There is truly only one thing I miss in my home and that is a fireplace. Okay maybe I would only be able to use it once every few years living in South Florida, but ohh the decorating for the holidays I could do ...but no fireplace, no mantle so it was time to create my own.

This month at MMU ( Mid Month University) is yup create your own fireplace and mantle and decorate it to your hearts content. When we got the sample of the Authentique Halloween paper collection Spirited I need to so play with it! It is a perfect collection of tradition and vintage mix for this spooktacular holiday.

Your mantle can be for Thankgiving, Halloween, Everyday and of course Christmas ... just have fun !

The template and the simple 1-2-3 instructions to create yours is below. use the template or make your own ! My fireplace front - I printed off some bricks and covered the template. With molding paste and grey paint I cover it - removing some of the paste so the bricks came thru giving it a worn down look. The fire was a clipart found using google .. I di not save it - sorry ...

This challenge starts NOW and ends October 14th at 8:00pm est.
You can make and participate as many as you want ...
Your fireplace has to be 3 dimensional .
Winner will be chosen after 8:00pm on the 14th via random.org
All other challenge rules apply

The RAK - well that is a Boo-tiful surprise - Happy Decorating !!!

A Perfect Day

The Sea, once it casts its spell,

holds one in its net of wonder

forever

I needed a card for one of my sisters to send with a box of goodies the cottage and then it dawned on me to create a little life is perfect scene. With an adirondack chair as the focal point - I just kept adding to it .... the book was the hard thing since I really wanted it to open easily and put the message in there - but that was not working to plan - so the "just for you " ribbon used as a bookmark so when pulled a folded sheet of paper come out which is the perfect spot to right the sentiment.

The Flying Unicorn adornment sun hat - painted with 13@rts paints and the sail wheel was heat embossed with gold

I painted the vase with 13@rts paint - salmon/peach and white never letting any of the layers truly try and in between used a paper towel and dabbed it for the texture/distress effect.
