From Halloween Zombies to Christmas Brownies!
Filed under Art Projects, Collage Sheets, Featured Artwork, Gifts/Decorations, Giveaways, Halloween, Newsletters, Sale, Tim Holtz
Note: most of the links on this post no longer work, as we moved to a new Web site in 2018. However, you can see the supply list items from Teri’s project that are still available on the new site.
What a jam-packed newsletter! We’re ping-ponging from Halloween Zombies to Christmas Brownies — and check out the cute artwork from the recent Black Bird Swap, hosted by Caroline Ouzts-Hay in the Gallery! (And the preview at right is by Sue Van Landingham!)
Reminder: Because of the new Tim Holtz tag from Thursday’s Newsletter, I’ve put the ENTIRE Tim Holtz Products Section On Sale! Over 300 products (and that includes a couple New Christmas items below)! Catch ’em quick ’cause the sale ends TODAY, Sunday, October 12th! 
How sweet, Teri Calia is sharing pictures of her family with us today!
To show off her adorable, My Creepy Relatives, Teri created 2 New Collage Sheets: Creepy Cabinet Cards and Spooky Cabinet Cards. (And since the Halloween Sale is still going on, both are On Sale!) Teri used the Black Resin Gothic Halloween Frame Set with background papers from the Spooky 12×12 Collection Kit for each photo. It is so lovely that Teri would want to share her family with all of us.
“There’s Cousin Phaedra who’s a bit of a clothes horse… just look at her hat and fur. She wouldn’t be caught dead without them.” Hee!
I happen to know that Phaedra’s perfectly applied red lipstick is drawn on with Copic Sketch Marker – Lipstick Red.
Feel free to peruse Teri’s Supply List before you join Teri for a cup tea and family gossip over at her blog.
Next we have a delightful Christmas Brownie Plaque by Design Team Coordinator Miz Bella (Kim Ayers). Bella says:
I embossed the New! Spellbinders Embossing Folder – Merry Christmas image using the Vintaj Silver Foil Sheets, then cut the image out. Laid image on a craft mat and then used the Vintaj Patina in Aged Bronze over it (from the Metal Patinas – Ancient Coin set), rubbing it around with my finger. Used a paper towel to remove some of the excess patina and then after it fully dried I used the Metal Reliefing Block over the raised part of image.
Then I decorated the embossed tree with images from the Holiday Brownies Rubber Stamp Set (including one Brownie riding an Oh Deer Resin Charm!), Miniature Pinecone Picks and Platinum Stickles.
Too cute! Hey, speaking of Brownies, don’t forget there are quite a few of them in the Goblin Labels Collage Sheet from the October Goblins Kit. And Lora Mahaffey made good use of those Brownies on her project from last Thursday’s Newsletter (see photo at right).
AND, don’t forget there’s still a FREE Gift kit available: Ghoulish Green Bead & Charms — and check today’s Giveaway (below) for a bunch of new items put on Clearance Sale!

I just saw Teri’s “Creepy Relatives” on her blog. It is thanks to Teri that I discovered Alpha Stamps. I have placed a couple of orders for Halloween themed items and tried my hand at two altered altoid tins recently using those supplies.
