InStyle Stamps Blog Hop

Hi everyone!

Well, another month has almost come to an end, and InStyle Stamps always does a blg hop on the last Friday of the month!  This month, we are making a project that showcases the theme of giving thanks.  So, I decided to make a money/gift card holder! 
If you arrived here from Kristine's blog, you are on the right track.  If not, please head back to the ISS blog to start at the beginning! You don't wanna miss any of the fun...once you are done the hop, go back to the ISS blog, and vote for your favourite DT project, and leave a comment.  There will be a prize for one lucky participant - a $25 goodie bag from from ISS!

Here is my project:

I got this idea from Amy Celona's blog, THIS post...it was probably a couple years ago that I found it, and I've been holding on to it.  Anywho, my base is Close To Cocoa CS, and I added a piece of Bashful Blue on the top.  My DSP is some of my favourite for the winter/holiday season - SU's retired Frosty Days DSP.  I used my scallop edge punch to make the awning, and I added some Martha Stewart Snow Glitter to the top for some fun snow.  My sentiment is from an SU thank you set, stamped onto the blue CS with Close To Cocoa ink. 

I printed Snowflake Chloe onto PTI White CS, coloured her with Copics, and cut her out.  I put a few Dimensionals from her knees up to her head, and attached her to the smaller brown panel.

The half-circle on the inside was cut with my 1 3/4" circle punch, and the snowflake brads I bought at a craft store EONS ago!  I thought they would make a cute touch.  So, this part makes the pocket for the "thank you" money or gift card!

Your next stop on the hop is our guest hopper Wendy Price!  Make sure you leave her some love!

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

ISS Sketch Challenge

Hi all,

Now, the InStyle Stamps sketch challenge is usually on the first Wednesday of the month, but I thought I would give you a little reminder!  Our challenges on the ISS blog run for a whole month, so you have lots of time to play!  You still have time to get in on this challenge HERE, but only until November 2.
Here's the sketch:


Here is my take on it - I went a little down home country feel on it:
My card base is Basic Gray, and the DSP and the mat is a gardening piece from DDDesigns.  I thought it was kinda cute - I think I found it on sale at an independent scrap store some years ago.  I added some white eyelets to the corners, and used my Crop-A-Dile to set them. I added some twill around the whole base layer, then added 2 miscellaneous flowers with a button in the middle to that.  I also added my sentiment using puffy white Thickers - love that texture.

I printed the digi Pie onto PTI White CS, coloured it with Copics, cut it out, and mounted it on with Dimensionals.  I am so hungry for pie!!! Ideally an apple, or a strawberry rhubarb.

Don't forget to stop by the ISS blog to play along in our monthly challenges!

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

A New and Odd Release is coming...

Hi all,

Well, I have a cute and fun gift tag to show you today - and it is for the winter holiday season!  Now, we are still 2 months away from Christmas, but us crafters usually get a head start!
I am using an image that will be released at Some Odd Girl on November 9: Pressie Tobie!  Just WAIT until you see all the holiday/winter images that Kristy has dreamt up for us all - you will just die!

I am playing along with a few challenges today as well:

- Allsorts Challenge 75: Spots and Stripes (I have spotted DSP, and striped ribbon)
- Craft Your Passion Challenge 29: Glitter/sparkles
- Fussy and Fancy Challenge 22: Winter Wonderland

This gift tag is made using a piece of Close To Cocoa CS with 2 of the corners cut at a diagonal.  I added a 1/2" Basic Black circle at the top, with a 1/4" circle punched out of the middle.  It looks like a re-inforcer!
All of the DSP I used is from the retired SU pack called Frosty Days.  On top of the base, I added a green piece of DSP with a black mat.  I also added a Whisper White strip, punched with my Martha Stewart Icicles edge punch, and wrapped some matching miscellaneous ribbon around that.  Lastly, I added a piece of polka-dotted DSP to the bottom.

I printed Tobie onto PTI White CS, coloured him with Copics, and cut him out.  I also added some glitter to the ribbon on the present for some sparkle.  And Tobie's green eyes are done with an Atyou Spica glitter pen.

Did you know that voting is open HERE for the name of our poor Monkee?  Make sure you help us decide what he will be called!

Also, you only have a few days left to get your SOG FREEBIE before the month is up and a new freebie comes to us.  Make sure you download it if you haven't - it's perfect for the month of October.

Also, we have a challenge happening on the SOG blog - a colour challenge to fit the season perfectly!

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

Monday Showcase - Happy Everything

Hi all,

It's time again for another Monday Showcase at The Town Scrapper blog!  I had to pull out another fun image from Kraftin' Kimmie this time - her name is Yvette!  Did you know that Phebe sells Kraftin' Kimmie stamps at The Town Scrapper?  Phebe actually sells all kinds of great brands of stamps, and this is just one of them!

I went for a really clean and simple card this time - the image is pretty big, so I just used it to fill up the whole card.  My base is Kraft CS, then a Basic Black mat. 

I stamped Yvette onto Bella's Bestest paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and coloured her in wth Copics.  I added some shading with my Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol/OMS.  The sentiment also comes with the girl, so I stamped that at the bottom in black ink.

That's it for today - don't forget to stop by the TTS blog to participate in THIS week's ongoing challenge!

For all your papercrafting needs, contact Phebe by email at info@townscrapper.com or by phone at 519-882-0623.

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

MTSC96 & Windy Mae

Hi all,

I have a card to show you today, and I am playing along with Mercy's sketch challenge for this week.  You can find that post HERE, but here is the sketch:


Fun, right?  For some reason, I love the sketches that have a large main panel - I feel like they are saying to me, "go ahead, do whatever you like with it"!
Anyway, us Oddies at Some Odd Girl, have been having soooo much fun playing with the newest release that Kristy gave us all.  I don't mean to be pushy, but you NEED some of these images! LOL
They are in the store :-)

Here's my card, and I almost followed the sketch to the tee:

I started with a Kraft base (5 1/4" square).  The 3 panels of DSP are all from the same pack: the retired SU pack called Nouveau Chic.  I love the pretty neutral colours in it.  I kept it pretty simple, and didn't mat those layers.  I also used another rolled felt flower as an embellishment, and added some Sage Shadow CS leaves (punched out with a leaves Sizzlet and my Big Shot).
I printed Windy Mae onto PTI White CS, coloured her with Copics, and rounded the corners, which I also did with the Basic Black mat.

Now for some other fun stuff...we have started the voting on the name for our new monkee HERE.  Please help us out and let us know which one you like!  He has been nameless for tooooo long!

Also, the SOG blog just put up another challenge, and it is a colour challenge!  Should be reallly easy to play along with, especially if you have any of the new images.  Hint, hint.  Head over and check it out HERE.  We have a different challenge every two weeks, so you have 2 weeks to play along!

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

Friday Challenge: Some Inspiration

Hi all,

It's time again for another Friday Challenge at The Town Scrapper blog!  This week, we have chosen a fun pic as inspiration, and we got it from the Decor8 blog HERE!  Check out the pic:


For my card, I chose to go with the clean and simple feel of the picture, and I followed the same colour theme and little layout at the side.  I used Whisper White for the base, and I cut 1/2" circles out of white, Crushed Curry, Soft Suede, and Dusty Durango CS, and added some stitching in random patterns.
I used the Victoria Case image called Beary Sweet, and coloured her in with Copics.

Don't forget to stop by the TTS blog to submit your own creation using the inspiration picture!  We always draw for a prize out of the entries!

For all your papercrafting needs, contact Phebe by email at info@townscrapper.com or by phone at 519-882-0623.

Bellarific Sketch

Hi all,

Well, I couldn't help myself...I had to play along again with the Bellarific Friday challenge this week over at Bloggabella, and it is a sketch!  And after being at Scrap Fest, how can you not be full of stamping energy?  I did buy some of the new releases from Stamping Bella, but for this week's card, I used an older image - PERFECT for guys!  Here is the sketch first:


Alrighty...I kept it really simple - I hear that's how tha guys like things!  I used mainly Basic Gray, Whisper White, and Basic Black CS.  But, the striped paper, and the big blue piece are Crate DSP (the Sailor line).  I added 4 pewter brads to the corners of the base, and I drew a silly doodle frame around the smaller square.  I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp the Happy Birthday sentiment in the lower corner.

I stamped Hanging Sports Block onto Bella's Bestest paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and coloured it with Copics (and a bit of Prismacolor Pencils for shading).  I cut that out with Circle Nesties, and added some sponging with Bisque ink.  I stuck that onto the smaller square layer, and added some zig zag stitching in the corners.

Well, that's it for now...thank goodness it's Friday!
Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

Inspiration Challenge With ISS

Hi everyone!

It's time again for another inspiration challenge with the InStyle Stamps blog!  I really like the Inspiration challenges because we usually get a really fun picture to play with, and this month is no different!  Our DT Coordinator/Superwoman Taylor has chosen this awesome pic from Martha Stewart:


I love this picture - the colours are so rich! And of course, the pumpkins!  Very seasonal.

I decided to make a scrapbook page for this project.  I really needed something for this season with my adorable twin nieces! The pic is about 2 years old, but still cute as a button.  I took the layout from a Close To My Heart idea book.

Here it is:
I only used Pumpkin Pie and Basic Black CS, and all the DSP is from a retired SU pack called Ghastly Greetings.  This is the last of this paper, and I'm trying to finish it off.  The square panels were done with 1 3/8" and 1 1/4" punches, and I added some DCWV chipboard sticker letters to each square.  The title was done with some stickers from Creative Memories.

I printed a digi of Patches onto PTI White CS, coloured him with Copics, and cut him out with a thin white border.  He was mounted on with Dimensionals.

All in all, I really liked how my page turned out, and I will be adding it to my collection.

Make sure to stop by the ISS blog to see what the whole DT have done, and to enter your own creation using the inspiration photo!

New Release: Purrfect Day

Hi everyone!

This week, we are showing a bunch of samples on the InStyle Stamps blog to showcase new releases!  Today is the day that we get to show you Purrfect Day - look at this lazzzzy cat. 

I used Marigold Morning CS for my card base.  Then, I took a piece of Kraft CS and embossed it with my Mesh Cuttlebug folder, and then sponged some Basic Gray ink over the raised parts, and I matted it with a Basic Black piece.  The next layer is Whisper White.

I printed Purrfect Day onto PTI White CS, coloured it with Copics, and matted that piece with Basic Black. 

Make sure you are stopping by the ISS blog to see what the DT have done, and check back daily for new sneak peeks!

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

Christmas Virginia

Hi everyone!

Well, coming off my fun trip to Scrap Fest yesterday, I had to create something!  After getting a couple of brand spanking new stamps from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps, and watching Melanie colour for a little bit, I really wanted to start practicing.  I am pretty happy with it, but I will definitely keep practicing.

Now, we got to purchase the upcoming Christmas stamps that Kimmie is releasing, and they aren't even in the store yet!  Way to make us feel special!

I chose to work with the Annie Rodrigue image Virginia!  She is sooo cute with her stack of presents, and I paired it with some Echo Park papers (the Happy Holidays piece, and the Holly Jolly piece).  The sentiment is from one of the other images.

My card base is Close to Cocoa CS, then a brown and white plaid piece of DSP with a Basic Black mat, and I added some zig zag stitching.  Then, a smaller square of DSP with a black mat, and I added some Close to Cocoa sponging on that piece, as well as some straight stitching.  Then, I added a brown and white snowflake DSP strip with a black mat. 

I stamped Virginia onto Bella's Bestest paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  I coloured her in with Copics, and added the shading around her with Prismacolor Pencils.  I mounted that onto a Kraft piece and then a black piece, which was punched with an EK Success edge punch.  I stamped the sentiment on white paper, cut it out in blocks and mounted the pieces onto black CS.

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

ScrapFest 2010

Hey everyone!
I don't have a project to show you today, but I wanted to share my day!  I went to Scrap Fest in Oshawa, Ontario today, and I had a blast!  There were sooo many vendors, it was almost overwhelming.

Did I go overboard on my spending?  Absolutely!  There was a certain discount seller where I stocked up on some Copics and refills that I didn't have, and I bought a whack of new images too!

I also got to chat with some awesome friends...

First off, I headed for the Stamping Bella booth, and saw Emily and Helen.  Emily's store is not that far from me, so I do get to see her from time to time.  But it is still a treat!  Here we are:

I have to tell you all...Emily is a blast!  We also have something in common: neither of us has a very good filter with what we say.  But, she had me laughing, so I thought she was great!  They had a great demo going with their Viva products too.  I will see her again next weekend at the Creativ Festival in Toronto.

I also stopped at the Kraftin' Kimmie booth because I needed to catch up on some of my Annie Rodrigue images, and I knew I would see Melanie Holt there!  Now, if you have not been to her blog, you MUST go and see her colouring.  She is THE QUEEN!  We are also on a Design Team together, so it was nice to meet her in person.  We had a good chat, and she is the nicest person ever!  I also asked her for some tips on colouring hair, because what she does with it is breathtaking, and she was gracious enough to sit down and show me.  Here we are:
I told her I would look for the redhead!  And there she was.

Anyway, I can't wait to go to the Creativ Festival next weekend, and see what good stuff I can spot.

Thanks for stopping by!

Bellarific Friday: Kettos!

Hi all,

I am playing along again with this week`s Bellarific Friday challenge over at Bloggabella!  This week, Emily challenged us to use any of our Ketto stamps!  Now, I have to admit, that I have a LOT of KETTOs, so I had no trouble with this.

I went a little overboard on this one...LOL.  I actually chose my paper first, and molded everything else around that.  The patterned paper is from SEI, and it`s from the Windsor collection.  I punched the patterned paper with an EK Success large scallop edge punch, and punched the black mat with the double scallop edge punch.  The gold stripes are really metallic and shiny.  I also used Kraft, Basic Black, and Whisper White CS. 

On the next white panel, I added 2 gold corner stickers at the top.  To the bottom, I added some nice off-white satin ribbon - this was attached to a pair of pajamas I received as a gift. hehehe
For the next white panel, I cut the shape out by hand with my Luxe Labels template, and my hobby blade, and I added some dry embossing with the same template and a stylus. I went around the edge with my gold Krylon pen as well.

I stamped Agnes Ketto onto Bella`s Bestest paper, and cut her out with Label 4 Nesties.  I coloured her with Copics and Prismacolor Pencils and OMS.  Inside the Nestie, I added some sponging with my Wheat Dew Drop ink.  I also added some of the gold Krylon pen to her hair and stockings.

I added a bow to the bottom using the same ribbon and my Bow Easy.  It was attached with some Mini Glue Dots.

TGIF, and have a great weekend!
Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

InStyle Colour Challenge

Hi all,

It is that time of the month again...OK, not THAT time, but we are celebrating another colour challenge at the InStyle Stamps blog!  What a way to celebrate hump day.  We got a really juicy picture to inspire our colours, and it goes perfectly with the season!  Here's a glimpse:


Taylor got this pic from the Country Living blog HERE.  Isn't it festive?  They have all kinds of beautiful table settings to gawk at.

Well, instead of your typical fall/Thanksgiving card, I chose a totally opposite image, and just used the colours.  I'm just quirky like that!

My card base is More Mustard CS, then I added a layer of Whisper White, which was embossed with my Argyle Cuttlebug folder, and matted with Basic Black.  I wrapped a piece of Soft Suede polka dot ribbon around that base layer.

I printed GiGi onto PTI White CS and coloured her With Copics, then added a Basic Black mat.  I kept it very simple, because the image is so large...not much else I could do  : )
GiGi is not out yet, but is an upcoming release at the ISS store!  She is part of the "A Day in the Life" series.  She is rather naughty, though...prolly every guy's fantasy, right?

Make sure you head over to the ISS blog to see what the DT have done, and to play along with your own creation using the colour scheme!

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

Gone Batty

Hi all,

As you may know, SomeOddGirl had a fabulous release of a whole whack of images recently.  I had to pull out one of them to play with.  I am using Bat Tobie, and he is SOOOOOOO CUTE!

Here are the challenges I am playing with:

- Card Patterns Sketch 85


- Fussy and Fancy challenge 21: Hallowe'en
- AiFactory challenge 51: Embossing
- Color Me Copic: Colouring Folds  (I hope bat wings count!)

Here we go:

I used Pumpkin Pie, and Whisper White CS, as well as some old SU Ghastly Greetings DSP.  For the 2 half circles on the sides, they were cut out with circle Nesties, and embossed with my Spiderweb Cuttlebug folder.  I added some Old Olive grosgrain ribbon across that, along with a black and a white piece of CS punched with my Martha Stewart rats punch underneath.  For the main circle, I punched out a circle of green DSP with Circle Nesties, and a Pumpkin piece with Scallop Circle Nesties.

I printed Tobie onto PTI White CS, coloured him with Copics, cut him out, and mounted him on with Dimensionals.  I absolutely love the Tinies images that have been released, and they are the funnest to colour!

Don't forget to play along with the Fabric challenge over on the SOG blog - you have plenty of time!

We are also still trying to find a name for our Monkee HERE.

And if you haven't downloaded this month's FREEBIE, what are you waiting for?

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

Monday Showcase at The Town Scrapper

Hi all,

We get to play along with another Showcase Monday today at the Town Scrapper blog!  Every Monday, the Scrapettes get to play with any of the stamp brands that Phebe sells in her store! So this week, I chose to work with The Greeting Farm image called Cheeky Glamour!

I used Whisper White, and Basic Black CS, and my DSP is from a DCWV pack called All Dressed Up.  I punched the white strip with the Martha Stewart edge punch, and tied some gray taffeta ribbon around it.  I also punched out a white piece with Label 1 Nesties, and added some sponging with Antique Linen Distress Ink, and tucked that under the horizontal strip. 
I punched out 2 photo corners with my SU Photo Corner punch and Whisper White CS, and added 2 bows that I bought in a package from Michael's (not sure of the brand).

I stamped Cheeky Glamour onto Neenah Solar White CS with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and coloured her in with Copics, cut her out, and mounted her on with Dimensionals.  I also added some Sakura Glaze Pen to her eyelids for some shiny eyeshadow. 

I like how girly this card turned out - she is definitely inspired by Marilyn!  Stop by the TTS blog to see what the other Scrapettes have done!

InStyle Stamps: Willows

Hi all,

I am here to show you this simple, yet beautiful digi image from InStyle Stamps called Willows. Here is the card I threw together:

I have used Soft Suede and Basic Black CS, as well as some Hawaii Papaya DSP.  I added some sponging with Soft Suede ink to the DSP, and I rounded all the corners with a punch.  I also stuck some rhinestones to the right side.  For the horizontal strip, I punched the edge with an SU scallop edge punch, and added some more rhinestones to each scallop.

I printed the image onto PTI White CS, and added a little bit of colour with some Copics.  I rounded these corners as well, and added some sponging.

For the inside, I used some more of the DSP, with the same edge punch, and added a white panel on top with some Soft Suede polka dot ribbon.  The sentiment is from Unity, just stamped with black ink.

Don't forget: we always have a sketch challenge, an inspiration challenge, and a colour challenge running over on the ISS blog - you should definitely check it out.  You have a chance to win some ISS images!

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

Theo and his Prezzie

Hi all,

Here is another card that we made at Stamping Bella's colouring classes last month.  This one was dreamed up by Paulabella, and she gave us such a cute image to play with: Theo Gives A Prezzie.  About time we get to make a Christmas card!  I think Christmas cards might be my favourite to make - they always have such fabulous images to choose from, and you can usually play around with lots of different colour schemes!

Paula gave us some really lovely blue textured cardstock to use, along with some pretty blue and green patterned papers.  We actually didn't get to this one in the class, but I finished it when I was in Vegas, then put it together, and added the stitching and the glitter when I got home.

Theo was stamped onto Bella's Bestest paper with Memento ink, and coloured in with Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol/OMS.

As you can see from my final picture, certain critters were making it difficult for me to finish this post....HMPH.  This is Sugar  : )

Make it a great weekend! Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

TTS Challenge: Distress It!

Hi all,

It is Friday again, which is wonderful just by itself....BUT to add to that, we have another challenge at The Town Scrapper blog!  If you head over there, you'll be able to see the winner from last Friday, as well as the intro of this week's challenge!  This week, the Scrapettes are challenging you to add some distressing to your project!

For this week, I chose to work with a cute Victoria Case image that Phebe sells called You Are So Birdiful!  HAHAHA - get it?

OK, so I used Bermuda Bay, Basic Black, Whisper White, and Elegant Eggplant CS.  On the large white piece, I added some score lines to make a grid, and I distressed the edges.  I wrapped some Bermuda Bay ribbon around the project, and then I added an eggplant strip, punched with a Martha Stewart edge punch.  I cut a swirl out of white felt, then rolled it into a flower, and stuck it on, adding some Certainly Celery leaves underneath.

My image has been stamped onto PTI White CS, coloured with Copics, and cut out with Long Rectangle Nesties, and distressed.  The same was done with the black mat.

Well, I think you should definitely submit your creation using some distressing, and you can also check out what the other Scrapettes have done on the TTS blog!

Also, for all your papercrafting needs, contact Phebe by email at info@townscrapper.com or by phone at 519-882-0623.

Bellarific Friday: Fall Colours

Hi all,

Well, isn't it just the sadest thing when you have to go back to work after some time off?  I am amazed that everyone that comes back from vacation doesn't go into a deep depression! LOL

Anyway, it has been TOO LONG since I played along with Bellarific Friday, so I am getting back into it this week!  Every Friday, there is a challenge on the Bloggabella, and this week, we were supposed to create something using fall colours.  I don't really have any fall stamps, but I really wanted to play, so I just chose a stamp I love, and put the fall colours to work!

By now, you all know how much I love to colour, and I'm sure you can figure out how much I love Mo Manning's images!  I chose the adorable Cinderella to work with this time.  Isn't she darling?  AND she comes with a really cute sentiment, that you will see in my last pic.

I made sure to get some use out of my SU retired Fall Flowers DSP on this one - perfect for a fall card!  I also used Whisper White, Really Rust, and Soft Sky CS.  I did some sewing on the bottom panel with my Janome Sew Mini machine.  I took some delicious chocolate satin ribbon, and draped a piece down the centre, and cut a "v" at the bottom.  Then, I took another piece, and made a bow using my Bow Easy, and attached that with a mini glue dot. 

Cinderella was stamped onto Bella's Bestest paper with Memento ink, and coloured with Copics, and Prismacolor Pencils, and cut out with Rectangle Nesties.  I then sponged on the inside with some Wheat dew drop ink, and matted that piece with the Soft Sky rectangle. 

On the inside, I used some more of the same DSP, and I stamped her sentiment onto some white CS.  I just love the image and the sentiment - they are perfect!

Well, I hope everyone is looking forward to their weekend!  Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

Stash 8 Challenge: Add Some Fabric!

Hi all,

Every 2 weeks there is an awesome challenge held over on the Some Odd Girl blog, and our time has come again!  It is time for the 8th stash challenge, and we have been challenged to add some fabric to our project!  Now, you can't squeak by with only adding the usual stuff like ribbon, lace, and thread.  You really have to add some fabrics that we don't already use on all our projects!
Also, I don't want you to get too excited, but the Some Odd Girl store just had a HUGE release this week, and the Odd Girls are all playing with brand spankin' new images for this challenge!  OK, go ahead and get excited!

Let's see what you can come up with!

Here is my take, and my fabric of choice is felt!

For my card, I chose to work with the cutie Ballerina Kaylee!  Now, this was technically a Hallowe'en release, and I chose a ballerina...so you would think pink, right??  Wrong!  I really wanted to play with some fun and spooky colours, so my card is a bit out-of-the-box!

My card base is Whisper White CS, followed by some striped paper from SU's retired Ghastly Greetings DSP pack, matted with Basic Gray CS.  I added 3 strips of black grosgrain ribbon, just to break it up a bit. 
For the smaller panel, I took a Whisper White piece, and added a mask to the centre, then stamped a cheesecloth background on it with black ink, and sponged in some Basic Gray ink around the edges.  Then, I removed the mask, and sponged some green and vanilla inks in the centre, and matted that piece with Pumpkin Pie CS.  I drew in some bats with my black Sakura Glaze pen, and I punched some clouds out of white felt and stuck them on.

I printed Kaylee onto PTI White CS, coloured her with Copics, cut her out, and adhered her with Dimensionals.  Her blue eyes were done wih an Atyou Spica glitter pen.

Don't forget to take a look at the SOG blog to see what the DT have done, and to submit your own creation using fabric!

Also, there is a brand new FREEBIE for this month - make sure you head over to get it!

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!
