Did this month just fly by or what??  That's one fast broom!

What I have today is home made 'snow globe'.

I wanted to use a glass jar, but you know with kids how easily they tend to break things even when they don't mean it.

The plastic jar is a little cloudy and the stamped images are a bit hard to see.  

The first picture is in the sunlight and then the rest are under my desk light.

Just imagine it is a foggy Halloween night and this poor skelli just popped up from the grave and has no idea what is going on.

Desk Light Shots

ahhahaaa, oops!  

The tree must have slid down the first time I turned this upside down.

Graveside Deets

I should really do these projects days before and

Off again in about 15 min so will post pics and add the

Ack, my camera ran out of juice so will post pic of Halloween Wreath hanging in a bit.  The base of this wreath was Q-Tips, which is the October Junk Funk Challenge at the Smeared and Smudged Forum.  I was hoping they would show a bit more but oh well!

And my pic the face looks yellow, but is bright green.  Ahhh, gotta love altered colors!
Again, barely making it and will post more deets later this afternoon.  Thanks all.

I have decided to make some Spell Books.  I am still working on the covers so you will see those and more pages this next week, maybe even one finished book...kinda.  You know how it goes when you need to add more pages, or accumulate more stamps that need to go in.  Yes, another book that will never be quite "finished".

 

Now that I have made a couple, I am hooked.  Watch out after Halloween sales, I am  ready!!

Okay, on with the post.  I am showing two sets of pages from the altered phone book.  

 

Section 13 - The Deets

Pages were found on GOOGLE, saved, and printed out on full sheets of copy paper.

Cut to measure phone book.

Pages are slightly thicker because when I Gesso-ed the outside, did pages as well and many stuck together.  So pulled apart the width that I liked.

Printed pages were Tombow-ed to the book pages.

Maya Red Mist Spritz in centers.

Was looking for ideas, this month, for the Cub Scouts.  The kids are finally at an age where we can really start to do some fun projects.

The project I have today, you may have seen.  It was quite popular years ago.  I thought it would be perfect for the pack activity this Friday.

I found a lot of great tutorials out there in cyber city and accumulated the ones I liked and then did my take on them.

 

I give you Halloween Friends

   

AND the stamping will go on the candies

My book mark today will also be entered into Haunted Design House Macabre Monday Challenge:

Hellacious Halloween 

I love the dark side of all our wonderful nursery rhymes and Peter the Pumpkin Eater is no different.  I have heard many morbid alternatives to the "real" story behind this poem.  I choose the one where the cheating wife gets dismembered and is stuffed/hidden in a pumpkin.  
So watch out for those "carving" accidents this Halloween.  You may never know what is hiding in those flickering eyes of those pumpkins...

Once again running late and will post the details this afternoon...

When I colored this fab-lish image in from Lizzy Love at Odd Ball Art Co., it just reminded me of a pissed off teenager with those cynical looks and stand off-ish posture.  And we all know how embarrassing it is when we show up some place wearing the same "outfit" as someone else.  Here's to all the teenage sexy nurses this Halloween: 

For those oversea Lurkers...
SKANK:  Derogatory term for a (usually younger) female, implying trashiness or tackiness, lower-class status, poor hygiene, flakiness, and a scrawny, pockmarked sort of ugliness. May also imply promiscuity, but not necessarily.

Image is Creepy Cute Odd One Image 100 by Lizzy Love.  She was colored in with Blendabilities.  Crystal Effects over all three eyes.  Fussy cut and adhered to Designer Paper.

Day 17 - 31 Days

Today is Smeared Ink Friday!  So all stamps are by Smeared Ink.

You may have just arrived from the creepster Wicked Blogger Kapree and are now here at Shoni / Crafty Inknik.  The next de-licious blog is Altered Pages.

Have wanted to create a mini book with all the images from Smeared Ink digital set called Broken and Bleeding.  Here is the cover and I hope to get the rest of it finished by next week.  Still not sure where I want to take these images, but it will have something to do with Vampires and Halloween.  Have a fangin' good day everyone!

Day 16 - 31 Days, LOC #49, and S&SOctO!TH!

Wicked Blogger's are at it again for Day 16 of 31 Days of Halloween.  Can't believe it is already half over.  Thanks everyone for sticking it out with us.

Scavenger hunt rules and guidelines can be found HERE for 31 Days of Halloween.

The project I have for you today will also be entered into Left Of Center Creative Challenges and Smeared and Smudged challenges.
LOC - #49 - Alter Something
Oh! The Horror! - Sleepy Hollow (insp. by movie/poster) 

I was watching Sleepy Hollow (1999) last night and inspiration struck.  I love Burton's use of the gray/black color scheme in this movie.  Then, of course, all the heads that disappear.  I thought about adding bits of red, but for once held myself back, and happy I did.

I have altered a dry erase/magnet board to turn it into only a magnet board.  If any headless person(s) are looking for some skellie heads this Halloween, come on over, I've got a few!

BEFORE

AFTER

Dig, Dig, Dig, for the Deets

Started my altering by using brush and Black Gesso over entire board, which measures 13" x 13"...It was meant to be!

Once board was dry, I found an old cardboard skellie head stencil that I had made awhile ago.
I did have to cut out the bottom to create the teeth.  Use the extra piece for a little handle which was taped down.
 
Found my long lost glow in the dark paint, called GloAway (cute name!) and with brush put it onto stencil.
Pushed onto board 9x in different directions.  Let dry.

Next, stamping commenced!  Used set created by Rick St. Dennis for Smeared Ink Rubber Club called Morte (June 2013).
Skellie background stamp used as border and stamped with Silver Encore Ink.
Two heads w/ bone image was stamped randomly with Black Archival Ink.

Found 2 magnet clips and glued hand and foot to each.  Pieces are from stash.

Had a bracelet with skelli heads which I took apart.  Heads were adhered with large glue dot to magnet circles.
Thought it would be killer to have the skellie eyes glow in the dark, so put a dab of the GloAway in all the eyes.

Last month my friend surprised me with some wonderful bottles that her son made me.  I love the Harry Potter series and so love these bottles.

I am not sure but believe the bottles were painted with acrylic paint.

Labels were printed out and adhered on with Crystal Effects.

I added the stamping, embellies, ribbon.

These potion bottles are filled with yummy goodies

and are perfect for my mantel for every Halloween til' I die ( and even beyond, heheee...)!

It's Day 14 and I was not the only one excited for today's post.  I altered a baby doll head into a wine stopper over a year ago.  The body of the doll has been very upset at me because it wanted a head.  I was at Walmart the other day and guess what...found a skull that said it was looking for a body.  I just happen to have one of those.

 

Brought the skull home and could not wait to sit down and create, bwwaaaahhhaaaa.  Now this little love has a special place in my heart and so should have a name worthy of its unique beauty.  

I only have boys, so this dear had to be a girl.  Her name means: The name of an evil spirit in Greek mythology who abducts and murders children. Also means "vampire" in Latin and "fiend" in Arabic.  What a perfect fit.  Hard to see but she does have a bit of blood on feet and hands.  Small enough to entice and feed on children this spooky Halloween.

I apologize for all the pics and you should be happy I narrowed it down to three!  Someone wanted me to get only the best poses...

I give you LAMIA:

 MY BEST SIDE

OH, HI!

SERIOUS SIDE

Soft Suede ink to give more aged look to skull and to grunge up a bit.
