21st Century Pillow Book

Happy Halloween! My post may be getting up later than I would have liked, but at least it's going up! As many of you know, I am on Long Island, which got pummeled by Hurricane Sandy this week. I had no power for 24 hours, but I am certainly one of the lucky ones. My power is back, though I have no internet, phone, or TV. Thankfully, my Mom's internet is up, so I scurried over to her place so that I could get my post live. On to my project. It's the last Wednesday of the month, so that means, not only is it my last 31 Days project (major sniff!!!), but it's also the Bombshell Stamps Hump Day Hop! My challenge for this month was Black and White Halloween. I used one of the Halloween Costumes . I love this Steampunk-y outfit. I colored her using 4 shades of Copics. N2, T0, C3, and 110. I also used Banner Sayings  to write Happy Halloween in. I'm keeping my post short and sweet, because service isn't fully back to where it should be...and I worry my mo...

Hello! This is going to be a very short post, as I am about to lose power any second. This image is brand spankin' new from Dilly Beans. She's called Mimi's Witch Costume Framed. I I colored her with watercolor markers and Copics. I did the background in glitter.  Again, my purples look like crap.  Wicked Bloggers are all in my side bar. Have a fang-tastic day!

Hello! Today is a very special day for me... It's my Anniversary! 8 years ago today I married my wonderful husband, in the most magical celebration you could imagine. I am a very lucky lady. For my project, I made an ATC using a Dilly Beans image called Skull, Pumpkin and Candy #471. I colored the image with watercolors. My sentiment is from Smeared Ink . It's just a cute, simple ATC. It's all about the watercolors here. I am hoping to have my last couple of posts written by tomorrow morning......I'm in NY, and Hurricane Sandy is looming. Hopefully we will not lose power. For those of you also on the East Coast, stay safe!!! Now off you go! Off to hop to the rest of the Wicked Bloggers. They are listed in my side bar. Thanks for stopping by. Have a fang-tastic day!

Hello! I have the 4th tile in my Dilly Beans Sugar Skulls set, and sadly, an unfinished Bombshell Stamps pendant.  Allow me to show you my tile... As you'll see in a moment, I reversed the image. I didn't want two of the "same" image...so I thought reversing this one was a good fix. I colored this using Copics and Sharpie markers. I colored it using pretty different colors from the other Sugar Skull, again, to make it feel more different. Wanna see the whole set???????????????????????????????????? I am soooooo happy with it! I don't know if I can sell it....or, maybe I'll just make a second set for myself and sell this one. What do you think of the 4 together? As you are aware from a post I had the other day, Bombshell Stamps came out with 2 awesome new sets. Indian Princess and Indian Warrior . I made started to make a pendant with one of the images from Indian Warrior. So. I had her colored, cut and ready to go. Then she disappeared. ...

Hello! Today I bring you the 4th in my series of "simple" cards. Kraft cardstock, a swoosh of color, and a hand-drawn border. I love these bats. They are from the same set that the witch image in this simple card series is from. The set is from Inkadinkado, and it is for sure, one of my most favorite Halloween sets that I own. I swooshed on some purple ink, where I wanted the bats to be, then I stamped the bats on top. I added a few white highlights with a pen, and drew in my little border. I am happy to have a set of 4. And tomorrow...I will have another set of 4 to show you! I have my 4th tile complete! Remember those fabulous Dilly Beans images that I have been working with? Yay! I am really excited to share that with you. So do come back tomorrow! For now, please visit the rest of the Wicked Bloggers. They are all listed in my side bar. Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

Greetings and salutations! It's Friday, so I have a new Dilly Beans Challenge to share with you. This week, the theme is Halloween. How simple is that?! And Megan has a ton of amazing digis that fit this theme, so you can head over to her shop , snag a few, and make something fab for the challenge. I used Teeghan Happy Halloween Framed . Have I mentioned how much I love Dilly Beans' framed images? I used watercolor markers and Copics to color her. I gave her a pale blueish face...I wanted to do something different! I like the color for Teeghan a lot. Kind of a cheery Halloween card, huh? I'm cool with that! Now it's time for you to hop off to the rest of the Smeared & Smudged 31 Days of Halloween Wicked Bloggers. They are all listed in my side bar. Thanks for stopping by. Have a fang-tastic day!

This is a really exciting day! Not only do I have a fun 31 Days project, but I am also previewing (along with my fellow DT members) new Bombshell Stamps !!! And since I am so excited about these new sets, I am going to start there. The name of the 2 new sets are Indian Warrior and Indian Princess . These are available in digi form now, but will soon be available in fabulous red rubber!I will be sharing a card using the Indian Princess set. Isn't she exquisite? I colored her entirely with my Multicultural Pencil set from Crayola. Yes, Crayola. For those of you that frequent my blog, you know how much I adore this set. And I thought it was quite complimentary to this new set.  I am looking forward to coloring her all different ways. I popped her off of the ovals to really show her off, though I don't think it's too obvious in my photos. I sprayed the background with some sprays from Tsukineko. Make sure you check out the rest of this set and the Indian Wa...
