We have lots of exciting news at WMS today - First - Claire has added another terrific designer to our team! I am so thrilled to welcome Mona Pendleton to the group - I'm sure you know her and her awesome creativity! - please welcome her when you visit her blog below!
Secondly - it's Saturday and time for another Waltzingmouse Sketch challenge! There were some great cards made last week from a very tricky sketch - this weeks design is a little bit easier I think - do you? Here it is:
and our third exciting thing today is that many of the DT are sneak peeking two fun new Halloween sets that will be available at Claire's WMS shop next Tuesday!
I'm using a stamp from the set called Wanda's Pantry on my project today. Whoo hoo! If you love Halloween - you're gonna love this set! There are all sorts of ghoulish creepy labels and images in it! I decided to make a little treat box rather than a card.
See the label ??? it reads - Partially Decomposed Fingers - and look at the fun gummy fingers I found to go inside my box!!! Creepy eh?? (They're called Gummy Flesh Fries and they come packaged in a french fry wrapper like at McDonalds!) They taste pretty good too (as long as you don't think of them as really being what they are shaped like - DH won't even try one!!!) To make my container - I took a small gable box, covered it with panels of spooky DP and sponged all the edges!
Here's a little close up of the label and the fingers! That's a 'bloody' tip on the end of them there in case you couldn't figure that out (!) I stamped the label once on white and once on orange - then punched out the 'fingers' part and layered it over the white label.
For those of you playing with the sketch this week - check out the other DT samples on the challenge blog - make your sketch card and get it posted on Mr. Linky by Thursday 7/29/10 at 11:59 pm EST
