Masked Beauties

Isn't this the best theme for an atc swap?

Kimberly at

ArtJoyStuff

is our hostess.

I wasn't able to capture all the detail...

liquid pearl accents, black glitter tulle

but she really is a Halloween beauty.

 

In honor of Kimberly's swap

here are some masked images for you to enjoy...

as we celebrate another

Haunted Hump Day!

 



ATC's and Twinchies and Freebies, Oh My!

Happy

Haunted Hump Day!

I'm participating in three (so far!)

Halloween atc swaps this season.

I'll share what I've come up with so far.

 This very vintage and beautiful witch

has her dance card in hand,

ready for the Halloween ball.

I adore the vintage German calendar background.

I have a wonderful set of these calendars

that I purchased from Valerie at

My Digital Daydream.

 Isn't she a sweetie?

I'm sorry but in my book, wings and pointy hats never go out of style.

I wish this one photographed better.

It really has a lot of pretty detail that I wasn't

able to capture.

      (Opening the pictures by clicking on them does help though.)  

 

I'm not hosting an atc swap this Halloween

but we are doing twinchies over in my

flickr swap group.

 

I can't end a hump day post

without leaving

a few image freebies for you.

Until next time....

 

 

 



Thanks for the Great (Broom) Ride!

Well my dear Halloweenphile friends,

another magical season is nearing an end  

but not without

thanks to the many talented bloggers and swappers

who made it so much fun! 

  

My feather tree

is decked out with handmade

ornaments and tags

of Halloweens' past and present.

I love each and every one you were kind

enough to share with me.

That fabulous coffin to the left of the tree

was made by

Melanie

for a swap in the

Marie Antoinette Mail Art Group.

 

Also received in MAMA swaps this year

is the

beautiful bat winged young witch spoolie

made for me by sweet

Marti

&

the amazingly detailed tin

created by

my talented friend

Debi.

 

No Halloween would be complete

without an altered matchbox swap and

Lorraine

is a partner who never fails to delight.

Aren't the box and

Halloween tophat divine?

 

And of course huge Halloween hugs

to the many bloggers who

hosted

parties, challenges and swaps.

 Links to their blogs

 can be found at the top of my sidebar...

it's not too late to visit!

 

Our Queen of Halloween this year?

That wonderfully wicked

hostess of 

Marfi.

Thanks for keeping the festivities going all month long!

Happy Halloween friends!

7 More Days.....

I must admit to feeling a little sad when it gets this close.

Creating for the Halloween season

is just so much fun!

It's difficult to pack it all away for another year.

 

I hosted our 3rd annual

 Halloween Matchbox Swap

in my flickr group

and as usual am blown away

by the talented members.

If you want to partake in some

really creative and diverse

Halloween eye candy,

you can visit

HERE.

 

This is the box I altered for my partner...

 and these are a few of the goodies I sent along with it.



 

We did an altered Altoids tin swap in the

Marie Antoinette Mail Art Group.

My contribution is this witchy winged Marie

riding in her Halloween coach.

I really do need to invest in a new camera

(or possibly photography lessons!)

as I'm always somewhat disappointed with the detail

I'm not capturing in these pieces.

 

Here are a couple of vintage postcards to

add to your Halloween image

collections.

In closing this post

I must give kudos to the

Mistress of Halloween,

Marfi

for hosting

You've inspired us all

to embrace the season!



Boo!

My spoolie doll

swapped in the

Marie Antoinette Mail Art Group.

 

In celebration of another

Haunted Humpday

here's a few fun vintage images for you!

 



Lovin' Those Pumpkinheads!

I don't know what it is about them but I've always been
attracted to images of people with pumpkinheads....
one of my all-time favorite Halloween themes.

So for the

Trio of Tombstones Swap

in the

Marie Antoinette Mail Art Group

I went a bit off the beaten path with these non-Marie,

non-French tombstones.

The tombstones are completely covered in mica flakes

and embellished with glittered webs and spiders.

I then created my own little

pumpkin headed bat girls

with their RIP pumpkins.

 

If you'd like to see what other

Halloweenphile bloggers are doing

to celebrate the season,

check out the top of my sidebar

for links to Halloween events.

My friend Kim

is hosting an especially interesting

and very creepy-cool

Halloween doll challenge

at

Tabitha Lenox.

 

This is a doll I won in Kim's giveaway

last Halloween.

And her amazing dolls have only gotten

creepier and cooler since!

 

The freebie images I have for you this week

are honoring, what else?

Pumpkinheads!!!

 

And my VERY favorite......

 

Thanks to Marfi at

Incipient Wings

for another wonderful

Haunted Humpday!

 

Pretty Little Witches

Happy Haunted Humpday!

My friend Kimberly hosts the best swaps at

ArtJoyStuff

and who can resist the theme

pretty little witches?

Well I certainly couldn't!

 

We're swapping atc's and

this sweet little witch was my first...

After playing with several images

I decided I liked this particular little witch

so much...

that I created a coven!

 

That adorable kitty image

is from one of my all-time fav

Halloween collage sheets from one

of my all-time fav etsy sellers,

Altered Artifacts.

 

Now, how about some skelly images for the Haunted Humpday freebies...
