QUOTH THE RAVEN CHALLENGE #34 - WEEK 3 POE-triotic

Hello and welcome to my piece for WEEK 3 over at Challenge #34 QUOTH THE RAVEN - POE-triotic  . I have completed another two pages of my altered mobile fone instruction booklet :-D

The flag is from LJS Designs 'You're a Firework' Kit and the POE image is from ButIDigress.

I used some scraps of card to make the red. white and blue edge borders with a Martha Stewart punch.

The Phrase along the middle is a quote by Mark Twain -

"In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot."


Thank you for popping over and we hope to see you play along at QUOTH THE RAVEN.

SUMMER HOLIDAYS

Hello and Happy Saturday,

Another spot of silliness today with a tag I made.
The background is a stencil I cut and then sprayed through and I have used the left-over bit on this tag. I liked the effect the spritzing left.

The main images  I coloured with Promarkers and are 'Suitcases' by TIDDLYINKS and 'Bikini Frog' from QKR STAMPEDE.

Thanks for stopping by. :-D

GIRAFFES

Hi Peeps and Happy Friday,

I was overcome with an attack of 'cutesy-ness' this morning and now I have to go have a lie down hahaha !!!

Don't you just LUV Giraffes ??.... and what very strange things they are when you study them a bit. Did you know that they are so supremely genetically evolved for their surroundings, that if a sudden change in their environment happened, they would be incapable of evolving quick enough to adapt and would get wiped out ?!!!!

Anyhow, I have made this creation for the Challenge over at MELJEN's Challenge Blog and the theme is Bookworm .... be inspired by a book.
I have chosen "GIRAFFES CAN'T DANCE" by Giles Andreas and have used 'Giraffe's Necktie' by Meljen for my main image. He was coloured with Promarkers and the background is from the 'Safari' set by Catia Cunha.

Anyways - I am off now as I have a card commission to do, but I may pop back later :-D 
Thanks for stopping by xxxxxx

MELJENS Challenge #219 - Bookworm

LET ME TELL YOU A STORY.....

Hello Peeps,
Here is a little ATC that I have done using such a sweet image of a girl reading. It is by A DAY FOR DAISIES and is called "I can read" and I have paired it with "Chick Feed" and "Prince of the Coop", which I superimposed onto her blank book page and added some writing. She is reading them a story and telling them how they will be when they grow up. R is for Rooster. (that's if they all get to be boys of course LoL)
I coloured her with Promarkers and stuck her onto a farm background using sticky foam pads.

Thank you for stopping by. :-D

MORE ATCs

Happy Saturday Peeps,
Well I am still coaxing my Mojo back and not stressing him out by doing some more ATCs.
Here is one I made today to enter a couple of Challenges with.

The image is called "Dog with Party Hat" and he is by CREATIVE BUG. I can't find him in the Shop though to give you a direct link. :-(

I have coloured him with Promarkers and put him in a photoshop paddling pool.His background shows what my sky is like today, but it's still very sticky and I reckon the sun will come out later :-D

Here's another one with 'Scuba Bear' from MELJEN.

I am going to enter him in a colour challenge - amongst others and here is their brief.

I coloured him with Copics and added some shells from my beach :-D He's also got some Amazing Glaze on his mask but it doesn't really show on this photo.

I am going to do a bit of crafting down here in the cool today, so no doubt I shall be back later.

Thanks for stopping by :-D xxx

QUOTH THE RAVEN

Good morning Peeps,
Here I am - albeit a little late - with this month's QUOTH THE RAVEN Challenge #34 - POE-triotic. 

This month we want to see entries themed for the 4th July celebrations AND also related to EDGAR ALLAN POE, who was an American.

I have used a digital scrapbooking kit called  'AMERICAN HOLIDAY' but I can't find who created it. !! :-(

I printed out 8 flags and made a Tea Bag folding flower and glued a POE portrait in the centre, and also cut out the POE letters and added a picture of E A POE finishing off with rubber stamp lettering.

I hope you will come over and play along, but remember - your entries must have some connection to EDGAR ALLAN POE to be in with a chance at the Prize.

This Challenge runs until 31st JULY 2014.

IT'S TOO HOT !!!

Hello Peeps,
Well - it's just too darn hot upstairs so I am hiding away down here in my little craft room in the cool basement :-D
I am still trying to coax my Mojo into coming back so decided to do another ATC using one of SPYDER's images that I think was a freebie whilst I was away, but I saw this little chap and bought him the other day.... sooooo cute. He's called "RE-LION ME !" and you can get him at SPYDER'S OTHER CORNER for a mere 99p......baaaaaargiiiiinnnn !!! :-D
Anyways, I printed him out 6 times and layered him up to make him 3D. I wanted to do one of those wobble heads on him but I don't have the springy thingies and try as I might, I couldn't make one with wire that worked :-(
The background was made by daubing TH Distress Ink (Peeled Paint) through the cut outs left by my die cut leaves and then I used my mini alpha stamps by Studio g to do the lettering.

So there here is Peeps.

FEELING A BIT WICKED !!

Hello Peeps,
Well here we are half way through the week and it's so hot upstairs, I thought I would come down to play and see if I can kick-start the old Mojo.
I have made an ATC (start small right ???!) to enter into the A Step In The Dark Challenge and I have used an image by their Sponsor AURORA WINGS which is called "Flying Kitten" (I can't find it in the Shop but I know it's one of hers). I copied and flipped the image and made a dark and light theme. My kitties were coloured with Primacolour pencils and Promarkers.

So - are you GOOD or are you BAD today ????? Bwaahaha !!! :-D (Fiendish cackle)
