Tabitha

Today I am sharing a card I have made using the cutest little witch in digi-land, Tabitha from Mo's Digital Pencil.
Since I made my little nephew a card, I decided to make his sisters a card, too! I used some Teresa Collins Haunted Hallows papers and my silhouette for the black die cuts. I decided to add the tree's face with my craft knife at the last minute. I added some white get pen to the bat's wing overlapping the haunted house die cut to help it pop!

The sentiment is a cut out from the same old paper pad from Joann's that I used on my Zombified card.

Copics Colors:
Skin- E000,00,11,21, R20
Hair- E50,53,57,59
Clothes- C0,3,5,7,9
Cat- W1,3,5,7,C9
Broom E21,25,29
Pumpkins- Y11,15,YG02,04,07 E11,15,18

Zombified!

Today I am sharing a card I have made for my nephew for Halloween. Zombified from Mo's Digital Pencil is such a perfect image for a boy. Don't all boys play at being a zombie at some point?!

I used my Silhouette for a lot of the die cuts. I made a tag with "Trick or Treat" stamped on it and stapled some spider web ribbon on to it. The paper is old stuff from my stash.

Copics:
Skin YG03, 63, 76, W01, 03
Outer shirt BV 31, 00, 02
Shirt W1, 3, 5, 7

Mad Mummy

Good morning Kenny K fans! Today is the start of a brand new challenge! For this fortnight we are challenging you to make something with
Fall Colors!

We have three awesome sponsors this challenge:


with 5 digis of the winners choice



with a $20 Gift Voucher!

and

Marianne Designs

For my project i have used Mad Mummy. I seem to be fascinated right now with coffins, so I have made a coffin treat box. I lined it with some fun orange design paper and decorated it with white gel pen by doodling some spiders and webs.


My kids came home from school and saw this box and exclaimed, "Cool!...Awesome , it's a coffin!"
Perfect Halloween treat box, I think!

I colored my mummy up with Copics:
W1,3,5,7, and C9
Y11

The lighting washed him out a lot as in RL he has more depth to him. I really enjoyed this project and now I need to make several more so each child gets a "Cool" treat box!

Can't wait to see some of you join in with this Fall Color challenge!

Kenny K New Release: Halloween Witches!

Good morning! Today I am sharing with you one of three witch stamps that Kenny K Downloads is releasing just in time for Halloween! They are super fun as they are not your typical Halloween witches with pointy hats and crooked noses. Kenny K has also come out with some fun and funny Halloween sentiments. 

Today is also the start of a new challenge: Spooktacular!

We have three sponsors this fortnight:

Kenny K Downloads with 5 digis of the winner's choice

Flonz with a $20 Gift Certificate


and The Hobby House with a £10 Voucher



For my project, I have colored up La'Spyda and I have put her on a wine tag!


I have used Carta Bella papers, some gauze, and I have used my Silhouette for the spider web and spider. On the spider I put a rhinestone that I colored with my V04 Copic marker. The recipient for this wine tag is having a Halloween party as it is her favorite holiday and her fave color is purple. She is also very sassy, so the image and the sentiment are totally up her alley!

This was my first wine tag attempt and it is rather large, but I wanted it in the shape of a coffin and wide enough for some embellishment. It actually isn't as large as it looks, as I didn't have a wine bottle on hand but a smaller rum bottle for the photo!

Don't forget to stop by the DT blog because there are two more witches to see and the DT have done an awesome job with them!

Thanks for taking a peek and can't wait to see what you all come up with for this Spooktacular challenge!

Wee Witch

***Scroll down to see my Kenny K post with the new OMG Release***

Good morning again! I have my last post as a June Guest Designer for MarkerPop! :(  I have really enjoyed being a part of the MarkerPop! family this month. What a fun blog hop we had, right? Everyone did an amazing job and it was so fun reading everyone's lovely comments about Hedgie.

Anyways, on to my card! I have used the cutest witch ever, Hazel, from Wee Stamps. Sylvia Zet is an amazing artist!

I used an older paper pad by Carta Bella: All Hallow's Eve. I got out the amazing Cheery Lynn flourish again and cut out a gate with The Greeting Farm Gate. I cut the gate out twice: once with some off white paper from the pad and another time with black. I stacked them for a shadow effect to help make it pop off the page. I then popped them again with foam tape. It's a super fun die as I can cut it up like I did for this card or leave it whole for a different look. (I am excited to try both dies on some 12x12 layouts I have planned with which to decorate my daughter's room.) The dies are of a size that that makes them very versatile for different projects in my opinion. 
I used Wild Orchid Craft flowers, of course, and some gauze I bought at the 99 cent store to finish it off. 


I am super duper happy with this card. I seem to really like the purple cards I make. Not sure if it's the color or a coincidence, lol. I hope you all like my wee witch card as well and please leave comments if it strikes you, as I love to hear what you all think of my efforts!

Have a fantastic rest of your weekend!

Gavin's 3rd Bday

 After a crazy week of hosting Bri's birthday, going to a birthday and hosting Thanksgiving, Gavin's birthday was actually relaxing ...considering. We bought sandwiches at Costco and I had his cake finished the night before except for placing the decorations on it.  It turned out pretty good. He was really happy with it.  


How old are you?

After being Robin for Halloween, I wasn't expecting him to want a Robin cake, but that is what he asked for! So this is what I made him: a chocolate cake with ganache frosting and fondant decorations. Fondant isn't my fave, but it sure makes pretty looking cakes! I should have put him in his Robin costume, that would've been super cute!

  
I have to include pictures of him and his brothers and sister on Halloween because they looked so cute AND I stayed up many a night working on their costumes until 2am!



I also made two cakes for the school's  fall festival cake walk.  I didn't realize signing up for a cake meant two! Luckily we had some boxed cake mix and chocolate frosting! All I did from scratch was the cream cheese frosting.
