Thriller Wall Hanging

I do love this month's stamp from Close To My Heart "THRILLER".  It's so stinkin cute...or at least I think so.  This is a wall hanging I did using a circle chipboard base.  I died some ribbon with reinkers to create the color of ribbon perfect to match the project.  I also heat embossed the letters and the skull stamp to add that finished look.  I sponge daubed some of our "On Target (the circle)" dimensional elements with the lagoon ink and used the Hooligans paper collections Oh and took some of our new ribbon from the Lagoon collection and pulled the white string that runs down the middle to give that bunched effect.  I've made several of these wall hanging so I'm sure gonna have a lot of decorations for the Halloween season hanging around.  I probably need to start focusing on Thanksgiving or Christmas, LOL.

# 7 Things I Loved & Learned - CTMH Convention -New Colors

I'll be honest the corporate gals with Close To My Heart are the queens of teasing you with all the wonderful products they have coming out. During General Session they had the cutest spoofs on popular T.V. shows they had done that highlighted some of the new products. Eight new colors are part of the Fall/Winter idea book...yeap that's right 8 new rich colors that will be merged into the Celebration and the Carnival collections. So get ready for Oceania, Smoothie, Gypsy, Sky, Sunset, Lagoon, Pear and Cotton Candy to grace your artwork. They really are yummy. All consultants were given all eight of the new colors during the Extravaganza session of conference so I've taken a picture of mine just to wet your appetites. Come September 1st, you can add them to your collection.
