Spooky Traditions

'What traditions do you and your family have?'

   Last Night as we were decorating cookies to pixie, I discovered that we have a Halloween tradition. The kiddos knew about it….. but I didn't think of it as a tradition. If you are faint of heart, don't read on. We take perfectly good sugar cookies and decorate them to look like the have been injured or turned into zombies. I know… It is awful! I don't know why or when this started, but I know that we have fun doing it and then we deliver the cookies to random people. It is a night full of giggles all the time!

We has so much fun putting the goodies into decorated bags and then pixieing them to random people! Love it!

I made these bags using some of Rhonna Designs . Aren't they fun!

Have fun with your family this Halloween and make some of your own  traditions!

Have a SPoOKy time!

NOVELTY | COS spring summer 2012

Behold my favorites ensembles from COS ss12 lookbook. I can´t wait to see the pieces in real life and hear the story behind the collection at the press days that are coming up. Perhaps it has something to do with the ocean; the placement of the cutouts of the white dress remind me of the gill slits of a shark, the dark midnight garments of wetsuits and the light blues of clear water. But I could be wrong.

I see sharks, divers and water but that's could just be my state of mind at the moment.
What story do you see behind this collection?

SPOOKY Halloween Scrapbooking with Rhonna Designs!

I had some fun creating some spooky digital layouts using some of of the fun whimsical designs from Rhonna Designs . Aren't they awesome! It is so easy to use them on layouts. I used Adobe Photoshop Cs5 which allowed my to also play with my different fonts and brushes, not to mention do what I really like doing….alter my photographs!

Theses are the awesome kits that I played with from Rhonna Farrer's store.

OUTFITS | One Coat, Two Ways

Coat: Zara
silk turtleneck: thrifted
neck cuff: Nelly
heels: Alexander Wang
shorts: American Apparel

I´ve never owned a coat that felt like a bathrobe. It´s from Zara, I got it two sizes too big so that it would feel even and more oversized and slouchy. I started to play around with all that fabric and found that it can also be tied on the hips and be worn as a short jacket.

Those who follow me on Twitter already know why there have been so little updates over the past two weeks. It's that time of the year again when deadlines come closer and exames must be made. But as of today those busy times for me are over. I'm back!

Altering Halloween Pumpkins

Isn't it great how with Halloween the sky is the limit on how you can decorate? I love all the different Halloween color palettes that there is now. It is so amazing how people put all the colors together to make wonderful displays .

I love browsing COLOURlovers. It is a wonderful site to make new color palettes or to find ones. Color schemes are available to download.

I found these wonderful Halloween color palettes there.

I LOVE Color!!!

I also had fun altering a pumpkin. It was a plastic pumpkin that I picked up at a dollar store. I used Mod Podge and old sewing pattern & book pages to cover it. I then used Kuretake ZIG Painty Gold & Silver pen to add some shine to it. For the tag I took out my Kuretake ZIG Clean Color Real Brush pens to get that awesome watercolor look for the pumpkin.    

I was over on Kuretake's blog today….. that was fun to see the Maple flag over there! :) It is a fun Design Team to be on.
