November Bizarre Holidays

It's another bizarre holiday month!! This month starts out with an ATC celebrating Button Day on November 16. I painted the background of the card tan, and then pasted some Simplicity pattern paper over it. I then added a couple of strips of actual fabric, and placed the button on top! I really like the vintage feel to this card.


For this card, I decided to go with a black background, just to set things off more. Added a little shopping list and a couple of images of the items on the list and there you have it! Pretty simple, but appealing to me none the less!


I just love this image of a statue at the cemetery in Ricoleta, down in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She is just so haunting, I thought she was the perfect depiction of Occult Day, as she seems at times to be very sad, haunting, or for this holiday, kind of scary. The phrase that I found to accompany her image is "I have gone out, a possessed witch haunting the black sky, braver at night."


Enjoy!

October Bizarre Holidays!!

Another month of bizarre holidays! It's October, and of course, folks think about Halloween, but there are other bizarre holidays! Actually, Halloween isn't even on the bizarre list. However, the day before Halloween, it's National Candy Corn Day!



I just couldn't resist Be Bald and Free Day, since my sweetie, Jeff, has so much going on inside his head, it just got too hot for any hair to grow!! Well, he has fringe hair that's really nice and thick, but mostly, he's bald.....


And, here's another irresistible day - who hasn't felt so frustrated from time to time, you just want to scream? Well, if you ever have, October 12th is your day!!!


Enjoy! (but no screaming, please!)
