Kitty Luna and LeighSBDesigns!

Today I am asking if you know where your kitty goes at midnight on Halloween?  Well Kitty Luna from LeighSBDesigns heads to the tree for a faboolous view of the moon!  Here is how I think it goes down! Oh and it is Tuesday Tutorial but I am giving you a really abbreviated version so you can keep hopping!



I colored Kitty Luna with Spectrum Noir markers then used acrylic paints to do the sky and small tree limbs and highlights.  The moon is also colored with the markers.  Looks like mischief is those eyes to me!


Hang in there almost done!

Tangled Rose Collage Eyes and LeighSBDesigns!

I love the Tangled Rose Collage digital stamp from LeighSBDesigns!  I like layering the rose up and giving it some dimension!  Here is my index card featuring the Tangled Rose Collage!






I colored it up with Spectrum Noir markers and attached to more of my homemade background paper. I double colored and cut the rose layering it up and the corner blocks, too!  Then I distressed the edges and made some lines with a white gel pen.  All done!


Have fun!

A Witch's Night Out at LeighSBDesigns!

You know those witches love to party!  And on Halloween night and the 31 Days of Halloween...forget about it!  It is on and they are party animals...some of them literally party animals!  I have used the Tangled Witch Hat from LeighSBDesigns for this party play make!



I used a skelly stencil given to me by Granne and stamps given me by Tracy on my homemade background paper made from leftover paint from my palette of acrylic paints and a brayer.  The skull and shoes and broom were fussy cut and glued. The witches hat is on pop dots of foam as well as the sentiment.  She is ready to PAAARTY!

Keep on Hopping!

Hearts on Fire and Alfred at LeighSBDesigns!

I just adore Alfred Hitchcock and this digital stamp by LeighSBDesigns is super realistic!  Welcome back for the 31 Days of Halloween!  Here is my little canvas with a burning heart behind good ole Alfred and his pet raven!


Colored with Spectrum Noir Markers and fussy cut to add on top of an acrylic canvas.  I used Photoshop to add the sentiment in a gothic horror font.  Just to add that for Halloween but have the lovely piece for my studio without the sentiment.

Have a great hop!

Day 7 of the 31 DOH and VAMPIRES!!! EEEK!!

Do you believe in vampires?  How about Tangled Vampire Cats? Well, you do believe in the Tangled Vampire Cat at LeighSBDesigns and what a beauty he is .....he looks like a guy cat to me 😁!  I just love this little guy!




He is fussy cut and tail and foot double layered with foam tape.  The background is some paints in my paint palette keeper that were going to waste so I put them in globs on two index cards and brayered and sprayed.  Then a stencil to follow some of his line work!  He is colored in Spectrum Noir markers and I couldn't resist the old ad: Got Milk? well, he wants to know if you got BLOOD!  Golden shiny finish used on his eyes and I painted his vampire teeth white so they would pop and on the ornate thing he is holding for fab shine! I spattered my hand lettered sentiment with a toothbrush and some thin red acrylic paint making some fabulous blood spatters a lot of them!


The GIVEAWAY!  Each week I will do a random draw from the comments of luv that I know at least two of you will leave making Susan Renshaw's chance of winning Gianormous! since I have won such wonderful things from her!  The prize will be a craft item from Japan that I think you might find unique and awesome as I find the stuff!  I will do Mr. Random.Org on every Monday to draw for the past week BUT I will probably not be able to do this while Real Nan is in Japan for two weeks but I will catch up all at one time when I hit home ground!

Don't forget to leave lots of luv for all of the Bloggers!
Ghoul evening, Lovelies!

Day Five of the 31 Days of Halloween!

This might be a piece that you look at and go piff! that is not scary!  But this piece is terrifying to me because I am afraid of small boats in water and crocodiles that have swallowed a clock and are "ticked" off at me (sorry had to do it!)!  And I am definitely sure that Captain Hook is more than terrified by this whole scene!  




I used watercolor paints again  some help from the Art Sherpa and murkied up the water and can only imagine what else is lurking down under that tiny boat!!

Remember we are leaving lots of love for each Wicked Blogger in the spirit of Halloween or an evil dust mite might just get revenge tonight...shiver me timbers!!


Again, this is Ghost Nan filling in for the real old Nan who right now probably is wobbling from all of the glorious food she is eating as they wander down the streets of Tokyo and Kyoto!

Day 4 and The Asylum!

Any American Horror Show fans out there??  Asylum was my least favorite but also scared me the least so that evens it out! LOL  I have another couple who are blaming their issues on each other or maybe YOU?  I don't really understand as seeing a frog with fairy antenna doesn't seem odd to me but it got them smack in the middle of a treatment facility!  Some people have no sense of humor I guess!  I wish them the best....maybe when they no longer see the antenna they can go home?  Oh well, we bid them adieu for now!


This is from the kit Dreams Funky Fairies and Old Haunts by Tumble Fish Studios at Mischief Circus!
Unlike them, you do have an exit so take it and go leave some love!

Beasties Be Calling at LeighSBDesigns!

I love these little guys! They look like they have my attitude! Ok, I admit I have been in a bad temper for quiet a while!  But these guys make YOU pay for their mood!  It's 31 Days of Halloween and LeighSBDesigns is playing along!  Today my offering is this with the Bizarre Beasties!




I painted the background with acrylic paint; I painted the Beasties home tree with lots of other Beasties peeping out!  Also hanging out with them is the Tangled Raven who keeps an eye out for the far away stuff to haunt by taking regular flights around the forest!  And a hand lettered sentiment of course with Beasties Be Calling!  Colored with Spectrum Noir and fussy cut and added to the background and glued.


Hope you enjoy the 31 Days of Halloween with the fabulous LeighSBDesigns!

Day 3 of the 31 DOH

Okay, I am going to confess.  I needed fast projects as I decided to be a Wicked Blogger on the 15th of September with no premade projects...another horrifying scream as all Bloggers can understand and left the States on the 28th of September for two weeks in Japan....yep a scream!  So I am double duty working this thing! Let me show you my second way to do this!

Studio Ghibli in Japan is AMAZING we have all of their videos and I love the Man with No Face! So I made a clay one with clay from my last trip to Japan a huge pack for 100 yen...a buck for me!  And that is the beginning of my Man with No Face necklace which I am wearing right now and eating some pastry with bean paste in the center....yum yum!  His friend is Kodama a weird little ghost from Japaneses folklore and the movie Princess Mononoke. Below is the Wikipedia definition of a Kodama.

Kodama (木霊 or 木魂) are spirits in Japanese folklore that inhabit trees, similar to the dryads of Greek mythology. The term is also used to denote a tree in which a kodama supposedly resides. The phenomenon known as yamabiko, when sounds make a delayed echoing effect in mountains and valleys, is sometimes attributed to this kind of spirit, and may also be referred to as "kodama".




The GIVEAWAY!  Each week I will do a random draw from the comments of luv that I know at least two of you will leave making Susan Renshaw's chance of winning since I have won such wonderful things from her!  The prize will be a craft item from Japan that I think you might find unique and awesome as I find the stuff!  I will do Mr. Random.Org on every Monday to draw for the past week BUT I will probably not be able to do this while Real Nan is in Japan for two weeks but I will catch up all at one time when I hit home ground!

Have a ghoulishly good day, Lovelies, as Ghost Nan continues to hold down the fort! Now shoo go to the next blog!! Run but don't fall down....safety first then really fun stuff like running with scissors MUWAHAHAHA!
Intended for mature audiences only!! This is my disclaimer and I am standing by it!

Day 2 and the Murderous Couple Check In!

Here at the Hotel Hell, we have a lovely couple in room 13 who checked in long, long ago!  It seems she always hides behind the curtain as if hiding something on her left side?? a bullet hole perhaps?  And he is always sitting perhaps he had a nasty accident with his legs and an axe?  A nifty handy bottle of formaldehyde sets on the table by the phone that has a cord but no plug end nor plug in for service!  Well, they seem to be handling it all quiet nicely!  We shall leave them to their ....love??


This is from the kit Hotel Hell from Tumble Fish Studios by Mischief Circus!

Ghost Nan may know these two! But for now she wants you to run along and comment after reading about the giveaway below!

Day One of the 31 Days of Halloween is HERE!

It's that time again YAY!  The 31 Days of Halloween are upon us!  I only decided at about 2am a couple of days ago to do this and only one tiny or a few tiny complications!  First had not one project ready...kind of a biggie!  Second I am in Japan right now as we get started for the next 12 days this is the second day of our trip!  Soooo I am hoping no Blogger Gremlins hit me while I am gone as I have left the blog in Ghost Nan's capable???? hands :)  But the 31 DOH wouldn't be fun without some massive obstacles being involved so on to the project.

This is a digi named Bea Possessed and was on a dollar sale with a bunch of other artist's digis and Markers!Paper!Digis! and I cannot find my note as to who drew her :(  If you know would you please drop it in the comments below?  Anyway, she is one messed up chick!



Her background is made from left over palette paper acrylic paints brayered over and then stamped with skulls and acrylic paint by DecoArt a new artist soft bodied paint line and the skulls are from Stampendous (winnings from a by gone year!)  The Raven on her head is one from a fabulous gift bag given to me by Tracy!  She is colored with Spectrum Noir markers and her "flawed" area are highlighted with Golden High Gloss Finish.  It is so hard to get rotting flesh exactly the right shade is it not????  The a Tim Holtz Paper Distresser and she is done!  The left corner was possessed and would not stay still for  a photo!

Please go by and check everyone's work out and leave some love!  That is what makes 31 Days worth the stress and massive work....giving a nod of encouragement to your fellow crafter!  So in the spirit of our favorite holiday be generous and kind.


Ghost Nan has now left the blog!  Real Nan is having so much fun thanks Ghost Nan for holding down the fort for me! Oh my I almost forgot!

The GIVEAWAY!  Each week I will do a random draw from the comments of luv that I know at least two of you will leave making Susan Renshaw's chance of winning HUGE since I have won such wonderful things from her!  The prize will be a craft item from Japan that I think you might find unique and awesome as I find the stuff!  I will do Mr. Random.Org on every Monday to draw for the past week BUT I will probably not be able to do this while Real Nan is in Japan for two weeks but I will catch up all at one time when I hit home ground!

Have a ghoul day lovelies!

Skull Card

Lost Coast Designs has this wicked cool stamp of bodies that form a skull!  I love the quirkiness of it and it looks awesome!  I made a card...yes, a card...hard to do but did it.  I used Distress Inks and water splats for the background with some typewriter keys paper and then cut the individual letters to spell skull under the image...another "skull life" depiction!  The other will be debuting at Dream in Darkness Challenge Blog for the 31 Days of Halloween so keep an eye or three out for it!


How cool is that image?  Freaky awesome cool :)
Hope you are enjoying this time of celebrating we are doing for Halloween...look at it this way, it is prolonging Christmas shopping!
