Freebie Friday - Monster

The very first Digis I ever drew were my Monsters, every now and then I draw a few new ones but leave them in the sketchbook. I never scan them or do anything more with them I finally decided to start adding them to the Monster collection.

So there will be at least 12 new Monsters, being released in September just in time for Halloween projects.  I have decided to start adding "Monster Hands and Feet" this was at the request of my daughter. Her reasoning was to make it easier to cut them out and she told me the Monsters looked a tad childish with the stick hands (yes I have a little critic on my hands - lol).

Here is today's Freebie - Monster 22

I hope everyone has a great weekend!  Don't forget the newsletter comes out on September1 - sign up for your monthly Freebie and see what else we are releasing.  Also did you miss the special Freebie I did earlier this week?  Check out Tuesday's Post for another Freebie.

Because I promised photos of my finished living room:

Shortly after we finished moving the furniture back - nothing on the walls in this photo.  The brown floor is actually a brown paper floor that I applied a piece at a time with glue and polyurethaned over the top of it (12 coats).

A lot of work, blood, sweat and a whole lot of tears later we have a livable living room much to everyone's delight.

12 Days of Christmas | Day 5 and Monday Release

Day 5 - One of my favorites.

I have been busy the 12 Days took by far longer than I thought but it was well worth it.  Monday's Release is a NEW paper pack:  Peacock Paper.  I created this because when we were in Wisconsin this summer we went the The NEW Zoo in Green Bay, WI and there was this peacock that Booga kept chasing.  The princess just wanted one feather (that did not happen) but I have quite a few peacock photos and no paper so I made my own.  I hope everyone likes the paper.  I am partial to the little peacock "eyes" on the brown paper.

12 Days of Christmas - Day 3

I want to apologize for not putting it up until late, I thought I had scheduled it but I did it for the wrong day.  We were at a Girl Scout function and then we did family stuff.

12 Days of Christmas - Day 1

I have had the 12 Days of Christmas idea for close to a year now, but I never knew how to put it together, until this week.  I decided to scrap all the traditional thinking about how to do the days and make it my own.  I thought the Monsters would be the perfect for the 12 Days of Christmas!

I am going to offer each digi for 24 hours and then I will pull them.  After the 12 Days are over the set will be available for purchase in the Digi Shoppe.

Monster Hair Bow Clips!!!

At last we're in October and I'm gearing up for the fall holidays not only in my household decorating and but also in my accessorizing for our wardrobes. Both of my kids are big fans of AJ's Digi Shoppe and of course they loved the new release of Monsters this month. When I saw them, I knew I wanted to play with felt again! I had Sam pick out a favorite monster--this was very difficult because really she loves them all!  She settled on the one that looks like Candy Corn.

For this project you will need:

Candy Corn Monster Digi

felt

embroidery floss

needle

googly eyes

glue

ribbon

clip

I sized him to about 1¾" wide. I used that for a pattern to trace onto white, yellow and orange felt. I outlined the facial features with 2ply purple embroidery floss, added the googly eyes and hot-glued him onto a small tails-down bow that I created out of a pretty plaid ribbon  I had. The bow was hot-glued onto an alligator style clip--taking care to make sure they were glued in opposite directs to be worn on opposite sides of the head. 

Sam LOVES them! I hope you also enjoy them! Thank you for looking!

Too cute...
