Not Halloween: Day 10 of 31 Days of Halloween

Confused by my title? I can’t guarantee that you’ll be less confused after reading my post… So let’s just cut to the chase, shall we?

Not-Halloween-1

At first glance, you may think these photos were taken at Halloween, while my sisters and I are wearing our costumes… Think again. See the Christmas Tree in the background???

I believe these shots were taken in ‘07. And it’s just us…being ridiculous. I don’t remember the whole story… I think we were just rummaging through our old toy chest, and all of these wonderful goodies came out.

Not-Halloween-2

Sorry for the crummy pics…I am pretty exhausted this morning. You can click on any of them to get a bigger shot though. I stamped Happy Halloween all over the background and added a question mark. I also stamped stars. These are both from Cosmo Cricket. The “Epic” comes from the Smeared Ink set Teen Style Sayings. Speaking of Smeared Ink…did you know that there is a surprise from them today??? Better run over to Terra’s Blog if you haven’t already to get all the deets.

Not-Halloween-3

So technically, it’s NOT Halloween, but I made it into a Halloween type page…so it counts right??? ;}

Here’s what I wrote since it’s probably a bit hard to read in these photos. On the background cardstock it says:

“Nope. Not Halloween. Not even close…note the Christmas Tree in the background. Just me and my sisters being ourselves. Weird.”

On the checkerboard paper it says:

“Look for:

1. A war helmet

2. A dress from the 70’s.

3. A Sorcerer’s hat

4. Crochet doll’s dress

5. A Christmas Tree”

Can you find all of those things??? Good luck! ;} Please be sure to visit the rest of the Wicked Blogs, listed on my sidebar. And shhhhhh! Please don’t tell my sisters I put these pictures up! ;}

PS: Remember yesterday when I mentioned the Wild Flower Kids image I used reminded me of Pam? Well, she is wearing that costume here! Of course, she looked way cuter when she was 5, but at least you kind of get an idea of what I was remembering! ;}

Echo Park Blog Hop with Imagine

Greetings! This is my second post for the day. This one is not part of the 31 Days of Halloween, but rather a super-duper blog hop that the Artists in Residence for Imagine are doing with Echo Park . So if you're here for my Day 7 project, please check out the post HERE . But before you do that, scroll on to check out this one. There are prizes up for grabs, so be sure to check out the Imagine Blog as well as the Echo Park Blogs for details. I created my background by applying Dandelion and Tangelo Memento Ink to my brayer. Then I sprayed it with Ink Potion No. 9 to help the colors blend and to act as an extender to keep the inks wet longer. After I rolled the colors out on to watercolor paper and let it dry, I stamped the lovely doily-like image from Echo Park's Simply Sweet Stamp Set with Grape Jelly Memento. I also received the super pretty Heart Doily Designer Die  which I used with a true purple cardstock. But it needed something....and in rolls the super fabul...
