There's something about Spring with Easter and all the cute baby animals that get me all warm and fuzzy. Seems I just can't stop flocking these days. LOL Here's a sweet one that Jezzie insisted I make. The adorable image is Chick and Kitten-Mama it's So Fluffy. With a name like that, how could I not flock? Got a chance to try out my new Spellbingers Grand Decorative Labels One to make this lacy shaped card. I cut a cut a Spellbinger's nested Egg twice and cut it to look like the chick had just hatched. and added some time punched flowers and a little bow.
Here's a closeup of the image. TOOO cute! The kitty was flocked with white, the chick, printed again on yellow, fussy cut and flocked with yellow. As you can see, the shading I've done on the images with my Copics still shows through.
Today is a special day for the Aurora Wings FB group. We're celebrating 800+ members so hope you can stop by and play along with the contests to win fabulous images that will be going on all day HERE. And there's still time to join in our very first Blog challenge HERE. Hope to see you there.
I'm entering this in the following challenges:
Sparkle and Sprinkle April Challenge, DLArt Thankful Thursday Easter, Milk Coffee Easter, Sparkles Monthly Challenge Easter Parade, Crafting For All Seasons Dies and Punches, Crafting With Dragonflies Easter, Divas By Design Easter/Spring, Simon Says Wednesday Happy Easter, Outlawz Saturday Paper a la Mode Animals, Cuttin' and Stampin' Rainbows/Easter, 613 Avenue Create Sights/Sounds/Smells/Tastes of Spring, Crafty Cardmakers You've Been Framed and the Just For Fun Easter Challenge.
WooHoo! We're BAAACK! It's a brand New Year and Macabre Mondays are up and running again at Haunted Design House with a new look and new fortnightly (meaning bi-weekly, but isn't fortnightly infinitely more posh?) format and being on Team B, I get to procrastinate and check out Team A's stuff before I even have to think about mine. Me likey! Better yet, to ease into this our challenge is a perenniel fave, Freaker's Free for All, which means Anything Goes (as long as it's not overtly cute, because frankly, that makes us all toss our cookies).

Ahhh, 2013! A time for new beginnings and a crapload of good intentions that pretty much get tossed aside by Feb, but in the interest of at least documenting my failures, I've decided to start a little New Year's Resolution Journal so I can look back and see how I've failed miserably at the end of the year. Let's start with the Resolution I make every year, shall we? You think I'm kidding here? Ah well...nope! My deadline used to be Valentine's Day, but last year I reached a new low. Thank God for fake trees or we wouldn't even be having this discussion. In my defense, I'm generally still putting stuff up as the doorbell rings on Christmas Eve so it's not like stuff has been up since before Thanksgiving, and the lights are so damn pretty and...well anyway, THIS YEAR IT'S GOING TO BE DIFFERENT. I have to admit, it sorta cramps my style and I'm fairly embarrassed to have people over or open the door for the UPS guy after a certain number of weeks. I've used (quite appropriately) a Creepmas image from Rick St. Dennis called "I Got Decoratin' to Do" and she was a ball to color with Copics. Dig the leopard knickers, whadda ya think? She's enlisted the help of some friendly bats from the Smeared Ink Bats with Garland- Gothic Christmas that comes individually and as a set and a couple of martinis. Oh oh, I sense another Resolution coming somewhere down the road... The DP is from the ancient K& Co Christmas Cheer stack that I loved so much in 2009 that I bought a bazillion pads of it. Time to start using that puppy, eh?
So that's my first project of the New Year at HDH. Feels so good to get my creep back on. Please visit the Blog to see the rest of Team B's fab projects HERE as well as the stellar offerings from Team A HERE. And don't forget, there's still time to link up your dark, creepy or Gothic projects and let the Minions faun all over your fabulous talent. Now that you've got 2 whole weeks, there's no excuse.
I'm also entering this in the Sparkle and Glitter with Rick St. Dennis New Beginnings Challenge, the Milk Coffee New Beginnings challenge, Corrosive Challenges Out with the Old (in this case the DP) and the Glitter n Sparkle Use a Digi Challenge.
