HAPPY WOYWW everyone !!

Here's my space this week I've been a busy girl this week and you might notice that my camera is facing a different direction well we painted the floors a dark slate colour which looks so much better and it has a semi gloss which I'm loving so my room 1/2 the floor was painted then the other half so my desk is still flipped leaning up against my closet that I have no access to till we put back the carpet but we wanted to give the floors a while to really set up. It feels weird reaching the wrong way for things but it's only for a little while longer. Notice my 12 by 12 paper box is off the floor at the moment and sitting in the window ledge I didn't even realize for the longest time it was a shot gun bullet box lol.

 Close up little Lily of the Valley stamping going on with James the Bear. I only have 4 of his stamps now I'm stuck looking on eBay hoping someone will sell one used when I can.

So to share with  you this years skull I have no idea what happened or how he ended up looking like a bug more then a demon but it's Halloween there is no mistakes just gruesome fun. The DH just loves him in the dark he's pretty freaky looking

Well Happy WOYWW everyone here is my space this week still working on those Christmas cards while today I found sometime to work on the skull and boy is he looking freaky I've added on some clay to create horns and weird tendrils from his mouth Now I'm just waiting on the clay to dry it will get lighter and then I'll be able to paint him up some more. I'm also trying some to make eyes we will see how they turn out once dry and painted up.

So I will try my best to get around to as many spaces as I can 

this week

Now for Something Different

Now this isn't a normal card I would make but Why not try something different

Artistic Stamper has a challenge Patterns so I choose to make my own papers using their stamps 

I actually like this and I think it looks really Classy

The Die cut was from my sister and aged it with some more ink and added in some vintage ribbon and little bling .

Paper I made just using stamps and two different inks black and grey to create my 

patterns :)

Happy WOYWW well here's my space I was just colouring some images up for my DT and also on the right is a brick wall I'm thinking of making a tut on how to colour up. Next is how my skull is moving along he needs more colours added to him to make him more depth and more Gross lol

Next is how my skull is moving along he needs more colours added to him to make him more depth and more Gross lol he's a work in progress for sure

Lastly I got a little happy Mail for Judy now I was looking at the little faces she drew and was looking at all the details that I missed the important part of it .... IT spells my name well got a good chuckle out of that but these are some of my fave colours and it's so unique that it is now the only thing posted up on my board at the moment :)

It is that time of the week again where we show off our spaces so here is mine Yep that's a Christmas card right there in the middle I'm trying to figure out embellishment and sentiment part but I have no idea what I want lol (as par normal crafting for me) 

  I'm also working on a new HEAD for Halloween he's still in the working on stage seeing. Not painted and I'm going to maybe add in some more GROSS details before I paint him up even more gross lol.  For those of you wondering this is one of those dollar store crappy skulls they have they can look really amazing when altered up painted and sealed up the last set I made I still have to put out.  He's covered in Tissue Paper and some sort of dollar store paper clay which I really like to work with for this keeps it light. Gonna go see if they have any more. 

Yep he's pretty freaky looking right now but eventually he will look worse lol

Found a picture of my last ones made up . They needed a little touch up last year.

they where covered with paper and moss and flour and water paste 

that's my space at the moment
