Hi everyone, For this month's paper clip, I wanted the feel of a pirate ship flag to match the pirate's Costume that this Santoro Gorjuss Mini Stamp No-49 Piracy. My theme this month was Halloween, so I tried to achieve a little girl dressed in her pirate costume "being brave" enough to go up to that scary looking house to ask for the mother of all candy loot *lol* The background was achieved by stencilling with paint (Dyan Reaveley Blue) and white acrylic paint. I used 2 stencils. To achieve the flag ship look, I added bits of hessian, cord, and ribbon around the periphery using a mini stapler. The haunted house is a die-cut using this Haunted house thinlets die by Sizzix: I hope you enjoyed this month's video.

Hi everyone, It's October and predictably, I have decided on a Halloween theme for my Gorjuss Mini Art Journal October spread. The stamp I chose this month is No.49 - Piracy and I teamed her up with Stamp No.50 Jar of Hearts  and Stamp No. 3 The Pretend Friend. Yes! 3 stamps this month!! The background technique this month is a technique called Paint Resist. I used both the following stencils, one with black acrylic paint and one with white. To achieve this look. I then reached for this Thinlets Die by Sizzix called Trick or treat,  and in combination with a few pieces of ephemera from an older Tim Holtz Halloween kit, I was able to achieve a ver y spooky Trick or Treat scene that reminded me of that 1984 Stephen King horror movie - Children of the Corn. Here is the final layout. You can catch the process video HERE Thank you for stopping by today and happy halloween cra...
