Dilly Beans Challenge Number 58 Left of Center

12/12/2014

This is a very quick and easy card! I colored the lovely Dilly Beans stamp with Bic Markits and mounted the image on a coordinating card stock. That is mounted on the back card stock with snowflakes and that is mounted on the front of the card. In between the mounted image and card stock is a piece of glittery ribbon. Diamond Accents are on her flowers in her hair and her gorgeous eye! The dream, joy, and love, and frame are clear stamps from Joann's for a $1. Thanks for taking a look!

Happy Crafting!

Day 5 of Creepmas by Smeared and Smudged

This steampunk, bad Santa sleigh is first of all bringing skulls, bones, eyeballs, and matches to those of us being naughty. Second, it started out as this marvelous little thick book with wheels!! How fabulous is that for a whole dollar at Target! I unfortunately had to make this from the back to front due to technical difficulties but it has a neat little velcro closure (You know I love those!!)! I covered the wheels with some cogs and covered the book base with gold and black cardstock. The sleigh was a freebie from Graphic Fairy I think and the skull and bone from my scraps making my wreath from Smeared Ink (Thanks, Teri! see I told you I put myself in the corner!), the eyeball is from a pack at Simply Betty's stamps also the pack of matches, and the little bag of cotton candy is handmade from my stash. This was posted accidentally at Haunted House (bad computer, bad!!) but just the front! The bag has googly eyes...googly eyes and velcro closure..I am over the moon!! The sentiment was made in PhotoShop. The bag is made of burlap paper...probably should have distressed it more.... The front page is covered with paper from my stash as well as the second page. The banner is colored with distress ink watered down and the title is written with a embossing pen and black embossing powder on top of that. The clock is embossed with silver. The banner is from Simply Betty's Stamps and the clock and the "believe" paper is from Graphic Fairy. The Believe page is punched with a holly leaf edge punch on loan from my Auntie and the Santa face is covered with an ornament from Smeared Ink. The lovely skelly has golden embossed eyes and a red, crackle finish ribbon! Can you guess I just got my first heat gun and embossing stuff? Yep, took the dive off the deep end...any advice will be appreciated!!
Oh well, off with you....I am watching to make sure you leave lots of wonderful comments to my friends to the right!! Hey, you.....start typing!!!

Happy Crafting and Merry Creepmas!

This is the latest one yet! My migraine is making it awful hard to see right now so excuse my mess today! This is a little notebook from the Dollar Tree already glittered and the star cut out. The heart is from a package from Simply Betty's stamps glued on and cut out when dry. The image is Rick's colored with distress markers with some mistake melted beads that are glow in the dark so I figured that made up for their weird shape! The backgound is a piece of Christmas card stock with trees on in and the bottom portion is a piece of burlap paper card stock. The sentiment is cut from my Cricut. That's it!

Happy crafting and Merry Creepmas!

Scroll down...Creepmas is the next post if you ended up here:) I am so happy to and proud to be a member of the Design Team at Left of Center! I got my badge posted today and it still makes me smile! Thanks to Mo for giving me my first chance! Never, ever thought I would get over my shyness showing my projects but so much encouragement from friends made through Smeared and Smudged have started me on this journey...a little later than the 18 year old wanna be art student planned on with a lot of twists in the road...never made it to art school but married the love of my life and had my lovely babies, so no regrets! All things in time and this seems to be perfect timing in my life:) Will stop writing now before I cry on my keyboard and lock up the computer! Gotta have it right now too badly! Thanks for being here for me! Much love and appreciation.

Happy Crafting and Merry Creepmas!

Day 3 of Creepmas at Smeared and Smudged

This one was so simple It shouldn't even count but it DOES....:)! I found this little plaque with a sad little metal mushroom in it feeling unloved and unwanted! I had thoughts of painting it and had the Poe image of Ike's already colored for another project and the colors just seem to fit his holiday "portrait" just like it was so no paint, nothing, nada! Copied the image to size after coloring..finally learned that trick! and the sentiment and candy canes are from Simply Betty's stamps Holiday Elf Trio I think is the name. I had a perfectly new spray of red berries out for house decorations when the cats decided to goth them up for me ( same spray from Wednesday's wreath eaten up too!) so I glued them on the berries. I used a tiny craft card to make my background for my sentiment probably had something on cricut to use but like this so stayed sitting down..lol! I used Distress markers and inked everything with a Distress ink pad and black ink pad. Printed everything on watercolor paper , fussy cut, and glued. Honestly, this little plaque did all the work. The project made itself! Go show some love for my fav artisits to the right!

Happy Crafting and Merry Creepmas!
