Hi there! I was inspired to make another project for KennyK Stamps' 31 Days of Halloween! I remember the days when I used to blog every day of October.... It was a whirlwind of Halloween crazy! Can I do it again? Probably not. But I'm already ahead of last year's posts which were, um, zero!
Our theme this week is Sentiments and I decided instead of a card that I wanted to make an altered item. I took a chalkboard I bought from Target's Dollar Spot (that little section jammed packed with seasonal merchandise when you first walk in the door) and turned it into a decoration for my favorite holiday.
I colored up Book of Spells and fussy cut her. The rest was done with dies, flowers, and a piece of white chalk. The flourish is a Magnolia Doo-hickey. Pumpkins, Spiderweb Corner, Spiderweb, and Large Lacy Border are all from La-La-Land Crafts. The Crescent Moon and Mini Apothecary Bottles are Tim Holtz (Sizzix). And the witch's hat and cauldron come from a set called Witches' Brew Shapeabilities (Spellbinders). A quote from my favorite Halloween movie completes the project!
Join us over at Club KennyK all month long for all the festivities! All Halloween digis are on sale too! Want the code? Visit the Club on Facebook! You'll find us HERE!

Hello! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! I was very busy conjuring up some crafty magic and so now I'm here to share that project I hinted at yesterday. I've been working on it for three days, but the minute I saw Incantation, this adorable witch image from The Paper Shelter, I started the planning! Halloween will be here before we know it, after all! I happened to see on their Facebook page that The Paper Shelter was having a design team call. I'm completely smitten with these gorgeous images so there was no way I could not apply! Visit their shop HERE and you'll see what I mean!
My project is an altered photo tray turned shadow box. The actual tray was purchased at Michaels. It's from their Recollections line. I printed Incantation larger than I normally would have for a card and colored her with Copics. I fussy cut her, and let me tell you, that was no easy feat! Her hair was a little tricky, and I may have inadvertently given her a trim! She's so cute, though, that even with a bad hair cut she still looks amazing! I did my happy dance as I pulled out Halloween papers, stamps, and embellishments! I'll give you the complete list below for anyone who might be curious, but trust me when I say I used A LOT of stuff! My desk was buried for a while there! I had so much fun creating this, and she will be proudly displayed in my home this Halloween (and maybe even year round)! Here are some close ups so you can see the detail.
