Goblin Potion Altered Matchbox

 As I've mentioned before, it's that time of year...Halloween!  And no one does Halloween better than Alpha Stamps.  This year Leslie has pulled together a fun Goblin Kit.

 One of my favorite things to make around Halloween is special treat containers.  Did you see my Medusa Candy Jar?  Well, here is a little treat box.  This one you can fill with just about anything.

 I used paper, collage images, and Dresden all from the kit.  Some of my other supplies were black seam binding, potion bottles with sticker labels, and the poison rubber stamp set all available from Alpha Stamps.

 Inside is a tarot card reading scene with a large potion bottle and a spider web in the corner.  See lots of room for candy.

But my favorite part is the paper clay zombie hands that I made for the ends.  Doesn't' it look like they are reaching in to steal some candy!?!  

This piece is available in my store

Journal ~ In the City

 I am on a roll with this journal thing LOL.  Last week at Journal 52 the theme was In the City.

The idea of using flowers for clouds popped into my head before anything else and the page evolved from there. 

When I was done adding the paper bits I thought it was missing some things so I added a few bricks, wrote all the places I've lived and washed the entire page with an off white paint which is what really helped in my opinion.

I also added some shimmer to a few of the windows and flowers.  

Journal ~ Favorite Foods

I'm working a little, well more like a lot, out of order on the Journal 52 prompts.  This one is from Week 32: Favorite Foods. Cupcakes aren't my favorite food, I don't really have one, but they are my favorite to make.

 I had some trouble with this page and had to start it all over.  Can you see the image of the woman above?  Well, that is my grandmother who taught me a lot about baking.  I wanted to include her image and decided to try a new to me technique, gel medium image transfer.  It didn't work as well as I wanted it to but in the end I like how the page turned out.

 I cut along the edge of the page in the shape of the cupcakes.  You can see the next page peeking through.  

Medusa Candy Jar

 It's October!  Time to share Halloween goodies!

This one was so much fun to make.  It's a Medusa themed candy jar using Alpha Stamps products.

Wouldn't this be Awesome filled with Gummy Worms!  I mean after all that is the closes one is going to get to the Essence of Medusa this Halloween.

 And there is no way you can open/look at a Medusa Candy Jar directly to you must use the mini mirror provided.  

 The topper is a paper clay skull and crossbones.

This was so much fun to make and I know it will be even more fun to have out on the counter filled with Candy this Halloween Season.  

It is available in my Etsy store.
