Day 3 of 31 Days of Halloween....card

I made this card not knowing how it was going to come out but overall I really like it.  I used stamps from Inkadinkado along with a tag from Grapic 45 and cupcake cups from Martha Stewart for the flower.  The "Happy Halloween" stamp is from Studio G.  I hop you are enjoying the 31 Day blog hop so far.  I do have a complete list of participants on my entry for 9/30/11.  Thanks for stopping by see ya tomorrow!

Day 2 of 31 Days of Halloween

It's day 2 of 31!  Check out todays project.  Don't forget I do have the full list of bloggers listed on an entry dated 9/30/11. 

Halloween tag!!  I used stamps from Smeared Ink (Faes stamp set), Close To My Heart (Halloween Dingbats).  I think the tulle and "creepy" embellishment from Recollections add a great touch.  This was a fun tag to make.  Please leave a comment.  See ya on Day 3!

Day 1 of 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop

There is always a beginning to everything and today is the day.  The beginning of the 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop sponsored by Smeared Ink.  I've been working on these projects and I hope you enjoy them. If you get lost during the hop I do have a full list of blogs on a posted dated 9/30/11.  Well...here it is my first project

I made a Halloween wreath.  I found this project online and thought I would put my own spin on it.  I had to be taught over and over how to make a cone (thanks Tammy & Prissy) but I finally got it down I think.  LOL!  I used an old music book I found at a thrift store for the cones. Tammy gave me a great idea and said I could decorate the center for different season which I thought was an awesome idea.  I attached velcro to the back of the center so I can switch it out for whatever season we are celebrating.  I know awesome huh?!  I used stamps from Studio G along with items from Maya Road, Recollections and Martha Stewart.  I love how this came out and can't wait to display it.  Please let me know what you think of it.  Happy October everybody!!  See ya tommorrow!

Smeared Ink Hosting 31 Days of Halloween

I'm excited!  Smeared Ink is hosting 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop.  What you say?!  Yes it's true I have to create a Halloween themed project for everyday of October.  Please check out my blog daily along with a group of great crafters to see what we all come up with. 

Tri State Fair

I entered three items in the Tri-State Fair over the past week.  I was shock, surprised and excited to find out all my projects won 1st in their catagories.  I entered a picture frame which I covered in metal from Ten Seconds Studio and a zipper flower I made from zipper trim by Maya Road.  The second item is a shadowbox frame I found on clearance and altered into this piece.  I made this item for my mom for Mother's day.  Again I used lots of items from Maya Road.  The last piece is two mini shadowboxes which I binded together to create this book.  This idea was inspired by Shelly Haganman.  All pieces are from Maya Road, Ranger, and Jenni Bowlin.  I just want to thank everyone for their continued support and I guess it's onto more projects.  Thanks again!!  

Smeared Ink Weekly Challenge.....Zetti..."Find Your Magic People"

Smeared Ink's challenge for this week is Zetti.  Yeah I didn't know what it was either...but I learned and I'm hooked.  It's a form of mixed media where you take different parts and put together to create a new form and design.  Here is my take on Zetti!

Like I said before I didn't know what Zetti was before but God does work in mysterious ways.  I had to ask my good friend Prissy what this was.  Her reply "silly man it's what I've been learning to do".  I was blown over.  She was able to explain the whole concept to me and show me some great videos on YouTube.  My project is made up of stamps from Smeared Ink (Faes and Heart & Wings), Heartfelt Creations (Flower), and Teesha Moore (Body Parts and Wizard Hat).  I took a 8"x11 1/2" piece of chipboard applied a piece of textured cardstock and colored it with my Perfect Pearls.  This was also a new concept for me but love how the background came out.  I then trimmed it with some design tape from Ranger and accented with red dots using Pearl Pens.  The rest is made from a magazine I cut up.  I have totally fallen in love with this concept and plan on making some great Christmas presents for family.  Thanks for stopping by and please let me know what you think of my first Zetti creation.
