12 Days of CREEPMAS Oddball style!!


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 
with Oddball Art Co.

I have such wonders to share with you using Oddball stamps.
Most of my makes include the Creepy Cute Chronicles freebie images.
And to further prove my point that you should join the exclusive
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.

Happy Anniversary Alice!


Today I am celebrating the 150th Anniversary of Alice in Wonderland
by taking part in a celebratory blog hop featuring lots of creative projects 
inspired by this wonderfully strange, and adventurous story.

Not only will you be awed by all of the amazing artwork, 
but you can also win prizes from these generous companies;







Prize winners will be selected from random blogs throughout the hop. 
In order to be eligible for a prize, you must visit all stops on the hop and leave a comment. 
The prize draws will be open until July 18th, with winners announced on July 20th.

Okay, now that all of that is out of the way, I bet you'd
like to check out my Alice in Wonderland inspired project.

I have quite a few Alice in Wonderland stamps and digital images to 
create with, but I was eager to use my newest digital acquisitions
from the very talented, Vera Lane Studios. Actually, the artist is named,
Janet Klein, but she lives on Vera Lane, so hence the business name. 

I recently got some new craft room storage and ended up with a bunch of
dividers that were intended for some of the new drawers. I opted to fill the drawers
without the help of the dividers, but thought that they'd make good wall hangings.
Into the hoarded pile they went! And then I had an idea for some AIW wall art.

I began by painting the panel bright red, and then applied a white
crackle effect over the top. That was way too white, so I toned it down
with a brown acrylic wash. I wiped most of it back, but left enough to give it
a nice, antiqued feel. It is the 150th Anniversary, after all.

I manipulated the Vera Lane images in Gimp, and created the
panel and images to fit my layout and design.

What is Alice in Wonderland without Alice?
Here she is looking a bit disheveled, which is why I love her.
Maybe that tumble down the rabbit hole was a bit more rough than
anyone originally thought. Looks like stitches were necessary. Ouch.
I colored her with Copics, added Glossy Accents to her eyes, and
some Stickles to the bloody bits for a sparkly effect.  

The White Rabbit received the very same treatment as Alice,
but he managed to make it down the hole unscathed. Lucky rabbit.

I adore the Mad Hatter! So fun and silly! I referred to a 
photo of Johnny Depp's Mad Hatter for the color scheme.  

I used the mushroom and the Queen of Hearts here.
I manipulated the mushroom in Gimp to give me a smaller and 
a reversed image mushroom. I colored them both with Copics and
used some Rock Candy Stickles to the spots for a nice sparkle.

I punched holes at the bottom of the panel and added ribbons and charms.
I made the Queen of Hearts charm using a small playing card, Crackle Accents, 
grunge board, and Glossy Accents on the back to seal everything. I added a red beaded
accent to the bottom as well. Super fancy!  


Well, that does it for me.
Enjoy the rest of the hop, and if you are only arriving here
by chance and want to check out the entire hop, the list of
participating blogs is listed below for your convenience.

new store. My favorite are the Zombie themed sentiments
No! Really?

I have paired one of those sentiments with a new Tickled Pink image
called, Zombie Kellita, also available at Graphicat Designs.

SBS Challenge #1 and a blog hop

Following Eulanda in every hop is almost too much pressure for me.
She is such a brilliant artist with the cards and she's a pretty awesome human too! 

Well here we are a New Year and a whole new set of Challenges! Today we are having one big shindig! We are combining our first Challenge for 2011, and a blog hop for a chance to win 2 Valentine Emos! Whoop whoop!


What's the challenge? The challenge is Two is Better than One... use two images to create a love card, or it could be a Besties card the possibilities are endless with two images!
Upload your creation to the inlinkz below by Monday at 10pm PST one lucky person will be the winner of 2 Digi Valentine Emos!

I went a little outside of the box on this one and used 
the Miller and the Christian images on this card. 
I ended up with only the two fellas colored up, and no girls in sight.
I decided to make it work, and I knew just the dude to give it to! 

 
Oh Miller, you are my favorite Emo boy ever! But, I was so perplexed by your brows(?),
that I had to make them into sunglasses, which is what I thought they were to begin with.
I think it kinda works. 


I also used a great quote from Plato.
I had to come up with something somewhat Emo for my sentiment.
My son, who is 11, gave me the Emo thumbs up on this one.
I do remember what it was like to be a morose and brooding teen full
of angst and frustration at the world.
Remember it?! Hell, I am still livin' that crap!

Anyhoo,
All the Valentine Emos are now available in the store in digi form, the Pre-orders for rubber is also now available just remember that they will start shipping Feb. 1st.
Hop along leave all the DT gals some lovin' and you will get a chance to win 2 Digi Valentine Emo's of your choice! WHoop whooop!

Next up is more creative brilliance from the loverly,

Halloween is Hoppin' at Tiddly Inks

After much anticipation, it's finally here!
I am fairly new to Tiddly Inks (6 months or so), but when I started
seeing these adorable images I was an instant fan!
Then when I heard about these new Halloween images I was chompin'
at the bit to get my grubby little snausages on them.
Here is my first round of images from the new Halloween release (I'm sure I'll need them all at some point).
I give you , Batty Bugg, Franko Boto, and his lil' brother, Vamp Boto.
They are out trick or treating by the light of the moon, in the creepy graveyard.
  
And lil' Vamp Boto's pet bat, Belfrey Boto (I named him myself) is keeping 
watch over the kids on their Halloween adventure.

Something about making scenes and making up a story as I go along, helps with the creative process.

Well, that's it for me.
Have fun on the hop and thanks for dropping by for a spell.
