Craft and Hobby Association (CHA 2013) as Melt Art!

I had the honor to be able to learn from Debbie Tlach while she was at the Ranger booth at the Craft and Hobby Association 2013. She was sweet and so easy going during the demonstration of the new product line coming out this year for Melt art.

If you don’t know who Debbie Tlach is or what melt art is then go ahead and take a look at the video you might like what you see! I know i’ve had my melt art supplies store for a while because I really did not know how to start but now I am full of inspiration and ready to dig in.

I had a fantastic time at the CHA 2013 and I hope to be sharing a lot of photos of my favorite booths in the next couple of days. I also have a couple more videos at http://www.youtube.com/user/Pandorascraftbox.

See you soon!

Creepmas Tag

13 Replies

Etsy has the best seller anywhere. I found this cute little creepy Santa for my creepy tag. I also used Dylusion sprays for the background which I just love. I love how the inks mix together and make other colors.

In coloring the Santa I use a wet paint brush and distress ink pads. I was able to have more control over where I wanted the inks to go. I printed the Santa on regular white paper.

I hope you are all having a wonderful holiday!

Christmas Tag

10 Replies

Can you believe that December is already here?! Time flies so fast the older you get. As promised I have done the first Christmas tag of the season. I don’t know about you but I love Christmas and its not because of the presents. Its because I love the colors, decorating and of course the most important thing, family. My Christmas as child where not filled with present but memories of music, food and laughter. I come from a Spanish family so I used to put grass and water out for the camels late at night and wait for the three kings to come.

Now its my turn to make those lovely memories with my son. I want him to also remember our cultures music playing the in background with a house full of laughter and love. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and that you keep stopping by to see all the wonderful tutorials and tags soon to come.

Recap on 31 days of Halloween Tags and The Flektor!

The Dibbux Box and tag #31 for Halloween

16 Replies

Today is a wonderful day! Its Halloween and do I have a wonderful scary story for you. Have you heard of the Dibbux box? They say its holds a soul of an evil spirit and anyone who own the box will fall ill and be terrorized by it. It was been passed on to other by being sold on ebay. Do you dare to hear this scary story of the Dibbux box ?

I came across this story while hearing a pod cast from Mysterious Universe and every hair on my body was standing on end the entire time. Even now as I speak of it in my silent dark home I get chills. I will recommend hearing this story during the day light or you might not be able to sleep tonight. You can hear the podcast HERE. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did and may the old hag not get you.

Now for the last tag of 31 day of Halloween! The tag was done mostly by my hubby. I was having such a hard time trying to figure out what to do. I sat at my desk for 30 minutes and nothing came to mind. I wanted to make it over the top but my mind was drawing a blank.

My hubby being a wonderful man he is decided to do the tag for me. He did everything on the tag except for blending distress on the tag. I just love everything he did. I so wish I could draw like him!

I hope you all have a wonderful Halloween!!

13 Replies

My random little letters and a Halloween tag is what I have in stored for you today. I can’t believe it has been 30 days of Halloween Tags already. I have had a lot of fun and I almost though of giving up a couple of times because I though I did not have any more creativity left in me. Just one more day for the grand finally!

Dear little flowers,

please stop dying on me; I don’t think I am that bad to live with.

Dear Hubby,

Please know that I love you dearly and you are wonderful, even when I am mad at you. There is know one I rather be mad and in love with but you.

Dear energy,

I know I need to workout and sleep more but I really need you to keep me sane.

Dear chilly nights,

I love it when you come late at night and keep me under my covers but I do have a very big problem in the morning when I don’t want to leave my bed.

I hope you are all having a good week!

Vintage suitcases and Halloween tags

15 Replies

Here are my finds at the flea market (I found vintage suitcases) and my Halloween tags. We spent this weekend celebrating my son’s second birthday and Halloween. When you have a child time seems to fly by and all of sudden two years have passed. At times I look at my son and I am scared to close my eyes because I might flash to the future where he is going off to college.

I went to the flea market that is only ten minutes away and I did not even know it until now. I was excited to find this beauties. Can you imagine that I only got them for $11 for all three?! I found that when you go to flea markets you need to be very patient because there might me a lot of stuff that you might consider junk but their might be a gem in the lot. I might just make going to the flea market a weekly thing.

Little Letters of Love & Halloween tag

11 Replies

I like writing little letters of love for my wonderful men in my life. When my son was born I decided to write a letter for him every year right before his birthday describing all his accomplishment and how much he mean to me. I do the same for my hubby right before every anniversary. I hope to one day have a little book for each to take have with them in their new challenges an adventures into adulthood or life and for them to know that I will always be close. Or god forbid , if I no longer with them they will at least know that I love them and will watch over them.

Dear Little Monster, why do you have to grow up so fast? Your second birthday has just passed and I am so happy to see the little man you are becoming. I can’t wait to experience all the new thing that come with turning 2!

Dear Zoidberg, please stop throwing up all over my home, I promise the first thing I do tomorrow is change you back to your regular cat food.

Dear Craft Desk, Please clean after yourself I am tired of chasing my little monster around the apartment trying to get my glitter away from him.

Dear Weather, thank you so much for the cool nights. I just love to cuddle with my hubby at night with the cool breeze coming in window.

Seven Questions about Halloween & a Halloween Tag

13 Replies

1. Do you believe in ghosts?

I do believe in ghosts, the last thing I want to think about is that when we die we just disaper. I think that is also the reason why I don’t watch scary movies. I would never be able to sleep.

2. Do you prefer the cute or the scary Halloween?

I love the cute and the scary of Halloween. I like to see the creative monster people come up with for Halloween and I do have a hubby who is in the creative business of making monster for a living.

3. How old were you when you stopped trick or treating?

The last time I trick or treat was when I was 14 because I was taking my little brother. I was a sexy vampire!

4. Do you have any fun Halloween traditions?

The only Halloween tradition you could say I have is decorating my home. I hope to start a tradition of pumpkin carving with my son this year.

5. Share a scary local urban legend.

I don’t have a scary local urban legend to tell you about because I just moved to California. However, I do happen to see a white mist in my apartment from time to time. Every time I see it I ask my hubby if he sees it too but he tells me there is nothing there. I never get a bad vibe when I see it. Most of the time is just passing through. Are you scare yet to come and see me? hehe.

6. Would you rather be haunted or haunting?

I don’t know either one would just be scary.

7. What’s your favorite Halloween character/ creature? (dracula, witch, ghost, etc)

My favorite creature when growing up was witches and now as an adult I love vampires and werewolves, umm… do you think twilight had to do something to do with that?

Now for the Halloween Tag # 24!

I have a thing for monocles and I have decided to use them again on one of my tags. I have also included a list of material that I have used in my tag.

Thank you so much for all those who stop by everyday and comment on my tags, I love all your comment and you keep me going.
