Dr Who Halloween

 As all self confessed Dr Who Nerds we all co-ordinated our Halloween costumes as Dr 10 and 11, the tardis and the weeping angel. It was a wet night here in Ireland and the street party we were going to was cancelled which means no one was dressed up when we went out, it's not like I could hide 3 1/2 foot wings!

A colony of bats

I was crafting with Trail of Destruction and had some left over black paper so decided to cut a few bats out after seeing it done on pinterest. I love it so much I don't think it's coming down, because just the centre of the bat is stuck to the wall the wings move and it makes them look like they are flying!

Spoooooky Halloween decoration

Well you hardly thought I was going to say Christmas decoration. The final week is upon us now and the last minute dash to costumes is being made as well as complete changes (a little 3 year old with KISS makeup, too fricking  cute!) I bought this die off Felicia http://scrapzville.blogspot.ie/ when I met her in Athlone this month and was waiting until I got some time to do it. It happened I was passing my desk and it lured me in like a siren calling. Before I knew it I was wrist deep in black paint and wondering what had happened. The delicate little gate kept falling over,  Eli kept pulling off the gates so I had to hot glue it to some grey board and covered it with some cardboard shavings, sprayed a bit and stuck down with PVA. I love the hand sticking out of the garden and the minute hand on the fimo clock is... a hand. Cracks me up :)

Thanks for looking!

Chillingworth Manor Halloween Album 2013

In Athlone recently I saw an album made with this paper pack and knew it would be perfect for the Halloween album I wanted to make. Using the Stack the deck method I bound black paper and made each page like an envelope so I could put paper mat's in between each. Lots of glossy accents and glitter... and that was just on my face and Eli's hands... *note to oneself- find out what to do with grunge paper

Halloween House *photo heavy

Ah Halloween, the air is crisp, the leaves are crunchy and children easily scared. A magical time of year!
I want to start a set of classy halloween decorations, classy being a word I don't use lightly! I bought 2 of these houses from Cardznscrapz as Christmas presents so had to forgo one for my project. I painted the edges with a silver dauber and then stamped with black script in versamark  and covered it in Chillingworth Manor paper *warning not every box or even both sides are the same so measure each side!
I bought the new Doc Who magazine because it had the Weeping Angel in it and needed somewhere to house her so it was all perfect! I used a few other bits I had lying around and added Peter the armless Skeleton, poor Peter can't remember where he left them. Don't you hate that!
I'll just put this up because my motion activated flashing neon skull heads, I did mention classy decorations didn't I?

So I've started my Halloween costume...

Using some help from this page click here I used air dry modelling paste on a silicone mask. Hope it dries now, I must have picked the biggest workload of a costume this year! Starting the wig next, each piece seems so epically long but this mask was scaring me at the thought of doing it! The mouth looks huge in this photo but I think it's just the angle I was at!

A halloween grey board duvet

I found a load of little Halloween pieces lying around while cleaning up so rather than finish cleaning I started crafting and made an even bigger mess! This is the Halloween version of the Christmas class I am holding next month in Athlone with Create with Kate CHA release party! Time to bring out Charles the Skeleton again (like he ever went away for the year!)
