WOYWW 225

Hi there Wednesday Peeps and welcome to WOYWW 225 - the chance to snoop round people's desks from all over the world. :-)
If you're not familiar with this then pop over to JULIA's Blog and you can find all the details.
Well - today I have just received my parcel from Artist Clare WILLCOCKS  - a young lady I found a couple months ago who is a watercolour artist (amongst other things) but one of the things she does that I completely fell in love with are Seagulls, and she has recently opened up an Etsy shop :-)  So today finally "The Seagulls have landed"  hahahaha !! and here they are to show you Peeps. I purchased 'Professional Seagulls' and  got a freebie 'Chip Pincher' as well that is soooo adorable. There is another painting I got my eye on too, so I may well be collecting these little gems :-D

Clare is also dabbling her toes into the crafting world too and if you'd like to visit her personal Blog to see her paintings and crafting, then please go HERE.

OK - I'm off desk hopping now. Happy WOYWW.

OMGoodness !!! .... I forgot to put up the Kitty Wall I was making last week - so many people asked to see it so here it is. All images are from SPYDER.

OOOH !! WORKING WELL TODAY :-D

Me again Folks.
Here is a little something I just whipped up after seeing a gorgeous digi on THE STAMPING CHEF FaceBook page.
If you join the Group and apply for her today, you could snag your own copy of the fabulous 'DESDEMONA'.  I have coloured her with Promarkers and drew her some lacy topped fishnets and then coloured her wings with graphite pencil. She is set against a backdrop vintage image sourced by The Graphics Fairy :-D  I colour toned it in dark red to soften it against the image. She is mounted on foam pads for a little 3D effect  (not that she needs much of that... looks like DD to me  hahahaha LoL) !!!

Right - must go feed my hoards of Kitties now.... see you later xxxxxxxxx

A BIT OF FUN !!

Hi there,
I had a bit of fun with my latest creation and it made me snigger anyways !! :-D
I got a free digi from FRESH BREWED DESIGNS that they sent to enter their latest Challenge.....it's a Surprise Challenge with a Sketch too.
I coloured the Coffee Shop digitally and then used Coffee and Cream Scrapbook kit from Crafty Scraps to finish the sketch design.  The jokey part is that I added my 'Deamon' digi and a crazy sentiment  hahaha LoL
You get 2 versions of the Coffee Shop - Open or Closed door - and I added some text to the notices in the windows. One says "Back in 5 minutes" which is what would cause my demonic state if I was desperate for my coffee  hahaha !!

Click on Pic to enlarge....

Here's the Sketch and a looksee at the free digi ..one Shop is open and the other is Closed.

CLEAN AND SIMPLE

Hmmm - sounds a bit like me  hahahaha LoL !!!
Now I struggle with this theme - I always want to add more coz it looks so bare, so I was mortified to find that our theme this fortnight with FUN WITH ATCs was going to be CAS. Imagine my doom and gloom. :-(  Well, I managed to snag myself a wonderful little Kitty Freebie from A Day For Daisies the other day and decided to use that and do the 'spotlight' thing again. I coloured the puss with copics and mounted my little circle with 3D foamies. Then I wrote Hi and just edged a little ink around the ATC and the spotlight circle -  Voila !! I think it's pretty CAS ?!! :-)

So come on all you CAS wizards out there and pop over to see what my Teamies have made and play along with us at FUN WITH ATCs :-)

ARE YOU MUSICALLY CHALLENGED ??

Me again ..... I have been over to MUSICALLY CHALLENGED to look at their latest one and I found a new singer to me... KERLI. She is fascinating and I am really taken with the track for this month ..... CREEPSHOW  :-D  It gets right in your brain.

Anyhoo - I am waffling... here is my creation for this Challenge.

I have used 'Elf' by TokBobok for my main image and coloured her with Promarkers. The background is a freebie paper from Papercraft Magazine and the 'Pines'  are from BECCY's PLACE.

IT's ATC TIME AGAIN

Good morning and Happy Sunday.
I hope you are all going to have a crafting day today :-D
I have made an ATC for the new Challenge over at WICKED WEDNESDAY ATCs and their theme is "Crazy For Daisies". :-)
Now I LOVE daisies so I couldn't resist this one.
I have used 'Mad Scientist' from Smeared Ink and dressed him up with a fabbo daisy hat from Doodle Pantry. The background is also from them. I made a tiny easel ATC and the daisies and scientist are multi printed and fussy cut and then layered up with 3D foam pads. I cut one of the petals off too and put it between his fingers, so he's actually playing 'Loves me - Loves me not'  hahahaha  :-D

SAME FUN JUST A NEW NAME

Hello Saturday Peeps,
I have been waiting for the Opening of CRAFTITUDE - PAPER CRAFTING WITH ATTITUDE... the new name for what was ATCs With Attutitude. :-)  The Challenges are now open to ALL types of  Papercrafting - not just ATCs :-)

I have still made an ATC for Challenge #49 - Anything Goes/Harvest... and I have used a Bugaboo image called "Goofy Cat Teeth". I've turned him into a harvest/halloween kitty by colouring him into a nice ginger puss and then printed him out twice so I could 3D his face and front legs for pop !! 

I added a piece of gauzy ribbon and made a little Boo ticket. His background  I got a long while ago from The Scrappin Cop :-)

OK - I'm off to play with something else now :-D xxxxxx

IT's A SMALL WORLD

Hello Peeps,
I have been playing with Digital Scrapbooking  to make something about Greece for a couple of Challenges :-)
On this I have used an image I bought for one of the Challenges - a digi called "Donkey" from PAPER PRETTIES. They were new to me and I fell in love with a couple of their images and the Donkey was exactly what I needed. He has been digitally coloured and originally looks like this....

I stuck some Watermarking on him so no-one nicks him !!!

Here is my finished creation. I have added loads of stuff about Greece and he is the joke about us having 'DONKEY MAIL' here coz it takes soooooo long for things to get anywhere :-D  LoL

So there we are :-)
