Creepy crawly blog hop...

Thursday, October 28, 2010

Wahaha... welcome to my lair! Did I scare you?

This creepy little blog hop is all about showcasing what you can do for Halloween when you don't have a cupboard full of Halloween products! Imaginisce haven't put out a Halloween collection this year but that doesn't mean that you can't use Imaginisce products to produce some amazing projects to go Trick or Treating!
I have created a spooky mask for my daughter as she just loves all things purple and black (at the moment), and she even has a big black fluffy spider to cuddle on her bed (strange I know). The mask is made from purple and black cardstock and I've hand drawn the web and doodles with white gel pen and I've used my Imaginisce i-rock to adhere the crystal hot-rocks.
How fun are these new Roly Rosies from Imaginisce... sheets of die-cut shapes in gorgeous colours and patterns that you roll up with the new Petal Roller to create these beautiful flowers. Takes no time at all and the results are fabulous flowers with little effort! I've also cut some paper leaves using 'Water Words' from the Splash Dance collection.

Last but not least, my fuzzy little spiders... how did I make these you ask? Well my i-top of course, and a black face-washer with a couple of googlie eyes and paper legs from 'To Love & Cherish'. Not a Halloween product in site and yet I created a fun Halloween mask using lots of Imaginsice tools and paper!

Now don't forget that today one lucky follower will have the chance to win an i-top with accessories just for following along with this little blog hop! The rules... you have to leave a message on each of the blogs and then finish at the Imaginisce blog with one final message... how easy is that? Good luck and thanks for crawling past! Wahahahah
From farm to you...

    My favourite colour is PURPLE too. I am in the process of coordinating everything on my scrapdesk with that colour. Wish I would of seen this and had an i-top and i-Rock because I just finished a Mardi Gras mask swap. Masks are so much fun to make. Thanks for sharing.
