Hey Kid!

Today is the long-awaited first day of the 31 Days of Halloween Challenge and Blog Hop, sponsored by Smeared Ink and the Smeared and Smudged forum!

To see everyone who is participating, follow the blog roll on the right.  If you're here from Sue's blog, welcome!

To lead off, I offer this little scene (a 6x6 fat page) entitled Hey Kid!

To me, clowns are always creepy, and this one rising from the dead is creepier than most.  (In fact, when my son was very small, I taught him to say, "Twowns awe pwetty tweepy.")

The details are as follows:

1. Little B Kraft/White chipboard
2. Gelatos by Faber Castell
3. Vellum--unknown maker
4. Clown parts & sentiment from Build-A-Clown set by BasicGrey (now, sadly, discontinued) 
5. Tombstone—hand drawn
6. Running child—from Stampers Anonymous Studio 490 by Wendy Vecchi Art for Men set
7. Moon—from Sun, Moon, and Stars set by Metropolitan Museum of Art
8. Spectrum Noir colored pencils

10. Trees--stamp by D.O.T.S. no longer available

Smiling Cats with TLC

Another card for Paulette's challenge.

I was a little rushed on this one, but I did enjoy coloring those kitties!

By the way, I purchase many of my supplies, (here, the card itself, the designer paper, the watercolor pencils, the glue) from Blitsy, which has definitely become my favorite flash sale site.  I warn you, though, it can become addictive!  

Music and Cats with TLC

A couple more cards for Paulette's Progressive Freebies Challenge for World Card Making Day.  Paulette blogs over at Create with TLC, and sells wonderful images at her Artfire shop.

You can see Max lurking in the background of the card at the top.  I thought it was appropriate, given the subject matter!

Coffee and Shoes with TLC

Another great image from Paulette at Create With TLC for her Progressive Freebies Challenge for World Card Making Day.  (It's the coffee grinder and cup image!)

And my effort with this one:

In the second pic there you can see one of our (many) kitties, Max.  It's a beautiful day here in NW Missouri, and he's outside enjoying the weather.

It's hard to see in these pictures, but this card has a bit of shimmer and shine, both in the shoes and in the pink/red background.

Home with TLC

I am participating in Paulette's Progressive Freebies Challenge for World Card Making Day!
So much fun!
Here is my submission for the first day.  

Paulette gave us this lovely house freebie, and invited everyone to create something with it.

Thank you Paulette for this lovely image and great challenge!
