Yum! Eyeballs in a Jar!

 Yep, it is almost time for that ghoulish holiday! When I saw Melissa's image of
a Jar of Eyeballs, I knew it would be perfect for my altered Frap bottle filled with eye ball gumballs!!!


To make this..I spray painted the lid of a Starbucks Frap bottle...I love these cold drinks!
I filled it w/ my gumballs and added this super cute tag made with a Meljen's Designs tag.



Hurry on over to the shop...you don't want to miss Melissa's 20% off sale:

A Little Masterpiece!

My first ever ATC! Of all the years I've been scrapbooking, crafting, and cardmaking...I had never made an ATC! So this challenge over at Meljen's Designs was so much fun for me!

New Meljen's Challenge!

Good morning!! I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July! Ours was sort of quiet. Stayed home with the hubby and he grilled burgers for us. I had one son working and the other lives away..so it was just our daughter and us. Guess that's what happens when the kids grow up. {{{sigh}}}.

I can't complain...it was a nice, relaxing day. Until my dryer stopped working. {{sigh}}. It runs, but doesn't heat. Not good for a dryer that's only 2 years old! Guess I'll be looking for a repairman today!

On a brighter note, today is the day for another fun challenge at Meljen's Designs. The theme for Challenge #117 is to use RED or BLUE. 


Card Details: Digi Image-Meljen's Designs, Senitment-Microsoft Works, Patterned Paper-My Mind's Eye, Misc. Machine Stitching, Buttons, Twine, and Stickles.

Thanks for stopping in today. I wish you a wonderful Thursday!
