Leave a Message and I'll Call You Baaack - 31 Day Challenge - Day 15

Nothing to Disclose

I'm walkin' through these spiderwebs.... When I saw today's theme for the 31 Day Nail Art Challenge was 'Delicate', I immediately thought of spiderwebs. I mean, what's more delicate than a spiderweb? I mean yes, spiderwebs are technically super strong, but they're so delicate LOOKING. They're also beautiful, until you're walking along and one hits you in the face and you have to live with the fact that you're never going to feel safe again. Oddly enough, no Arachnophobia here, but the second a spiderweb touches me when I'm not expecting it, and F&*K that. Hit the jump to see what I used and what I did.

Today was a bit of a struggle... thinking of an animal print that wasn't the 'norm', but still fulfilled the challenge was TOUGH! Luckily my sister Stacey gave me inspiration months and months ago, she just didn't know it! :D It's not perfectly how I wanted it to be, but I fell asleep on the couch while watching TV, so I had to rush a little! :-/ Hit the jump for more information on my inspiration and pictures!

So I found this book laying around the house that wasn't there before. I'm a little confused... it's called Handbook For the Recently Deceased, and I don't know where it came from. I feel a little discombobulated, too... and I don't have a reflection! What's going on?! Hold on, here's an ad I can call... Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Hit the jump for more!

Woo! It's Day 10 of the 31 Day Challenge, and for all intents and purposes, we're 1/3 of the way through!! Today's challenge was gradients, and while we recently discussed my lack of prowess in the gradient department until not too long ago, I actually am pretty pleased with how these turned out.  Hit the jump for the inspiration, pics, and what I used!
