Michief Madness Blog Hop for My Life in Arts n' Crafts DT

Welcome to another fun My Life in Arts’ n Crafts’ Design team Hop!

Jessi loves Halloween so tonight we're having a mischief madness hop. Happy Mischief night and don’t get into too much trouble. You can put the eggs and toilet paper down. My project today is sure to keep you out of mischief, or maybe make you want to go cause some in your craft room.
If your coming over from CardMonkey Ellen  you're in the right place and if not make sure you head over to My Life in Arts’ n Crafts’ to get started.

For my project I used the Stone Gray twine, Mandarin Orange twine , and purple jute From the My Life in Arts’ n Crafts’ store.

This is a graveyard card I designed in Inkscape and then cut out. As you can see, the gates open up to reveal, "Happy Holloween." I used the twine and jute to put a pretty little bow around my gates to keep them closed because you may dare NOT to open them. All the people in there have been dying to get out. Had to throw that one in there.

Thank you so much for stopping by and best wishes for a safe and fun trick or treating.

I made owl themed treat boxes for a Halloween party I hosted. I had nine children ages 7 and under running around.

The owl box is an svg file I created in Inkscape and I used Halloween twine from Divine Twine. The moon paper is from the DCWV Halloween stack from last year.


Thank you so much for hopping along with us today and have a very safe and happy Halloween! Hugs from Lorby's World.

Bewitched Blog Hop

Welcome to the Bewitched Blog Hop. Have you ever wanted to just "twitch" your nose and make things happen without of course the meddling "mother-in-law" and the other cast of characters!

Bewitched was an American situation comedy broadcast for eight seasons from 1964 to 1972. The show is about a witch who marries a mortal and tries to lead the life of a typical suburban housewife. The series even had a different Darren cast part way through the broadcast. There was a wild cast of characters including the neighbor, Gladys, and Larry, Darren's boss.

If you just happened to land here on your broom today by chance, I would love for you to start this hop at beginning which is Lynne at http://slasewcraftiness.blogspot.com/. If you arrived from Anita's blog then you are on flying with the stars in alignment.

Witches Brew for Card:

digital witches' hat stamp - I sited this stamp as being created by me because I couldn't remember where I got it from or if one of my friends had passed it off to me. Sonia from SKdigis contacted me to tell me that it was her file and I needed to site it as that or remove it. I decided to site it so that I could give her the credit she deserves. She does beautiful drawings on her site and I encourage all to visit her site and see what she creates, so the witches' hat is created by SKdigis

witches hat colored with Inkadinkadoo bright blending chalk and Pebbles Inc. shimmer chalk

bright green background paper is DCVW Citrus collection

dry embossed on background done using Cuddlebug

orange glitter for moon - Stugio g

"You're Bewitching" printed out on Canon printer and then inked with ColorBox fluid chalk inkpad in Wisteria
Thank you so much for hopping along with us today in this "Bewitched" blog hop.
