Dia De Los Muertos

Good morning and a very happy Wednesday. Continuing with the Spooky Florals challenge over at Lost Coast Designs I'm bringing you my Day of the Dead couple.

I started by making my floral background with the Flowers background stamp.


Then I stamped and embossed another piece with Carmen's Veranda Skulls and Bones Background to make my spooky flowers.

Aren't the Day Of The Dead Man and Woman a fun couple. He may be carrying the knife but she looks scarier to me!


These are my fab stamps

Once again it's a great fun challenge, so please join in for the chance to win some Lost Coast $'s.
Take care whatever you are doing, and have a very happy November x

Once A Badass

Good morning and a very happy Saturday! Here's my second spooky piece for Lost Coast Designs' annual 31 Days Of Halloween event.


I started by making a background in Halloween colours. I know it's a bit rough but it will all be OK in the end lol.

Then I stamped the wonderful Skulls And Bones Background and embossed it in black. This is such a fun stamp!


He's such a cutie isn't he, this is Evil Eye!

Here are the stamps that I've used

Evil Eye and Carmen's Veranda

I hope you're joining us every day over on the Portal for inspiration from all of my teamies.


Take care and have a spooky week! x

Nevermore!

Today's Mood!

 Good morning and a very happy Tuesday! Our latest challenge over at Lost Coast Designs is to use at least 3 stamps. This is a really easy one for me as I always use loads of stamps - I just LOVE putting them all away again lol.



I started by making quite a bright background using distress inks, stencils, and lots of stamps and white embossing powder.

Then I nabbed a spot for my sentiment. It was also somewhere for my clown to stand on!
And these are my fun images! I love Pope Clown, he really looks like he knows how to have a good time!

Yep, I've definitely used at least 3 stamps lol. I've used

And we're all done!
I must admit I do like this one, and I've already got someone in mind for it.
I hope you join in with our challenge, and be sure to use at least 3 stamps.


Take care and have a very happy week xx

Put The Lime In The Coconut

 Good morning and a very happy Saturday. Today I'm over at the Lost Coast Portal To Creativity with my project for our fun Tropical challenge.



I started by making my background on a piece of speciality card.
Then I stamped and coloured my fun Carmen's Veranda cow. I couldn't help but smile as I was colouring her in!

Then I added my typed sentiment to my dancing Mooranda's

These are my fun stamps. I've used
I hope you like her, and that you play along with our fun challenge. As always there are Lost Coast dollars to be won.


Have a very happy weekend whatever you are doing, and thanks so much for looking x

Do You Know What It Is Yet...

 Good morning and a very happy Sunday. Today it's day 24 of the Lost Coast Designs 31 Days of Halloween challenge, and I can finally show you what I've been making. But first, here are my last 2 panels.


It's just not Halloween without Edgar is it?


And here's his favourite bird, the raven. 



This is what I've used today

Lost Coast

Agregate 

Goth Raven    and

Carmen's Veranda

Edgar Allan Poe

Skulls and Bones Background

Nevermore


And this is what I've been making.


It's a Flip Flap book! This is the inside.


And this is the reverse. Of course some pieces have to be upside down because of the flips.


With the top and bottom folded in.


With the sides folded in.

And with my Shakey shaker on the front when it's all folded in.

This has been such fun to make, and I hope you like it. Please keep popping over to the portal for more inspiration every day this month.

Enjoy what's left of your weekend, and thanks so much for looking x

Still Waiting For Mr Right

 Good morning and a very happy Wednesday. Well we're zooming through our 31 Days of Halloween challenge over at Lost Coast Designs, and I'm back today with my third set of panels.


This was one of my very first Lost Coast stamps. It's actually the Early Stitch 'n' Bitch, but with the help of a post-it note and a black pen, it's now 'Witch'

I don't know why these ladies are hanging around waiting for him, but you have to admire their commitment!

It seems to be all about the old ladies today, maybe it's because it's my birthday! 


Today I've used

Lost Coast

Early Stitch 'n' Bitch

Waiting For Mr. Right

Dancing Skeletons  and

Carmen's Veranda

Cracked Mirror

Have you joined in with our fun challenge yet - if not please do!

Have a very happy (& spooky) day, and thanks so much for looking x

Los Tres Caballeros

 Good morning and a very happy Thursday. Today I'm back with my second pieces for the Lost Coast Designs 31 Days of Halloween challenge.


You can't beat a good head swap can you, though I'm not sure that the guy in the middle is convinced!

Ok, so equal with a head swap is a shaky shaky shaker!

This time I've used

Lost Coast

Skull Flourish (again) but why wouldn't you?

Skeleton and Roses

Tres Cabelleros     and

Carmen's Veranda

Skulls & Bones Background
