My Cabinet of Curiosities

Hello Tuesday! Welcome back for day two of my GIU week. 
Today is my daughter's 19th birthday. Happy Birthday Ellyana! Saturday we will celebrate with a fancy dinner at home. Her birthday card this year wears the colors she requested for her celebration. Sage (her favorite color), Gold and White. I added a touch of black for contrast. 
The sets I used are Simplicity and Gingko Greetings. The Happy Birthday die is from Waffle Flower, a gift from my son for my birthday.

Now, onto the fun spooky goodies! I'm not usually as into Halloween as I have been this year. I was really feeling the season and put out our decorations in August! I've been adding a little more here and there, I even decided to haunt an old dollhouse! I had a lot of fun coming up with ideas for this week. Today I'm sharing a couple potion bottles I made to add to my growing collection. If you follow me on social media you might have seen the ones I made last year as well as the ones for Valentine's and St. Patrick's Day! 
This year my bottles have a new home. And an old shelf that was destined for the junk pile until I realized its potential. I cleaned it up, rubbed it down with bronze paste, and added some metal trim and lights. It's a big hit with all the kids! Anyway! Onto the bottles, I added. First, October Moon, anytime you want to see the big, gorgeous glowing moons of October, use this potion. I created the band from a border punch. The moon phases and the lid moon are from the retired Look Up and Get Lost SMAK kit. The tag features the word October from the June-December bullet journaling kit. It is foiled with deco foil. The word Moon is from the itty bitty called Sun, Moon, and Stars.  Also on the tag are fibers, wire, a pumpkin eyelet (!), and a bead with stars.

  

Up next is a fun one for me. My daughter went to Disneyland and all I got was this empty Sprite bottle that she paid $8 for! LOL! She knows her Mama well. I knew I wanted to use it for a powerful potion. The darkest of magic must be locked with a vault-style lid, a hand to remind you of your mortality, and chains for good measure. Whoever opens this must be absolutely, positively ready to encounter the strongest forces there are. This one is the only liquid potion in my cabinet. It was created the same way I make my own shimmer sprays. Alcohol, Gylicerin, and Perfect Pearls or loose eye shadows. I also added black star confetti. The label is from the Happy, Thankful, and Blessed KOM 9/14. 

Here they are inside the cabinet.
