The Jersey Devil

When I saw the challenge over at Haunted Design House - HDH #153 - Creepy Cryptids I knew right away what I wanted to do...The Jersey Devil!  Being a former Jersey Girl myself I know all too well about the Jersey Devil.

Legend has it that in 1735, a Pines resident known as Mother Leeds found herself pregnant for the thirteenth time. (Leeds is the name of one of New Jersey’s earliest settlers, and many descendants of the Leeds family can still be found throughout NJ to this day.) Mother Leeds was not living a wealthy lifestyle by any means. Her husband was a drunkard who made few efforts to provide for his wife and twelve children. Reaching the point of absolute exasperation upon learning of her thirteenth child, she raised her hands to the heavens and proclaimed “Let this one be a devil!”
Mother Leeds went into labor a few months later, on a tumultuously stormy night, no longer mindful of the curse she had utter previously regarding her unborn child. Her children and husband huddled together in one room of their Leeds Point home while local midwives gathered to deliver the baby in another. By all accounts the birth went routinely, and the thirteenth Leeds child was a seemingly normal baby boy.

Within minutes however, Mother Leeds’s unholy wish of months before began to come to fruition. The baby started to change, and metamorphosed right before her very eyes. Within moments it transformed from a beautiful newborn baby into a hideous creature unlike anything the world had ever seen. The wailing infant began growing at an incredible rate. It sprouted horns from the top of its head and talon-like claws tore through the tips of its fingers. Leathery bat-like wings unfurled from its back, and hair and feathers sprouted all over the child’s body. Its eyes began glowing bright red as they grew larger in the monster’s gnarled and snarling face. The creature savagely attacked its own mother, killing her, then turned its attention to the rest of the horrified onlookers who witnessed its tempestuous transformation. It flew at them, clawing and biting, voicing unearthly shrieks the entire time. It tore the midwives limb from limb, maiming some and killing others.

Welcome 2 the Zoo layout

Finally a layout for my newest addition...Jaidyn my soon to be 22 month old daughter.  I was inspired to create this layout for 2 challenges, I missed one but I'm hoping to squeak this one in for Paper Cutz Challenge 107.   The requirements for this challenge was to create a card, layout, or papercraft using at least 2 Cricut cuts or stamped images of zoo animals.  Plus, add some dimension or bling and use any colors or occassion you'd like.  I think I did all that!!!

The picture was taken March 14, 2010 and my youngest daughter Jaidyn (in the stroller) was almost 4 months old and it was her 1st trip to the Phoenix Zoo.  This was the 1st trip of many others to follow and still to come.  In 2010 the Phoenix Zoo had a new exhibit and it was the Komodo Dragon.  We have been members of Phoenix Zoo since that year and will continue to because my oldest daughter loves animals and we love this time together as a family.  I knew I would eventually scrap this photo so at the end of the day I purposely bought the 5 x 7 photo and today here it is!!!

I used these items to create this layout:

• Design Studio - to determine and cut the size of all the animals,the title and welded the word "the"
• LePlume II markers and stamp pad ink - for shading and outlining
• white gel pen - dots on the title and journaling
• google eyes
• Recollections Animal Kingdom pattern paper - for the title and background paper
• Misc. cardstock
• Foam squares - to pop-up all the animals and part of the title

I used these Cricut cartridges:

• Animal Kingdom - for all the animals and most of the title
• Birthday Cakes - for the 2 and the "the"

Here are some additional photos:

Thanks for looking...I really enjoyed making this layout, the 1st of many to be added to my daughter's scrapbook!
