Wordless Wednesday

My World Tuesday

 

Our World Tuesday

 

HAHAHAHAHA!

JUST KIDDING!

this is what it really looks like:

The first is what it looked like a week ago.

The second was my drive up to where I am working this week.

I counted 17 vehicles in the ditch and one semi, destroyed.

So grateful for my 4x4.

 

Be safe, be warm, wherever you be.



Day of the Dead

It just so happens that the theme for both
Collage Obsession
and
Tag Along
this week is
DAY OF THE DEAD.

I used an embossing folder, die cut of the umbrella man,

alcohol inks to colour the flashing tape that I covered the tag with.
Flashing tape is by Home Depot.

The number 

(and all the elements previously mentioned) are by Ranger.

Our lovely

Dias los Muertos

doll is by Xquizart

Not A Creature Was Stirring...

In the midst of all this

Halloween madness

the Belles over at

some kind of a
CREATURE on it.

The creatures are by Cajoline.

Can you hear them stirring?

What does your card look like?

Challenge #168: Something for the Man in Your Life

Poobah Chat Noir at The Order of the Opus Gluei

is hosting our new challenge and it's a doozie:

Make something For the Man in Your Life.

I whipped something up real quick, 

so that I could go out and find me a man to be in my life.

Naah, that's not true.

I love my life.

I work with 80 clients and 

a team of 20 staff and all except one are men.

That's enough, thank you!

But then I got to thinking...

Hmmm, I'll leave the rest up to you.

You have until the end of Saturday, November 2

to link up with us.

The Order of the Opus Gluei

There are all SORTS of things you can do with this challenge!

We'll be looking forward to seeing what you create!

(Credits for mine are Hidden Vintage Studios and Bluesse.)

Pink Christmas - For the Cure

the Jingle Belles

have invited us, through their awesome challenge blog,
 to create a card which is

Pink - For The Cure

For every newly made holiday card that is

Pink

the Belles will donate $4.00 towards the

Susan G. Komen Foundation

in support of finding a cure for breast cancer.

I made one:

using a beautiful image by The Graphics Fairy.

Also, I made a (partially) pink card for their last challenge,

but never got it posted in time. 

I'm not sure if it will count, but here it is:

If you haven't played along with the 

Jingle Belles Christmas card challenges yet,

now is the perfect time to start.

Make a Pink Card for the Cure and link up!

Message in a Bottle

for The Three Muses

I made a card...

I'm not sure what the message is exactly.

I'll leave that to you...

Be safe tonight.

Hehhehehe...

Warning! Adult Content!

(or scary, at least)

I went to our annual Zombie Walk on the weekend.

I was early and so was a zombie, with his zombie children.

I asked him if I could take his photo

and he happily agreed.

As I was focusing, through the viewfinder,

I stared and lowered my camera and said

"Jesse?"

And it was a guy I've known for years!

The moral of the story is,

You never know what you're friends are doing when you're not around.

Meet Jesse:

He's my friend.

Sometimes dead is better.

Bwahahahahaaa!!!!

(PS.  He asked me to take his photo with his cellphone and it

was all covered with red sticky stuff.

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.)

This is for
Tuesday One World
I'll bet it's the only zombie you see.
(the only REAL one, at least)

Thanks for coming by!

Mandarin Monday

Just for fun, I thought I would make something for

Mandarin Monday

Why not?

You should go to.

And thanks for stopping by!

I just don't have enough Halloween stuff on here!

Weekend Reflection

This was an easy one.

For Weekend Reflection

I new the photo I wanted, drove over there,

parked and walked to the perfect (sort of) spot.

I couldn't get any closer, cus the entire area is still closed due to the flood.

I feel sad, the whole park was destroyed by our disaster, 

and I would normally be there taking photos of the glorious fall foliage.

On the other hand, it's forced me to find other areas as spectacular.

If you would like to see my home in colour, check this out:

Out In My Truck 

See you at

Weekend Reflection 

And thanks for taking the time to stop by!

The Weekend in Black and white

If there is anything this weekend is NOT,

it's Black and white.

Having said that, I love

and have no intention of missing out!

Thanks for your visit.

Have a funny week, my friends.

Black Cat

  Sunday Postcard Art

I don't know why I didn't go crazy with a Halloween theme, 

you'd think I would since I love it so much.

But this is what I ended up with.

Thanks for Lisa's Altered Art, Bluesse, 

and Holliewood Studios for the elements.

Weekend in Black and White

Maybe not the best photo, but I think Moose(s) are pretty cool.

Teenage moose especially, which is what this one is.

Unless of course you hit one with your truck.

That's bad.

Very bad.

And these evenings as I drive home, I am paying attention 

very closely for yellow eyes along the sides of the highway.

There have been two vans smashed in by the side of the 

road on the route home in the last week.

Folks don't survive those collisions.

But they sure are cool-looking animals.  

It's like Creator just put all the leftover parts from 

when he made all the other animals and 

smooshed them together and got a moose.

You don't believe me?

Well, google moose images.  You will.

Have a funny day.

Unless of course, you have other plans.

Something Wicked This Way Comes

Sky for Photo Art Friday

This is for the monthly challenge at 

Pixel Dust Studio

The theme is SKY:

The photo is my own, I've added two textures by 

Bonnie Zeiman, 

"Serve Life" and "You Framed Me".

I love her textures.

Thanks for coming by.

Counting the days until the weekend is here....

My Dream View

for this week's

Collage Obsession

If I could be anywhere but here right now, 

I would love to be on the east side of Canada,

 in Nova Scotia, where the autumn colours are so spectacular, 

they actually have a "Leaf Watch" report 

that lets you know what the colours are when.

How cool is that?

It's on my bucket list.

It is NOT cheap to fly to the other side of Canada.

But one day...

 Elements used are by Bonnie Zeiman, Cryztal Rain,

Angela Chang, Doris Castle.

Patchwork Quilt

This month's challenge theme at

Soartful Challenges  is

Patchwork Quilts/Multi-Colours

What fun!  

I have oodles of quilts around my home, cus I used to

be a quilter, but I've also been wanting to do a LO

with some tiny replicas on my digital art.

And I had a plan in my head.

It just seems like a shame sometimes
 to have all my lovely little piecs of art,

 just sitting on the puter

where no one ever sees 'em.

It's kind of a quilt, right?

I hope you will link up with us, you have a whole month to do so!

Right up until Saturday, November 2nd, to join in!
We look forward to seeing your projects!

Rule of Three

The Three Muses Challenge blog 

is celebrating 4 1/2 years of artistic spenderifiousness!

Go and give them a High-Five, will you?

They bring all sorts of artisitc magic to our bloggy lives every single week!

And so do you, BTW.
