A little book I made for Etsy

I think this is my first Etsy post!
I made this little paperbag album out of a paper kit I had hidden in my craft room. I discovered it when I unpacked! yay!

I have no clue why it turned sideways.. I've edited it three times! seriously.  I give up!

ha

but you get the idea..

I hope to get a couple more done soon. along with some little goodies and kits.. who knows.. I have a ton of stuff to go through and purge.. so check out my shop.. you never know what I'll find :)

my shop

something cute and random

I picked up a couple little mini composition books in the school supply area..
I figured they would be fun to alter..
and they were.
so fast!
I used tissue paper and then decoupaged it down.. added a ribbon for a bookmark..
taa-daa!

I have so many things sitting on my shelf waiting for me to play with them. I just need more time!

I hope to do a little at a time and share :)

Alice

I am not sure if you know this, but I completely love love love Alice in Wonderland. Everything about it!
any chance I get to make something related to it, I am there baby!

I found this blog and LOVE it!
I had to enter this challenge..
week-4-chapter-11-stripes

the challenge was to use stripes..
so I grabbed my new Scraps of Darkness Escape kit and played along

I used an actual page from my Alice in Wonderland book..
some more lil embellies and some inking..

A star for my mom

I had to play along with a couple challenges this weekend..
Alice In Wonderland is my all time favorite ever... see tattoo posts on my other blog ;)

I have an old Alice in Wonderland book I picked up at the local bookstore.. so I can use the pages in my crafting..

I made some paper flowers with a couple of the pages.. added my mama (this pic was her last birthday) to one along with some mesh to make it pop
I added some lace and flowers to the other..
this was a little "stacking star box" that I've had sitting on my shelf for a couple years.. I have two more I am ready to alter now :)

text as nonsense challenge

I used a couple Graphic 45 papers to enter their challenge also. It all just seemed to go together for me..
I used the domestic goddess and a proper gentleman papers.. I absolutely adore my Graphic 45 papers. It is so hard for me to cut them up.. I have a stash..
But I took a deep breath and cut into em.. and now, I can't wait to dig in for more!!

I covered the top, inside, and bottom of the star and then added to the big flower with the Graphic 45 papers..
they are having a vote on Facebook.. so make sure you vote for me!
I'll add a link when it's up..

fall/Halloween rejuvenation challenge

alter for mom and dad

I made this alter for my mom and dad to help with the upcoming 31 days of Halloween.. but just couldn't wait to share.. aaaand the perfect challenge on smeared and smudged was to use papertowls or tp rolls..
so...

I grabbed a papertowl roll, cut it in half and painted it.




painted some lil white candles black.. stamped a grumpy for my dad and goddess for my mom, added some gems

I colored and stickled my calaveras sugar skulls (I am in love with these btw) from smeared ink



added some gems and bling..

then the best part (for me)



I rounded up some herbs from my (witchy) stash.. the list is:
Lavendar, wormwood, marjoram, white sage, spearmint, senna,
mullien, red clover, rosemary, wood betony..
 they are all for love, protection, courage, divination...etc..

sprinkled them around.. added some dried and silk flowers.. finished it off with incense

taa-daa.. an alter for my mom and dad :)
