Halloween Stampin Fun!

Since I'm just loving Halloween I decided to play with my wonderful stamps from Rubber Baby Bumpers (I so miss that company *sigh*) and this is what I came up with.  I even squeezed in some of that hot item - washi tape by Sweet Bella-  I think I'm digging it.  Enjoy! :)

BOO!

I said I would be doing more Halloween decor and here it is.  I took wooden letters (I was going to do SPOOKY but I didn't have enough paper etc left for 5 letters so I went with 3.  Here's how I did it.


I took Making Memories paint (yes I know it's old but it's still a goodie in my book) in Black and Shopping
Bag.  I didn't want something so harsh as black so I mixed the two and painted the letters.


Once dry I traced the letters out of Basic Grey's Eerie collection and because I traced them they are going to be slightly bigger than the actual letters.


I sprayed some Auburn Tattered Angels for a little color and sparkle. I then added some of Tim Holtz's crackle paint in rock candy and picket fence.  Distressed it in Black Soot and Gathered Twigs, BG felt and glitter 3D stickers.  I scored a 2" strip to make the embellishment that is behind the skull and used thick chipboard in strips to connect the letters together.  I finished it off with some red flowers, black velvet ribbon and black/white twine. 

I will be posting some more Halloween cards soon.  :) 

A Sad Heart

Sometimes being married is no fun and sometimes my dear hubby is, well, a guy and doesn't think the way I do which ends up making me upset...  Out of that comes creativity for me.  So channeling my inner Halloween with my inner hurt I end up with a card called "Sad Heart".  I drew the "face" that's in the heart and then added a rhinestone to the tear.  The sentiment says "Just for the record, you are still my everything." - Enjoy

Sorry....

Sorry everyone...

I'm a bit behind on posts.  I've had the last two in the queue for a few days now.  My hubby's grandfather died and we have been a bit busy with things.  I'll be back with all sorts of fun stuff that I finished before, during and after all the sadness.

Stand by my friends...

an old ATC

Hi guys,
I'm sharing a very old ATC that I did back in 2005 for Rubber Baby Bumpers swap (she is no longer in business doing stamps, she does jewelry) called "a surprise in every box".  All the stamps show are from RBB.  Fun and in the Halloween spirit :) Enjoy...

More Halloween Goodness

So as I've stated before Halloween is my fave and my decorations (some year round) are in full swing.  They started swinging last weekend but it's been a bit up and down lately with a sick family member. 

So here are a few of my favorites and some new additions to the family. 

I saw this and almost had to push people out of the way to get it.  Not only do I love jars (not sure why that is) but check out that pumpkin.  How wonderful is that smile?

These guys my hubby and I purchased in Mexico back in 2007.  They are up year round - until we moved LAST October and I still haven't found a home much less taken them out of their protective plastic.  How sad for them.  I think I'll find them a good home this weekend...

 Ms. Sadie sits on whatever desk I'm at.  I've had her for years and she used to sit on my desk at work until I was asked to relocate her...Some people just don't get my humor - oh well...

My Card for Kaite

After I surfed around the blog hop for Katie (see the Swimming for Katie post below) I purchased a stamp, digi image and then I decided to send her best wishes with a card.  I see as of yesterday she is sadly back in the hospital :(  I hope she feels better and is able to be discharged very soon.  Hope you and Katie enjoy my card.
