Monochromatic Christmas

 Good Day Everyone, 

Hope you are having a great weekend. Here in N. Texas we had some storms but we managed to get through. Although I am praying for those who were affected by the tornados. But this weekend is nice and sunny with a bit of coolness in the air. 

With that being said you know some of us around the world are already feeling winter has come and soon Christmas will be upon us. Today's card is for a Christmas challenge over at Intaas challenge #146 Christmas. So come check out all the wonderful Christmas projects over at International Art & Soul and pop yours into the challenge. 

For my Christmas card I used the Anna Griffin Snowflake card kit along with Spellbinders poinsettia die that I had in my stash. I combined this card with silver and pinks for monochromatic challenge YT Hop that I am participating in. I also am popping a photo of the Wreath I created using red in monochromatic colors. 

For this wreath I used white garland I had in my stash from last Christmas. 

I made paper poinsettias using my spellbinders. If you want to see more details I have

a YouTube Share.

Happy Halloween

Hi Ya!!!

I hope you all had a wonderful week. Today is a new challenge over at Really Reasonable Ribbons our theme - Halloween!! Yep, so you get to share all your spooky ghoulish creations with us, How FUN IS THAT!! :D

So of course I used the Too Cute To Spook ribbon assortment for the Halloween Tag I created. I just couldn't help it. I used the spider web black satin ribbon with the beautiful double faced satin tangerine.   If you haven't got these awesome ribbons yet, you gotta get them. They are just beautiful and so great to use for your Halloween projects. I also used a TH Stamp and numbers along with Recollections Halloween paper and some die cuts.

 Such a fun tag for Halloween. I stapled the spider web ribbon on small stamped tag.

I embossed the stamped image with black embossing poweder and used

 TH inks around my image. I wanted to give it like a sunset type of look. 

And with spider webs on the stamp I had to use the spider web ribbon. Right??? 

I fussy cut the little sentiment on the top popped it up with 3D adhesives and I fussy 

cut the scary pumpkin on the bottom. The fence is a cut from my cricut. For my 

background I used Anna Griffith die spider web die cut and a spider from 

the collection. I added black stickles to the spider. 

I love how it all came together.

Reasonable Ribbons - spider web black satin ribbon and double faced satin tangerine

Day of the Dead

Hi all,

Today is a new challenge at One Stitch At A Time, Challenge 249 Anything Goes with the Dead/Rememberance.

Ok, so I have a question, Have you ever had something totally different in mind to create with an image? Well originally I had something in mind that was totally different then what I ended up creating. lol

Hope you like what I did with this image, I used Artsy Coffin by Floppy Latte from the StitchyBear Digi Outlet Shop.
Here is my project. I actually displayed it during Halloween. Looked great with all the other decor.

 For this I folded the edges of the coffin after printing it out from my printer. I cut out the middle skull and popped it up so it looks 3D. Added stickles around the coffin and on the swirls. 

Sideview of the coffin.

What's Glowing In The Dark??

Hi all,

I hope you all are doing well this weekend. Gosh, it's been a busy month .... my oldest is getting married in a week, and so I've had approx. 3 weeks to plan it all. Oh, it's been a wild ride these last few months. Got all the decor for the gazebo did I mention it's an outside wedding. It's very small so not many people attending but enough to have a reception and all. I will be posting some things later. I have so much to share with you all I can't post it all right now. Plus I'm in the process of making some videos. (ssshhhh)

Well today I have a project I made for the new challenge at One Stitch At A Time Ch. 248 Anything Goes with Halloween Colours. I know with Halloween only a few weeks away you gotta have some Halloween projects or creations brewing (like the pun, lol). Please join us for this fun challenge, we would like to see all the fun Halloween things you make. :D

Here is my project:

I made a lantern using digital image stamp - Silhouette Halloween Broom by CraftyGirl Creations. I printed the image on vellum. I cut out the middle of the orange cardstock using the largest rectangle in Spellbinders Card Creator dies, The used Paper Studio's Web embossing folder, rubbing black soot distress ink over the embossed images. Used Anna Griffith Spider and Specters cut and emboss set. The handle is made using scallop punch attached on the sides.
