Thanks for stopping by today!

Frosted Beauty

 Today I have a digital card creation I made using the current Progressive Challenge image from Conjurer of Dreams.  What is Progressive Challenge? At the start of each month Kim gives you a free image to create with. If you make something using that image and post it on the COD FB page in the PC Album for that month she will then send you the next image on each Friday provided you join in on the fun.

Well, I am trying to improve my digital skills since I'm getting into this game a bit late. I resisted for a long time but having to change my programs (from Printshop to Canva)when I changed my computers I had to relearn everything. These types of makes are helping me do so. I am learning lots of things along the way as far as sizing, layering and all the extra bits that Canva offers.

So here goes...Frosted Beauty...

In addition to the PC Challenge Image (the lady)  I also used Christmas Frames, Winter Quotes, Vintage Blue Winter Background and Poinsettia Swags.

Have a lovely day friend!

Halloween Haunts - Conjurer of Dreams!!

 Hello Friends 

It's my day to share my Halloween Haunt projects using Conjurer of Dreams images.

I have so many fun projects to share with you and the first is my Halloween Coffin Garland for my Halloween tree!

There are several sets of "coffin" shaped images on the Etsy site and I used all of them in this garland.

To make it fun from every side - one side is the COD image and the other is a bit of Halloween paper from my stash. On the reverse is another image or paper.  It's all strung on a specialty fiber in Halloween colors.

My next set of projects is this fun bracelet/necklace set using those same coffin images just shrunk down to size. I interspersed a few charms and beads keeping with the Halloween theme.

Next I have a few Halloween themed ATC's...each one uniquely different set off by a variety of COD sets.

A few cards for my next offerings...the scary doll and skull cards are digital while the little cute little witch doll is paper/glue.  I made some fringe from crepe paper to set her off.

Finally I have a Halloween wreath made using a set of bespoke Halloween Icon images Kim made for me as a challenge winner.  I just love the images and they really set the fun spooky mood of Halloween!

I hope you have enjoyed these fun Halloween offerings I have made for you.

Be sure to check out the Conjurer of Dreams blog for more spooky fun!

Happy Haunting my Friends!!
