Thank You For being A Friend

Got the tunes cranked up and I'm here, read to tell you about our new challenge at Open Minded Crafting Fun Challenges! Why do I have my tunes cranked up, you ask? Well, because this fortnight, our challenge is a Song Inspiration challenge! Whoo Hoo! How fun it that?! I bet you;re already starting to think about your favorite songs and what kind of crafting project it inspires, aren't you?! Hopefully you are, because we'd love for you to create something and play along with us. Remember, you have two weeks to play along for your chance to be one of our DT favorites or even a winner of a fabulous prize from one of these generous sponsors:

Wonderstrange

Chi Chi Memories

Enchanted Design Studio

Sentimental Susan

Now, on to the details of my card. "Thank You For Being A Friend" is the song that inspired my card. I made this for an amazing friend, who needs some cheering up right now.  I hope she's surprised when she gets this card and some goodies in the mail! Anyway, I went with one of my favorite color combos - Black, White and Pink. My card layout uses the sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches. All papers are from my stash. I've used a fun mix of papers: Chevron, Polka Dots, Stars and Stripes. I've used the image, Little Monster, by Wonderstrange, hand colored with Promarkers.  I've used pink gemstones and black pearls, to embellish. I added extra sparkle by using a piece of pink glittered ribbon across the center. The image and hearts were mounted with foam tape, for added dimension.This would also make a great card for kids!

Group Of Ghoulish Ghouls

I have another Halloween project for you today! This is my favorite holiday of all time so I've been having a blast being a busy busy Halloween girlie!

This is project #11 for the 12 Days of Halloween at Simply Betty Stamps.

I present to you,10 Ghouls A-groaning! I went with a shaped card, shaped like a tag. This project is so eerie and creepy! Love how it turned out!

I used a creepy image from Wonderstrange, colored with Promarkers. I wanted him to be especially scary looking for this combination of papers, so I bloodied him up a little.

Wouldn't you hate to be driving down the street and see 10 of these after you?! Heck, I'd hate to see even one after me! Scary!

I used a mix of scraps of papers from Echo Park and Recollections. The spooky colored ribbon is from the Martha Stewart halloween collection. I used some black gems to highlight the one corner of the image frame.

What A Monstrous Treat!

Another 12 Days of Halloween Project from Simply Betty Stamps

This one is for Day 8 and shows a monster! I went with a little treat box, this time.

Oooo isn't it spooky?! I'd hate to wake up and see this in my room! LOL The monster image is from Wonderstrange. I used scraps from my stash and followed the Repeat Impressions Sketch 01911. I added some bling to the handle of the treatbox with adhesive gems.

Five Spooky Spooks

I guess you can all tell that I absolutely love Halloween! LOL! I thought I was done doin Halloween projects this year, till I found out about the 12 Days Of Halloween at Simply Betty Stamps. I just had to play along, to have a chance at the grand prize! I've always wanted to be on thier DT!

Here is my project for Day 5 and the theme of 5 Spooky Spooks.

I decided to go with a tag, this time, to change it up a bit. I used scraps of papers from my stash, and distressed the edges of the tag and paper with a paper distressing tool, then distressed the edges with black ink. My image is by Wonderstrange and is colored with Promarkers. My tag layout uses Sketch #99 at Skipping Stones Designs. The orange polka dot ribbon is from my stash. I used a halloween diecut from the Apothecary line by Echo Park and distressed the edges of that with black, also. A punched spiderweb makes the perfect background for the creepy goblin.
