Doodling again......

The challenge at The Cupboard Trilogy is to interpret the lyrics of Bette Midler's Wind beneath my wings. I chose a couple of lines and got doodling!

I accented various areas with Glossy Accents. Actually, now that I'm looking at it, it's not a brilliant photo, I might need to retake it tomorrow in better light.

It's worth a look at the Cupboard Trilogy blog, there's a fantastic Stampin' Up prize on offer.

Red. White. and......ermmmm, what the other one again?

ATC time! These are all for a red, white and blue swap. I'm kinda feeling these papers at the moment, they're from the Docrafts Portobello Road paper pack. I'm also really loving my new telephone box stamp- it's a bit Dr Who in blue......

This last one is made with Ferro paste, stamped into, then painted red and blue. The silver is Croco crackle effect.

Dorothy Octopode, a Tardis, flowers and some glamour........

..... bit of a mixed bag? Well there is a bit of a theme going on here, and it's ATCs with Octopode images on them.

This one fits the Octopode Factory Friday challenge which is flowers, so I'm entering it!

This last one is still ATC sized but I'm working on a few that are intended to be put together as an Art Journal, hence the date!

Happy birthday Jack!

My beautiful nephew Jack is 3 today. He's into what every 3 year old boy is into.....so a fireman card seemed appropriate.

This is a Paper Nation set I've had for ever, not really into decoupage, but I must admit, this looks great. The letters are tarnished metal- I'd forgotten I'd got them to be honest, but they fit the gap just right!

So, I know you can't read this, but Happy Birthday beautiful Jack, Aunty Li-Li loves you loads xxxx

Stamp Man DT time! Favourite technique!

The challenge at The Stamp Man this fortnight is to show a favourite technique. Oh boy. I can't choose just one........

I made a Fat Page for a swap I'm part of- the theme is water and this gorgeous Fran-tage mermaid from Stampendous just fit the bill perfectly. The background is sprayed inks (favourite technique #1). She's coloured with Twinkling H20s for added shine and cut out (not exactly favourite technique #2, but I do seem to do a LOT of cutting out) then layered up with torn vellum (tearing stuff- favourite technique #3).  Finally lots of bling (favourite technique #4.....well that's pushing it a bit, sticking gems on isn't really a technique, but I do love to do it!!!)

Actually, my all time favourite thing to do is stamp, so really, that's what I'm showing with this piece- and everything else I do, really!!!

Right, there's a Stamp Man voucher up for grabs and if you haven't headed over to the Stamp Man shop online recently, you really should take a look, there's 20% off loads of things and free UK postage for orders over £20 which is not to be sniffed at.

WOYWW.....how on earth should I know?

Haven't been near my desk for days.......

OK, slight exaggeration, but not since Sunday.

Sparkly points for spotting......

• A precariously perched mushroom on a part done journal page.
• My sons old football trading cards- using them to stiffen the back of floppy ATCs.
• A water themed Fat Page.
• My gorgeous nephew's 3rd birthday card- how is he going to be 3 already?
• Some Chocolate Baroque stamped house images.
• The scrap of card I've been using to mop up stray spray ink splodges.

Right, I've got washing to sort and a chilli to throw into the slow cooker before work! Other desks are available at Julia's Stamping Ground.

Purple hair? Why not?????

Another set of commissioned cards to show you today, for a set of twins.

Bit of a close up on the images- I borrowed some Copics to colour these- quite like how they came out, especially with me being a Promarker girl.....

I'm liking my new LOTV postmark sentiments. 

What do you reckon? I quite fancy purple hair for myself.....
