Schulentute Challenge

It's Halloween over at Bella Creations'  Celebrer la Fete group.  One of the challenges this month was to create a BOOtuten (a schulentute with a Halloween twist), so of course, I jumped right in.

Here's my first attempt.  Color me surprised with the bat theme!




I decided to branch out and choose non-traditional Halloween colors for my next BOOtuten. I have a hate/hate relationship with pink, so I found some pale pink scrapbook paper that I will never use.  I stamped it with a chandelier from a Martha Stewart set and created my own 'new' background paper.  I added some ribbon and created a exhibition ribbon (also at Celebrer la Fete) inspired embellishment. 

I did, of course, still manage to get a bat in.  :) 

Thanks for looking!

Gingersnap Challenge - Charms

Today, I am going to be a posting fool, since I haven't posted all week - work was a killer. 

I completed two Gingersnap Creations challenges - the first one closes today and is the Spicy Supply Challenge - Charms.  I've been debating on whether or not this counts, but I'm going for it anyway.

This guys is Justice from Stampers Anonymous - it's hard to tell from the picture but his robe is made up of 5 different layers, with each layer being molded along the fold lines and pleats.  I was originally just playing with different embossing powders but an ATC fell into my lap.   I'm going to make him my first post at Bella Creations in the Oh La La Group.

I found the perfectly sized cross, as well as the rusted filigree corner, in my charm supplies - it's probably something that I would have thrown away last year, but it's a great addition.  

Please enjoy and thanks for looking.
