Are you ready for......Vampires?

Well, they're ready for you!  Perhaps the heat is getting to me, but here are some spooky Vintage Vampires.

Ready to download at my Etsy Shop, and also at Artfire.  A bit of Halloween amusement from the Dog and me.

It's Still Halloween Around Here!

Although there's not a Pumpkin in sight, and it's over 90 degrees today, I'm firmly focused on Witches, Bats, Ghosts and Goblins.  Apparently Halloween is a very big holiday for a lot of folks besides the Dog and me.  My Halloween printable downloads are very good sellers, so there must be lots and lots of folks out there who craft and decorate for the Spooky Season.

Here's my very newest set of Halloween amusements - The Witch's Household Labels!

There are 9 different labels, for all the products a Good Witch's home could not be without:

• Bat Stain Remover
• Pointed Hat Straightener
• Cauldron Cleanser
• Beetle Burnishing Paste
• Cobweb Restore
• Clean Sweep  Brooms
• Black Cat Conditioner
• Frog and Toad Bait
• Stubborn Spell Scouring Powder

I think this turned out to be such a fun group, and you could make so many creative  things with these in addition to labels.  Tags, party invitations, note cards, and Halloween Decorations all come to mind.  Please check out Digital Antiques on Etsy, or Digital Antiques on Artfire for this and other Spookiness.

No Trick, Just a Treat

I have special little free download for you today.  Often when I'm working on a set of images, somewhere in the process I end up with an extra something that really doesn't fit well into the mix.  An orphan, so to speak.  Today's free download is one of those.  After all, you never know when you might need Gargoyle Treats.

Please click HERE to download an excellent quality pdf file of this image. The Dog and I hope you will have great fun with it.

New Halloween Tags and Some Inspiring Images

I'm in the mood for Halloween, which is lucky since I need to be adding to the Halloween Image collection at Digital Antiques.  I'll admit it, I love the dark and spooky side as much as the fun, costumed side of the holiday.  Just the idea of the possibility of actual magic gives me goosebumps - the good kind.  What about you?

Here is a new set of tags based on Graveyard images and Grave Stones.

This printable, digital download  is perfect for Halloween cards and invitations, or to make tags and collages.  Available at my Etsy Shop, and my Artfire Studio.

I do have some great images for you to download today.  I hope they'll be inspiring in your art work and your crafting.

I love this illustration - the quality of the pen work is wonderful!  Think about adding  your own touches of color!  So sweet.

This is from a Vintage trade card, advertising soap.  She has such a haunting expression. And a wonderful hat!

Finally, here's a great frame for you to use for note cards, journaling, photos, labels, and whatever you can come up with.  I loved the graceful, delicate quality of this one.
Have a happy evening, and stay cool as best you can, from the Dog and Me.

New Halloween Designs and Free Tags!

We are in the typical summer weather pattern here in Tennessee.  Lots of heat, high humidity, and electrical  storms, some pretty intense, and they are set to continue the rest of the week.  Working on the computer can be a bit of a challenge, with lightning striking all around, but so far so good.  I'm thoroughly   into Halloween prep, and it is my favorite Holiday.  Here's the most recent set.

 

 

 This set includes both postcard size, 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" and 3" rounds in 4 designs, and I have included a full page file of the background paper as well.  Pick them up in my Etsy shop or my Artfire Studio.

I've also had time to work on some new free tags for you to download.  I made these from some beautiful old scientific illustrations of  fish.  I think they will be fun to use  for all kinds of cards and tags, and probably lots of other things.  

 Click on the sidebar button and download your own pdf copy.  I'd love to see what you make!

Have a happy week, from the Dog and me.

New Look, New Tags

I've been busy behind the scenes, doing some redecorating.  It was time for a change, I wanted to take advantage of some of the new features available in Blogger's Template Designer. I hope you'll like the new look, as I try to combine both sides of my slightly split personality, my Vintage graphics at Digital Antiques, and my Primitive Folk Art at Big Brown Dog Primitives.

One of the new features I hadn't counted on was that my Followers widget has now decided to be blank for me, at least some of the time.  I'm working on solving that, since I really value my followers, and certainly want them displayed. I'll keep at it.

New Vintage Clock Tags 

Here are the latest tags, ready to download and print, for your Art or craft projects. Pick them up at Etsy or Artfire.

I'm loving the Sepia, of course, and just very pleased with how these turned out.

I also have a new set of free tags almost finished, and should have them ready for you in a day or two, so stop in again later this week.  

Have a wonderful day, from the Dog and me.
