ADFD It's All About Fall

WooHoo, I'm excited to be playing in the A Day For Daisies All About Fall challenge.  The images are so sweet and innocent and because the DT was showcasing favorite images from year's past I decided to use the first ADFD image I ever saw which led me to Tammy's magnificent digis.  It's called Fall Fun and is unfortunately retired but I still love it to death, don't you?  The image is colored with Copics and cut and matted with my Spellbinders Labels Seventeen.  I've added a Memory Box die cut grapevine wreath to the corner and teeny punched leaves.  The gorgeous DP is from K&Co mat stack and the strip of burlap ribbon gives it a rustic feel.  It's finished off wth some Card Candy.

I'm also entering this in the Outlawz Twisted Thursday Fall Colors Challenge, Glitter and Sparkle Autumn Colors,  My Sheri Crafts Fall/Thanksgiving, Stampin' for the Weekend Autumn/Fall Colors, Wags 'n Whiskers Fall Colors, 613 Avenue Create ATG, and TTRCD Nov 5-11 ATG.

Macabre Monday Hacked to Bits Challenge (and Various Mother's Day Challenges...YIKES!) WARNING! Possibly Offensive!

Okay, before we even go there. I need to do a bit of a disclaimer. I was having a bit of a challenge with my Macabre Monday Hacked to Bits Challenge when I remembered this adorable image from Limited Runs Stamps. Little Madison with Hatchet, one of the Grimms, reminded me a bit of Lizzie Borden so...well, there ya go. What followed was a bit of my twisted humor which in no way reflects my opinion of my own Mom, or any Mom I know or have ever known so I really don't hope to offend here. Please blame the humor on WAY too much wine at Sunday Brunch and please forgive. The image included a collection of 6 of the images which I resized, then copied an pasted, until I got 54 of the little dears and then trimmed it down to 40. Then I made the computer generated sentiment and overstamped the whole shebang using the by Smeared Ink Inky Dreams Set in Aged Mahogany Distress ink. The sentiment was cut and matted using Nesties Labels Seventeen. I actually tried to hack my original attempt with an axe but it sort of made a mess, so instead I blew up the single Madison with Hatchet image and cut out just the hatchet to add to the front. The lovely roses are by Recollections from M's. Mom's Love roses!

Just in case you can't see some of the 40 little Madisons, here's a close up. Love doing my own DP! HeeHee!

And the beginning of the little Lizzie poem...

Now here's where I might be skating on thin ice. To whom would you send such a card? Well, all I could think about was Mother's Day, so here's the inside sentiment. Hoping I'm not going to lose followers over this! Check out s0me more Hacked to Bits Inspiration HERE AND because there are quite a few Mother's Day challenges out there I thought I'd stir up the pot a bit. (Besides, I've been dared by another of the Minions so ...) I'm also entering this in the following Mother's Day challenges (I'm not ALWAYS like this ladies, really, I'm not!): Simon Says Stamp, Mother's Day or Girly 2nd entry, Stampin'for the Weekend, One Stitch at a Time, Craft your Days Away, and I'm thinking I better quit while I'm ahead. Most are UK blogs and I'd hate to have my passport revoked.
