Day 20 Halloween Treats

Today is Thursday and another StampInsanity challenge day...and day #20 for Smeared and Smudged's 31 days of Halloween...and some sad news...I'll be leaving the Stamp Insanity DT after this...I just don't think I can keep up with everything after the baby is born...hopefully I'll be able to come back after I get the hang of things... :( I have had a blast...these ladies rock! so I decided to go out with a bang...I made a super cool project for this challenge Halloween Treats ...check it out
see...super cute huh? I took my two fave images...both Devil Dolls (surprise surprise) Lilith and Kassandra...I colored them with colored pencils...they are kinda tiny so you can't see much detail but they are super cute in person :)

what I did was I took a can of fruit cocktail (the little ones...about 5 inches...I think) opened them upside down (to keep the pop top intact) (leave a little attached...it helps) ate the fruit..mmm... and then washed and let it dry...I then filled it with some tissue paper and candy (all packed upside down) then I hot glued the bottom closed...decorated the sides and tied it off with ribbon....yup I think thats it...I'm planning on giving these to my mom and mother in-law when the baby is born...kinda like a thank you and congrats on being a grandma...and cuz I know they'll appreciate them :)

here are some more pics of the process...hopefully it kinda helps explain what I did....kinda :)
sorry I know thats long, and you have allot to do today...all the Wicked Bloggers and all these Stamp Insanity Groovy Guls...all located on my sidebar...see ya'll around :)

EDIT: I forgot to mention that this fab Devil Doll's Digi set will be given away to a lucky winner, all you have to do is trick out your treat and enter the challenge!

Crinkly baby toy

We are officially one week into the 31 days of Halloween!!! YAY its the weekend, It was such a long week...I'm so excited for today...I have another baby shower! so in light of that I made my little one a toy...I found the idea on this blog, and decided to make one for my lil Halloween monster :)

I used CTMH (close to my heart) stamps and some orange and black material I had laying around, and some ribbons...I wanted to get the different textures for her, the rick-rack is kinda felt, and the bats are slick, and the black is grosgrain, I cut up a chip back and put it inside and sewed it up...the back is just black fabric...not sure what kind its kinda slick...and as you can see in the right light...kinda transparent...I stamped my images with black stazon ink...and I'm going to get some C clips (I think is what they are called) so I can hook this onto her car seat....this was so fun to make and so easy, I'm going to do more for my baby and have some on hand for other showers...

thanks for taking a look...have a fab weekend and don't forget to visit the rest of the blogs on the list ----->

Lonely boy tag

so how was day 1? super cool hop huh? this is going to be so fun! such talent!!
now onto day 2
today I have a tag to share with you


I used alcohol inks to make the background...I first made alcohol splotches, then went over them with rubbing alcohol to lighten them, and then I put droplets of alcohol down and took a coffee stirring straw and blew the alcohol and made the splotches....I was just playing around and I really like what I came up with...so I stamped my Lonely boy (from Smeared Ink) and his spider and added a glittery boo to my tag...and there I have...what I think...is a pretty cool tag!

now off you go to the other fine people of the hop...again they are all on my sidebar...and you don't want to miss anyone....the whole month there is going to be prizes to be given away....all you have to do is find the hidden image in one of the blogs....every day there will be a chance for a prize...good luck and have fun hopping....I know I will!!!
