Peacock Fae

"Miss Peacock" is (c) 2008 by Perfect Posers and can be found at Aussie Scraps (six tubes for $7.00). She kind of reminds me of my friend Rowena.

Rowena said "Yeah, the hair and the complexion...but she's got a lot more up top then I do!" Well...I'm sure flying around builds up the muscles in that area.

All three of these tags use kits by Scrappy Redhead that I bought on sale at Scrap Happiness. Redhead's designs are also on Sale at Digital Chaos, but I went with Scrap Happiness so I could snag the November freebie as well.



This is the "Beyond Time" taggers kit. It's a blue/green kit and I kind of pushed it toward the green end.

I added some scraps in from Redhead's contribution to the September Scrap Happiness freebie - the peacock pin, butterfly and white flowers came from that kit.



The shadows on the Fae in this one seem a bit heavy, but maybe that's just me. I guess if the lighting was from the bottom...

The scraps for the tag are from the "Blue Hydrangea" kit, but I didn't use any of the Hydrangea that came with it. They just weren't fitting in.

The diamond studed daisies worked out pretty good though.



Scraps are from the "Nothing but a Dreamer" taggers kit and I LOVE the Blue Jay feathers. (My mind was working on endless possibilities for those until I remembered the Blue Jays aren't in our Division anymore. Oh well.)

I haven't been able to work this Fae into any of the kitty cat tags...she seems a little more stuck up than her counterparts. I dunno. Maybe something with Miss Diamond...

I did sort of buy her though with the intention of using her in combination with Redhead's kits as the blues sort of compliment each other.

Scary Monster Movie Four Pack

Frankenstein is an absolute classic, so I figured we'd start there. Harley wanted to go green for Halloween.



I used Kathy Goldstein's What a Scream kit on this. Frank-N-Stein is © 2008 by Tiffany Kennedy at Scrappiles of Digi Style. The ribbon and ALL of the alphas in this four pack come from Free Digital Scrapbooking.

Next up we have Dr. Eric and Mr. Flynn, although I'm not sure where one starts and the other ends. The scraps were from Scrap Happiness Collab Freebie, except that the chalice - I couldn't find a potion bottle - is from Chaos Priestess' Magikal Workers kit and the Iron Skull button is from Creation by Jo's Dark Gothic kit. (Note: i just realized there IS a potion bottle in the Magikal Workers kit, but I'm too lazy to go back and change it. Maybe I'll do that later.)



If you don't think birds can be scary to cats, guess again. Miss Diamond often gets dive bombed, usually after she's raided a nest, and is force to seek shelter under a vehicle. Even the Veranda is not safe, they've been known to do fly throughs.



The background and the frame came from the Scrap Happiness Collab Freebie, one of the birds came from Scrappy Lover's Witchy Pooh kit, and the other bird came from something entitle MME_Puffy Felt Halloween Pack. A freebie from Digi-free, obviously, but...there's no other credit or TOS with it.

And last, but certainly not least...this could have been either the Hunchback of Notre Meep or the Meep from the Black Lagoon. I decided he looked better in green then he did swinging from a bell tower.



Again the Background, frame and vine are the Scrap Happiness October Collab Freebie, the spooky tree is from Creations by Jo's Fright Night kit and the Jack-O-Lantern is © 2008 by Carolyn McComas of Infinite Visions.

I'm still casting for the Headless Horseman and the Hound of the Baskervilles, so if you have any suggestions for a puddin' or a woofie to fill the roll drop me an e-mail.

Hope I didn't frighten you too much!

Midnight Monday

I was thinking of doing a collection of House Panther for this Thursday's T-13. I already have three (well four if you count Diamond) done. Here are a few more.

This first one I used on House Panthers for Stygia Sunday and as I'd already done one of Stygia last week, I didn't feel I should do another one.



This is uses the Dark Gothic taggers kits by Creations by Jo, combined with the Bone Alpha from Free Digital Scrapbooking. Stygia was getting her but nipped in the shot by her tabby sister, but I cropped that part out. :)



Mickey just turned 15 I think, not quite old enough to drive. He's still going strong though for a senior cat. Here he is lounging in one of the windows of Castle Diamond, the only place to be during the Howl-N-Scream season.

I used the Dusk Till Dawn kit from Scrappy Redhead combined with the Nettie B Scrapz Brushed Metal Alpha.

Tillie is Michey's little sister and she's ready for a night of dancing under the stars.



I used the Dancing in the Dark mini-kit by Scrappy Redhead, which is a freebie you can pick up at Scrap Happiness. The heart from however is from her Purple Passion Add-on. I like the inclusion of the fireflies, it's a nice change from dragonflies and butterflies. The Black Gold Alpha was a freebie from Bizee Digital Arts and is a bit of a nightmare as it came with two upper case Y but no lower case, and the upper case Z looks exactly like the upper case B.

I haven't done much with Batman so he seemed ot be a good candidate for a tag. I used the Gothic Rouge kit from Yarrow for this one, but the Batman ring comes for the compliled Halloween 3 kit from Efie. The theme for that kit was bats and she put every little bat thing she could dig up into it.



On a side note, Chaos Priestess is retiring, at least for a while, and as a result, all her kits are on major sale at Digital Chaos. While I'm happy for the sale, with pay day right around the corner, I'm not happy to see her retire, as she was one of my favorite designers.

A Pair of pairings

After due consideration, and taking into account that Minutes to Midnight was a taggers sized kit, I redid the pieces in 5 xy 7 format to print for my sister. She gets a kick out of Diamond, she thinks she's adorable.





Yes, Tris is holding the key to Diamond's heart but we had a minor scrimmage earlier this evening, so I don't think he'll be unlocking it anytime soon.

Meanwhile, Scrappy Redhead put out a new kit called Midnight Acquaintance and as always, the blues drew me in. That and the "butterfly" that kind of looks like a super chicken logo. I got the full sized kit, so both these pieces were done to 8 x 10.





This is a stand alone 5 x 7 that I did of Diamond using the same kit.



The nice thing about this is that if you buy it before the end of the September, you can download the September Collaboration kit from Scrap Happy for free. So you're basically getting two kits for the price of one, and one of those kits is supersized.

If you scroll down to the bottom of Scrap Happy, there's a couple of Mini-freebies from Scrappy Redhead as well, so it's worth the visit.

Switching back to the Halloween theme again....



Spider Cat, spider cat, does whatever a spider cat can...

This uses Gothik Vampire from Tizzy's Angel (of course!)

Anyway, that about wraps it up for me for tonight. For some reason I'm just really, really tired, so believe I will turn in early. ::yawn::

(I know, I know, I need something for Blue Wednesday in case Not the Mama can't do it...)
