Day 7 of the 12 Days of Creepmas

Welcome back to my blog for Day 7 of our Creepmas Hop.  For all the details of the hop, please hop on over to see Terra's blog.  For the duration of this hop, the blog roll will be posted on the right of this blog.  There have been some wonderful creations so far along this hop.  I want to thank each of you for the great comments y'all have been leaving for me, too.  I love reading them.

For today's offering, I have a card made with a Jade Draggone image.  I just love her artwork.  It's funky and creative.

 After printing out the image on Neenah card stock, I used my BIC Markers to color it.  I trimmed it, rounded the corners and inked the edges with DI Vintage Photo.  The card base is made from Neenah and the  mats are Co-ordinations Dark Blue.  Both patterned papers are from DCWV Winter Basics 6x6 pad.  Adding three large blue gems finished off this card.

Thanks so much for hopping by to see me.  The next stop along the way Black Dragon's blog.  She's an amazing artist.  Have a wonderful day and God bless.

Super Saturday with Paper A La Mode

Good morning, friends.  Today is Saturday and that means the start of a new challenge over at Paper A La Mode.  Last week's challenge brought in some beautiful cards.  Thank you to all the ladies who participated.

This week, our challenge is "Last Minute Christmas Cards".  We all need those, right.  So, of course, I waited until the last minute to make mine.  Like that is a shocker, right?

I want to apologize for the glare on the sentiment.  I tried four different times to photograph it without the glare, but it just didn't work.  The sentiment actually says, "Warm Christmas Wishes".  I found these cute little woodland, felt creatures at Hobby Lobby during their fall sale for $1.  There were two racoons and two foxes in the package and I just couldn't resist them.  I didn't know what I was going to do with them, but I had to have them.  I decided they would make a cute Christmas card for my cousin who loves the woods and hunting. Not that he hunts fox and racoon, mind ya.

The background papers are from MME Christmas pack from last year.  I used a white Coordinations card stock for the base and the red strip is Recollections card stock.  I used Lacey Circles from Spellbinders to create the circle out of Green Recollections card stock.

It was a quick, last minute card, so it fits the challenge wonderfully.  I hope that maybe y'all will find your way to Paper A La Mode an show us what you can create at the last minute.  Have a wonderful Saturday and God bless.

Day 13 of the 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop

Welcome back, Horrifying Hoppers, to our next installment of the Halloween Blog Hop sponsored by Smeared and Smudged.  I am so happy that you stopped by.  

Today's card is a pretty funny one.  I found this cute image as a freebie at Opal Manor.  If you haven't ever been to their site, please do..you can check it out here.  Annie has some cutsy images as well as some wicked cool ones.  This little guy is a Voodoo Doll.  When I first saw the image, I just thought he was cute.  I didn't realize until after I had colored him exactly where the stick pins were....

I was going to add a sentiment about feeling like a pin cushion until I realized the strategically placed pin.  Then, I just couldn't resist this sentiment.  

Image: Opal Manor
Colored Pencils, OMS
Card stock: Recollections; Coordinations
Patterned Paper: DCWV
Sentiment: my own
Gems: Queen and Co.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope y'all are having a horrifyingly great time hopping through the blog roll (which will remain on the right of my posts for the duration of the hop).  Remember to stop by Terra's blog for a full list of rules, sponsors and the winners of the daily Scavenger Hunt.  C-ya tomorrow for another great project.

31 Days of Halloween--Day 4

Welcome to Day 4 of the 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop hosted by Smeared and Smudged. I want to thank each of you for stopping by my blog and leaving all the love.  I truly appreciate each comment that is left for me and I do read them all!  For this month long blog of Halloween goodness you will be able to find the blog roll on the right side of my blog. For a complete set of rules, sponsors and the clue to the daily image Scavenger Hunt, please see Terra's Blog.  And while you are there, please leave some love for Terra and Tori for all of their hard work putting this together.

For today's post, I have created a card using one of our sponsors, Delicious Doodles, images.  I just love these images.  I don't do alot of dark, Gothic cards, but I do love Delicious Doodles images.

I made this card into an easel card.  The first picture is from the front and the second is from the side.

I colored the image with Spectrum Noir, BIC Markers and Sakura Glitter pens.  I trimmed down the image and matted it onto Red and Black Recollections card stock.  The card base is Black Coordinations card stock.  The patterned papers are American Crafts.  I added some double sided satin ribbon from Hobby Lobby and the spiders are from a pack of Halloween confetti that I found last year at the Dollar General.  I stamped the sentiment, which is from Queen Kat Designs, onto a very light gray card stock from Recollections with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with Sakura Glitter pens and BIC Markers.  I used my Martha Stewart mini score board to add some score lines to the sentiment then matted it onto the same Red Recollections card stock.  I used two of the spiders as holders for the easel.

I hope y'all are enjoying the hop and will stick with us all month long for some amazing creations by the talent team of Wicked Bloggers.
