Thanksgiving wall hangings

I did finish these before Thanksgiving.   I just haven't had time to post.  There really are not a lot of options for thanksgiving decorations, so I figured I would make some.  I really love how these turned out.  I have so much to be thankful for!!!!!!!

Working

It doesn't seem like I've had much time to play lately as the kids are pulling me in all directions.  Finally, a day off today...just chillin with my "toys" and trying to figure out what my Christmas cards will look like.  I want to use a new embossing folder that I got, but nothing seems to be working just right...maybe I'm just trying to hard...

Ok, switching over to a book cover and I want it to look like a wood door.  It's coming out good so far...at least I can do something right!

It's cracking so nicely...yummmm!  This is going to be really cool.  I want to make a Christmas at home album...kind of rustic feel with lots of little birds and trees and hopefully some snow!!

Made these little ornaments too.  I used splash of color Inka golds.

I also made a Christmas dress for one of my little one's dolls, just have no idea where that little Dollie went off to...hmm..guess she had a party to attend....will post more tomorrow!

Halloween art doll

Here's my first attempt at an art doll; her name is "Shatter".  Really spooky, right?  The idea for the glass skirt came to me tonight.  I had already made the head "cage"' just wasn't sure who would be wearing this little gem.  Well, here she is!  Hee, hee...love her,

Getting in the mood for Halloween!  Just purchased a dress from the good will store for our scare crow.  Watch for me this weekend....

Book of Spells

I've been working on this book for such a long time.  For some reason, I really need time to think about the contents and how to decorate the pages.  Then, wham!  It all comes together.  I hope you like this!  

The cover was decorated with a glow-in-the-dark bat, some embossing and Splash of Color metallic rub in gold and copper.

Some of the paper used is from Somerset studios magazines, I just painted, etc. and added poems and text.  

Most of the photos in this book were taken in Apple's photo booth.  We always have a good laugh when taking these.  This photo is of my two little ones and my niece Christine.

This photo was actually taken under water at one of my teenager's swim practices.  Gold embossing was added as an accent.

This is a photo of "Mother", yes, me, without my makeup on....I really think this is a nice picture of me on one of my "witchiest" days...lol

You can probably tell that the shelves are made from the inside of a canvas.  This was actually the easiest part to make.  I had a blast finding/creating things to decorate the shelves.  Check out the little cat on the bottom shelf, reading a spell book....I also colored a crystal (from Marfi) and added it to the middle shelf.  Can you see the tiny tarot cards used!  I have a whole deck of those too!  Here's a close up of the shelves:

Hope you're having a creative weekend!!

Another card for this weekend.

This one was made from a napkin.  I just love these ladies...reminds me of my sisters.  That's me in the middle...ha, ha!

Arty Party planning

I'm making samples for my Arty Party next weekend...just a few cards for the make and take...

 

Hope everyone likes them!!!

Canvas wall hanging

Hello!  I just finished this canvas wall hanging with Viva Decor products.  I went a little rogue and did not follow the instructions...the chipboard and canvas came in a kit.  I added lots of sprays and some stamping to the pieces including on the canvas.  I just love how this turned out.  Gotta love Viva products; they never disappoint!
