Halloween Tag Book

 Hello Friends!

Today I have a fun Halloween Tag Pocket book I want to share with you...loads of fun collage images from Gecko Galz. I used images from the following collage sheets - Frightfully Delightful Junk Journal Kit, The Witches, Boo-Tiful Too, and Spooktacular Halloween. I added some pattern papers from my stash as well as a few frames, glitter, ribbon and more! Hope you enjoy....

and the tags....

Hope you have a spooktacular day!!

It's a Witch Thing Flip Book

 I hope you're enjoying Fall or whatever season it is in your neck of the woods.

This months theme at Conjurer of Dreams is Witch Wisdom. When I was thinking about this theme I came up with so much good Witch wisdom that I decided to make a little book to hold it all. I decided to make this fun little flip book made from a single sheet of cardstock folded and scored to make loads of space to hold all these great images an bits of witch wisdom!

 

 

Witch Wisdom Grumpy Old Witch Shaker Cards

 Hello All!

Today I wanted to share some fun Witch Wisdom Shaker Cards I made using images from Conjurer of Dreams digital images.

I set of to make one but was having so much fun I ended up making 6 of them - LOL!! You know me and my sparkle addiction...I had so much fun sorting through my sequins collection. Each card has a different type/color/mix.

Hope you enjoy!

Merry Little Ornaments

 Me again...

The current Quarterly Challenge over at Gecko Galz is Altered Ornaments...

I was cleaning out my ribbon tower recently and found this lovely trim. I knew it would go perfectly with these fun images. I added half pearls for a classy touch.

The pink sides are from the Victorian Christmas Paper Pack and the main images are from the Christmas Dreamland Collage sheet.  The little bits are from the Compliments of the Season Junk Journal Kit as well as the Altered Christmas collage sheets.

You know me and my sparkle...

I had to add glitter here and there just to spice them up a bit.

Gecko Galz Quarterly Challenge - Altered Ornaments

Hello Pumpkin!

 Hello Friends!

Just wanted to share a fun card I made using an Anna Griffin die...

Such a fun card! I went with very traditional colors for this one but I think I am going to experiment with different color combinations for my next ones. I couldn't resist adding a bit of pen and ink to the pumpkin...it was just a little too clean for my liking  - LOL!!

Magic Pocket Letter

 Hello Friends -

The current monthly challenge at Gecko Galz is All Things Dark and Beautiful. The new Junk Journal Kit - Book of Magic is perfect for this theme so I created a pocket letter full of Magical goodness!!

Everything you see here minus the white sentiments which I made myself is from that kit! I just love the beautiful witches, saying cards and the extra little bits and bobs included in the kit! Everything you need for junk journals and more!

Gecko Galz All Things Dark and Beautiful

A Bit of Witchy Fun

 A couple more challenge projects ...

This is the image for the Gothic challenge at Gecko Galz this month.  Isn't she beautiful?  I just love her. Added some gold paper to mat the image, some sparklie rhinestones and that darling little pumpkin.

These ATC's were made for the ATC Challenge - this month's collage sheet was called Vintage Witches. I decided to make some "salt" paper - watercolor paper, inky spray and coarse salt. Always amazing results.  

Gecko Galz October Challenges

 Hello Friends - 

I hope you are doing well. Today I wanted to share a bit of art I made for a few of the October image challenges over at Gecko Galz.

My first project is the Card Challenge - Isn't she lovely. I used a bit of gold shimmer paper as the mat with some gold leaf trim and gold glitter glue which isn't showing up very well in the photo. I finished it off with a very fitting sentiment.

The Fantasy challenge featured this radiant stag image. I thought he looked very wintery so I made a fun shaker card for him. I LOVE the ring sequins don't you? They are so much fun and add so much interest which I paired with the flat sequins which are ever so popular at the moment.

My next project for the Christmas Challenge is rather large. It is a 6x10 plaque which I upcycled by adding a bit of brown cardstock to mat the bird/lantern image. I printed a second copy of the bird/lantern which I fussy cut and trimmed out the glass area of the lantern. I then used Distress Oxide inks to mimic the original color of the glass. 

THEN I added lights!! Which you can see lit in the photo below.  To finish it off I added lots of glitter and faux snow.

and

My final project I have to share today is the Steampunk Challenge and this lovely image of a steampunk maiden with a hat full of flowers. I decided to run with that theme and matted her on copper metallic paper onto a vintage BINGO card and then I added lots and lots of paper flowers with a few mini gears tucked here and there.  I just love how she turned out so she's going up on my wall of art.

I hope you've enjoyed this bit of art and have a lovely week to come!

If The Shoe Fits...

 Happy October!!

In the past I have participated in the 31 Days of Halloween but I don't have that much time to devote to posting every day but I do have some fun Halloween goodness to share through out the month.

Today I want to start off with a bang...

If the Shoe Fits Altered Vintage Wood Shoe Form

All of the collage images are from Gecko Galz - 

Boo-Tiful Too 

Spooktacular Halloween

I used a sepia toned decoupage glue to give it the nice vintage look. Added some ribbons, glitter border stickers and of course Mr. Skelly.

I was so happy with my idea to make the heels...foam pumpkins! I stacked 2 "regular" pumpkins and 2 glitter pumpkins. The bottom of the shoe and center portion is covered in black glitter just for some extra shine and shimmer.

So, if the shoe fits....

go kick some Halloween butt!!
