Vintage Halloween Chunkies

More spooky fun! These are the chunky pages I made for a swap hosted by Andrea on ATC's for All. The theme is vintage Halloween, so I glamed up some clip art with spooky layered paper, creepy rub-ons, sparkle and tinsel chenille. I loved making these!

Love Thee Better Dead Tall and Skinny Swap

My very very favorite holiday is the day of the dead! My first altered journal is crammed full of things I've swapped for featuring those crazy, kookie walkin and talkin dead people :)

This is my submission for a swap hosted by Electablue on ATC's For All. It is stamped, printed and collaged with some spooky purple netting too. I cannot wait to get enough to make my first tall and skinny dod book-wooo hoooo!

Glory- icycle paper doll

This girl has been in the works for years! First I made the face from fimo and away it went into a box. A few years ago I was peeling faux stucco from a wall an fell in love with the shape and texture of the piece that is now her body. Early this spring I was wandering around a variety store and found some little thingies that you use in fishing lures and put them in my stash. Last week I discovered that Ria Vaneman is turning 50- just a week ahead of me. I wanted to send her something special, and all I could think of was putting Glory together. I hope she likes her!

Wink!

This is a card using chipboard embies, fabric paper, a vintage button and stuff.

"All it takes is a Wink, and Big Daddy's wallet falls right open for shopping and fun for his girls!"

The Cake Eaters

The cake eaters- a true love story!

They are cake eaters. That's what they do. Their friends eat cake too. Sometimes they eat each others cake- even the crumbs!

This is a Gothic arch atc, embossed in purple, embellished with color metallic studs using Home Impression Design Collage Sheet 2- the lovers :)

Just Girls ATC's

Here is a batch of atc's using images from both Collage 2 and the Fashion set. I used overlays, mica sheets and some odds and ends to create this eclectic mix.

I'm late, I'm late!

Could I be any further behind? I have some projects to upload, and some great things in the works. Also two exciting swaps coming up- Halloween vintage and DOD tall and skinny. I love Halloween and in a close second is Day of the Dead.

My classes started, so I've been building a strong study foundation since I'm old as dirt and can't remember anything anymore. My brother went and returned from 10 days in Ecuador, touring the Galapagos and the jungle- I am praying for some great photos to alter. My hen Gladys laid her first egg yesterday ( I am hopeful that Genevieve and Gerty will follow suite soon). Those are some fat and happy girls- they are crazy about bananas! I snatched an incredibly colored eastern box turtle off the main road Friday (he was upside down in the middle of a lane). He is ensconced in the "hospital pen" and recovering nicely. Lets see.... that nasty tropical depression caused a flood- see the funny pic of our local Chick Filet, the caption says "Lake side dining available". And I think that would sum up the highlights as they were for the last 2 weeks :)
