Take Risks

Good afternoon and happy Tuesday. It's a really grey day here, warm but no sunshine at all - August eh! Happy Little Stampers have an ATC challenge running, and the theme this time is 'doodling' I love to see doodling, but the reason I have more than a few (waaaaay more unless Neil is looking) rubber stamps is that I can't draw, and I can't doodle at. all.! It's no use saying that everyone can draw, and it's only practice blah blah 'cos I really can't.  I did a well known 30 day course, and the difference between day 1 and day 30 was zip, zilch, nada,  noooo difference at all. I have a cup that my son bought for my birthday with a face on it that I drew on a course - you know when something is sooo bad that the tutor has to mutter and move on - well this stares at me every day as I eat my tea. I would show you but it would break the internet...
Anyway what's a challenge if not challenging, so here are my doodles (be grateful it's only ATC size :-)  )


Even Pic Monkey is having a laugh, it's telling me that my 'masterpiece has been saved' The lovely stamps are from AALL & Create, the doodles are all mine lol.
I'm also linking this to Simon Says Stamp Monday's ATC challenge.
Have a great week, and thanks very much for looking xx

  5. it is a great ATC, your doodles are wonderful. I feel the same way about my drawing. We cannot be good at everything is my philosophy.
    Thanks for joining us at HLS.

  6. Looks like great doodles to me and I think the idea of doodling is to just enjoy whatever and where ever your fingers take you.

  9. The ATC is delightful. I think we all tell ourselves we can't draw but try observational drawing rather than draw out io your head, keep it simple and see what happens. Xxx

  13. Oh my goodness! What an absolutely enjoyable post! I think your ATC is pretty dang incredible, so I'm afraid that I disagree with your claim of non-doodler-ship. Your birds are adorable and what I really liked was the high entertainment value of your writing! I am a lit nerd, so I love it when art is beautiful and writing is witty and you nailed both! Thank you so much for sharing your skills with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
