H'H'Hallowe'en, oohhhaaahhh,! Ha Ha Ha !!

Hello folks,
Hope today's going well with you, we have sunshine, it's a gorgeous start.

I've been playing with my new stamp from Kraftin' Kimmie  that I got from Quixotic Paperie
 Kim Dellow's blog was where I first saw this stamp and I couldn't walk away from it, Kim was no help at all, she was hiding behind the sofa :0)
I've also used the Cuttlebug Haunted house folder, from the Craft Barn.
The background is Tim Holtz texture fades, Cracked, also from the Craft Barn.
I used a rub on gold and silver wax  and this lifted the background detail, then I drew in a spiders web with Pen Touch, silver.


Cutting her out was a bit of a challenge and I just loved colouring in the house with Copics and Sakura, moonlight, clear, you can just make out the stars.

I'm off to see Shirley Valentine in the City, ooh! exciting :0)

Hope that you have a lovely day:0) xxx

WOYWW68 4for me, Hi to you!

Good morning fellow WOYWW'ers and a bright sunny day it is here in coffee headquarters, welcome to my mess, actually I've had a tidy up so am prepared to show a little more of my haven, the view from my window. If you squint you can't even see the car:)
I am working on a stamp from Art Journey and don't know what I'm doing with it! Love this stage because everything is possible, it's like the dreaded 'blank page' , for a long time now I've looked forward to the blank page, I used to be frightened but it doesn't matter if I mess up any more, what a relief :) 
If you look carefully you can just see the little devil peeking out at me, I will revisit but my first foray into working on wood was a 'very interesting' experience, one which I'm not really in a hurry to revisit, I know I'm a woos ( seem to say that every week!)
No major disasters here, no really funny happenings, so I'll sign off and go snooping , lets hope somebody's having a great day with lots of funny goings on, have a lovely day my friends.
Oh! and if you would like to find out all about the madness that is WOWW, please pop over to the lady herself, Julia's blog and all will be revealed.TTFN!

Basic Grey Challenge Sketch

Hi hello how are you? Well I hope?
I'm a little tired today my grand daughters came to visit this weekend and we were rather busy, they have so much energy, good fun was had by all :0)
Here is my card for the Basic Grey Challenge
 Here are the rules;

Playing along with the BasicGrey Challenges couldn't be more simple, all you need to do is follow the specifications of the set challenge, Use at least one item from BasicGrey and give us a link to your creation :) simple eh! :)

This fortnight was a sketch to follow by Tara G

 


I've gone really traditional this time and it's multi  layered, great for a change, I love a change!!

My Stamped Santa sack is from  Stamps by Judith
The sentiment is SU and all papers are Basic Grey Jovial Paper pad 6x6ins
that I bought at Craft Obsessions. I also used Basic grey Flurries stamp that I bought last year, no idea where from but I love them and will probably use them  a lot more this Christmas. It's the fine gold embossed design behind Santa's sack:0) The candy canes and baubles have been given a layer of Diamond Glaze, by Judikins.
