!

Isn't it cute!  Just a pocket size book of Poe.  I think it is wonderful.  Want to see more pages? OK!

Ok so it's a picture book!  Are you saying you have never looked at a picture book before?  That's what I thought!!  Now want to know a secret?  Look at the 2nd page again!

That's a secret compartment that's what that is!!!  Where else did you think I was going to hide my smuggled in potions ingredients?   Did you know that Mike has lost his Jack-o-lantern! Can you help him find it!  Anyway I digress...

Today, I am carrying crystalized human blood(given freely I might add), frog eyes(I really don't know why he couldn't get these in diagon alley, something about no harvesting with magic), and lastly belladonna(that's just for me to use in case a muggle is smart enough to find my secret compartment)! So I hope you have all learned the importance of  story time today!  I hope you come back tomorrow!!!

Day 7...

Welcome welcome....well lets see if I can be a bit more witty today than yesterday... Although be forewarned that I have quickly lost my mind today.!!!  First, let me say a great big thank you to Strange Skin for being our sponsor today.  Somewhere on someones 31 day post today there is a hidden chance to win some awesome digis from this wonderful company so be sure to check out everyone listed on the sidebar!!!  Secondly, today I am double dipping on some projects, not only is this a creation for the 31 days of Halloween but it is also a creation for the very first challenge for The Hodgepodge Shop, of which I am a DT member!!!  The image I have used is from the HodgePodgeShop and is called Halloween Pumpkin stack!  I totally love this image.  I decided to make a monochromatic project.  Using black and white, of course I never follow rules, so i chose to focus on the (chrom) part of the word and had to add a little sumptin sumptin to it!  I hope you enjoy and please head on over to the Hodpodgeshop blog to see more creations by this wonderful new DT!

What do you think?  Remember to leave comments so you can win some wicked sweet prizes and if you need those rules and regs. they are in the tab on top of the page!!!

Day 5.....Frank's Bride

Hello lovelies, I wanted say thanks for the well wishes on a better week!!!!  Today I bring you an image I received from a company called Strange Skin.  They are so freakin awesome it unbelieveable!!!!  I am so happy our lovely Ms. Alison introduced us to them, or them to us, whichever way it goes, I am just glad that I know them now!!!  They are sponsoring our Very Sketchy challenges this month over on Smeared and Smudged!  The DT for S&S were luckey enough to receive a digi from this wonderful company and I just so happened to get this Bride of Frankenstine.  I totally am in love with her!!! I wanted to do shades of green so I guess now she is a zombie bride of frankenstine, but I think this was she just turned Frank into her bitch!! (yeah, I said it)! So what do you think:

Ribbon look familiar? It's from Sunday's project!!  Gotta use those left overs!!!

Close up of the "barbed wire" I made.

Close up.

I printed her out on Very Vanilla card stock from SU.  Then colored her with my copics: YG11,YG41,YG03, and BG93.  The base of the card is Basic Gray card stock from SU.  The ribbon is left over from day 3's project and the "Barbed wire is a length of leather string, with smaller lengths of the same string tied to it! 

For rules and regulations please click on the tab at the top of my page.  The complete hop list is on my sidebar.  I'll be looking for you tomorrow!!!!
