Some Shamrocks and a Zombie

Today, my kitchen counter has medicine (one of the Grandbabies is sick), a thermometer,  some vitamins, one daughter's sociology book (not sure how she is studying it since she left it here over a week) and my new yoga tape.  I also did some more cards using my SU! Barn door die and some images from DRS Designs.

This first one was made using the DRS Designs Wood Grain Background on my base door panel.  I stamped it and then stamped it again to get a bit more wood grain.  I sponged over it with TH Distress Ink in Vintage Photo.  It was a bit dark so then I sponged over it with Picket Fence and that toned it down enough that you could see the grain again.  It also made it look a bit more aged.  

Then I die cut the hardware and assembled the door.  I then made a plaque using a label die from SU! and stamped the Blessings greeting and the new Shamrock Scroll image.  I needed some Wow so I glittered up some shamrocks and fussy cut them to add them to the plaque.  Super fun.  

Before I started the first card, I really wanted to make a Zombie card because one of the only Walking Dead episodes I have ever watched had zombies locked in a barn.  When they opened that door, it was super scary!!!  I used the DRS Zombie Guy image and the Spooky Eyes Background for this card
I am loving this Barn Door Die.  

What is on your Kitchen Counter today?


Hugz,

    Fabulous!!!! Love that scary looking zombie peeking out. The door on that first one looks just like wood too. Great cards.

    Such fun and creative barn door cards, Nancy. No Zombie's on my kitchen counter..., but I can visualize glittery shamrocks on my counter. TFS both your very different barn door cards, my friend. TFS Hugs..

    Both cards are good but I like the first one more. It is more charming. But I am sure there would be lots of takers for the zombie card as well.

Forest Goodies and Other Projects

 Hello Crafty Friends. I just got the Stamperia Forest Paper and Die Cuts in the mail so I had to play with them right away.   I have a combo creation - journal page and card.  On the journal page I used my 6x6 Dina Wakley Journal and laid a base of gesso.  I then used Dina's pastel crayons and some SU! inks and stamps.  Also added in some TH Dress Ink in Vintage Photo since I don't know how to make anything without it  (seriously).   The eagle is a Stamperia Forest die cut and is coated with gesso.  Did a bit of stenciling and distressing to finish the page off.  I am linking this the the **Art*Journal*Journey* September Texture Theme (last day - can't wait to see what October's Theme will be).  The die cut and the little smears add texture to the already very textured page.   I love the blue and green together and was inspired to made a quick card for my Son-in-law who cut down some tree limbs for us the other day....

Dreams of Fall, Numbers, and a Cool Drink

I hate to admit it, but I am already looking forward to Fall!  That is also the theme for this House Mouse card I finished up today. I stamped this 2009 Turning Over a New Leaf (Monica) image on the envelope too because the current House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge #392 theme is decorate your envelope too.  On the card, I stamped the image, popped up some of the leaves and drew in some branches.  The background and leaves are watercolored with DOX ink.  Monica is colored with pencils and watercolor.   I sure wished it was Fall on Saturday when we were watching our youngest grandson at the 6U All Star State Championship. It was very hot. His team lost in the semi-finals. We were very proud of how hard they played. Speaking of baseball, I did two pages on our two All-Stars. I am linking them up to the Numbers theme at **Art*Journal*Journey* .  I have numbers in the journaling and there are numbers on their jerseys.   The All Stars cap ...

Halloween Lunch Pictures and Some Art

Happy T-day! Our favorite local restaurant is Fox's Pizza Den where they have great pizza, sandwiches, pasta and salads. They also have a Bourbon Bar.  Prices range from $7 to almost $1,000 on the bourbon and bourbon drinks.   Each holiday, the bourbon bar comes up with fun holiday themed drinks and they decorate the bar too.  A few weeks ago, we headed there for lunch and to try one of the new drinks.  Here is the holiday drink menu and my tickets to T-day over at Elizabeth's Blog where we share our fun drink related items from the week.  Of course, my daughter loves vampire books and movies so she picked the blood bag. I go more for taste so I got the Meet Your Maker - it was wonderful.   We shared a pizza and a salad.  I forgot to take a picture of the pizza, but I did get one of the salad. It had grilled chicken and potato wedges - super fun.  They make their ranch dressing on site and it is wonderful.  My husband has been know...
