On the sixth day of Halloween...

...My true love gave to me

Six goblins gobbling

Five scary spooks!

Four skeletons

Three black cats

Two trick or treaters

And an owl in a rotten oak tree!

Not Scared Of You Card. The papers are from The Paper Studio and the goblins are fan art I found on the Internet of World of Warcraft (colored with Copics). The girl stamp is from Simply Betty Stamps.

Punky Scraps Challenge #27

Hello, all! I hope everyone is having a great day! My day is going pretty well.... a little cleaning, a little shopping... a little scrapping! Today is the beginning of Punky Scraps' Challenge #27. This challenge gives a picture to be inspired by. Take a look:

What inspires you from this picture?

So lets get on with our challenge....how does this picture inspire you?? Is it the leopard print? the tartan? the badges? colours?

Here is what I created for this challenge and how the picture inspired me!

Lil' Punk Layout. This is my eldest daughter when she went through a punky phase. I used all the things that I associate with punk: tartan, skull and crossbones, chains, safety pins, checkerboard pattern, and zippers. I misted the cardstock with Lindy's Stamp Gang mists in Yellow Rose of Texas and Hag Wart Orange, and Tattered Angels mist in Scarlet. I also used some opaque white stamp ink in combination with Tim Holtz's grunge stamps.

Hello, all! I recently was inspired by the Twisted Sketches sketch #089 and the twist "pins." I know that many would think of adding decorative hat pins but I immediately thought safety pins and that made me think about how I used to wear saftey pins on my clothes! lol! I had a punky goth phase a while back (a long while back!).

Twisted Sketch #089. The twist was "pins."

Endless Love layout. When I saw that the twist was pins, I automatically thought of safety pins and when they were a regular accessory for my clothes. I found these two pictures of me in my punkier days and I saw that they were of me and my two best friends; my husband and my BFF. I went with a punky theme and used Endless Love for the (Paper) Trailmakers Endless Love challenge. I thought it was perfect because I have an endless love for the both of them. I used my Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher to make a criss cross pattern around the die cut along with faux stitches drawn with an poaque pen. I set eyelets at the bottom of the larger picture so I could lace some ribbon through and hang some safety pins from it. I used tulle, a screw brad, and TH gear to make a flower and 

Endless Love Close Up 1. I used my Cricut to cut out some of the title and the "love" part is from the Immortal Love chipboard collection. I also used Cherry Ice Smooch to splatter some red in the background.
