Moon over my...............

 tombstone ????

  No, this isn't my real headstone, nor does it vaguely resemble it. YES, Jeff and I already have our plot and headstone in place.  I wanted the inscription on my side of the stone to read "She used to paint; but now she's a SAINT !"  It has a nice ring to it doesn't it?????  Bwahahahahahaha. But alas, it isn't on there YET.

Macabre or not, I love walking in a cemetary.  Nothing is more elegant than some of those beautiful headstones......right????  After all; it is out last say on this earthly plane, so make it your own.

I made this elegantly evil concoction for the challenge at Haunted Design House. Yes, that is the challenge.......to make something ELEGANTLY EVIL.

I used the October 31st cricut cart for the cut-outs of the tombstone and the candle. The moon was a

1-1/2" circle punch. Border at the bottom is a MS punch.

A lot of inking (white staz-on was used to make the misty clouds on the base) and a few strokes with a white gel pen and followed with a few dimensionals and {insert scary harpsichord music here}something elegantly evil!!!!  

Until later, Elegant Evil-doers.....Gotta split......TFL!!!!!

Reap what ya sew.....................

I love the Mini Monsters cricut cart.  It has the cutest 'monsters' on it.  Hey check out my grim reaper.  My daughter wants to be the grim reaper for halloween.  I like the fact that he doesnt want to dress cutesy for Halloween. Heck she dresses cutesy everyday going to school.  My sister is the same way, we go to a huge Halloween party every year held by a relative.....and every year my sister dresses cutesy, sexy, adorable .....WHATEVA!!!!!!  Halloween is supposed to involve dressing up and being something different, or at least thats my opinion.  Anyhooooo, this card I will give to my daughter for halloween and I designed it around a challenge (halloween) over at Cardz TV blog.  As I mentioned before I used the Mini Monsters cart and I also used a MS border punch.......a little ink, some sewing and BOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Until later, Reapers.....Gotta split......TFL!!!!!!

A Daddy's love......

These pics were taken in San Fran, CA as we were walking back to the hotel from the 4th of July festivities at a nearby park.  . I like to take pics when people don't notice it, I think you get REAL emotion. This is the love that I see from them both and it just gets stronger and stronger. As I was walking behind them I got a vision of a cartoon of two people that love each other and as the cartoon people walked, they were leaving behind a trail of flowers. Thats how this page was born. Funny the things you think of, HUH????   Bwahahahahahahaha

Deets of the LO.....

I started with the gray striped paper.  Then matted the pics with white CS.  I found an rainbow of CS that I used flower punches and I punched a few out of vellum too.

This is one of my all time fav pages that I have done.  Not sure if

its the LO or really the subject matter.....LOL

Until later, Pretty petals.......Gotta split......TFL!!!!

Fall is in the air.........

I love to sit on my front porch swing and watch the birds when the weather cools down.  I know, I know....it really isn't fall colors you said.  Well, you need to 'swing' on over to Cricut Cardz challenge blog to see why. I'm a recent addition to DT (design team) and there is a 'nest full of ideas from the other DT members.   Yep, that's the challenge for this week. Fall card using no brown, orange, or yellow.  Who-da thunk it?????  This is what I came up with, the doily cut is from Cindy Loo cricut cart. and the leaves at the bottom were punched with a MS punch.  The wording is a dimensional sticker that was in my stash.  Don't 'leave' too soon, but get your 'limbs' to moving and see the great DT designs and submit one of your own before you 'fall' behind. 

Until later, fall lovers.....Gotta split......TFL!!!!

Gurlie CHIC......

What a cute purse.....!!!!  Super easy to put together and super CHIC.....Bwahahhahahahahaahha!!!

Cricut Cardz Challenge for this week is to use scallops in any shape or form....just as long as there are scallops.  Super easy, huh???  I used the FOREVER YOUNG cart and added a little bling and that's about it. Since I know there are so many CHIC cricut-ers out there, there shouldnt be any problem getting a lot of participants.  See ya there!!

Until later, Chic chicks......Gotta split....TFL!!!

Puttin' on the glitzzzzzzzz.............

....at the Glitterbabe's challenge!!!!

It's a freebie challenge.....Glitterbabe has some free digi's that you can download and use for your personal pleasure.  What are you waiting on......ohhhhh, you want to know the deets to MY card. OK, here goes; the border was the freebie (isnt it awesome) then I went thru my scraps and found several DSP that I liked and whipped up this concoction.  I few little pushes on my drippy goo punch, a few googly eyes and this is what I came up with.

Ohhhhh and don't forget the glitz, glitter, bling, etc..........it's gotta have it!!!!!

Until later, fellow glitterers....Gotta split....TFL!!!!!

I was going to throw this disheveled frame away but a thought came to me while I was working cleaning up the studio.  I don't want any kids unattended down here.  So I took the frame from the trash pile that was rapidly building and I ran upstairs to the computer and started typing away.  I had to make sure the wording would fit into the frame itself.  I printed it out on wite card stock and then went back to my studio and painted and further distressed the frame, added some more cardstock for color and waallllaaaa!!!!


I love it, and I'm really NOT kidding!!!!   Bwahahahahahahahahaha!!!!
