Happy Halloween! Dancing Skeleton from Cherry Pie

Hallo-weeeen! I'm not really into Halloween or anything scary for that matter, but this skeleton stamp from Cherry Pie Art Stamps is just cute, don't you think? Look how happy he is!

 I helped my nephew (18) make a custom this year - well, he did most of it, 

all I did was painting this symbol on fabric for him: 

He dressed up as this character from a computer game:

Sheik is a character from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

My nephew doesn't want me to post pics of him wearing the finished costume, so you'll just have to take my word for it: It turned out great!!! I think it's really cool of an 18 year old to spend that much time making his own costume, instead of just buying one and be done with it. We had a blast sitting by the table creating together! He wore his costume for a Halloween party on Friday and will wear it again for another party next weekend.

We have bought lots of sweets in case some children from the neighbourhood come knocking on our door tonight. Hopefully there will be some sweets left for me .... (I better take a few now, just in case...).

I wish you all a very HAPPY Halloween,

or a just a regular Happy Monday :-) 

Thanks for looking!

CASology Challenge, Week #219: SPOOKY

Boo! I haven't made many Halloween cards before, but when the CASology Challenge asks me to make something, I will! That's what a challenge is, isn't it? ;-)

The gorgeous bat stamp is from Cherry Pie and the cobweb stencil is from Hero Arts. A friend gave that stencil to me last weekend, and this is the first time I use it (or part of it, anyway).

CASology Challenge, Week #218: SUPPORT

This week, I will quote the CASology Challenge blog about the theme: "October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we'd like to send out a little love and support to those whose lives have been touched by this disease is some way!"

Thank you for supporting such an important cause, CASology! Here's to all the women who are fighting that awful desease right now, and to all of you who have and made it through:

 I coloured her bra in a brighter pink than the shorts, to give the area in question more focus.

There is a bling gemstone (aka diamond) attached to the ribbon,

and I added some glitter to her supporting bra:

CASology Challenge, Week #214: BEACH - 2nd entry

Hello there! Welcome to my brand new blog! I've been joining the CASology challenge several times since June, but this is the first time I enter from my own, personal blog. My previous entries have been on my stamp company's blog, using nothing but stamps from that line. Which is fine, but I have been a stamper for decades and have a huge collection of stamps from other companies, and it's a pity that I never use them anymore! So, here we go ... my very own blog, where I can do whatever I want to ;-)

OK, long intro there - here's my 2nd entry for this week's cue word at CASology, BEACH:

I stamped the grassy sand dune (Cherry Pie) on watercolour paper and coloured it in with a waterbrush, using two hues of yellow ink for the sand and two greens for the grass. The shells and sentiment (Rubber Dance) were stamped with brown and yellow ink and adhered to the card with foam tape to pop them up a bit. I added a bit of blue ink to the sky for balance.

Thanks for visiting!
