October 31st and it's the last day for Halloween with Stampendous! Stop by the long list of inspiration at 31 Days of Halloween 2017 . Today I have a little masterpiece transformation for you! I wanted to create some creepy and as authentic looking apothecary jars as possible so I grabbed a kid's meal milk jug and vegetable juice container and searched the internet!  I came across these witches bottles by Magia Mia  and dead-end photos (the links went to a Pinterest that wasn't helpful), but I browsed the mixed media gallery at DecoArt Mixed Media Blog to get ideas. Here are the supplies and instructions for creating these transformed bottles.

If you love felines, papercrafting, or any feline themed projects then there is an incentive to read on and find out about a purrfect blog hop this week! A super sweet crafty blogger, Janis Woolbright, has been hosting the Cat Lovers Hop and for its third year starting today!!!! If you want to find out details or are just curious as a kitten about it, stop by Janis' blog at Her Peaceful Garden . The pre-hop information is here . Now for my project! I already had these Indigo Cats stamped and colored just waiting to be shared as a card. I actually stamped and colored them when I made  this card  back in February but for some reason never finished. For the hop I added the butterflies, and then colored them in with Copic markers (list of colors are below in my supplies and instructions section). Stampendous is joining the fun in a Friday post so stop by their blog for more cats later this week! They WILL be offering one set of the Laurel Burch Indigo Cat...

This blog post contains goodies I received for free from some of my favorite crafting companies. Hey there everyone! I'm back this week with another project in the 31 Days of Halloween Hop with Stampendous !  Last week I used this stamp set to create a background card with a hint of Halloween -- check it out  here . It was so subtle if you didn't read between the roses you wouldn't know it was a Halloween themed card! Hint - this set can be used any time of the year! This week I have a Stampendous Sugar Skull treat bag to share! I'm also using  Whisker Graphics  products from my wonderful stash that was given to the Stampendous design team on our last collaboration with them (here and here). Once I was done putting together the sugar skull focal piece I did giggle a bit as it reminded me of a Shakespearean ruff, so I affectionately call this a Spookespeare Treat Bag ! Hop along with Stampendous today for more inspiration! Here's ho...

It's a sneaky peek Friday! I'm hosting the Splitcoaststampers Mix-Ability Challenge this week with a card that I warned myself of a potential die cut mistake, but when I thought of how I'd fix it I decided to do it anyway! Yes, I talked myself into a mistake on this card. I'll tell you about it, but first I want to get to the challenge.
