RETRO STIR FRY!

Good evening, dear readers! I have a simply new ETSY purchase from Scrap Fu to share with you...I am always astounded at the creativity of the independent artist! Check this out:

Besides being amazingly fun eye candy, THIS, my friends, is the kind of stuff AltAred Art is made of! I'll be sure to post whatever it is I create with these fun, retro supplies!

More soon! PEACE OUT!

FRIDAY FIND: Posie & Me

Just look at these delicious confections...all handsewn and made out of felt! Aren't they truly mouthwatering?

Yet another Etsy Shop!

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Greetings fellow zombies and other spooktacular types! Here's another layout with the Halloween theme...I do my digital scrapbooking using Adobe Photoshop Elements...and in this layout I was playing around with the light filter. The "haunted house" is actually city hall in Hartford City, Indiana! My sister and I were on a day jaunt, (looking for an elusive covered bridge) and found this wonderfully eerie place sitting in the town square. I remember thinking at the time, "Wow...that would make a good haunted house!" So I snapped the picture.

Also, to help me get into the spirit of things, I've made another Etsy Purchase: BEHOLD THE MUMMY!

BOO!
Oh whatever... I didn't scare you.
I'm too cute to be scary. Anyways... Mortimer the Mummy used to work in a library. Now he ROAMS THE COUNTRYSIDE.... hoping no one unravels him!

A complete backstory with each little character...you've just gotta LOVE the wonderfully wacky artists at Etsy! Mortimer is supposed to be a finger puppet...but because I have little cause to wear a mummy on my finger, I'm sporting him as a pin. He's 2" tall and amazingly detailed. Nicole, I am in awe of such nimble fingered talent!

And, OH! Speaking of MORTIMER, it's time to watch one of my favorite movies of all time, Frank Capra's "Arsenic & Old Lace". Cary Grant is a GORGEOUS, zany leading man...who is the nephew of two spinster aunts who ... uh... like to share their home brewed elderberry wine with the "gentleman callers" that come to see them. Check it out at IMDB!

And look at this groovy wallpaper I found at digital blasphemy:

And finally, my greatest halloween find thus far: (fanfare, mistro!)

TOFU: THE VEGAN ZOMBIE

I have been violently ill for the past 3 days...and so my blog has been put on hold...as have my creative endeavors. I have been too sick to even THINK about creating...however, I have used the time to forage along the web and find some very groovy items that I think you might find cool...I ordered this from Etsy...it's even more fab in real life...

Unico Creations

AND check this out:

Peace loving monk that I am, (my monkpage) I am all for doing ANYTHING besides "making war"...even BAKING! I just disovered Johnny Cupcakes...I don't watch MTV so little did I know he and his "garb" have become something of a "celebrity" in the Rock World.

I also found this way cool website: Sprout Home

They have all kinds of neat housewares like this plate:
Also things like this "Gnome-In-The-Box" which you could spend the rest of your life searching for:

Now aren't you glad you checked out my blog today?

Hey, if you think about it, say a prayer for my recovery...also, as YOU are foraging through the web, when you happen to come upon some things that are just TOO COOL to be kept to yourself, clue me in! Leave a comment here or you can get my email addy from my profile!

Cheers!
