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

Missing Mojo -Creation

Hey everyone! Well we survived our camping trip :) and we had a blast.. it was so much fun hanging out, shooting guns, riding 4wheelers, catching crawdads, and watching the kids have a ball.. :) here are some fun shots.. ( I am always behind the camera.. so I didn't get any photos.. anyone else the picture taker in their family?)
Gram and Liberty (she fell asleep while 4 wheeling.. so we let her lay down.. what a silly girl)
Poppie and Pearl (of course we had to bring Pearl along, she is one of the family... she loved it)

Stefan and Stretch starting our fire.. (what a good boy-scout)

-On a crafty note, I feel like I have lost some of my creative mojo..:( So this is a simple card that I made to try and get back in the swing of things.. I hope you enjoyed your holiday weekend.. :)

I used Lindy's stamp gang starburst stain to splat on the stain.. it was a bunch of fun.. These stamps are all from Unity.. (love them..) this is the butterfly stamp set you can win (see my candy on the sidebar)
I embossed the 2 smaller butterflies (wet embossed,) and also the background is dry embossed too :) Thanks so much for looking.. HUGS

a card for Ryan

Hey! So I decided to make a really simple, one layered card for Ryan and his family.. If you don't know the story, I strongly urge you to go to this website and read it. Also send a card..:)
I have to tell you I had a blast making this card.. I used stampin up inks, and applied them with a sponge on the card.. well that was after I heat embossed with white embossing powder the image from unity.. :) The thing I found hardest was making the dark colors really blend together, and not just stand out where you lay down your ink.. I like how it turned out! Simple yet interesting is what I was going for.. I hope you all are having a wonderful week :) HUGS
