Oddball Art Mid Challenge Inspiration Post!

Hi friends......hope you're all well!
Today I have a canvas to share, this is my Dt make for the reminder/
inspiration post over at the Oddball Art Stamp Co. where the challenge theme
 is SPRING! I used Fay the Fancy Fairy, she's available in rubber over at
Whimsy Stamps. I coloured Fay with my Copics, I used distress & acrylic paints,
for the background and all the bits & pieces were from my stash.
There's not many rules & you don't even have to use one of Lizzy's
images but you know we love it when you do! Lots of digi's to be won & you
now get 2 digi's for the same price - one smiley mouth & one pouty mouth!
And that's not all......if you fancy treating yourself you can save an extra 10%
by using this code DTJO10 on anything in Lizzy's Etsy shop.
If Facebook is more your thing then we have a challenge there too....

Pug Love



Hi friends......hope you're all well & had a lovely weekend.
No crafty time for me these last few days but I do have something to
share......another book page.....this one for Jess who loves her pug!
Papers, frame, bow & image are all Gorjuss, the letters & heart are all
cut on my Silhouette, the scallop mat is an XCut die & that sweet
image is recycled from an old magazine.
I'm planning an hour (or two) at my desk later so fingers crossed I'll
be back tomorrow......if not, it'll definitely be Wednesday, thanks for
calling...........see you soon.

Share an Oldie this Friday!

                                                                                                                                                                                                     

Hi friends......hope you're all well!
Time to 'Share an Oldie' again with Erika at Snappycrafts & this week I have
 2 digi pages to share, both of my youngest son, Nic when he was in Y2.
 He's 16 now & so busy with his final exams.........then he needs to make a 
decision on College.....ultimately he wants to be either a Teacher or a
Mechanic!! Each so different but so long as he's happy then I'm happy.
So that's me for today, if you fancy sharing an oldie just pop on over to
Erika's & link up. Thanks for calling & whatever you're up to hope you
have fun........see you soon!

And another book page.....

Hi friends........hope you're all well!
Woke up to a cold, damp foggy morning today & yesterday my little
Miss was sent home from school poorly....she's still tucked up in bed with
a bowl......just in case lol......so I think it'll be a day indoors today.
I have yet another book page to share today, this from a swap I did &
for this page the theme was friendship. The papers & die cut flowers were
from a pack that came free with a mag ages ago, I had lots of odd
shaped pieces left so simply layered a few strips onto a piece of black
card & edged them with a Caran D'Ache watercolour pastel (I LOVE
these pastels!) The flowers were inked, shaped & held together with a
brad then lastly I added the black letters........job done!
So that's it for today, whatever you're up to have a lovely day and
thanks for calling!
