Whoooo yoooooo looking at?

These pages are for a circle journal I'm participating in, using those fab Octopode grumpy owls again.


This little tag is slotted in at the side of the journal page. I really enjoyed drawing this doodle.


I went for something more colourful on the opposite page, in contrast to the black and white.


Aw, he looks so annoyed to be sat amongst the flowers...... maybe he has hayfever?

Last Christmas card, I promise.......

This is the one I'm sending out. I've not made many, I just didn't have time, but I've made a few. Well, I had to didn't I, after I insisted on buying these little bauble stamps at the NEC.....


Not the best of photos, but you get the drift..... doodled branch, strings and border, finished with a swoosh of glitter for snow, and some glossy accents on the baubles.

I'm entering it into the Fussy and Fancy Friday challenge- I love Christmas, and Totally Gorjuss- Oh no snow.

I'm also entering it into the Money supermarket card design competition. Well, it'd be rude not to.....

Tae Kwon Do Christmas families

Some more of the Tae Kwon Do card commissions to show you today. These are a couple of brother/sister cards.



The two boys are Lili of the Valley images, used a LOT!


I didn't think this would work, adding a Lili of the Valley and Mo Manning image together, but they kinda work with the snowflakes tying them together.

The papers come from a freebie pack from a magazine.

Tae Kwon Do Christmas

I've been working on a commissioned order for Christmas cards for my lovelies' Tae Kwon Do club- they're all personalised with right colour belt and hair for the recipient. There are lots, so I'm not going to show them all, but here's a few.....




Loving the Teddy Bo image. The snowflakes are from various stamp sets- a Snowman set, Polkadoodles, a Personal Impressions set, and the little star is from a Stampin' Up set. The centres are dotted with Stickles glitter glue.

Grumpy owl birthday

Happy birthday Dad. These grumpy owls kinda look like you somehow.....


Owls by Octopode, alphabet stamps from Hobbycraft. The background is spray inked, and the dribbles reminded me of branches. I wanted the pinky/purple one to be glaring at one below him.

I'm entering this into the Octopode Factory Friday challenge, which is to use words.

Christmas tree sparklies

I've started making Christmas tree decorations. I find them really therapeutic to make, even though they're fiddly at times- this is the latest one, a snowflake.


Doesn't look very sparkly lying there on a sheet of white paper, but trust me, it is, all clear beads and silver wire. I've plans for a couple more of these and a couple of beaded baubles too- time permitting.....
