DAY 1: 2019 CAT LOVERS HOP

Welcome to DAY 1 of the 2019 CAT LOVERS' BLOG HOP.  I'd like to say a huge THANK YOU to our Janis over at HER PEACEFUL GARDEN for organizing and hosting this fur-bulous event for the 5th year !!  =^..^=

I am one of the many Sponsors she has this year and this is also my 5th year.

Here is my exclusive digi image set that I designed for Janis as my IKEsART prize - it is called " MOOD CAT " and you get a whole cat, a body and 5 different Mood cat heads LoL  This image will not be in my Shop until after the Hop.

The featured sponsors today are: Leigh SB Designs Art Stamps, Art Impressions, Unity Stamp Company, Darkroom Door, Poppystamps, Rubber Dance Art Stamps, and Ike's Art (kindly sponsoring our Daily Games each day).

My Cats Only Challenge theme this month is Furrything Goes + MEOW-loween,  so if you make a kitty creation for the Cat Hop (Halloween or not), you can also link it up over there!!

Today I have made a Tag using a brand new kitty I purchased from LEIGH SB DESIGNS  ART STAMPS . It's from her brand new set shown below and the image I used is called " The Carved Skelly Cat ".  

For my Tag I used the Skelly Cat. I put him on a MFT sweater using 3D foamies. Ribbons and fibres from my stash and my lovely clay roses were hand made by KRISTY DEYETTE. I added some teeny die cat bats too.  I coloured him with Spectrum Noir markers and I paper pieced the sweater using papers from a new set I got - A Group of Cats 6 x 6 papers.  The Tag is embossed with a chevron patter and then coloured with orange and brown Cats Eye pigment ink stamps from Colour Box.

So, I hope to work with my MOOD CAT for some projects over the Hop,  but I am also trying to paint the outside of my house before the rains come here in Greece .   =^..^=

I hope you will pop over and join in the fur-bulous CAT LOVERS' BLOG HOP 2019 - HERE

POE APPRECIATION DAY BLOG HOP 2019 - DAY 1

Hello POE Peeps,

Here I am with DAY 1 of the 4th Annual POE APPRECIATION DAY BLOG HOP  as hosted by the amazing LEIGH SB DESIGNS.

Here is my piece for Day 1 - a Steampunk Poe clock that I made from an old CD and the base is a disk from an angle grinder :-D
I made the cog shapes from card and used bits of old chains. The roses I hand made using Duct Tape.

Leigh has drawn a fabulous new Poe themed design called, " The Winter Raven " is now available in her Etsy Boutique. Click on the Badge below to go there.

Also check out her 2018 Poe collection which is now on sale!
There is also a FREEBIE for you called Poe Love, you can grab it HERE!

I have bought the new WINTER RAVEN image this morning so I will hopefully be colouring her up for a new project in the next couple of days :-D

Thanks for POE-pping in and thank you for any comments. xxxxxxxxxxxxx

I'M BACK.... 31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN - DAY 1

Hello Peeps,
I am back with my sadly neglected little Blog, after 3 weeks in the UK and am here to play 31 DAYS of HALLOWEEN with Leigh Snaith-B....

I am already playing catch-up at a day behind, but here is my creation.

What is it they say ????  " Never go into that Shack out there in the dark woods !!".... but people always do !  Would YOU go in here ????   LoL

I have used " SHACK " and "DEAMON" from IKEsART.

I've got a pretty busy day today but hopefully I can soon get my act together to make creations for all the 31 days :-D

Thanks for popping in.  xxxxx

POE APPRECIATION DAY BLOG HOP January 19-23, 2018 - DAY 1

Hi Peeps and welcome to DAY 1 of the POE APPRECIATION DAY BLOG HOP as hosted by the wonderful Leigh of LEIGH SNAITH-BRUNTON DESIGNS.

I have made 5 new pieces to show you - one each day, but I will also be including some of my previous POE inspired projects to inspire you along :-D

For today, I have a piece using some brand NEW images from LEIGH SNAITH-BRUNTON DESIGNS :  " ODE TO POE "  and " RAVEN " .

                              

Firstly I made a sort of shadow box using  " GOTHIC ARCH " from my Poe collection at IKEsART. The background is a freebie I gave out  a while back which has Ravens.  I coloured POE with Promarkers and then fussy cut him and added him the the background with 3D foamies. The Raven head was also fussy cut and 'feathered' and added to the frame. Then I tarted it up with some white silk leaves and hand made roses.

THE CAT LOVERS' BLOG HOP - DAY 1

Hello Peeps and welcome to the Cat Lovers' Blog Hop DAY 1 :-D This is leading up to October 29th - National Cat Day     YaY !!! Well - I have got 15 of the little furry critters, so it would so rude not to participate wouldn't it ?? hahaha

Here is my contribution for Day 1...

The background papers are from my box of Halloween snippets stash and I found that I had just one of these cute cat with broomstick brads :-D The pumpkin is made of clay and was from my good friend CREEPY GLOWBUGG (she makes them).

I coloured the kitty in PSE9 and then printed him multiple times to fussy cut and make a 5 layer 3D image.  I cut the spooky letters from magazines.

The kitty is from DIGI DARLA DESIGNS and is called "Kitten n Cloak". I don't think she is trading any more... the Facebook page is very old. :-(

I hope you will come along to HER PEACEFUL GARDEN and have a look at the Hop and maybe even play along if you LUV cats too :-D xxxxx

The blog hop starts today and runs until Friday, October 30. Janis has lined up some fabulous prizes, so you will want to head over to her blog for all the details! Guidelines and FAQ can be found here.
