Sept. Pocket for your thoughts swap *Halloween

 Pocket for your thoughts swap at yourpaperpantry.ning.com. Were to make three 5X7 pockets and enclosed at least four tags. Here is my take and creations. As seen in the photos, pretty much self explanitory. However, I want to point out that on the cover of the pocket is a sign that says turn back. That sign was created to be a pocket and that pocket is holding that poison tag.
 As you can see, turn back sign is a pocket. That is a poison tag I created.

 These are the tags I inserted in the pocket. We were to create at least four tags.
I have to admit, this is my favorite tag. This is a mixed media tag. Love my mixed media. I wish the picture turned out better. Picture sure didn't do this tag justice. Take my word on it. This is a neat tag. Believe I will make many more. So for the most part, this is my first "pocket for your thoughts" swap I have participated in and sure hope the ladies that recieves these will appreciate them.

Sept. Tag Bag swap: Halloween poison bags. YPP


Tag bag swap at yourpaperpantry.ning.com: halloween theme. We were to incorporate something with poison on it and add some sweets to it. I created the base. You can't see it but behind the candy for the card base is of a skeleton hand holding onto a poison bottle. Then to create the bag or pocket to hold the candy, I wanted something more than acetate. I wanted the halloween feel to it so I used wax paper. Then hand stitched around to close. I created the poison tags. Each comes with two tags at which are different but still fitting the poison theme. I then created a poison bottle. The contains in these bottles is black acrylic paint and glossy accents. On the bottle I placed a poison label to complete the look. Also attached to the bottles are two poison labels I created into tiles and attached all to the tag bag using black twine thread. Hope the ladies enjoy this project. I sure did. I believe these came out adorable and I can't wait to see what the other ladies created. Well time to get these to the post office.   *God Bless*

Halloween pumpkin-mouse paper piecing

Some more paper piecing. The pumpkin and mouse created, paper pieced and chalked by hand. Love this technique but so time consuming. I couldn't resist the cute little mouse idea. Love this time of year. Halloween and Thanksgiving right around the corner.

Halloween bears paper piecing

Just a couple of cute little bears that I paper pieced in some Halloween outfits. Not as time consuming once I start getting the hang of things. I incorporated these bears onto a belly band I used on a card. Super adorable.
