Halloween has begun early...

I've had a lovely time this week creating orders and also finding some time to make some new crafty items. Of course being pagan I love Halloween, so its been very fun making a door hanger/sign and also some new Halloween stickers.

For the first time in a couple of years (years!!!) I am going to enter the sign/hanger into a challenge or two! 

Entering into Tuesday Throwdown anything goes, Not Just Cards anything goes, and of course Mo's Challenge of anything goes using a mo image.
When i saw the fabulous Mo image of this fortune teller I couldn't wait to get her coloured up! I knew she would make a great 'fortunes told' sign. The papers I've used are some old basic grey eerie's. I added a lace bow and some buttons from my stash as well as some crystal accents in the corners. All the card edges are given a distressed look.

As well as the hanger I made these Vintage style Ouija stickers available to buy here in a set of 4.

I've also added the hanger to my etsy shop to purchase here as a one off piece.

As part of the month long celebrations forQuixotic Paperie's 2nd Birthday all the Design Team ladies are making a special project-along with all sorts of other fun days! And this is mine!

For my project I just had to play some more with my Graphic 45 Halloween in Wonderlandpapers-and decided to team them up with the awesome Artistic Outpost Wonderland Collage Stamps. What better combination!

I've made some notecards-a Set of 8 with envelopes using the papers and stampsbut decided they needed to have a proper 'home' so I made a box for them! There's going to be quite a few piccies so hope you've got a cuppa!

Quixotic Challenges-Move It Move It!

Afternoon guys!! How's your weekend going? Everything's great here:) Had to come on and show you my DT card for Quixotic Challenges-was so fun to make-you'll have to go check out the other girlies work for the challenge-it's fab! So Kim (paperbabe) set the challenge this week and she chose 'move it, move it'-basically you need to have an element on your card that has movement-such as a tag you pull (like I did), a slider card, a spinner card etc:)

Last month I bought the fabulous Fred and Ginger stamp by Kraftin Kimmie and I've been eager to ink it up!! It also comes with a sentiment stamp that says 'love bites' hehehe. For my moving feature I added a pull out tag. The tag is actually one of my Vampire Blood tags available in My Etsy Shop. All the papers I used are Basic Grey Eerie from last year.

On the image after it had been coloured (with copics) I decided it needed something else so I popped some Crackle Accents on and went to bed. When I went to finish my card off I thought the crackle accents had gone off until after a while I realised I'd put matte accents all over it! Anyway I did a rescue by putting lots of rock candy crackle on:) Phew!
