Tiddly Inks Blog Hop - Halloween in July!!!!

YAY!!! It's finally here!  I've been waiting and waiting for this blog hop because Halloween in one of my favorite times of year!  I love getting my kids dressed up and painting their faces!!  Anyhow, Tiddly Inks is having a blog hop.  You have to create a project/card using a Tiddly Inks digital image.  I have to be honest I only knew about Tiddly Inks images because of Donna Mundinger.  She got me hooked, so be sure to check her blog as well - she's extremely talented.
I had so much fun with this!  I wanted to use as many of their cute images as I could - in all 5!!!  You might be wondering how five!  Well take a look at this wall hanging I did for my girls for Halloween.  In the picture frame is cute little Annie - Annie's Prezzie
I used a number of cartridges and embellishments too!  Stretch Your Imagination for the trees, keyhole is from Gypsy Wanderings, the table is from Celebrations - it's actually a cake plate, and the frame is from Mini Monograms.  Oh, also the window on the front door is supposed to be a lemon slice from Just Because Cards.  The bowl is from My Kitchen.  Now you might ask yourself where the other images are???  Well the door bell is ringing - DING DONG
TRICK OR TREAT!!!!
The four images from left to right  are Higgelty, Alice in Time for Tea,  Bug - Peek A Boo Bugg and Batty.  All images were colored with Prisma colored pencils and blended using baby oil.  I started by making the inside of the house.  The door was made on George with just squares and rectangles.  I scored the door frame with my Martha Stewart score board.  Once I had the door in place on my top layer, I cut out the doorway and then placed my Tiddly Ink characters in position on the paper behind.  Once they were layered, I placed the inside on the top of the outside sheet and glued it down.  Lastly, I embellished and made the tiny wreath over the door with rafia and some cute spider buttons.  This project was so fun, and honestly it's part of why I haven't done anything else lately.  It's been on my mind since the blog hop info. was mentioned!!!  Make sure to head over to Tiddly Inks for the blog hop - the artistry from the people who are part of the hop will be amazing!!!  I hope you enjoy - I did!!!
