Down the Spooky Rabbit Hole with EIC

It has been such an honor and pleasure to have been
a Guest Designer with the talented team from the
EtsyInspired Challenge.

I have found that the older I get, the time
absolutely zooms by and the month of August
has been consistent with that statement.
I thank the girls at EIC for their kind comments
along the way and hope that I was able to bring
'just a little something extra' to their challenge.

For this week's challenge, we were inspired by the
beautiful shop known as 'The Caged Fairy', which
features some beautiful handcrafted jewelry.
I chose this pendant for my inspiration.....

.....and I have been dying to pull out my newest
Graphic45 collection that picked up at CHA last month.

Halloween can't come fast enough for me...well, I don't want it to be
here quite yet because I want some solid 'play time' to create some
spooky creations.
This is hardly spooky, but it is from Graphic45's
'Halloween in Wonderland'
I inked up the borders of this fabby paper with black ink to
create some spooky shadows (ok, so a little spooky)
I cut some concentric circles using my Spellbinders Nesties
and topped it with a wonderful die-cut which is part of the collection.
The embellishments are from Making Memories 'Spellbound'.

Make sure you stop by this lovely shop to see all
the wonderful pendants that are available there and
of course, please visit the girls from EIC.

'Baby Love, my Baby Love'

I am guest designing for the entire month of August

over at EtsyInspired.  It's such an honor to design

with such a talented group of girls!

They celebrated their 100th challenge last week

and it was so fun for me to be included in the celebration!

Speaking of which....

Before I get to this week's challenge, 

I need to announce the winner of the amazing

'ribbon stash' from May Arts.

Congratulations goes out to.....

It's a good life."

Terri....send an email over to stampindeva@bellsouth.net

 and let her know you won on my blog.

This week's Etsy store featured is

Lover Dovers Homemade Goodness

What a fun little place to browse and buy!!!

You have an opportunity to win one the

fabby handcrafted aprons from this 

sweet little shop.

Here is the apron I chose as my inspiration...

My teenage days were spent smack

in the 70's.  I spent every single year

from 10-19 in that decade and to this

day, I still love me some good disco!

Another big part of the 70's were the

fun and funky 'mushroom' motifs.

So this apron was a perfect fit for me.

Cosmo Cricket's 'Earth Love' was the first thing I

grabbed out of my stash.  I think it's fun to

create 'unusual' cards for baby showers.

There's no stamping on this card...just a little sewing 

and embellishment...easy peasy!

You definitely need to make a visit to the

EtsyInspired Blog to get all the details on

the prize from the featured shop, but also 

check out the sponsor prize from

Sassy Studio Designs.
