Laura Rumble - Crafter

Hello again, Laura here with the second layout using one of my new designs available from Pretty My Page .  Today I’m sharing a layout using Wonky Halloween. I was thinking about Lisa-Jane aka Mrs Pretty My Page while designing this file.  I don’t really do Halloween but I know LJ does.    I’ve used a selection of scraps from my stash to back the file; orange honeycomb paper for the pumpkins, charcoal metallic paper for the cauldrons, kraft for the broomsticks and white tissue paper for the ghosts.  The green paper is a mixed media experiment using brusho which I thought looked a bit magic potion-y and made the perfect filling for the cauldrons. I cut the file on black card and popped it up on foam adhesive on a slate grey cardstock background.  Here’s the video: You can download the cut file here or purchase it pre-cut on white, cream or black card here . Again, I’ll be back tomorrow using the last of the new ...

As part of my Secret Santa gifts I wanted to include something hand made.  I knew my lady loves bats so I set about making a ribbon bat.  I used 25mm black grosgrain for the body.  I painted the back edge of the wing ribbon with matte medium so I could cut to a scalloped edge without causing any fraying. For the body of the bat I used 10mm grosgrain and super strong double sided tape.  A couple of dark grey swarovski crystals for eyes and a deep V cut to represent the ears... and I added a plain hair grip (bobby pin) et viola! I'd love to hear what you think!

Yesterday I did not feel like creating.  Today I did.  So I sat down, my dictionary, a 2B and me.  This is what happened... To me it looks like a legless pig with wings :D For a while I didn't think I'd get this drawn and entered I time but here it is for the Craft Barn's Alpha Challenge. Thanks for stopping by :)
