Halloween Project #13 - Halloween Shrine

This medium size Halloween Shrine started with an eco-shrine and copper German scrap, both from Artchix Studios. The images are cutouts from vintage Halloween postcards.

The front background paper is from Graphic 45, and the back background paper is from DCWV. Both were distressed with black soot distress ink.

Halloween Project #12 - Distressed Halloween Card

The original vintage postcard was very distressed from age, so I decided to distress the whole card. The front and back of the card has a background that was digitally distressed, and the edges were inked with black soot distress ink. I continued the look around the edges of the cut out image with a Tim Holtz paper distresser and coordinating distress ink. The small pumpkins were stickers I distressed with ink to match the large pumpkin. I finished the card with a bold orange piece of retro lace and a black epoxy "Happy Halloween" sticker.

Halloween Project #11 - Halloween Clown Card

I love making cards with images that are reproductions of vintage postcards, and Halloween is my favorite holiday to do so.

I also love stacking layers, some raised and some flush, on my cards. This one has six layers.

Halloween Project #9

This small Halloween Shrine was so much fun to make using my own vintage images, copper German scrap and a small eco-shrine (both from Artchix Studios)

Halloween Project #3

Another Halloween scene using more paper from the Eeeek! kit by Kristmess and characters from the move by Jolee. This one is titled, "I Am the Pumpkin King!"

Halloween Project #2

"A Nightmare Before Christmas" scene was created by using a digital paper, slightly tweaked, from Eeeek! by Kristmess and Jolee's characters from the movie.

Halloween Project #1

I always stamp extras when I use a stamp and color them later. I cut them out once they are completed, and these Halloween ones needed a safe home. I hunted around my house and found an old cigar box that needed a lot of repair. I practically rebuilt the box before covering it in Halloween themed goodness. I thought it was fitting to make this my first Halloween Project for 2011.

Be on the lookout for this year's 13 Halloween Projects!

This year's 31 Halloween Projects will start soon. They will share posts between this blog and my other blog: The Other Side of Char, and there will be links on both blogs each day.

Hybrid Travel Journal

Recently I had the pleasure of working with another fun digital kit by Connie Prince.
Here is a link to part 1 of a free Hybrid Travel Journal I made using the Globe Trotters Digital Kit .

Here is the link to part 2 which includes journal tags decoration.

Halloween Project #9

Another reprint of a vintage Halloween postcard. I also stamped the background paper to bring it more up to date with the paper designs of now. Then I inked a flower that was terrible dyed in the first place (blotchy), and gave it new life. An orange brad finishes the card.
Stamp: Fiskars' Spooky Frightful set.

Halloween Project #8

This card was made using scraps from another card I made for my mom last year. Yes, I save every scrap and try to use them somehow. What I can't use goes into a recycle bin that I make handmade paper from.
Either way, the scraps get used.

Halloween Project #7

The cutiepie pictured is a reprint of a vintage Halloween postcard. I love using reprints from vintage postcards this way. I usually reduce them in size, and sometimes crop off parts from them.

WCD and Halloween Project #6

I love Halloween so on WCD I had to make at least one Halloween card. Nothing fancy as I still had to have time to make my OWH cards. I will be entering this in Joan's blog giveaway.

The little boy image is a reprint of a vintage Halloween postcard.
Stamps are from Friskars' Spooky Frightful set.

Halloween Project #5

I usualy make more of a Halloween book than card for John.
He never looks at my blog, so let's hope he doesn't change that and peek this time.
Here is one way to use those twinches I made in a previous post:
