Today is the day!

Or today is MY day to be more specific.
I get to share my Creepy Cute holiday creations with you
for the 

12 Days of Creepmas

I have such wonders to share with you using Oddball stamps.

Most of my makes include the Creepy Cute Chronicles freebie images.

members club, I'm using some of the exclusive images as well.

There are plenty of prizes to be won, including two free memberships to
the Creepy Cute Chronicles Exclusive Members club for one year.
And to top it all off, I am personally offering a
$20 Oddball Art Co gift certificate and a handmade card. 

All you need to do to be entered is leave a comment on each of the
designer's blogs, including Lizzy's to let her know you completed the
requirements. Maybe even let her know how much you enjoyed the hop.
She worked really hard on this!
All winners will be chosen and announced on
December 23rd.

Without further ado...

I fell in love with this adorable pup the very second 

I saw him as a Creepy Chronicles freebie.

Oh, did you miss out on him?

Well, all the more reason to join the Exclusives club,

because membership gains you access to previous images!  

I added the Bone Wreath image #351,
and the Creepmas Tree image #487.
Both available in the Oddball Art Co shop.

This little red hooded lady was also a previous 

CCC newsletter freebie image.

Who doesn't need a Creepmas Bat for their holiday cards?

Both images are CCC images.

Gwendolyne is super cute with her tiny horned buddy,

and the girlie ghostie from the skeleton pupper set.

That cool gooey background paper is from Oddball Art Co.. 

Lizzy's digital papers work great for her images, 

(any images for that matter), 

and they all compliment each other perfectly.   

This image gave me an excuse to break out with the Liquid Applique.
That neglected stuff was almost ivory in the tube,
but whitened right up when I heated it up with the ol' heat gun.

This guy just may be my very favorite.

It's like I can almost feel his pain...

He paired up perfectly with another Creepmas Tree,

and a fun and snarky sentiment.

He is also a previous CCC image.

Every year I am in dire need of gift tags.

The stitched coffin dies are perfect for my tag shapes.

Using one of the CCC holiday zombie hands,

and that cute skeleton pupper a in smaller size to fit the tag.

One of the many perks to using digital images is their versatility.

You can resize, crop, and even flip them to suit your needs. 

Here's where the other two hands crawled off to!
I will probably be making more of these before the week is over.

It was a long post, but I appreciate you sticking with me.

Be sure to leave a kind comment to be entered in the giveaways.
Naughty comments get lumps... of coal.

The more peculiar the better!!

Gah! 

Another Halloween season is behind me, and I couldn't feel less 

accomplished in pretty much every aspect of my life. 

I guess that's why I feel so deeply honored to be asked to

create for Lizzy of Oddball Art Co. It has been just the nudge 

I needed to get going creatively again.  

I mean, how can you NOT be inspired by this artwork?

Since really embracing my inner witchiness, 

these kind of images really resonate with me.

This little witch beauty and her accessories 

are the November Creepy Chronicles Monthly Exclusive set

just for premium subscribers at Oddball Art Co.. 

I already had a completed canvas board with a great texture

and crackle finish painted, and ready to go.

It paired perfectly with a spiderweb doily and the

images from this awesome stamp set. And then it was 

obvious that I needed to cut up a TH quote chip.

I sanded the edges, and then inked them using oxide inks

which gave them just the finish I was looking for.   

Lastly, I added some bling and sparkle, some TH clips,

a chain, and some of my favorite and coveted Halloween ribbon.

Oh?! Did I forget to mention that I mounted her head

 on an action wobble thingy? Well, I did, and it's perfect!

Thanks for stopping by.

Stay tuned for more Halloween makes, as I'm not even remotely 

ready to start the Yule season.       

Brewing up some Trouble

Look who's back again!!

I was invited to be a guest designer for 

Oddball Art Stamps 

Creepy Cute Chronicles new image release today.

I have to admit that signing up for the
Creepy Cute Chronicles Exclusive membership was the best

$15 I have ever spent. Well worth the price of admission, folks!

If you haven't heard of it, you really must check out the details here.

The weekly chronicles freebie this week is this fabulous Mer-Witch.

She is quite the stunner!!  

I had to color her up with Copics, as its my chosen medium to color with.

I tried to stay away from my standard orange, lime green, purple, and black

color scheme, but failed. I just don't see Halloween in any other colors.  

I also don't usually "do" scenes, but this little lady was just too

perfect to fussy cut out of her underwater lair. She comes in a set of

images which you can arrange any way you'd like, or use her already in

the scene as shown. She comes with lots of accessories and even a friend.   

I am still on my Nuvo drops kick. I used the green translucent drops

for her potion bubbles. And some White Blizzard glitter drops for some

underwater bubbles. I love these drops!

 Lastly, I mounted the colored panel onto some black card stock

and added a sentiment from my Halloween sentiment collection. 

I actually have an entire binder full of just Halloween words.

It's a sickness, but one I don't mind suffering from.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Have a great weekend!!! 

And don't forget to stop by the Oddball Art Stamps website and

get signed up for the CCC and even go for it and sign up for the 

Exclusive Membership as well. All the cool kids are doing it!! 

Where's my Witches at?!

Back real quick with another Halloween make using another

Oddball image. Well, actually multiple images.

I love this kitty image that Lizzy drew to help heal 

from the passing of her own sweet kitty.

I fussy cut the kitty after coloring her in with Copics,

and popped her on top of the headstone.

I am also a sucker for witchy things, so this hat was a must for this card. 

I used an acetate ghost, with some TH Halloween words, a punched bat border, 

and the finishing touch of Nuvo drops to bring this card together. 

I was going for the familiar waiting for her witch, kind of vibe here.

I'd also like to enter this card in current challenge at 

Oddball Art Stamps. 

  

Oddball Halloween Trick or Treat

I've been busy with the chaos of life, but managed to find the time

to get some coloring done.

I was inspired by this Oddball Art Stamp, and then just went with it,

and actually produced a card for Halloween.

This adorable little rotten elephant is from the October Monthly Exclusive set.

All the more reason for you to pop for the $15 to join the member's club.  

I colored him using Copic Warm Grays, and added pops of Halloween type colors.

I managed to work in a cupcake liner and an old Glow Skull from back in the day. 

I finally figured out that if you cut into the cupcake liner like fringe, it will lay

flat. I've been struggling for far too long on that issue.

I also used some seriously vintage paper and adhesive border from my ridiculously

overstocked Halloween stash. And my new thing is to add Nuvo drops to everything.

I added the drops in White Blizzard, but they turned turquoise on the black liner. 

I like it. 

Thanks for stopping by today.

I'd like to enter this card in the current challenge at 

Oddball art Stamps.

Colorful Ghosties

Has hell completely frozen over?!
Is it raining frogs?!

Something is definitely in the air, since this is my second post

in a week, for the first time in what seems like years.

I am thrilled to be working with another Oddball Art Stamp image today.

I started off by printing the ghosties from the 

Dots and Doodles paper pack

onto some watercolor card stock.

Since it's been so long since I've colored anything, some of my Copics are

trying to dry out. I thought I'd check my even more neglected Zig watercolor markers,

and lo' and behold, they're still just as juicy as the day I bought them!

So, water color the ghosties, I did!

After my rudimentary attempt at water coloring, I decided to color

in the background using a black Copic marker. No way was I going to risk

ruining everything at this point by trying to watercolor in between the ghosties. 

These little guys really pop against the black background! 

I love it!!

Since this image is actually background paper, I decided to keep the entire

panel as my focal point. Too pretty and cute to cover it up.

I popped the image onto some linen textured lime green card stock, and

mounted it onto a simple black card.

I found the perfect sentiment from a retired Kraftin' Kimmie 

rubber stamp set, and stamped it onto vellum to keep the ghostly feel.

Thanks for stopping by today!!

Happy Halloween!!!
