Fright Night - Hour 1

Hour 1 is officially under way! And I am so excited about this evening.

We have some fabulous freebies that we will be giving away during the evening. And we will have lots of prize winners each hour! During hour 1 we will be playing an A to Z Halloween word game. A random winner will be chosen and will receive a free image from www.shellysimages.com. We also have a really fun freebie drawn by Taylor. I know you will love it! And be sure to chat with us along the way. We will have some random winners throughout the evening just from the Comment Area.

TTT for this week

Let's play a new game this week!

I'm ready do some playing again. How about you???

The weather over here is real autumn. Wet and Windy.

The leaves on the trees are starting to color to yellow and red.

A beautiful sight when the sun shines on them…

But in a few weeks the trees are empty and nature is preparing itself for winter.

My card this week for this challenge is inspired on what I see outside and I added TAGS to it. So this weeks challenge is going to about TAGS.

I used the airbrush and a screen to make the background of this card. I used different colors of brown and green.

The image is called:  Nuts about you

Next to that I made two tags and used two of Shelly’s Freebies on them.

The Acorn, the Maple leaf and the Oak leaf.

You can find those lovely freebies HERE.

I hope you will join us in this great challenge and make sure to check out all the great images in Shelly’s Images STORE and show us your fabulous and creative cards, layouts or projects!

With love

Fab Follower of the Week!

Happy Survivor Wednesday - oops, I mean Happy Fab Follower Day!  :)

Shelly and I are big Survivor fans and so happy that this season of survivor has started (even if they've confused us and changed the day from Thursday to Wednesday).

Today we want to celebrate our First Fall Fab Follower of the Week -

Drum Roll Please -

April of April's Alley

If you haven't taken a stroll through April's blog, you really should.  I just LOVE all her FALL like themed projects and she has one of the neatest card folds I've seen lately. 

Definitely going to have to figure that one out for myself! 

Thanks so much for your inspiration and creativity April! 

We're so happy to have you as Our Fab Follower of the Week!

Hugs!

Happy Technique Tuesday

Happy Tuesday all!  I've got a little Penny Pinching Technique for you. 

I don't know about you, but it never seems to fail - I need something for a layout or card and it just so happens to be the totally WRONG color. 

And while it would be fabulous to be able to purchase something in every color I think I'd ever need, I have lots of items that with a little modification, it works just perfect.

For instance - I have all these great borders, unfortunately they're all bazzill ORANGE.  Great if I want an orange border, not so great if I need something other than ORANGE.

Well, the nice thing is with a little paint or ink - you can make it ANY color you want!

Just like I did here.

If you can do this with borders, imagine what else you can do it with and not spend a dime!

That's our little Penny Pinching Technique for this Tuesday!

Give it a try!

Hugs!

Marvelous Monday

Have a Witchy Marvelous Monday!

Here's another monday... 

Days a flying by. I'm running around preparing things... go to the hospital and make cards for the blogs. And suddenly I realize that the evenings are there early... and that we are approching October already. Before you know it Halloween and thanksgiving are close by!

I'm so glad that Shelly's Images has her Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas images ready to work with. That keeps me on track with the hectic days.

Today we would love to put a spotlight on this wonderful and sweet image that is called:

Good witch

Now is this little girl sweet or what? I had a great time coloring her...

but was in trouble cause we don't have halloween papers over here in The Netherlands.

I am so lucky that I have an Airbrush on loan so I could make my own background papers.

Here's a Good Witch from Min who LOVES to celebrate Halloween :)

And this fabulous card is made by Scrappy

And I overlooked the card from Sammi,

I apologize to you for this.  Here is the fabulous and wonderful card she made!

Hope you will go to the store and see what more fabulous halloween images Shelly has ready for you in THE STORE

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to enter our great challenge!
