31 Days of Halloween - Day 22

 Day 22, and I am rocking the matching tail today.  I thought to myself, "Edgar, you are one HOT raven.  You should be working the multiple tail look and going all matchy matchy."  There may be a follow up discussion, but for now, I think I am pretty smart. 

This image is one by Teresa Sherman and Alex has always enjoyed it.  The bat hair adornment and skull belly button jewel just make this complete. 

Happy Halloween!

31 Days of Halloween - Day 21

 Welcome to day 21.  Only 10 more days until 30 Days of Halloween is over and Halloween is actually here!  I am excited, and a bit sad.  I know that Alex will be locking me up in that cage again.  Thank you all for the compliments on my pink yumminess.  I know I am irresistible regardless, but it is nice to know that now I am super irresistible.  I have a few more looks to try before the end so I guess I better get busy!

This lovely tag is Alex's latest offering for 31 Days.  Not only does she love the scene, but the witch flying through the sky is her favorite part.  I am pretty certain this is an image she will ink up more than once.

Happy Halloween!

31 Days of Halloween - Day 20

 Welcome to Day 20!!  As requested by some of my adoring fans, I am sporting a pink tail.  There was much arguing discussion here as to what color pink, so the multi look won out.  Pretty hot don't you think?

 Unfortunately, we had a few struggles in wardrobe, but I think it has all been resolved for now.

Today I get to share a card Alex made using the image Salting Slugs by Terra Bidlespacher for Sweet Pea Stamps.  Once again, I heard the cackling as Alex grabbed the drippy goo punch to go with slugs.  That woman is a bit.....off.
Speaking of Sweet Pea Stamps, they are having a sale, big one, huge!  Through Monday, October 22 you get a $6 store voucher when you purchase 10 digi stamps.  There is also 30% off all rubber stamps (Alex's favorite) AND grab bags (no additional discount).   You should check it out when you finishing visiting all of the Wicked Bloggers. 

Happy Halloween

31 Days of Halloween - Day 19

 Hello all you Horrifying Hoppers!  How are you on this fine Friday?  Me, FABULOUS.  I know you are thrilled to hear it and wondering why.  Well, Alex is slowly returning to her crazy normal self so I can go back to doing all the things I do best and not deal with worry about her.

Today Alex has me sharing a tag she put together using a stamp with a very handsome raven on it.  Personally, I am having a case of hat and tail envy, but will get over it, even if it means I need to go shopping.  I would tell you who this stamp is by, but Alex can't remember (big surprise there, not!) and I am not going to fly over and look at the moment.  Perhaps later and then I will edit this if I do.  The background and image are done using distress inks and a sponge or the Tim Holtz water brush.  I know that Alex has fallen in love with this brush and the way she can control the water amounts.  You are just lucky you don't have to hear the actually swooning, I can just tell you about it.

Happy Halloween!
Edgar

31 Days of Halloween - Day 18

Oh do I have a treat for you today!!!!  I get to share a gorgeous new image by Joanne Schempp for Sweet Pea Stamps called Precious Advice.

Didn't Alex do a lovely job with it?  If you look closely, Alex colored the clothing a bit differently than the artist, but I told her not to worry, it works just fine.  What do you think?  Great news too, this is one of the newly available digi stamps at Sweet Pea Stamps - be certain to check them all out!

Happy Halloween!

31 Days of Halloween - Day 17

Welcome all to Day 17.  This might not seem like a very big deal, but it is.  Today is the day that the Bombshell Ms October challenge is set forth and Alex is Ms. October!

The challenge for this month is to Bling up your Bombshell in Halloween color bling, so black, orange, purple and green.  Alex used the Bombshell Sugar Skulls set and stickles.  Lots and lots of stickles.  She is particularly proud of the gold teeth.

Gotta run and take care of the sickie here.  Hoping she is up to speed tomorrow because this being nice thing is a bit difficult and wearing thin.

Happy Halloween!
Edgar

31 Days of Halloween - Day 16

Hello everyone!  Short and sweet today.  Alex is a bit under the weather and I need to care for her (but don't tell anyone, you'll ruin my bad boy image).  However, I did want to be certain and share this appropriately themed tag with you.

Isn't that image a hoot?  A friend of Alex's found that stamp and knew it was something she would love.  Just fabulous!!!  We can chat more tomorrow!!!

Alex is entering this into the HDH Macabre Monday Challenge #155 - RIP

Happy Halloween!
Edgar

31 Days of Halloween - Day 15

 Thank you all sooooooooo much!  Due to your requests I am sporting a new look.  This one is bright green, but mostly I love how long it is.  So fancy and full.  Not certain if the color will be ok, but going to give it a shot.

Alex really is still very excited about being the Bombshell Stamps Pin-Up for October.  So much that she was able to incorporate the Bombshell Stamps Oct. Sketch Challenge in with her 31 Days projects.  She used the wonderful A Pirate's Life set.  Even better, she is ordering the Holiday Accessory set for her Bombshell Stamps.  Look at the witch's hat and broom.  Too bad she didn't have it already, but that would have required brains planning.

Happy Halloween!
Edgar

31 Days of Halloween - Day 14

Good day, good day, good day.  Before I share today's lovely creation I would like to address the topic of my tail.  As you can see, Alex has left me with this ghetto creation for way, way, WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too long.  I have been promised another option shortly, but she is so busy attempting to video some things, (technology is clearly not her strength) I am not certain she will remember.  So, if you could all put in a good word for me, I would appreciate it.  Thank you.

This beautiful image is from Sweet Pea Stamps.  It is titled Gothic Moon and the artist is Rebecca Sinz.  This was one of those creations that, once Alex colored the image, just came together on its own.  The scroll in the top left corner was made using the Mini Lace 1st Impression mold.  

Enjoy the rest of the creations by the Wicked Bloggers today.  Don't forget, there are things to WIN!  Visit Terra's blog for the details if you have forgotten.

Happy Halloween!

31 Days of Halloween - Day 13

 Oh my goodness, you are not going to believe what I get to share with you today.  Alex is over the moon!!  She found ZOMBIE MERMAID STAMPS.  Yep- for real- CAW CAW!

These three lovely ladies are Stampotique images she purchased from SCACD.  I don't think I have ever seen her ink up stamps as quickly as she did these, and I mean ever! (of course, I am in a cage most of the year)  She gave these gals the perfect zombie touch with sparkling red eyes.  If you click the bottom image you will see a larger version and just might be able to tell a bit better.  I hope you enjoy this tag, I had to pry it out of Alex's hands to share it with you!  She kept mumbling something about 'love it and pet it and call its name George' or something.....crazy lady!


Happy Halloween!
Edgar

31 Days of Halloween - Day 12

 Welcome to day 12!!  What fun today is and you are going to be so happy you stopped by Alex's blog today.  hint, hint, wink, wink, nudge, nudge - caw, caw!

Today I am sharing yet another tag Alex made.  She is really loving this witch set from Inkadinkado and combined an image from it with images from two other Inkadinkado sets.  Wow, look at her use multiple items. 

Actually, it is great fun to watch her frantically digging through things searching for what she just knows is in there someplace.  I have to be alert though because it is not uncommon for things to start flying through the air and I have no desire to be taken our by a rubber stamp or spool of ribbon.  


Happy Halloween!
Edgar

31 Days of Halloween - Day 11

Hello, and so thrilled to see you, no really, I am.  Hey, what is that look for? Don't you know that this is the only time Alex lets me out of the cage?  I know, I am locked up like an animal or something!

Alex used one of the images by Stampotique.  She absolutely adores these creepy girls.  They make her cackle giggle.  Seriously, she sits there giggling to herself while working with them.  One day, I am going to call someone about that, but for now, I just let it go.  This image is called Spykee (wonder how they ever came up with that name, pfft). 

Now, off to the other Wicked Bloggers creations with you!  I have things to do, like find the image for today's prizes.  Prizes you say? Oh yes, did you not read the rules at Terra's Blog?  GO, do it now!

Happy Halloween!
Edgar

31 Days of Halloween - Day 10

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!  So glad you are here.  Hope I haven't kept you waiting.  Alex and I had a bit of difficulty waking this morning.  The fall chill has descended and it is making us both want to stay curled up with our head tucked under our wing, or in her case blankets.

Isn't this card Alex made a bit fun?  I know there is a stamp she has been wanting to buy for a couple of years that is just some legs with witches boots, but this one is pretty similar.  Doesn't it look like a motley crew? (and yes, for you old-timers, I had a difficult time not capitalizing that or spelling crew differently)  I am pretty sure that they are all saddled up the bar, the Mummy hanging on trying to look over the top, drinking all sorts of lovely Halloween concoctions and celebrating being in public.

The bat and kitty cat (really?  a cat?) are one Alex made with molds from 1st Impressions and polymer clay.  She added just a touch of the Craft-T Rub-On to highlight the designs.

I wanted to be certain you had a good look at the sparkle Alex added to the Witch's boots. She is a bit proud of the finished result. Not certain why, anyone can color over marker with Copic Spica Glitter pens, but..... whatever!

Happy Halloween!
Edgar

31 Days of Halloween - Day 9

Well, well, fancy seeing you here!  Can you believe, day 9 already!  My how time flies, wish I could....

 

This ballroom scene is created using a stamp form an Inkadinkado set and the chandelier is from a set by the Devil Herself.  Periodically Alex will break down and purchase something because every one's minions need to eat, and they just sometimes hit one out of the part.  This happened to be one of those times in her mind.  Personally, I could have gone for something a bit more...feathery. 

I hope you are checking out all the other Wicked Bloggers.  There has been some truly astounding creations.  Things that even made Alex speechless and that is a huge deal! (and may I personally say 'thank you')  The complete list is on the right side of the blog if you would like.

Happy Halloween!
Edgar

31 Days of Halloween - Day 8

Welcome to Day 8.  You will see that there was a peasant bird in Alex's lawn that let me use some of his feathers to create a tail.  This look will probably be short lived as it is not the highest quality.  I am kind of liking the dots though.  Hope that stupid cat chokes on the sparkles of my fancy tail.

Today I am excited to not only share Alex's creation, but some news from Sweet Pea Stamps.  Yes, I am being trusted asked to tell you about the Digital Stamps now available from Sweet Pea Stamps!!!  The image Alex used here is Halloween Kitty Witch drawn by ching chou kuik.  You can purchase it in rubber as well, whichever is your preference or BOTH!

Happy Halloween!
Edgar

31 Days of Halloween - Day 7

Welcome back!  I hope everyone had a fabulous World Cardmaking Day yesterday.  I know that Alex went out to play.

As they say, when Alex is away the cat will play.....  REALLY!?!??!  

Hey, a little help here!!!!!

Not quite certain how I am meant to focus on sharing Alex's creations for 31 Days with Tinker chomping on my new tail!!!

Phew, thank you for calling her off.  Whoever said that perhaps this tail might be too much and entice Tinker, you were right.  Also, flying might be important!!!

Now, onto today's creation.  This is another tag using images from MME and Inkadinkado.  Personally, I love the colors of the night sky.  Alex loves this idea of a girl dressed as a witch for Halloween and looking up to see one in the sky.  Whatever works for her.

Off to try a different look.

Happy Halloween!
Edgar

31 Days of Halloween - Day 6

Hello this fine, fine day!!!!  Alex has another tag creation to share with you today.  It is different than the last, but I think you will like it.  Unfortunately, there is not a raven on it this time.  I am pretty sure that was just an over-site on Alex's part, because it could not have been intentional.

This tag has a lovely clothesline.  Even better, look who let there clothes to dry!  Bet that she is anxious for them to dry before it is time to go flying around the sky!!  Her familiar must be keeping watch.

Alex and I want to be certain you can see that gorgeous metallic shimmer on the cauldron.  Alex was able to get that by rubbing just a touch of the Craft-T metallic rub on.  The cauldron is made from polymer clay.

Now, onto the important things.  You may have noticed I am sporting another look today.  What do you think?

You can't really tell in the photo -basically Alex's photography skills are mediocre so you get what you get - but there is actually a large about of sparkle with this look.  Is it me?  Is it too formal?  Is there such a thing as too showy?

I think I look quite upper crust in this.  Alex thinks I won't be able to fly.  HMPT  - whatever, as if flying is more important than looking good.

Happy Halloween!
Edgar

31 Days of Halloween - Day 5

Welcome to Day 5.  WOW, already!!!  Can you believe it?  Alex and I have been looking through all the Wicked Bloggers creations and there are some amazing creations.  I swear I can, literally, see the ideas just flowing through Alex's brain.  Sometimes I have to watch out for flying objects as she begins to play.

This adorable girl is called Little Skullie.  She is from the Little Sassy Crew Collection exclusive to SCACD.  After coloring her and trimming the image, Alex paired her with some paper from the MME Lost & Found Halloween pack.  The corner die is one of the Garden Corner set from the Dies by SCACD.  I know Alex was trying to find a way to use the awesome Alice's Clock die, but it is going to have to wait for a later creation.

Go get hopping to see more of the creative yumminess.  The complete list of Wicked Bloggers can be found on the right sidebar if you get lost.

Happy Halloween!
Edgar

31 Days of Halloween - Day 4

Am I blocking your view?  You want to see more than my gorgeous tail and back?  Are you sure?  I bet you can guess that we are back in 'Tagland'.  All right, all right....



I have to admit that Alex knocked it out of the park with this one, but please don't tell her I said that.  She might get all mushy and it would just totally mess things up. 
For this tag Alex used a stamp from the MME Lost & Found Halloween set.  I bet you see more of the images from this set in the future.  The background is created with a variety of inks sponged on.  The witches hat and Raven sticker (poor guy, he got hit by the flying glitter) were added and viola!  complete.

Happy Halloween!
Edgar

31 Days of Halloween - Day 3

Hello lovelies!!!  Alex has been frantically busy creating.  There is paper, glitter and glue flying!  You are going to love some of these things when I get to share them.

This fun cutie is called Little Stargazer.  She is sporting some Halloween colors and paired with the MAAHHHVVELOUS paper with those BEAUTIFUL birds in the background.  Honestly, I think Alex kind of messed it up by adding anything, but she seems to think it is all up to her.  The paper and tag are both from the MME Lost & Found Halloween collection.

Happy Halloween!
Edgar

31 Days of Halloween - Day 2

Hello, hello, hello!  Welcome back you Horrifying Hoppers!  Those of you that have no idea what I am talking about can find all the information about the 31 Days of Halloween here, and the complete list of participating Wicked Bloggers on the right side bar of Alex's Blog.  Although, I have to say, you must have been living under a rock or something to not know!

Now, without further ado (doesn't that sound fancy?) here is Alex's creation for Day 2.

This lovely image is drawn by Rebbeca Sinz and is available at Sweet Pea Stamps ( who happens to have free shipping through Saturday! Caw! Caw!!).  Alex finds spider webs to be one of the beauties in nature, as long as she isn't walking through them or cleaning them off the side of the house.  She oohed and awed as soon as she saw this image and knew it was one she just had to create with.

She has paired it with paper from Memory Box and the spider web corner die is from Memory Box as well.  The web ribbon is from her junk pile stash.

I hope you took some time yesterday to visit all the amazing creations.  I know Alex was just blown away. See you tomorrow!

Happy Halloween!
