Robyn's Fetish challenge #93

Happy Sunday everyone!

Robyn's Fetish Challenge time!

This week our challenge is a recipe challenge, and is sponsored by Robyn's Fetish

The prize: 3 images from Robyn's Fetish store (winner's choice)

The recipe: use 2 papers, 1 ribbon, 1 diecut or punched item, 1 bling

Please join us this week for a fun challenge and Good luck!!

here's my project; it is a book mark!

For the overall shape, I use a punch...my 3.5" scalloped circle by MARVY-UCHIDA, I cut off both end to make it scalloped.

The image from ROBIN'S FETISH is "Bookworm" he's so cute! He is colored with PRISMACOLOR pencils. The scalloped edges of the book mark were gone over with a SHARPIE Poster Paint Pen in black. The sentiment is computer generated.

I used the hexagon punch from CREATIVE MEMORIES to make 2 books, and the circle punch from CREATIVE MEMORIES to makes the inside of the book (pages). I coated the back with 2 layers of regular Matte MOD PODGE, and the front with 2 layers of Sparkle MOD PODGE. The hole has a large eyelet in it.  I looped a piece of White polka dot on Black grosgrain ribbon, through the eyelet, as the book mark marker. I used jump rings to attach a shell (red) fancy bead as a dangle and "Bling".  I am am also thinking the sparkle MOD PODGE might be considered bling.

DAY 14- 31 Days of Halloween, Countdown to halloween, Real witches of Halloween

 My post for ALL HALLOWS GRIM, which is actually 3 posts (3 parts of a story) is below this post.

Welcome to Day 14 of the 31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN, as well as day 14 of the COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN, and Day 14 of THE REAL WITCHES OF HALLOWEEN.

Last night I watched  "The Nightmare Before Christmas". though I always liked Sally and Jack, I was never the huge fan of the movie that my kids were. Granted, I never really only watched it once all the way through. Most of the time, I would only catch bits and pieces while the kids watched it. last night I had the "Mom AHA" moment, and say the message the movie gives. I told this to my son(25) he said, "No Mom, this is Tim Burton not Aesop's fables, he doesn't teach lessons."   I told him, "You're wrong, you just don't want to admit that a movie that is kind of freaky and you love could actually be giving you a message." he went upstairs without another word, LOL!  Here is what I got out of the movie last night.
Jack wants to be Santa Claus, he wants something different than what is his life. So he puts a master plan into motion to kidnap Santa, and to be Santa and have Christmas as his holiday. Sally tried to warn him, that it wasn't meant to be, but he ignores her. With Santa tucked away (with the boogie man unbeknownst to Jack) he rides off into the night with his skeleton reindeer, coffin sleigh and ghost dog (I love the dog). The toys (which were all built by monsters and freaks) he delivered are all "evil" basically, they attack the children he gives them too.  The police are after him, they shoot him down.
Ironically he lands in a cemetery (he is a skeleton, after all and therefore dead). While he begins to lament the loss of his dream, his plan, a funny thing happens. He realizes who he IS, and who he IS is who he IS SUPPOSED TO BE, and opens the crypt and crawls home to Halloween town. He rescues Santa therefore restoring the  Holiday and the "Balance of things".


The lesson here, be who you are, because when you try to be something you're not, problems occur. Things get screwed up.
...wizard of Oz anyone???

my creation today is for "Samhain" which is now in popular America; "Halloween"
it is a true statement. Samhain (pronounced Sow in) is the "Witches or Pagan new Year"  it is the time when the veil between the living world and the underworld (dead ancestors) is thinnest, and therefore people can counsel with their relatives.

"Heart of a Witch" tag

 Digi Stamps used: Broken winged heart by SMEARED INK, Witch legs by BUGABOO STAMPS, and Witch hat by DOODLE DRAGON STUDIOS

 I used a large manila tag, the kind Tim Holtz likes.

The paper is DCWV from the midnight spells stack, I thinned out gray paint and painted a large swatch diagonally across the tag. After it dried I sanded the edge  of the whole tag. Then I glued down , this very open weave straw stuff. then a piece of yellow paper doily border. Then in spots I used Old Paper crackle paint by RANGER, and Fired Brick crackle paint by RANGER.

 The images were colored with BIC Mark its! I fussy cut the background from the legs, and glued the three pieces together, and glued it to the tag. then I used stickles by RANGER on the shoes, hat, sentiment(computer generated-Laughable font), wings and heart. The heart uses three different colors, as I put them on the different broken parts of the heart. I let the whole thing dry. Once dry I applied black Enamel accents by RANGER to the shoes and hat. Lastly I used my CROP-O-DILE to punch the hole through the paper matched up to the hole in the tag, and added a large eyelet and 6 different fibers.
