Halloween-Trixxie Treat-DT card for The Corrosive Challenge Blog

Hello my darlings!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian friends who are celebrating this weekend.

Today I'm sharing the card I made for the the new challenge at The Corrosive Challenge Blog.

Our theme this fortnight is Halloween! 

Our sponsor is the fabulous Kenny K!

  

I love getting to create with the Kenny K digis and for this challenge I got to play with Trixxie Treat!

Trixxie looks spooktacular with her tiny feather capped top hat and her pumpkin purse full of Halloween treats!

The man in the moon is smiling down with giddy approval!

I cut the moon from a sheet of Graphic 45 Sreampunk Spells. 

 I love playing with these ornamental die cuts! Especially the spiderweb gate die cut that I got from my fabulous friend, Glo! 

Last year Glo, and I did a  Halloween swap and sent each other a box full of scrapbooking/cardmaking schtuff!

We both enjoyed the exchange so much we decided to do it again this year.

(Glo you should be getting a package from me in the mail this week)

The sentiment I used is from Kraftin Kimmie stamp(Batty and Catty) and reads,

 "witchy,witchy

screamy, screamy

happy, happy

Halloweeneie!"

Too fun right?!

The paper is from Bo Bunny-Enchanted. It's discontinued but thankfully I have a pile of it!

I added some black and purple bling, a rosette net ribbon, cheesecloth, a couple of feathers and a little pumpkin button.

It's difficult to see but there is also a jeweled spider brad attached to the spider gate.

If you have a Halloween creation be sure to link up with us at TCCB!

B Unique! Hugs!

Sky's the limit now baby! Kraftin Kimmie Cordelia

I woke up this morning feeling remarkably smarter. Maybe it was from all the new blog things I learned yesterday. Really, it's like learning a new language...this pc, web, html stuff. I keep telling my older sister, Ann that if she wants to keep her mind young she needs to exercise it...do some crossword puzzles, learn a new language. Keep your mind active. I'm glad I'm able to follow my own advice for once.  It works. Well maybe I'm not actually smarter but definitely doors in my mind have been pried open.


Today I learned something new again. I decided this just might be the day I could teach myself how to add a watermark to my pictures.  After all if I could set up a blog and even add a blinkie, I could do anything now...Maybe even climb Mount Everest...Some of you card makers have the most beautiful flourished signatures on your work that I dream about having for my own...one day. Thanks to the awesome tutorials at splitcoast stamper I was able to kind of  figure it out. I downloaded Gimp and played around in that program for a couple of hours. Things were not working out for me in the sizing (scaling) departments and I had to try about 4 times before I got it to where I could work with it. I was torn between calling defeat and waiting my my darling husband to get home form work so he could figure it out for me. He's not getting home till tomorrow night so I thought I'd give it one last try. And it worked! Not too shabby...nothing fancy but at least it's a start. And what an awesome feeling to know I was somewhat capable...sky's the limit now baby.

I was so excited today to share my new shiny blog with my bff...but I had to wait because I wanted to blog next about the birthday card I made for her.  Her birthday was at the end of December and I had given her gifts but of course, being a scrapbooker/rubber stamper/card maker I didn't have a special card made to give to her at that time.*shake head here if you can relate* Well I got it finished today and asked Jan to swing by after work because I had to give her the card today because I really wanted to show her my blog. I think somehow the essence of giving got somewhat distorted with that request...oh well...
In the midst of making this blog entry she was at my door and I was able to finally give her the birthday card. So here's Jan's glitterfull  card...made with tons of love and a kraftin' kimmie mermaid stamp called Cordelia.
