I Came, I Saw, I Conga'd

Good morning and happy Tuesday. Here is another (and last you'll be happy to hear) of my Eileen Hull Passport journal pages.

I've not inked up Carmen Mooranda, so I thought it was time that I did.

I've also used my new favourite's Doodle Circles, and Antique Text Border. Carmen's Veranda's Flying Monkey also came to the party.

This may not be art daaaahling but it certainly was fun!

If you would like to join in with our current challenge just stamp something (but no humans allowed) and link up over on the Portal.

Have a fab week, and thanks very much for looking xx

Are We There Yet

Good afternoon and happy Friday. I'm very happy to be sharing my 'Nobody's Here' piece for Lost Coast Designs.

Yup it's another page in my mini book (this is the back cover) and I've used one of my favourite birds Bird Bones, and the fabulous and ever so useful Large Chickenwire Background. As always if you click here you will be whisked over to the Portal, and I'll show you how this came together.

Have a lovely evening, and thanks very much for looking x

Pretty Little Birds

Good morning and happy Tuesday. I've been playing in my Eileen Hull Passport journal again, and as we currently have a challenge at Lost Coast Designs called 'Nobody Here', I though I would stay with the theme.

This is just simple background stamping, then the main images have been stamped, watercoloured, and cut out. 

Stamps Used
Spray Webbing
Antique Text Border
Cat and Bird
Bowtie Bulldog (Katzelkraft)

It would be great if you would join in with our challenge, the only rules are that there must be some stamping, and this time around no humans are allowed.

Have a  happy week, and thanks very much for looking x

Have An Ice Day

Good morning and happy Sunday. It's time to share the second round of inspiration for our challenge at Rubber Dance. This month it's black and white plus one other colour, and/or wings/feathers.  I've gone a bit 'old school' and made a bookmark.

My son came home with a request - his girlfriend would like a bookmark. I must admit my first thought was 'would she like an e-reader for Christmas' ('cos I never know what to get her) but no, she likes 'proper' books! 

She has a cat, so I thought I would make one with a cat on, but no - she also likes penguins. Well duh, - who doesn't like penguins?? So penguins it is! I stamped Mum (or Dad) and baby (or just very small) penguins from the Playful Penguins set, along with the sentiment. Then I added some snowballs from the Whimsical Winter plate.

Then I painted my images with masking fluid so the I could colour the background.

I used blue Distress Inks, and dipped and dried.

When everything was dry I gently removed the masking fluid, and stamped and embossed the snowflakes from Whimsical Winter.

Then I just matted onto a piece of black card, added the black, white, and blue sequins, and some sari ribbon. By now I really didn't want to give this away, but I was a big girl and sent it on it's way.

I hope that you join in with our challenge, all of the stamps can be found here.  As always for free worldwide P&P on orders of 15 Euros and above just quote SDFreeShip at the Rubber Dance checkout.

There's lots more inspiration from my teamies here, and here's our lovely mood board. Have a very happy day, and thanks very much for looking x

B Is For Bitching Brothers

Good morning and happy Wednesday. As I'm sure you know by now, the current challenge at Lost Coast Designs is Something Beginning With B. I've made a mini book for this, and here's another couple of pages.

Here are my brothers, which is the Lost Coast 3 Waiters stamp.

And this is my inner bitch! It's Lost Coast Birthday Mona, and part of the Carmen's Veranda sentiment Inner Bitch Likes Cookies. I've really enjoyed just using black and white, and I shall do this more often.

This is a really fun challenge, so I hope you join in.

Have a very happy week, and thanks very much for looking x
