Today’s Teaser – I’m bored, let’s do something different. You’re getting a Scissor Crypt. But! I’m going to add a needle minder (guess who underestimated the appeal?) And the extra super fun bonus? You get to pick which one you receive from the six choices below. Feel free to yell out your pick in the comments section, but if you win you can change your mind Wednesday – so don’t obsess ok?
Top row l to r: pretty cameo, single mermaid, butterfly
Bottom row l to r: kissing cupids, skeleton cameo, gossip of mermaids (yes a group of mermaids is a gossip, people smarter than me looked it up!)
Day 16’s prize for Kim:
The little witch is Sally Witch by Brooke’s Books from the JCS Halloween 2010 issue. I stitched her on silver perforated paper, but I only used two strands of DMC and I substituted #4 Krenik braids that I had on hand. Also I omitted the red swag on the bottom of her skit and gave her a silk ribbon (Dinky Dyes, from one of her awesome Oops Packs) bow at her throat in place of the Krenik bow.
She’s mounted on the background using double stick foam pads from the scrapbooking store. This raises her up from the fabric just a little to add more dimension. I also used about 15 dots on her, I will be shocked if she ever falls from the background.
The background is fabric laced around the back board that was included with the frame (5 x 7 shadow box purchases at Michaels). The fabric is a Japanese import, I loved it so much I bought a half yard (& I’m still thinking about how I want to use the rest of it for myself). You can see a better picture of the print HERE.
And of course the standard stuff: candy, needle minder, thread winder, and pins.
Gossip of mermaids. That makes me think of several of us getting together in a restaurant over margaritas. LOL
Ooooo, how exciting! If I win I would pick either the single mermaid, or the skeleton cameo…..leaning heavily toward the skeleton 🙂 AWESOME prize for day 16! That witch is too cute!
You did a lovely finish for Kim with the shadow box frame of Brooke’s pattern, too cute! I would enjoy using the skeleton cameo or the kissing cupids.
They are all so pretty!! But I think that the butterfly is my favourite. The little witch is very pretty too!
Gossip of mermaids, huh? That’s interesting!
I’m going to put my name in for the skeleton cameo – I just love that one!
That witch is too cute.
my my, they are all nice, but….if I could i would pick the gossip of mermaids! It sounds intriguing.
Love the single mermaid one.
Oh! What a great selection to choose from. I’d want either the single mermaid or the skeleton.
And good for you for finding out what a group of mermaids is called. I love how there are different terms for gatherings of different things.
Love your BB witch!
I like the gossip of mermaids. If the fin fits…..
I love how you framed your witch on the black and white fabric! I like the single mermaid on the top row. Very nice!
The butterfly is so pretty and my favorite
As always, great prize packs, Missy! Good luck to everyone!
What a great group of things! Love the needle minders. A gossip of mermaids…how great is that?? Please enter me.
That Brooks Books finish is just awesome! Lucky Kim. 🙂
I like the butterfly needle minder best. So that’s my pick if I win. 🙂
I’d love to have my name dropped in the hat for this giveaway! Is a gossip of mermaids inherently gossipy?
Skeleton Cameo, definitely! Fingers cross again 😉
Gossip of mermaids. I need that. Since I already won another day, I need to make my own. So, please share where you bought those things. I *really* need to know.
The witch is beyond awesome. The fabric is perfect.
Butterfly! The witch looks AWESOME!

Okay, now I understand why I have not won yet! It is because I was MEANT to win this one! Right? (Please??? Does begging work?!? Hee…)
I love the skeleton cameo. Honestly, I NEED it!

That is an awesome prize package Missy. You did a great job on her.
I am dying over the shadowbox piece. Sooooo cute!! Love that fabric too. And a gossip of mermaids – that is very cool. When I saw your tweet I thought to myself, there probably isn’t a word for it. But, lookie – there is! I’m so in need of one of the skeleton needleminders, you don’t even know. They are so cool!
Kim’s prize is really neat. MG you must have been so busy creating all this. No wonder we hardly heard from you this Summer!

I love it all, please add me to the drawing
What a great job you did on Sally Witch! I love that you mounted her in a frame, very clever.
Ohhh I would have to pick Pretty Cameo just because it looks so much like a real cameo pin of my mother.
Thank you for the chance.
The BB turned out fabulous.
