It's Time for Another Challenge at ABAC!

Here is my project for this challenge. I used an image from Simply Betty's Steampunk Halloween Collection.

I made a collage and placed it in a glass scrapbook collage frame that was purchased at Hobby Lobby. I took the collage out of the frame to photograph it because of glare.

Here's what Hubs had to say:
"It looks religious."
"Religious?"
"Yeah, that's the Blessed Mother and the Devil, right?"
"Riiiiiight........."

A clock was added to the tombstone and pop dots were added for dimension.

 I used my new Nestie for the first time!

A die cut from Graphic 45 was added.

I found this key and keyhole at Archiver's.

Here's the collage in the frame. I like the way it's recessed behind the glass. 
I hope you'll join our challenge! There is a fabulous prize to be won from Lili of the Valley: a $20 gift certificate, and you could even be chosen as a Guest Designer! Zap yourself over to ABAC to see what the other amazing designers have created! You'll be inspired!

It's Time for Another MTME Pretty Patterns Sketch!


This is my take on this week's sketch. I actually turned a round doily into an oval one by folding and trimming it. Then I cut around the sentiment using an oval Nestie and distressed the edges with a blue ink pad that I found in the dollar bin at Michael's. The flower is also from Michael's and the metallic ribbon is from Hobby Lobby.
You can find the sentiment and DP in the MTME Shop. The sentiment is from the Keep Strong Collection. 
If you haven't checked out all the digital papers Lauren has to offer, you really should! They are all beautiful! It's so nice to be able to save them on your computer and print them out as needed. You can find them all HERE.

It's Softpencil Tuesday!

I made a cute little "Boo" purse to showcase a Softpencil "Michu" tag. 

Here is a closeUp of the tag.

A closeup of the purse. I altered the template "Slice" from My Time Made Easy and turned it into a purse. 
Stop by the Softpencil Studios to see what else is new! The DT has projects to share too. Their links are in my sidebar.

It's Time for Another Challenge at ABAC!

It's time for another challenge at ABAC! My posting day is the 15th of the month, but I made something so adorable, I just couldn't wait to post it now!
I found this cute lantern template at SVG Cuts. It's part of the Crisp Days of Fall collection. It's just perfect for Fall, and it goes together so quickly and easily. I used frosted vellum for the window panes and placed a small battery operated tea light inside. Stunning! 
I hope you'll join our challenge! There is a fabulous prize to be won from Unity Stamps, and you could even be chosen as a
