Day 10 of the 12 Days of Creepmas

Good Morning!  Welcome to Day 10.  Can you believe it's less than a week 'til Christmas?  Where did this year go?  Man, it seems to older I get, the faster time flies...And I wan't having fun the whole time..LOL.

Today's card features an image from Jade Draggone.  I think she's kinda cute in a twisted way.  She was intentionally designed for Halloween, but just as most of the images I have used along this hop, I made her into a Creepmas image.

I printed off my image onto Neenah Solar White card stock and colored with Crayolas and OMS.  After trimming down the image and inking her with Memento Lady Bug ink, I matted her onto a piece of Red card stock from Recollections. The card base is GP card stock.  The sentiment is from my computer and the papers are from MME.  I added two little candy canes from Jolie's to finish off the card.

Thank so much for all the great comments y'all have left me so far along this hop.  It still always surprises me when I log onto my blog and see that I have so many.  I hope y'all will continue along the blog roll that is listed on the right side of this post.  I will be back on Saturday with another card.  Have a great day!

Day 8 of the 12 Days of Creepmas Blog Hop

Well, we are three-fourths of the way through our hop.  It's been fun so far, but now I have a stack of off the wall Christmas cards with no one to send them too. My family and most of my friends would not appreciate my dark sense of humor that I have found being part of the Smeared and Smudged group.  I didn't even know I had a dark side.  I'm liking my dark side, but my light side is still shining brightly.

Today's card uses another  image from Jade Draggone.  This is a Halloween image, but coloring her dress and hat with Christmas colors makes it very versatile.

I tried to find a font that looked like it had bites out of because of her pet rat, but this is the closest I could get.  I used my BIC Markers for color in this image and added some touches of Sakura Glitter pens, too.  The papers are from MME and I used a Dark Red card stock from Recollections for the card base.  The flowers are made from small circles of satin held over a candle flame to melt and curl them.  I added a gem-encrusted star for the centers.  

I hope y'all liked my offering for today.  Now go on over to Black Dragon's blog and she what her wonderfully creative mind has come up with for today.  Have a great day and God bless.

Day 31 of the 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop

Well my Horrifying Hoppers, the time has come.  Today is the last day of our month long hop.  I can't believe it has been a whole month already.  Man, I guess it's true what they say...Time flies when you are having fun.

Before I show you what I have created for today, I have to say Happy Birthday to my wonderful hubby.  Yep, he's a Halloween baby.  He turns 36 today!  He's edging closer to the age I am now..lol  Happy Birthday honey.  I love you!

So, I had 6 images that I wanted to use, but didn't have enough days to use them.  So, I decided at the last minute to make a little 5x5 chipboard book.  My idea was bigger than the time I had available.  I still have to go back and do some embellishing, but I have the basics done.

This is kind of a long post so grab a cuppa and get comfortable.

This is the first page using a Delicious Doodles image that I won earlier in the Scavenger Hunt.  I used Crayola colored pencils and OMS.  The paper is from a piece of Teresa Collins collage paper that I cut apart, inked and added randomly.  The sentiment says, "Blue eyes can be very deceptive.  We can be sweet as as blue summer sky, but make sure you run if they turn dark and stormy."

The backside of this page is an image from Jade Draggone.  I used the same coloring medium but added some Glossy Accents to the lantern.

I haven't come up with a sentiment for this one yet.  My brain was getting tired. :)

Page 3 uses  another image from Jade Draggone.  I used alcohol markers on this one.  I fussy cut her out and inked the edges with DI Vintage Photo.  The sentiment says, "Don't ever let anyone make you feel like you have to fit a mold.  You are an individual! You are special just the way you are.  Don't change just to please someone else!"  The paper is from Recollections.

Page 4 uses a Heather Valentin image colored with alcohol markers.  The papers are from DCWV and the sentiment reads, "Everyone needs that one friend who loves you regardless.  Nothing can break the bond of that friendship!!"

Page 5 uses a RSD image and a Teresa Collins paper. This beautiful lady is colored with Crayola colored pencils and OMS.  She's fussy cut and inked with DI Vintage Photo.  Sentiment is, "Always listen to yourself.  You don't always need someone else to give you advice.  You are your own best advice giver!"

And, Page 6 is another RSD image.  I love this witch.  I colored her with Crayola and I am a heavy handed colorer, so I used a kneadable eraser to remove some of the black on her dress.  This one uses DCWV paper and the sentiment says, "Some days you just have to let your inner witch out!"

Tomorrow I am going to try and make the covers for this book and put it together.  But, whenever I do get it finished, I am going to post the completed book. 

I just wanted to say THANK YOU to every one of you who left comments on my blog these past 31 days.  Your wonderful comments kept me going when I wanted to throw in the towel.  I truly appreciate the time that you spent looking at my creations.  I have had such a wonderful time making these "out of my comfort zone" creations and sharing them with all of you.  I have "followed" I think all of the Wicked Bloggers blogs.  I want to make sure that I keep up with what all of you are creating.  I have my favorite artists, as all of us do, and I don't want to lose track of y'all.  I have learned so much this past month and have an arsenal of ideas to try in the upcoming months.  Because of this blog hop, I am now a Stampin' Up Demonstrator and am starting a new avenue in  my life.  I hope I can make it succeed, but if not, hey, a discount on Stampin' Up is always good, right.

Make sure to stay tuned to Terra's blog in the next few days for the remaining winners of the Scavenger Hunt as well as the grand prize winner...Oh I so want to win...my daughter wants the pj's..LOL.  Take care, stay well and keep on cranking out those amazing projects.!!

Day 15 of the 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop

Hello there, Horrifying Hoppers.  Welcome to Day 15.  It's almost the midway point of our hop.  Can you believe that? Half way to Halloween already?  Man, it's flying.

Today's card uses an image from Jade Draggone.  I love her work.  If you haven't had a chance to see any of her artwork, check out her work here at Deviant Art.  

This one is pretty creepy.  I don't think I could work at a Zombie Farm.  There's too much of me and I think they would enjoy the feast.  

I used a mix of colored pencils, BIC Markers and chalk to create this card.  The papers are from Recollections and a tag cut out of a piece of patterned paper from last years Teresa Collins Halloween pack.  I added a fabric flower, pearl in the center and some tiny clear gems to  finish off this one.

Remember to visit Terra's blog for today's sponsors and the winners of the Scavenger Hunt.  If you need it, the complete blog roll is on the right side of this post.  We did update the roll so you won't have as many to hop to, but there will be a project on each blog.  

Have a wonderful day and I'll see ya tomorrow.

Day 11 of 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop

WHOOOO HOOOO!! It's Friday.  Thank goodness.  It's been a long week around my house.  Not alot of time for crafting this week, so I've been working late into the night to get my projects done.   Anyhoo..

Welcome to the 11th day of our hop.  To my way of thinking, it's going too fast.  I am having such a great time creating dark art that I don't want it to end..maybe a Christmas hop is the works, eh?

So, today's project isn't such a dark one.  I had to throw some cute in here somewhere.  The image is from Jade Draggone and  is called, "Mormelar."  I colored her with my colored pencils and OMS.  I did add some Sakura glitter pen to some of the jewelry and if you look closely, the skellies have gold teeth..lol

I used my Coluzzle to cut out the image and black mat (Recollections).  The patterned papers are all from DCWV.  I had to add something to make it wicked, so I used a sentiment from Delicious Doodles.  

Thanks so much for joining us today for our blog hop.  Remember, you can find the entire blog roll to the right of this post.  If you need a refresher on the rules, want to check out the sponsors or are curious to see if you won yesterday's Scavenger Hunt, check out Terra's blog.   

Get hopping and make sure you come back tomorrow for another creepy project and  later today for the winner for my giveaway.
