Now this is another celebration that we don't have over here - I have never really heard much about thanksgiving so this was a bit difficult for me. 

I Apologise for the photo - the battery went on the camera and it decided to take all the time it could to charge.  The image is if from The Stamping Boutique I coloured it with copics

Lets Go 'Haunting'

Evening all - well this is a very late post from me - I have been lacking in MOJO for the past couple of days and I don't know why - I have managed to do 11/13 of the challenges over at Simply challenged Challenges and this one - well I just had no get up and go - But after being told off for thinking of giving up - something came to me - well three things if I'm honest!!! 

I think it could be that I don't want these to end! It has been so much fun - the different challenges and it has really made me think harder about my creations! So onto todays challenge

A 'Haunting' you will go 

Haunted places, include a Haunted House in your project

Well I searched google, pintrest, even tried switching off all together and… nothing… a big blank space…. then it came to me…..

Yep I have sure been a haunting! I found this wonderful template here - its so quick and easy to do (and I printed it onto the black card grate for speed - not so good for my eyes!) But all in all I have to say I quite like what I have come up with!  I have used three of the gorgeous images from Simply B Stamps. First up we have the stunning Witchy Wednesday and the gorgeous Betty Little Munster Lady - I just adore her!!!

The sitting pretty on the end I have used the cute Little Witch Ariel.  All of them were coloured with copics and cut out with a craft knife (I finally found a craft knife! LOL) You can't see in the pictures but I also used a scalloped punch to give the effect of troof tiles on the houses - that took some time!!! 

I used a few dies with this as well - as well as I die cut from a lovely friend.  Cause I don't have a spooky tree I used the memory Box die Arboscello Tree and cut some of the leaves out to make it look spooky!!! I also used my Memory Box fence die.  They are all stuck down with silicone - so far they are still standing! 

And here it is in all its glory - well I couldn't make spooky houses and not make them light up!

This will be taking pride of place in the centre of the table tomorrow for the girls party! I can't wait to see what they all look like tomorrow and also have some people knocking at the door!!! I would like to enter this creation into the following challenges;

Stars!!

Morning! 

Christmas With A Difference

Evening! How are you all today? Well I have been nursing a poorly Nancy - she once again has croup need to see how she goes over the next few days - not what we needed!  Well I spent some time yesterday looking back at this time last year and I can't believe that in 2 days time it will be a year since I announced that we were finally moving!  Where has the last year gone?? Anyway back to what I'm here for! I am trying to squeeze in christmas cards as and where I can - well in-between my Halloween madness this year!  But I appear to have gone a bit crazy! 

Yep I am now colouring Christmas cards with green skin - it has well and truly taken over me - thats for sure! This is the strangely cute Fa-La-La-La-La Lexi Digi available along with her friends from Simply B Stamps.  Now I coloured this up a while ago - but it was SO much fun!!! 

The image was coloured with copics and the papers are all from my stash! I hope you like her 

Thanks for stopping by - hope to see you again soon

18th Butterfly

Eveing - I don't know how many times I have gone to write this post and forgotten - its quite scary! Im having one of those days where nothing is quite going right - I decided to cook a roast dinner for tea tonight and somehow after 1/2 hour into cooking the chicken realised that I didn't have enough potatoes… How I did that I do not know - I'm sure I brought potatoes when I last went shopping!  I will confess that I am shattered - did not sleep well again last night - this cough is keeping me awake so much through the night again :(

Anyway back to what I'm meant to be doing! I was asked to make a 18th Birthday card a couple of weeks ago - all the customer wanted was for the image to have blond hair and female - and so what a perfect time to grab out a Saturated Canary Image - one of my favourites - Cerridwen  - I just LOVE colouring her up

The image was coloured with copics - and the papers are all from my stash - I couldn't resist the prima butterfly in the corner - just felt it pulled the orange from the backing paper out a bit.  The die cut circle butterfly is a tonic circle die I have - I just love using it at the moment.  The 18 is just some peel offs (quite relieved I'm finally running out of them!)

Once again I am so please with the way she coloured up - I hope you like her too! I would like to enter this card to the following challenges;
