Rock and Shock

This weekend in Worcester, MA, is the annual Rock and Shock Convention where both horror movie and heavy metal aficionados get together to create mayhem (kidding!). My husband has a table that he shares with Mark M. They sell various items and Mark draws zombie portraits of people for a very reasonable price. Michael is selling black wrist bands with I Hate People on them. I made some skull earrings and GF Kim made the coolest cards. Don't you especially love the 13 card? She made a whole series of them and each one is cooler than the next. Here is a shot of the display on a tree from Ikea.

That is Juliet sitting on the window ledge.

new addiction

My latest addiction is animoto. Free, 30 second videos. My sister will kill me as I have a shot of her eating pho (soup). I am considering the paying version because I can make longer videos and include actual video clips.

Halloween Cards

Just loved this class! Donna is patient and organized and extremely creative. We blended alcohol inks and then heat set them. Then we stamped on the bird and then glittered. Messy but fun! We masked the cat stamp after embossing it so the lamp looks like it is glowing. I love that effect. I also really like the look that embossing gives to pretty much anything.

I bought the spooky bird stamp but the cat with the lamppost is on order. That gives me another excuse to drive back down to Stafford Springs and visit Inspiration Station.

Donna is teaching the Xmas printer's tray on the Sunday after Thanksgiving and I think that I will sign up for that one too.

Halloween Card Class tonight

Tonight, I head back to Inspiration Station in Stafford Springs for a class on Halloween cards by the same teacher, Donna, who taught the printer's tray class. So, I'm very much looking forward to it.

Also, very excited about the customer tag sale that I went to on Sunday, also at Inspiration Station. I am especially glad that I went with BFF Kim, who is an expert shopper. She found me a Sizzix. I am just thrilled to have one. I also picked up a Xyron. And stamps galore!!!

We also found a great little coffee shop, Middle Ground Cafe, right on Main Street in Stafford Springs. This town is becoming my new hangout so definitely needed a coffee shop!

I'll upload a shot of my card for the tea bag and card swap that I'll be sending out this weekend. I'm still looking for a spooky tea; thinking maybe licorice!

Printers Tray

Made this in a class with Donna at Inspiration Station. She was so nice and helpful and encouraged everyone to personalize the trays. They all ended up just a little bit different.

Now, my husband wants us to make one that would be all horror movies produced by his friend Richard Gordon. More on that later.
