Hey! Is that my mojo? Day 16

Short of using nothing but four letter words, 

I am so happy to be feeling (if only slightly) better!!!

I must have really pissed off the karma police for this

kind of payback. Wish I could at least remember if it was 

worth it or not.  

Day 16 of the Countdown and 31 Days blog hops

promises to be a good one, trust me.

First up is a page I made for my Halloween themed paper bag album.

I am determined to finish this album this month.

This page is opposite the page I made last year that also has a 

Simply B Stamps image by Abigail Larson. 

This one is called, 'Jack and Jill'.

I colored Jill and Jack with Copics in my favorite and brightest

Halloween hues of orange, green, purple, and of course, black. 

I added Orange Peel Stickles to the die cut spider web, which now matches

the orange acrylic dots I added to each corner. The dp is Midnight Magic Halloween

from Recollections, and the border is a border sticker from Martha Stewart.

The black flourish is an acetate piece from parts unknown.

I'd like to enter this page in the following challenges:

Double Click Skittles - orange, black, purple, green (use at least two)

Simon Wednesday Challenge - Color Coordinates

PDE Linky Party - Anything Halloween

TTCRD - Anything Goes

Top Tip Tuesday - favorite color combo

Love to Create - black, purple, lime, orange

  

And then I have a giveaway. Well, actually TWO giveaways.

One for the Halloween loving paper crafter.

There are stamps, Martha Stewart paper pad and stencils, Sizzix dies, ribbons, 

a cool monster spoon, and various crafting embellies.   

There's a pumpkin scented jar candle from Salem, MA, too.

I'll probably add a few more goodies before the deadline of 10/25. 

This prize is for the (non-crafting) Halloween lover.

There's a candy corn scented jar candle from Salem, MA, a cool monster spoon,

stickers, a monster whoopee cushion (worth the price of admission right there),

a coffin, a skeleton rubber ducky, and a handmade card. 

Along with some eyeball gumballs, there is this guy.

He was a blind box double in my stash. You're welcome.

   

How do you enter to win such treasures?

It's quite easy.

First Offense: You must be (or become) a follower of my blog.

I hope you decide to stick around after the giveaway is over, but

if not, it's your loss.

Second Offense: Leave a comment on this post telling me

which giveaway you'd like to win. Crafty or non-crafty.

Final Offense: Also include your favorite Halloween or Horror

movie in your comment. No particular reason, just bein' nosy. 

And there you have it. 

You are entered to win one of two giveaways. 

I will randomly choose a winner on October 25th.

These giveaways are open to overseas entries, but be prepared to pay

all applicable import taxes that are implemented in your country.

     

    

Simply Steampunk Hallowe'en

Today I have the honor of being a part of the new release

over at Simply Steampunk/Simply Betty Stamps.

I was asked to guest DT for Betty's new line of

Hallowe'en Steampunk images, drawn by the uber talented,

Abigail Larson.

I was given Rio Gone Batty to work with.

Isn't she gorgeous?!

I felt she deserved a place in my Hallowe'en themed

paper bag scrapbook.  

I added Rio to a scientific diagram of a bat using Gimp.

Then I colored her up in my favorite color scheme, using 

Copics in violet, yellow red, and yellow greens. Oh, and blue violet

for her skin. I added some distress inks on the bat background and 

some distressing with a sanding block and scissors. 

I added one of my hoarded (it's okay, I know I'm a hoarder) Hallowe'en stickers.

I even went so far as to cut out the samples on the packaging for even more

hoardable embellishments. It's a sickness.... 

Lastly, I layered some MS punched fence and other various Halloweenie

type embellishments on top for a nice complete scene. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Keep it creepy!!

And remember: 

Only 68 more days until Hallowe'en!!!
