Film Frankie~~

I love this one!  Isn't it great!  (she says patting her own back).  I was talking to my daughter and she said "Mom, you don't send halloween cards...."  and I said "I'm not, he's from a movie, they are movie cards!" (sarcastically) and the idea was born to make a movie strip of Frankie!


I suppose I should have made the notches on the black cs on both sides, but I didn't really think of that until it was completed.  I used my markers in a continuous striping motion to get even color.  If you double back with markers, you get dark areas and uneven color.  The "hello" is also from the $1 bin.  I'm telling you, you need to stalk those craft store bins. I have a wonderful collection of words from the $1 bin, but I have been collecting them for a couple years.  Just grab a couple when you go.  They replenish every couple weeks!


Well, hats off to you.  Hug your kids, love your hubby, mail a card to a friend, and be thankful for what you have!

Frankie~~~

When I saw this little guy lying in the bin at the store, I had the idea here.  I stamped him in blank ink onto Wasabi cs.  Then cut him out!  I ended up going over the black areas in his hair, pants and shoes with my marker to make it a crisper black.  I thought he needed a touch of color so I clipped a tiny piece of Pumpkin Pie cs and added it over the "patch" in his pants.  The scallop circle is Wisteria Wonder.  Finally I added those boogley eyes again!  They are available in so many sizes.  I recommend you get lots to have on hand.  I have added them to all kinds of things!  


One more for tomorrow, that happens to be my favorite, sort of.  They are all so cute!  See ya tomorrow!

Monster Mash~~

I could NOT resist this cute little guy at my LCS this week!  I don't really do halloween, but these lil' monsters remind me of that old Monster Mash song?  Do you know it?  He was $1!  So he came home with  me~~

I kept these very simple. Here I added some Wisteria Wonder ink to the base with an old retired stamp called Weathered.  I chose Lucky Limeade for Frankie.....!

And here I added some "boogley eyes" for additional interest!

Isn't he cute!!!!

I have two more to show you with Frankie!  Come back soon----
