Macabre Monday "Witchie Woman"

Here is my submission for Barb's latest challenge over at Haunted Design House.

The theme was "Witchie Woman", and immediately Stevie Nicks popped into my head. I've been a fan since the early eighties and have always heard rumor of the beloved Stevie being a witch and that she made a deal with the devil for her fame as her voice has been a bit suspect by some.
No matter to me, Stevie has always had a bit of a witchy mystique that I have admired and even wanted to emulate in my younger years.
This little page might be a nice addition to my "Scrapbook of Me", that I plan to make some day.

  I wanted to add this little song snippet from the Eagles song cause I thought it was fitting ('cept for the raven hair part).

Ho, Ho, Uh Oh!

When I first set eyes on this image by Daniel Torrente from Stampotique I knew it was meant to be my Christmas card this year.

I had a blast making the dirtiest and grungiest card I could muster. I giggled like a lunatic as I added the little drops of "blood" and added the same gore to the ribbon.

 

The only thing lacking was the perfect sentiment.

Found it!

Macabre Monday #15 Sinister Smirks

Here is my entry for this week's Macabre Monday Challenge over at Barb's Haunted Design House blog.

My, what a pretty smile you have! Okay, maybe pretty is pushing it, but a large, sinister smile at the very least.

This is a Daniel Torrente image from Stampotique.
Isn't he just the creepiest?! I LOVE him!
Daniel Torrente (and his wife too!) has really come up with a line of stamps with the creepy crafter in mind. It's about time!

Heathen's Greetings everyone!

Hambo Hogs and Sketches challenge #3

Here I am coming in right under the wire for this month's Hambo sketch challenge.

Better late than never right?

I used the free digital image that Hambo so generously provided to participate in their challenge. They also have a free piggy image too!

I colored this guy in a while back, probably in the summer time.
Now is a great time to bring a little warmth and sunshine into my workspace since Christmas has officially taken over.


I have had this drink cube stamp for ages (years!!) and it has finally seen ink! Yeah! I think I need to throw more luaus or something so I can get more use out of this stamp.



So, are you gonna play along or what?
The new sketch comes out on the first of the month and you have all month to play!

Fairies, fairies everywhere!

More fairies.

 I just can't get enough of these fabulous images!

This is my first Christmas card of the season.

I think I will try to make each fairy into a Christmas card.

 I really don't think it's possible to make these gals look bad.

 

This is probably the one I am most fond of at the moment.

I really like how her wings turned out.

  

I finally got a chance to use the MS butterfly punch that I picked up on clearance at Wally-World. I embellished the c-rap outta this little dude and it looks much better from FAR away.

 

I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of these images in rubber!

Fairy Inspired

Wow! That is all I could say when I first set eyes on this new set of digis from The Greeting Farm. I first saw them on Wicked Pixie's blog and frankly anything that girl colors is awesome, so I wasn't sure if I could do them the same justice. Well, I am so impressed with myself.

   

At first glance, this was my favorite fairy, but now that I have colored and created with each one, I find it very hard to choose a favorite.

In Hog Heaven

I was playing along with the Hambo Stamps "Hogs and Sketches" challenge last month and my card was chosen as a winner!!! Yea me!

Monica over at Hambo let me choose 4 stamps and this is what I received:

Killer schwag huh?

This is what I did with a couple of them.

I really like the image which is perfect for my little beach bum.

The sentiment is what sold me on the whole deal though.

I am entering this card in the November sketch challenge over at Hogs and Sketches.

You should play along. Really, I mean it.

You've got the entire month to submit your entry!

C'mon, all the cool kids are doin' it.
