Love at First Fright.!

Happy Halloween to you ! I had high hopes of doing a very spooky piece for you for today, but ended up with my two skeletons having a hug with a spider!! Now is she in love with the spider or her mate? lol The little charm on the tag made with Mr Holtz's embossing folder is from the girls paperie, and these are the heaviest charms I have seen in a long time.

I am having a day with DD today , so am off shopping and then dinner, and lots of spooky fun later in the dark! 

Today is also the last day for the Warrior Woman's blog challenge, and for my blog candy, I will be picking the winner later today, and posting it tomorrow :))

Happy spookiness to you

It's a tad hot here!

Ok, I am certainly not complaining, in fact I LOVE it! the weather is hot, balmy, very SUNNY, but NOT the weather for stamping or crafting...but I did grab 2 little pieces of already alcohol inked card, add a stamped image, a couple of words from the girls paperie stickers, and set my mojo working! The first one is a flower from Graphistamp ( anyone remember them?) , and the sun is from American Art stamp. The flower didn't stamp too well ( not enough ink! doh!), but I kind of liked it. Just a simple pair of cards perfect for adding to gifts.

Happy 4th of July to my friends in the USA, and my candy is still up for grabs till midnight USA time, so post a comment to be in it to win it!

Home Sweet PINK Home!

This piece came about because I have just received some of the girl's paperie chipboard and stickers, and ribbon for the shop. I love the pink colour, and absolutely am a pink girl! I am sponsoring Alter it Monthly this month ( you get to win a voucher worth £15.00 for goodies from The Artistic Stamper), and the theme is Home Sweet Home, and although technically I haven't really altered anything except a piece of paper, I thought this fitted perfectly!
I absolutely adore these goodies from Margie, so pretty, and the words are brilliant.. can you tell I am in lurve! I grabbed a piece of pink stripy paper, and really did nothing much else but add to the layout with the sticker letters, and the die cuts, and the gorgeous ribbon., not a stamp in sight! The pin attached to the ribbon is a Tim pin with a watch piece layered in with glossy accents.  I did also succumb to a large amount of glossy accents on the clock and the letters "pink", and the little roses in the picture frame are a fabulous way of using Grungepaper with a technique blatantly stolen from Lynne Forsythe! Thank you Lynne, these are even more addictive than grungepaper roses! I have to confess that I did distress ink them, and used superglue, as I couldn't wait for the glossy accents to dry. I also used Tim's on the edge dies to cut the strips, and to give them a little bit more texture.

 I hope you like, and will pop over to Alter it Monthly to see the fabulous artwork, and enter their challenge!
Hugs
