I hope you are all ready for some crafting and are not getting too wet this weekend !!
Today we are showcasing the new releases from SMEARED INK and we are having a Blog Hop. You should have hopped your way here from smashing SHONI.
The first new set is called OCTOPUS PIE....
and the second is called THE KEEPERS....
I decided to work with 3 images from the "Octopus Pie" Set and I did 2 pages of my art journal.... YaY !! This is a brand new one and is Just over A4 size and has a nice ring bound thingy :-D
I found this really funny poem about wrestling with an Octopus by Jack Prelutsky and not only did it make me laugh, I thought it would be perfect with the new images.
The background bits for my pages are from the "Beachcomber" kit by Clever Monkey Graphics.
Right - ho.. that's my bit and now you are hopping off to the Lovely LAURA B to see what she's made for you. Don't forget to leave some luuurve on the way round :-)
Thanks for Hopping by xxxx
