Design Team Project for Quoth the Raven Challenge #40 "Snow - Poe"

1/8/2015

First I would like to welcome you to my blog and thank Ike for allowing me to be on the Quoth the Raven design team!  I am super excited and so happy to be on the team with Ike, Black Dragon, Jane, Fiona, Shell, and Kay!  Now to my project for #40 which is "Snow Poe" white on white with one other color.  The details will be under the pics....
I used a pretty blue piece of  card stock from my stash and cut the gate, grassy tombstones and picture frame (which reminded me of a snowflake) from my cricut using the Happy Hauntings cartridge from white card stock.  I was wandering through some poems of Edgar Allen Poe and stumbled upon  "Fairy Land".  The portion I used for my page was this:" Of those butterflies, Of Earth, who see the skies, And so come down again (Never - contented thing!) Have brought a specimen Upon their quivering wings."  So that is where the butterflies come from on a Poe project!  I triple stamped the butterflies, inked, fussy cut, and glued the first and attached the other two with foam dots.  The raven on the tree limb is from Ike's wonderful image "Poe Bust" and I cut two of him again inking, fuzzy cutting, gluing the first one down and attaching the top one with foam dots.  I also used a lot of Dimensional Magic to the top butterflies, top raven, parts of the fence and tombstones, the word "Hello" , the picture frame, and the tree limb.  I know it is kinda a departure from most Poe projects but I wanted to showcase a more obscure part of his work and the butterflies pulled me to this one.  I had wanted something about snow but found this one first and it sort of put itself together.  I love it when that happens!  

So pick up some paper and glue and start on YOUR  Snow - Poe project!  We can't wait to see it and you know you want to win:)  Check back to the blog page for weekly inspiration from the design team...you won't be disappointed!
Happy Crafting and get busy!!

    My precious grandpuppy, Yoshi! He went through gastrointestinal surgery for an obstruction in August and almost didn't make it. It is now November and he is doing so well just can't eat hard food:( But I love mushing his food twice a day and feeding my beautiful baby boy:)
