Haunted House

Hey everyone! Well Liberty took her nap today.. and I really needed.. wait I NEEDED some crafty time.. so I took it! :) If you know me.. crafty time is my destressor.. soo :) my house didn't really get cleaned.. but I got a craft project done does that count? lol :) I haven't done much with Halloween this year, so I really wanted to make something fun for my house! :) sooo.. I created a cute haunted house..

before putting this together, I stamped some spiderwebs (using Market Street Stamps for this whole thing..)on the house in white and heat embossed them. then I wanted to add some fun little things.. Like a cute ghost, a couple flying bats, some little spiders.. and I just had randomly won this set from Market Street Stamps.. and really wanted to ink them up.. :) so I used this collection called Sweet Spooks... LOVE it!!

There are so many little details on this project..

The spiders on the webs have some black stickles placed on top of them..

I really wanted this house to have texture.. so I bent the fence, and also added some black distress ink all over the whole project so that it gave it nice shadows and made things stand out a bit more..

I placed the bats and ghost on wire to make them seem like they are flying :) also I used some green vellum behind the windows to give it a glow.. :)

I am for sure entering this into the Market Street Stamps block party..(since I totally used only their amazing stamps :) Thanks for looking :) hugs

********ETA: I was looking at this card and wasn't happy.. something felt like it was missing.. BIG DUH!!! to me.. the little bat's ears.. (blushing here) I was so excited to get this posted.. I forgot the ears.. I have NOW... used the little cat whiskers and added ears.. :) much better.. oops)

Hey!! Okay.. sooo this card may look CAS.. but it's CA took a while to figure out.. so CATAWTFO..lol :)

Really it did.. this is the reason why.. see that adorable bat.. well he use to be a spider... and his wings, they were "cat whiskers" yep.. I used the cat whiskers from this set to make bat wings.. I paper pieced this whole card.. and the spider web is just part of the web that comes with this set.. You may be asking yourself.. DUH Alison!! Why didn't you just use that adorable bat that came with it?? Well 2 reasons.. 1-I needed a little bigger bat to balance out this card. 2- You know me.. I have to do it the "hard/my way" lol :) The only thing I wish was different about this set.. I wish there were a spider and a bat sentiment.. like I'm batty for you., or I'm Batty,. or swinging by to say hi.. :) but I still LOVE IT!! :) This set is from The Craft's Meow (Designed by Jenny Suchin)

This is the adorable set that I used.. LOVE IT!!! :)

I hope you like this little creation from me.., and I hope you all are having a wonderful Sunday! If you have any questions please ask.. oh all patterned paper is from SEI :) HUGS

Happy H'OWL' OWEEN!!! (3rd post today)

Okay.. yes.. I am sorry.. I have another card today.. I won these stamps from The Craft's Meow.. (this set is called Happy H'owl'oween isn't that a fun name) and HAD to play with them RIGHT AWAY!!! So.. I couldn't wait.. This card was inspired by the sketch challenge at The Craft's Meow.. I of course added my own flair.. but really love how it turned out.. I think for now it might be a new favorite card of mine :)

I paper pieced the owls and the cute little bats.. :) and popped them off the card..

I also pleated the "grass" for a fun look.. I love how it turned out.. all the papers here are from basic gray.. :) Thanks for looking! Hope you are having a wonderful, craft filled weekend.. hugs
