Happy Halloween! that means....

We need to start crafting for Christmas! LOL So I already did and I am sharing a project I made this week. These are altered scrabble tiles added to an admission ticket that I designed on my computer and then punched. To use it as an ornie or gift tag all you do is punch a hole at the top and add ribbon.

THANK YOU FOR ALL THE EMAILS AND WORDS ENCOURAGEMENT THEY REALLY MEAN A LOT!! Some of you have encouraged me to go on Oprah! ROFL!! that is too cute, isn't it wonderful to dream?? I do it all the time. NOW let me tell you I have visited some of your blogs and felt ashamed!! Your work is AMAZING!!

Baby It's Cold Outside... and the Witches are still Hot!

I decided to make something Winter/Christmas theme, there are way too many witches roaming around my house lately... LOL So here we have a Vintage/Victorian flair altered journal with 2 adorable girls on a sled I added some chipboard embellishments as you can see.
Then we have another another Journal/ frame set I made with a little goth girl witch with bat wings sitting on a pumpkin and her black cat next to her. Both items have my "signature" LOL teastained grunge tag and a skeleton key.
Listed on ebay under HOMESPUNBARN.
Enjoy!

Wicked Frame!

Hey there!
Want to share with you this idea I came up with very late last night!
It is a wooden frame and I decided to make it so that it matches the
journal, I love it!
Let me know what you think... Listed on Ebay under Homespunbarn.
Enjoy!!!!!!

A Journal?

LOL, here yet another one, I really enjoy making these. I love the "stiching" and the background paper, they look so real specially when you touch it as I use linen textured card stock, it almost feels like leather.
I will be listing this one on ebay.
ENJOY!

A big Thank You! & Happy Birthday to Me!

It was an honor to see my blog listed as one of the Sunday's Best from The Queen of Good Intentions Blog, check it out her blog is filled with lots of useful information.

Yes today is my Birhtday, not a good day! LOL
WOW! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? Bright colors on my blog???
So here are a few pictures of some Halloween crafts I made in the past. They are more on the cutesy side instead of the vintage/primtive look you are used to see in my projects. I think that was one of my first tins if not the first one. Some chocolate bars and a frame I altered.
Enjoy!

Wicked Witch Journal (SOLD)

Hello, wanted to share a journal I made with the famous Wicked Witch from the Wizard of Oz. Pretty cool, huh? It has been raining here in UT non stop this weekend and that put some of my projects on hold... so for now enjoy!
DON'T FORGET TO LEAVE A COMMENT, I LOVE TO READ THEM!

Vintage Halloween Spooky Witches Altered Journal and Tin

Good Morning!
First of all THANKS to those who took the time to comment or write me an email letting me know how much you liked the blog, I REALLY APPRECIATE IT! It truly makes my day, I hope you keep coming back....:O)
Here is another journal and tin. This time I used a child image, the girl has bat wings giving her more of a goth look. She is sitting on a huge pumpkin and next to her, her black cat. I made the cover of the journal look like a "Book of Spells" for Little Witches and the Roman numbers at the bottom are 1692.
The tin has the image of the Old Crones and as you can see the inside was also covered, I love how this vintage looking label and the word Salem look together,also each tin has a picture of the "Society Members", 6 different witches. Both the journal and the tin adorned with one of my bottle cap tags and a Skeleton key. Both listed on ebay...
Enjoy!

RETRO VINTAGE HALLOWEEN TAGS

I made these yesterday and love their clean lines and simple look, and they fit so nicely inside the little tin.
Enjoy!
