September project-completed




Here is my finished Halloween project. I had so much fun putting this together. I put a couple drops of glow-in-the-dark nail polish on the cat's eyes, the window below has acrylic and the moon was inked and then I covered it with Glass Effects. The boards on the window are actually chipboard that I inked with three different browns, then used my bone folder to create groves. I put a little marker in the groves after everything dried to create a better shadow. The door knob and path are made with The Robin's Nest brand acrylic pebbles. Oh! One other little thing, I changed the owl that was resting on the tree branch in the background and initially had a shimmery, white paper for the eyes. I changed it to red - it looks a little creepier to me. Excellent project! Can't wait for the next get-together.

These cards were made with the SU set Fabulous Florets. I love this stamp set and the decorative papers that match it.  I also used the butterfly from the Creative Memories stamp set Find Your Style.  Marcia and I got creative and these are the results.

A star is born...


I have made several stars including a Christmas one with photos and they are fun to do.  My friend Bonnie came over last week and made her first star with a 4th of July theme.
