Happy Tuesday, friends! 🤎 Remember those grungy li Happy Tuesday, friends! 🤎 Remember those grungy little jars and bottles that I shared yesterday? 🫙🖤 Well..they have found a permanent home in my latest vignette! The Apothecary, a vignette that I’m not quite sure is creepy or just has that fall-ish kind of feeling..you be the judge! 👻 🍁 It was made using many of the new Halloween idea-ology backdrop papers, but also features the smallest of things…the new Palette Snippets Ephemera pack. I used many of the little tiny labels and pieces to embellish my bottles and some within the collage too. 🏷️ Although they are tiny, they can create such a big vintage impact..and there are 136 pieces in the pack! You’ll find all the details of how this project came together and the steps to create your own grungy bottles.

Happy October 1st!! Let all the witchy Halloween f Happy October 1st!! Let all the witchy Halloween fall-ish fun begin! 🖤 It’s time to dress for the occasion…I thrifted a sweatshirt and t-shirt then combined it with some @tim_holtz Creepy Clippings fabric to make an even better “quilted” witchy sweatshirt!! And by quilted, I mean that in the very loose sense of the word. 😉 I just pre-washed all of the pieces, cut the t-shirt, added the fabric behind and messy stitched it on to the sweatshirt! The t-shirt happened to have that clipping looking saying on the front, so I stitched around that too..then, Viola! The coziest Halloween sweatshirt I ever did see! I love it..and how perfect was that fabric I used from @freespiritfabrics ??!? Let the witchy festivities begin! 🧙‍♀️🦉🖤 #timholtz #freespiritfabrics #vintagelove #witchyhalloween
