A little Mayhem!

Happy World Card Making Weekend! I know it was a day. But man all those blog hops turned into day(s)! They were fun though and I got a ton of inspiration and saw so many new images. It was fantastic! This big blog hop at CDAC turned me onto several new artists, or at least new to me, that I had no idea were out there! Can't wait to get some free time to check those out more closely.

Here's my post for today. It's Simply Betty's "Tootsi". I got a scrap pack of papers from My Sheri Crafts and they had these great ones in it. You get to try out all the new papers for only a couple dollars, great deal. I followed the sketch at Midnight Madness. It's definitely not as "vintagey" as all the DT cards over there but still just as much fun.

Challenges entered:

Midnight Madness - Sketch

Macabre Monday - Magical Mayhem

I believe I still have one blog hop to finish. Fingers crossed I make it to the end tonight - LOL

Also, keep a watch out for the new Hodge Podge Challenges starting this week on Thursday, Oct. 7. I have a card done, but you'll have to wait till then to see it.

Happy Sunday!

Welcome Devilish Donna!

I am enjoying these Kenny K images SOOOOOOO much! They're so full of energy and fun. Who wouldn't get a smile on their face after receiving a card with one of these "nasty" girls on it - LOL (I don't mean to offend anyone.) I made this card up for several challenges going on this week. (See below) I used "Devilish Donna", I thought she would be perfect for several of the challenges requiring wings. Everything on my card is from my May Kit from Swirlydoos. I even used the shimmerz (first time) on her wings to bling them up a bit. I added the feather for a little something extra behind the image. I think it finished it off good. I used the scraps I cut off the bottom to decorate the inside of the card. The colors in the picture are a little off. My camera didn't take a very good picture. It's that Devilish Donna at it again! You know who you are!!

Simon Says Stamp wanted you to design your card around a song. For some reason I couldn't get "Barracuda", Pat Benatar out of my head, not quite what you would expect but you'd have to be in my head to understand my thinking!

I've been really into vampire's lately. I just finished the Anita Blake series, by Laurell K. Hamilton and now I'm trying to find something else to move onto. Any suggestions let me know!

Thank you so much for stopping by. I appreciate you taking the time to do it and leave me a comment. Happy Thursday night or Friday morning, whichever it is for you!

Hugs - Jen

Sissy Ms. Witchy

Here's my take on a fun halloweeny card. I followed several challenges to bring it all together, listed at the bottom of this post. I used StampIt Crazy's image "Sissy". I was going to enter their challenge but I thought I had through today and they actually closed it last night. Oh well. I still love her and decided to finish her anyway. I wanted to enter Macabre Monday also but didn't have a spider so I took a pice of my spider felt border and cut one out of it. Then I attached two jewels for the head and body. I think it works. I used my notebook punch from Martha Stewart for Makeup for the weekend challenge. The paper is DCWV, of course. And I follwed the sketch from Midnight Madness, just love them. This is gettin me in the holiday spirit. I just did some research on some exploding boxes I'm going to attemp soon.

Well, I'm off. Gotta go pick some more tomatoes.. Argh, that means canning again soon. Oh well, it sure pays off during the year. Have a wonderful Wednesday and if I'm lucky I might just have one more post today.

Hugs - Jen
