The ghost was cut out and popped on a scallop oval shape (Nestabilities Scallop Ovals Die-Cuts) with 3D foam circles. Around the edges of the scallop oval I made dots with Spiced Marmalade Distress Stickles. The candy corns were popped on black card stock in the corners (Sizzlits Photo Corners #2) with 3D foam circles. The yellow, orange and black card stock is from TAC. The yellow card stock was embossed with Cuttlebug Haunted Halloween Embossing Folder. I inked the folder with Memento Potter's Clay Ink, placed the card stock in the folder and ran it thru the Sizzix machine to show a darker detail image. The card was embellished with orange rhinestones, black satin ribbon and a grosgrain Happy Haunting ribbon.

Vanity


It sure has been a very long week. Moved my daughter and her 3 boys into an upper duplex on Saturday. Spent Saturday - Monday unpacking boxes, hanging curtains, blinds, pictures, etc. Not to mention doing 12 loads of her laundry to get her caught up. Then on Tuesday I decided to clean the attic completely of all of Karissa's old things that she never took with her. I took out 4 bags of garbage, an old under-the-bed drawer set and made a pile of items that Karissa will be storing at her house. I swear I don't want to climb stairs for awhile - 2 flights of steps are not fun. And my health is still not the greatest. Can't seem to get rid of this bronchitis/cold. But, the good news is I now have a craftroom all to myself. Plus, my laptop is up and restored. Yeah! I am finally up and running again to where I can start creating cards again. I'm so excited! So, I am posting this card I made - Vanity from Sunshine's Stamps - http://www.yourspecialdelivery.co.uk/sunshine-stamps.html I colored the digital image with Prisma color pencils and OMS. The glass jar was crystal lacquered. I used Nestabilities Labels 4, Ovals and Scallop Ovals Die-Cuts. The card stock is Basic Grey - Eva and the black and burgundy is TAC. The black card stock was punched out with Fiskars Lace Border Punch. I embellished the card with 5 black brads, 4 black half sticky pearls and burgundy/green satin ribbon.

FrankenBunny Post-It-Note Holder


Meet one of Sunshine's Stamps Signature Image - FrankenBunny! He is the cutest franken bunny ever and I got the pleasure to design a post-it-note holder with him. I cannot wait to meet the other signature images and have fun playing with them also. He is a digital image like all the other images you have seen on my blog that I have created cards with. Go visit Sunshine's store at http://yourspecialdelivery.weebly.com/sunshine-stamps.html to see which digital image you may want to purchase and create wonderful cards or other projects like this post-it-note holder. I colored the image with Prisma color pencils and OMS. The green, black and orange card stock is from TAC. I used Nestabilities Circles and Scallop Circles Die-Cuts to cut out the image, the green and orange card stock. Green card stock was also used to make the note pad holder. Here is the link that I used: http://paperpleasing.typepad.com/my_weblog/2008/01/post-it-note-pe.html The black corners were done with Sizzlits Photo Corners #2 and an orange button was sewn on with green thread. I placed black satin ribbon around the holder and tied a bow to keep it closed. The words Franken Wishes for a Frightful Halloween was done on the computer by Sunshine's Stamps. I colored parts of the saying with a Sakura Gelly Roll pen - Copper Star.
