Some Spooky Stuff!!

Happy Thursday, y'all! We have almost made it to the weekend of yet another busy week! Now that the kids are back in school, I really look forward to the weekends!

Today, Pink Cat Studio has some of the cutest digi's you have ever seen being released!! I am totally in full Halloween mode now that all of the Halloween stuff is out everywhere! I have not decorated my house yet for Halloween, but probably end of September I will! It has been very warm (still in the 90's) here until yesterday when we had an arctic blast that brought the high only to the mid 80's!! LOL! Gotta love FL weather!

Ok, back to the important stuff...Here is the cuteness that is now available...

Melissa's new Blobby images are just too adorable! Ok, so I could not pick which image to use, so I made 3 cards!! Very rare for me to have time, but I was so in love with these images! I used my favorite Halloween DP - Eerie from Basic Grey on all of them.
The first one up is: Frankenstein Billy.
'Frank' was colored with Copics and I used some Perfect Plum ink (SU) to sponge around him. He was cut out and layered using Nesties. The sentiment is from a TGF Halloween set from last year. I added some Glossy Accents to his candy pail.

Next up is Frankenstein Blobby!
OMGosh...I had so much fun on this card! I just love how it turned out! I whipped out my trusty sewing machine (ok, more like walked over to it!) and added some stitching. I also used foam tape to pop up the whole top panel! I used some Pumpkin Pie ink to distress around him too. The image was cut out using my pinking nesties.

His little pail has some Glossy Accents on it too! This sentiment is also from the same set.

For my final card, I used Witch Lily.

I was jonesing for some candy corns when I colored her, so I made her look like a candy corn witch! I imagine she is a very sweet witch who hands out lots of candy! I used my Copic ABS to airbrush the gauze-like ribbon layered behind her. It works like a charm - still think my ABS system was one of the best things I ever bought! I cut the panels behind her out with my Nesties and then ran it through the cuttlebug with this embossing folder. I could not decide which piece of this DP I liked best for this card, so I made it a patch-work of all of the ones I liked and used my sewing machine to stitch it together. I love how it turned out! :)

She has lots of Stickles on her dress! I also added some Orange Copic Atyou pen to her hair in streaks to give it a little shimmer. Glossy Accents was also added to her pail.

Hope you have a great day! :)

Tilda Notebook - Post #3!!!

Howdy, y'all! I am back again! I am so excited about how this project turned out, I just had to post it tonight!

I made this journal for my Etsy Store. I saw these cute little notebooks at Target and decided to alter it!

I used some Basic Grey Kioshi DP along with some PTI cardstock. The sentiment is from a SU alphabet set. I sanded and painted the covers, layered the DP on top and then embellished it. I finished it off with several coats of Modge Podge to seal everything on tight! I finished it off by adding tons of ribbon to the spine. Here is a sideview - it measures about 3.5 x 5 inches. It is the perfect size to slip in your purse or keep in your car for those quick notes we all need to jot down!

Here is a peek inside. I sanded, painted and covered the inside panels too. The inside covers are the same and the back of the journal matches the front DP.

Thanks for stopping by again!

Supplies:

Stamps - Tilda with Letter, Sentiment (SU)

Ink - Copics, MM Paint, Memento

Paper - PTI cardstock, Basic Grey Kioshi DP

Accessories - Sandpaper, Nestabilities, CB embossing folder, Prima Flowers, Bling, Ribbon (misc), Modge Podge, Notebook (Target)

Introducing Pre-Made Paper Bag Albums!!

Hello again!! I am back with another post this morning! I started working out with my new medicine ball that I got, but the workout disk that came with it does not work. :( I will be taking it back for sure...Oh well, I will take the dog for a walk in a bit.

My 2nd post this morning features my new pre-made paper bag album! These make a perfect gift for grandparents, other family members or a friend. All you need to do it just add pictures and journaling and voila - it's done!

I will be adding these to my Etsy Store periodically.

These are completely hand made and embellished. I did not use any pre-made stickers. All of the embellishments were created by me. This album has 12 pages including the front and back covers and is approx. 6x6 inches in size. The spine was machine stitched and all of the pages have been attached with Scor-Tape - This is a very sturdy album.
Some of the embellishments include: hand-colored stamped images, sentiments with lots of bling, journaling tags, hand-made chipboard tags featuring QK alphabet dies, flowers, distressed edges and lots of ribbon! Many of the embellishments are 3-D, so you can tuck the corner of your picture under it. I adds lots of texture and dimension to the album.

Each album will include 3 additional slide out pages to fit in the pockets for additional pictures or journaling.

I would love to know what you think about these! Any comments would be appreciated.
