It's the 13 Days of Halloween! ~Day 9~

Hello, all! Halloween is nearing. Less than a week and the ghoulish gala shall begin! It's the ninth day of the 13 Days of Halloween over at the Simply Betty Stamps Blog! The 13 Days of Halloween are an annual celebration at SBS throughout the month of October full of challenges, prizes, and surprises! So stop by and join in!

The ninth challenge of Halloween is to use Black, Green, and Red Splatters! Use mists, paints, glitter glue; whatever gives a good SPLAT to your creations!

Check out the Simply B Stamps blog for all the fun details!

This is my project for this challenge:

 

This is my splatter card. I used Abigail Larson's image,  Mr. Gibbs Zombie Pirate, which can be purchased at SBS. I colored the image with Copics and used Queen of Hearts Red and Midnight Rendezvous Black mists from Lindy's Stamp Gang; along with Shimmerz Hermit the Frog mist.

Punky Scraps Challenge 51

Hello, all! It's Challenge 51 time at Punky Scraps! This challenge is another inspiration photo challenge and a get picky. I hope you'll come check it out and join in the fun!

Challenge 51:

The last challenge of this month:
1. Use a song title as your subtitle.
2. use 3 staples
3. use masking tape
4. stamp directly onto your paper
5. use a punch - any punch, even a hole punch 
6. be inspired by this picture of Bob Dylan

 

This is what I came up with for this challenge!

Big Time Summer LO. These are photos of me and my daughter with the guys from Big Time Rush as a concert we attended last month. They are a bunch of cuties! I was inspired by the photo's color scheme and went all out with my mists and some paint. The staples on my layout are faux staples (actually punched out of paper), and the Superstar rub on at the bottom is actually one of BTR's song titles. The only thing that I didn't do from the list was to use masking tape! What do you think?

 

 

I hope this challenge inspires you to create and that you decide to participate in the challenge! 

Tra La La & Rainbows - Punky Scraps Challenge 40

Hello, all! I am a day late in posting this; so very sorry for that. I really need to get myself back on track to being punctual again. I am here to share with you another challenge from Punky Scraps. This challenge is an inspiration challenge and gives you an inspiration photo to work with.

Welcome to February.......The month of love....PAH!! Bwahahaha, i'm such a misery....doesn't mean i'm not in love or anything....i just don't see all the money and hype behind St. Valentine's day!!

So it's doodles and rainbows for you this month and here is a picture to inspire you!!

Here is what I created with this inspiration:

So this picture, for me, inspired me to scrap a picture of my messy desk which was in complete and utter chaos for the start of the new year. The picture inspired me to use a rainbow of colors, splatters of black mist, clouds with writing on them, stripes, and a random variety of transparency designs. I am not completely happy with the turnout but I can say that I felt rather free creating this one.

Punky Scraps Challenge 33

Hello, all! Time for another challenge over at Punky Scraps! I only participate every other month over there as part of the DT but let me tell you, if you want inspiration and a chance to win great prizes, go on over and participate in the challenges! There are usually three challenges a month and all of them are so much fun! Here is a description of Challenge 33:

Hello all and welcome to November on the Punky Scraps blog. For the first challenge of the month, we have two pieces of inspiration for you this week!

First of all, a quote which you can use in full or interpret in your own way:

And then this photo (don't you just love the splashes of colour against the dark background?)

Here is what I created using the two inspiration pieces:

Forget & Move On Layout. The quote above made me think about how sometimes I over think and worry about things that I cannot change. I think I need to remember that sometimes I will just have to forget about those pieces and move on with my life. The papers are from DCWV's Colorful Life 8 X 8 paper stack. I cut four pages into 6 X 6 squares and untied them on top of some cardstock. Then I splattered and stamped paints on it, added a few stars, and some TH fragments stippled with Alcohol inks. The alphas are chipboard alphas that I had in my stash. I then cut up some of the photo to represent pieces that I need to leave behind.
