Halloween Tags ( for a swap)

 I was recently in a Halloween Tag swap, and decided to share my creations with my bloggy friends!

These are the BIG tags, 3 1/4" X 6 1/8"...we did NOT have to put a hole in them or add strings, ribbons etc.  It was optional, so I OPTED not to.  To give the receiver the opportunity to use the tags how ever they chose. It was a 6/6 swap, but I made one for the hostess and 2 for me.  ALL the tags have areas that glow in the dark!

Robyn's Fetish --challenge #127- Stitching, real or faux

Happy Kinda Sunny Sunday!  I have had a rough few days with my own pain, but a NICE visit with my mom. I went up and stayed overnight with her her 2nd night after breast surgery, and helped her shower the next day, took over her outer bandage and all. I am SO happy and proud that she changed her mind and had the mass removed. They aren't going to do anything else, and she sees the breast doc in 2weeks.  Mom turned 86 on the 21rst, she looks great and her incision looks great!!  Hubby will hopefully be starting PT and OT this week. I am SO happy and proud of him also for getting the brace, and it is helping immensely!
Once again, Thank you to all of you that sent well wishes etc!
****************************************************************

Now onto the card for this week  over at ROBYN'S FETISH challenge blog
we were to use some stitching , real or faux...I had to go with faux...I still am in need of a working machine, and my hands were not in a place to do hand stitching this week (which was my original plan)

Our Sponsor is
BUGABOO STAMPS
the winner will receive a $21 voucher to the store! WOW!!

I used Sunbonnet Thimble (sewsun)

Card stock for the card itself, ribbon and the markers are all STAMPIN' UP. The textured, slightly shiny card stock is  older and by MRS. GROSSMAN, The striped paper is new by MY MIND'S EYE. I used Stickles by RANGER on the needle and pins. The glitter buttons were rec'd as a RAK and the package says MICHAEL'S. I used decorative scissors to cut the image, sentiment and card stock. my tiny paper piercer to makes the holes all around the image, across the top and bottom of sentiment, and in the corners. I used my SAKURA Glaze pen in black for my stitching. Running stitch, hand stitch, and cross stitch.

another page to my mini dark journal

I haven't worked on this in ages...I had started the bkgd. and knew what I wanted to do with it, but hadn't acted on it. Today I finally did.  Those of you who have been around a while might remember I am doing 2 of these in this size, one to reflect me in my dark times and one for my happy times.
The pages are all 4 x 6, and most have something that hangs over the edge(side edge)  not all pages but most.

Days 1,2,&3 of the "12 days of Halloween" at Simply Betty Stamps

Due to all of my commitments,
"The 12 Days of Halloween" at Simply Betty Stamps 
will be done in segments. Here is day 1, 2 and 3

 Day 1- "An Owl in an Oak Tree"...I actually have a flock of owls, but I highlighted ONE with the moon.

the over-all picture is from the Wise Owl Collage sheet from ARTchix STUDIOS. The circle stamp is from STAMPIN' UP, and the gravestones Stamp is from ALPHA STAMPS. I used Staz-on ink, as this paper is glossy. I plan to make all of the "days" 4 X 4's and then use my BIND-IT-ALL to make a little book. I finished it off with 5 holes, with eyelets and yarns. (I used my CROP-O-DILE) The backs are all blank for now, but I will be doing something with them.

 Day 2-"2 Trick or Treaters", all 3 stamps are by STAMPIN' UP, the spider web paper is by HOT OFF THE PRESS (thanks to a friend) I used Crystal Effects by STAMPIN' UP on the spider, BicMark Its! for coloring and Black sequences down the side from MAKING MEMORIES.

 Day 3- "3 Black Cats"  The large Cat is by STAMPIN' UP, the other 2 are $1 stamps from MICHAEL'S, Colored with BIC Mark Its!, the Background paper (foiled) from MY MINDS EYE, I used my CROP-O-DILE to make one hole, 1 eyelet, and 3 fibers. I showed 2 images so you can see the foil.

Thanks for visiting, I hope you like my interpretation of the "12 days of Halloween"
