Get Spooked

Happy Halloween Witches!!!  Of course this is my favorite holiday, as most of you know...so I had to share a Halloween page with you all.  This is my oldest daughter, Jasmine, in 2011, hanging out with one of our handmade monsters that we had. 

I used Bo Bunny Wicked paper collection.  The spider webs were handstitched on to the corners.  Cheesecloth and lace were used to frame the outer edges of the layout.  This page was made to keep with some subtle changes from the one I sold.

 I picked up some leaves at the Dollar Tree and got some feathers by Petaloo to tuck behind the Maya Road cloth flower.

 One of the handstitched webs.

 The chandelier chipboard piece came from another Halloween project, which I ended up never making because I like all of the embellishments on Halloween layouts instead.  LOL! 

And while I was at Dollar Tree getting the leaves, I came across a cool package of spider rings that I had to get as well.

Have a fun and safe Halloween!  Hope you all get some nice treats!!!

I used Bo Bunny Wicked paper collection.  The spider webs were handstitched on to the corners.  Cheesecloth and lace were used to frame the outer edges of the layout.  This page was made to sell and the other was to keep.

 I picked up some leaves at the Dollar Tree and got some feathers by Petaloo to tuck behind the Maya Road cloth flower.

 The black doily was purchased at Joann's in the wedding section.  The ticket came from another Halloween project I got at Michael's.  The title is a sticker I had on hand.

Une Promenade (a Walk)

 Here is a beautiful photo of my oldest daughter in Nov 2017.  We went around town doing a photo shoot for her senior pictures.
I made two of these pages so I could keep this one and sell the other. 

The papers are by Enogreeting found on amazon.  I also got the key and clocks from amazon.  The cameo was purchased on eBay. The bigger flowers, lightbulb, metal trinket and chipboard pieces are all Prima.

 I hand stitched throughout the page.  I just pinned the cameo on the scrunched up paper, by wetting the area and pinching it back to reveal the lace underneath.

 This wooden die cut frame was from Michael's.  I sprayed it with Glimmer Mist.

This very cool gothic looking iron gate die cut was a gift from my friend Pat :)

I super appreciate you coming by!

 Lots of hand stitching throughout the page.

Thank you for your time!

Beach Bum

 Hey lovies!!!  I am so behind on loading my pages that I ran out of room on my counter in my kitchen of all the products I use for each layout, which I put aside to include when I upload a page to my gallery.  So at least I can say I have been busy creating over these last few months, even when I haven't shown my face around all that much.  Yes, I feel bad...I will try to be more consistent...promise!

This cute little tushy belongs to the most adorable girl named Cali, whom I used to babysit, years ago at the beach in Carlsbad in August 2015.  I used the Graphic 45 Sun Kissed collection, which is super cute and lots of fun.  Plus some lovely 49 & Market chipboard and flowers.  And of course some real starfish and sea shells to finish up with.

Thank you for stopping by!

Blank Card

Hey friends!   I know it has been months since I have popped in to share anything.  I defiantly have been creating, but I honestly just got out of the habit of using the internet, so starting up again has been put aside for a long while. I made this steampunk looking card with  some extra scraps I had lying around.  I appreciate you stopping by to take a look!

Forever

 Here is another version that sold already.

Escape

 I loved how the layout of Bliss turned out so I made another to keep for myself while I sold the other one.  Again, this is Andrew at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas in August 2016.

I decided to use this one for my May Mixed Media Challenge entry over on Scrapbook.com.

The two pages are a lot alike but also different in many ways.  I used the same Captured Adventures 49 and Market papers.

 The anchor and title are 49 and Market chipboard pieces.  The net is Dusty Attic.

 The wheel is a Creative Embellishment piece that was white washed, crackled then inked.

 The flowers and pipes are 49 and Market.

 I treated the corrugated torn cardboard with white washed gesso paint and then used some glitter mod podge over it.  Underneath, it has misted cheesecloth and white washed burlap for more texture.

Bliss

 This is Andrew digging into the sand at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas CA in August 2016.  A view of true Bliss.
The papers used are Captured Adventures by 49 and Market.

 I bought a package of starfish from Michael's and when I opened it up they stunk so bad, like rotten fish that I had to put outside to air out.  They are super brittle and most of them were already chipped.  I used mod podge to keep the ones I used on the page from chipping further.

The fishing net is Dusty Attic, which I added some pearl beads to.  The flowers are 49 and Market.  The anchor is Creative Embellishments.

 The sand dollar and blue pearl are 49 and Market die cut sticker bubbles. 

 I put a small piece of paper into a glass bottle for a "message in a bottle" embellishment.

 This chipboard is also from Creative Embellishments.  I white washed it, crackled it then inked it for a distressed beachy look.

I used white washed burlap and misted cheesecloth for texture under the corrugated cardboard that was white washed and then got a layer of glitter mod podge.  The stitch work is all hand done.
