Gina Baj - Our-Jack
Hi Shazza,
My name is Gina Baj and stumbled across your wonderful blog thru a friend. I love it. I have never submitted for anything, scrapbook wise. When I saw the December inspiration it just called out to me. I live in a small country town in Australia and halloween isn't celebrated much. This year was the first year I had ever seen pumpkins that could be carved. I love the idea of halloween and have had fun with my kids for about the last 7 years, but when I saw a pumpkin I just had to give it a go. We decided to carve a Jack Skellington face. My halloween photos were perfect for this challenge.
I have included all the items:
Pumpkins- in the photos and hanging from the tree.
Large moon- behind the photo and on the vintage halloween postcard.
Jack Skellington- in the photos, in the bottom right hand corner, and as a charm hanging from the pin in the top right hand corner.
Spooky Tree- chipboard cut out that has been hand glittered.
Fence- another chipboard cutout that I have painted, embossed and wrapped a chain and lock(covered in Staz on ink- black)and cobweb, to represent a cemetery gate. Jack has the keys on his finger.
Yellow/Purple colours- all over
Large Swirl- under the hand made flowers, chipboard painted purple and cover in Ranger crackle paint, black soot.
I had sooo much fun with this challenge thanks for putting it out there. I really enjoying looking at everyone's creations and how from the same poster everyone comes up with unique ideas. Well done everyone!!! and Merry Christmas to all.
TTFN Gina
