November Kit Reveal Day at Scraps of Darkness Almost Here!

Here is a sneak peek at the November Scraps Of Darkness Kit.  

As November is the month for Thanksgiving in the US, I am thankful to the Scraps Of Darkness team for taking a chance on me. This will be my 6th month with SOD and working with these fun and innovative kits.    Can't believe this!  My how time flies.

Why innovative you ask?    What sets these kits apart from others?  Well, I think the kit add-ons are cool and different.   You can add a color option providing mists, inks, paints and masks that you perhaps would not be inclined to try.   The color add-on allows you to push yourself to a different level by experimentation.

You can also choose a coordinating paper add-on with papers that compliment the main kit but are totally different.  These papers take the kit in a completely different direction and  extend the kit to crazy levels.  I am absolutely enjoying the coordinating paper add-on.

SOD offers a technique add-on too.  The photo above features the Technique add-on.  Cool stuff and beadwork that I normally would not do.

The add-ons are just fun extras that help enhance the kits but are not required.  The main kit is packed with goodies for a month long fun-filled scrapping experience.

OK here's one more peek.

See you back here in 2 days!

Window to the Garden

Window to the Garden - creating using the Scraps Of Darkness oct Kit, All Hallows Eve.

My attempt with this is to show that the Scraps of Darkness kit papers may sound spooky and have a Halloween based theme, but can be used to show the beauty of a garden or the frailty of a butterfly.

This is called Window to the Garden.  Of course it's not my garden, it's the neighbor lady's garden.  But YOU already knew that! 

Could be a 6am or a 7am sprint over to her yard - snap snap snap - and a sprint back to mine for legal safety.  Probably closer to 6am since I figured she would not be out of bed yet peering out her back window for kooky quirky me in my jammie pants.  

This was taken back in May when the bushes were blooming and the sun was backlighting the delicate young blooms.  I have nothing delicate in my yard thus I am sure it had to be in her yard.  

The big yellow punched circle is supposed to be my attempt at representing the backlit sun in the garden.  

Got some Dusty Attic leaves tucked away here too.  

Based on the Nov Sketch by Michelle Grant at Dusty Attic.  I am not a sketch artist so I completely appreciate Michelle's creative mind that always amazes.  - I am just sketchy - hahahahhahaha

Hope and My Hearts A Glow Flowers Tutorial

Hope and My Hearts A Glow Flowers Tutorial - created using the Scraps Of Darkness Oct Kit, All Hallows Eve

I always find butterflies an image of hope. not sure why, but they comfort me. This butterfly was a victim of my neighborly yard stalking one afternoon. By that I mean I saw this butterfly flutter by me headed for the neighbors yard. Well, of course so did I! Off to the neighbors. 

For all those folks who have seen my photos and listened to me blather on, you all know I hang out in the neighbors nicely manicured and landscaped yard all apparently all hours of the day and night.   There's so much more of interest going on over there and only boring lawn work going on at my place. 
Anyway, back to the pretty monarch butterfly.  It landed long enough for me to pop a few photos then had enough of my camera shenanigans. 

Are you wondering how I came to have my camera with me at this very opportune time? I usually have my camera around my neck in the yard. Unless I am doing yard work - then the camera is close. One never knows when I need to zip into the neighbors yard really quick and hightail it outta there even quicker! 

I made the flowers, that I am calling Hearts A Glow, which I popped on my very first video tutorial. 

ohhhh I also used a Dusty Attic corner piece. 

Here is a link to my Hearts A Glow Flowers tutorial.

This was made using the following papers:
