Pin It



Hello!!
I hope your Weekend was  AMAZING!!?? Mine was FAST!! We had LOTS going on and it has been chilly and raining so most of our outside activities were interestingly not ruined!!?? It was actually nice to see the rain and we were able to keep warm by bundling up and then got to break out the Hot Chocolate!! =) We celebrated my Grandma's 80th Birthday today too which isn't officially until tomorrow, but it was SO AWESOME to get to see most of my Cousins and their Families and then I'd have to say I'm probably one of the LUCKIST because I was also BLESSED with the MOST AMAZING Aunts and Uncles!! =) My dad has all Brothers and they all married AMAZING Woman and I TRULY LOVE them!! I'm really close to a COUPLE of them my Aunt Cindy who is my God Mother and has ALWAYS been SURPER Special to me and then my Aunt Kerry who OMG if only there were a THOUSAND of her the world would be a BETTER Place!! LOL!! I spent most of my day talking to her and I just LOVE her!! She has 6 girls with my Uncle Steve and these girls are ALL so BEAUTIFUL inside and out!! =) I LOVE my FAMILY!! We have a couple NEW Babies in the family and then my sister Kylee is due again in January so we will be growing again by one more!! =) SO EXCITED!! Seems like the babies are always passed around and held by everyone so needless to say I got my baby fix for the week!! =)

Anyway, I wanted to stop in a share a Picture of the
SWEETEST Little Witch Pumpkin Mason Jar that you have EVER seen!! =)  LOL~I may be just alittle bit bias!! =) I saw the AWESOME New Make It Monday Challenge over on the Paper Trey Ink Blog and I just had to Play along!! =) The UBER Talented and Equally SWEET Melissa Phillips was the host this week and I just LOVE her Project that she shared!! She made an AWESOME video you can watch over on the PTI Blog if your interested!! =) It took me ALL Week to get it done though with my Left Hand and then ALL of my follow up apt.'s I had all week but I'm SO in LOVE with how it turned out and I hope you LOVE it too!! So here is what I've made for the
Make It Monday #182: Mason Jar Stamping Challenge!! I was Inspired by these Pumpkin Pictures that I came across on Pinterest!! =)

    
    
   

I started by painting my Mason Jar using some Mathra Stewart White and Fog Satin Acrylic Paint!! I had to paint two coats to get the coverage I wanted and I actually wanted some texture beings I was wanting to look like a White Pumpkin (my FAVORITE)!! I then sanded the edges to make it look distressed and then I took the PTI Polka Dot Basics Stamp Set and stamped the Little Dots in Versa Mark Ink and then added my WOW Gold Glitter Embossing Powder too and I LOVE the Gold Polka Dots on the White Pumpkin Mason Jar Base!! I then took the PTI Shape Up Series:  Pumpkin die and die cut the Nose and the Mouth from some Black Felt for my Pumpkins Face (I had to cut down the mouth alittle bit to make it fit the scale of my Jar better though) I decided to use Buttons for my eyes after I found these Black Oval Buttons with Bling around the edges at Hobby Lobby this week in the Clearance bin for 25 cents WHOOP WHOOP talk about a score!! =) I think I cleaned out almost the ENTIRE bin and I think the lady checking my out on Wednesday was like WOW what are you going to do with ALL of these Buttons!!?? I told her I crafted with them and I don't think she got it, but I LOVE them and I can't wait to share them in my up coming projects!! =) Then I wanted to make a Hat for my Witch Pumpkin and after looking through my PTI Dies, I  decided on the PTI-Tissue Paper Favors #1 Die and I had to trim it down just alittle and then I folded up the edges for the Brim of the Hat!! I added some Gold Glitter Tissue Tape from My Mind's Eye and then a Sweet Little Prima Printed Flower that I added some Paint and Ink to Distress it some and then I added a different Gold Button to the Center!! (yep you guessed it another 25 cent find) =)  I wanted to make a Junk Bow too so I used  some Cream Tulle Ribbon for my Wrap Ribbon and several different Ribbons for my Bow!! I die Cut a PTI Tremendous Tags Die Set and then Stamped my Pumpkin from the PTI Halloween Treats & Sweets Stamp Set!! I Colored my Pumpkin in and then Stamped the Boo Sentiment from the PTI Mr. Bones  Stamp Set in Versa Mark Ink and then added my WOW Gold Glitter Embossing Powder!! I then took the same Circle Stamp and Stamped some Circles on the Tag in Versa Mark and then added some WOW Clear Matt Dull Regular Embossing Powder for a FUN textured look without the Shine!! I mask off the Pumpkin Image though because I didn't want it covered!! I LOVE how it turned out!!
I'm also entering this into the WOW Embossing Powder Challenge which was to use the same stamp in a Different Way over on the WOW Blog!! =)



THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today and I hope you have a FABULOUS WEEK!! =)

Pin It

Hello!!
Are you Enjoying the Newton's Nook Designs September Release so far!!?? I know I am!! =)
Today we are showcasing the New Stamp Set "Spooky Street"!!

 

This is going to be such a FUN Set for creating all sorts of scenes with!!
I thought it would be AWESOME to use it for a FUN Home Décor Project!! I wanted to create a Neat Halloween Framed Piece of Art and I LOVE the way it turned out!! I started by stamping the Haunted House Image using some Versa Fine Black Ink and then I Embossed it real quick using some Judikins Sticky Stuff Embossing Powder!! I heat set it and added some Stampendous Super Fine Black Glitter!! LOVE IT!! I then stamped and Embossed two of the Haunted Tree Images with Clear Embossing Powder over my Versa Fine Black Ink!! Then I stamped one more Haunted Tree Image only this time I stamped the Second Generation stamp off in the background to give the piece some depth!! Then I stamped that Sweet Owl Image with Versa Mark and I wanted to use some Ranger Black Puffy Embossing Powder!! This is some COOL Stuff!! In real life it looks like the Owl has Feathers!! =) Then I stamped 3 of the Bat Images just in plain Versa Fine Black Ink!! I wanted to create a Glow-In-The Dark Night Sky so I stamped the Moon Image in some Mama Elephant Yellow Ink and then stamped over it using some Versa Mark Ink and then added some Judikins Sticky Stuff Embossing Powder heat set it then sprinkled it with some Martha Stewart Glow-In-The-Dark Glitter!! This looks SO NEAT in the Dark!! =) I then added the Spooky Eye Images and I knew I wanted them to look like they were really Glowing in the Dark so I used some White Embossing Powder and then added some Glue Pen to the Eye Ball areas and added some Green Glitter for a Scary Effect!! =) LOVE IT!! I decided to add some Orange Glitter to the Owl's Eyes too!! I wanted to create a distinctive Ground and Foreground so I used my Paper Smooches Stitching Dies to add some Die Cut Stitched Lines and I LOVE the Dimension it adds without extra bulk!! Then I went in and added my Distress Ink using Fresh Squeezed Lemonade, Wild Honey, Spring Moss, Pumice Stone, Walnut Stain and Black Soot to add LIFE to the Background!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the way it turned out and I want to create another one only this time make it a Grave Stone Scene!! =) I found this PERFECT Frame at Hobby Lobby for $7.00 (at Half Off~Score) and added some Distress Ink to make the Details Pop and then I Painted a Silver Stampin' Up Name Plate with some Martha Stewart Glossy Black Paint and once it was dry I scratched away parts of the Paint to give it a Distressed look!! I then stamped and Embossed the Sentiment using Clear Embossing Powder over Black Versa Fine Ink and added alittle Distress Ink and Glued it to the front of the Frame!! I LOVE how it turned out and I can't wait to create another one and display them for the Halloween Season!!

I wanted to share a Video too so you could get a REAL Life look at just How FUN this turned out!!
Gotta LOVE Greyson (my 19month old) at the end of the video saying UUHHOO!! =) He LOVES to look at this and says uuhhoo to those eyes!! So FUN for little minds to look at and ENJOY!!
