Tonight I've got the last of my Art Shares! Well, I had an additional one, but I had made one similar and had posted it before HERE ... it was for Suzanne . She has a couple of boys and lives in Florida, so I thought it was totally her :) Hope you like it, Suzanne!! I made these Halloweenie Boo Birdhouses for Bren . She is my downline from Wichita and she said to just surprise her with something... muhuhuwahh ahh ahh ahh aaaaaaahhhh! `:) What was she getting herself into?! I LOVE THESE ... and I almost wanted to start another project and keep these for myself. But, no no no... I was good and gave them away :) Me... good... ha ha ha... no comments from the peanut gallery... {cough... CINDY ... cough} Anyway, I had these envisioned stuck in a plant centerpiece... mossy and dark. Or, if you want to go the fun route, in a big bowl of candy corn :) I'm sorry to say that there isn't ANY product from TAC on this project... that's a first in a LONG time for me! But ...

Finally! Here it is... the Halloween Angel Art Challenge ! I decided to create these little Goblin Sweet Pails to give to a choice few on Halloween night to the kids with the best costumes! I'll put candy in the ones I give out, but for today's purposes, I just used marbles to hold up the 'Spooky' pick. I had purchased these little pails from the Target $1 spot a year or two ago and finally used them!! Goblin Sweet Pails supply list: Stamps: Glitter Goblins, Fresh Air Favorites Paper: Bazzill Basics and misc. eggplant & black cardstocks Inks: Noir & Landscape Palettes Other: hydra sponge, May Arts ribbon, black crochet thread, natural jute, large silver eyelets, wooden skewers Using Landscape Palette, I stamped an image from FAF on the upper left & lower right portions of the tag. It looks like a greenish charcoal color in real life due to the base being rusty orange. After punching the scallop, I wadded it up and tore portions for effect... I also d...

This month, it was my turn to teach a make-n-take for the Gardner Stamp Club that meets at the library. Patti wanted to do the Fold Over Treat Envelope that is in the back of the TAC catty [though she doesn't remember saying that... silly Patti!], so I chose to do a Christmas version. It's a wonderful little project that I'll be sharing with you in another post , but I needed the back-story for this post. [can I get any wordier?... like you care about the back-story...] Anyhoo, the treat envie only uses the top portion of a lunch sack, so I had a ton of these 'bag butts' left over and they really wanted to become something wonderful. [wouldn't you want to if you were referred to as a butt?] ... I digress... Here's how I created my Boo Tri-fold Bag Card : I lightly stippled Burnt Umber Palette ink around all of the edges and distressed the edges of the cardstock & DP (except for the inside piece, which I fixed on another one that I made!). I also st...
