Make It Colourful - Coloring with Purple

We have a new challenge for you at Make It Colourful today. The challenge is to color with purples.

So I made this Halloween wall hanging using some fun new Halloween images from Make It Crafty. They are sooo cute and so spooooky!

The wall plaque, from Michael's, was unfinished and I painted it black and glued on these 2 images: Mini Gothilia and Mini Morticia.  

The purple color I used for both of their dresses is V99, V95, V93, V91. Other copic colors used are C3, C1, C00, N7, N5, N3, N0, E42, E40, E29, E25, E21.

Following are the challenges I will be entering with this project:

Paper Pals Arts - Halloween
Crafty Creations - Anything but a square
Crafty Sentiments - Halloween
Papertake Weekly - Anything goes

Our sponsor today is Some Odd Girl. Some Odd Girl is the place to find fun and quirky digis that I know you will love!  I hope you'll play along with us at Make It Colourful for your chance to win 3 freebies from Some Odd Girl.

Halloween Haunted House

I created this (not-so-scary) haunted house for my Magnolia-licious secret sister. I cut the house out with my cricket and the winter wonderland cartridge (love the designs on this cart). The papers are by Debbie Mumm that I picked up at Joanne's. I colored 2 Tilda's and have them peeking out the windows. They both have finished trick or treating and are still in costume.



I also have Edwin peeking out one of the windows on the side of the house.



Here is a closer view of the Tildas in the window:

Witchy Tilda










I'll be sending this out along with some other goodies on Monday - 3 days late (ooops) but I had fun making this. I hope my secret sis likes it!?!?

Happy Saturday

Happy Saturday! Today is a beautiful day here in New England and before I go outside to enjoy the weather, I thought I'd post a few pictures. First, I wanted to share a picture of my girls. They started school this week. YEAH! Look at those happy faces, I hope they're still smiling in a month, LOL!!



They are great kids. My older daughter, Elena, has also started paper crafting and using my beloved stamps to make her own cards. Here are a few of the cards she made.



And this next card she made using my cricket machine.



She has her own blog also. It's called www.elenascraftycorner.blogspot.com. It would be great if you all had the time to stop by and give her a quick comment of encouragement and if you know of any other card making kid blogs out there, I'm sure she would appreciate looking at their blogs. Thanks!!

Here is a card I made for the September mingle at the Magnolia-licious yahoo group. I will be sending it to my mingle partner, Cabio, real soon. Cabio, if you see this post, no peeking!! :o)



Here's a little closer view.



This is my first stair-step card and I love how easy it is to create a scene using this card fold. The tree, fence, cats, ghosts, and haunted house I cut out with my cricket. And I had the Tilda with the broom and Edwin stamps that I stamped out and colored with my copics. The other Tilda was an image that my friend, Cabio, sent to me along with some super stickers that I also used on this card. The awesome paper I used is from K&Co.

Thanks for looking! Enjoy your weekend. Peace, Angela
