WOYWW - NOT MUCH... I AM CLEEEEEEEAN

Hello Peeps,
This is the 2nd time I have entered into WOYWW... it's something I forget to do or else I am too ashamed of the complete mess !!!! LoL
So, we are hosted by Stamping Ground and you can go HERE to see.
I actually came to do this after reading one of my FAVE Blogs.... THE HOUSE OF BEARS.... and they reminded me about WOYWW. Poorly Bears have all been sickly over the Holidays and I think they gave it to me 'cyberly'..... if that's a word !!?  If not - I still like it so I'll use it LoL
Anyhoo - here is my workdesk this Wednesday .....



On my desk is a stamp I just made using the cuttings left after mounting a rubber stamp on the sticky, padded backing. I have made a sort of mosaic thingy - cool eh ?!!  There is also a little Folk Art pusscat that I am going to use on an ATC AND - especially for the BEARS... in case they visit Me.... here are a couple of possibly very distant relatives that my DD bought me many, many years ago. They are only 1 1/2 inches tall and dressed as lil' sailors :-D Cute huh ?!!

Well - that's it. I had a mahusive clear up today and put all my Christmas stuff away and cleaned my stamps. !!!.... Shock Horror !!! LoL... so now I will sit and decide what to do next :-D
Bye for now and Thanks for visiting xxxxxxxxxxxxx



FREEBIE FRIDAY - A LITTLE LATE !!

Good Morning - sorry I am a little late with FREEBIE FRIDAY 43... I lost track of days with the Holidays and all LoL
Here we are continuing with our Greek theme......

SMUDGY ANTICS CHALLENGE - SCRAP IT UP

Happy Monday Peeps.... here we are virtually into the New Year :-)

        Welcome back for another challenge with Smudgy Antics

The challenge theme this fortnight is 
"SCRAP IT UP!"  
Using at least one stamped image (real or digi) and following the rules posted on the left sidebar, we at Smudgy Antics challenge you to use your leftovers.  It's the green thing to do.  Don't let anything go to waste!  You can use your paper scraps, but feel free to use leftover wrapping paper, paper rolls, gift bags, gift boxes and more from the holiday season.

You can stick with paper crafting or you can go three dimensional.  The more creative, the better.  We love it when you guys and gals think outside the box!

Today I made a Tag................ I used some scraps for the background (can't remember where these papers are from ) My good friend SUSAN S sent me a little pack of goodies - based on fortune telling - and I have used a couple of bits on here. I made some more sentiment tabs to match the font of the one she sent me. My Bats were leftovers from a big project I did a couple of weeks back. These are from the "Little Bit Batty Set" by SMEARED INK. I stuck them onto little strips of acetate so they look like they are flying out the door. You can't really see that well on the photo :-)


I hope you will come over to SMUDGY ANTICS to see what my DT Sisters have made for you and to play along with us. You must have loads of scraps to use up - right ???!!
This is my last creation as a DT Member for Smudgy Antics coz I want to concentrate more on drawing my designs for SMEARED INK, but I shall still be hanging around in the SMEARED & SMUDGED FORUM and playing along hopefully with some of the Challenges, so I am not really going anywhere LoL  :-)

Challenges I am entering:

Dragons Dream Tag It On 132 - Behind Closed Doors
Paper Makeup - Anything Goes with a Digi

POOPED !!

Hello Peeps...
Well I don't know about you but I am totally pooped after the Holidays ! Also crashed with a chest infection so that didn't help me none :-(  Anyhoo - things are getting a bit better now and at least it's all out of the way (Hmmm... bit of a Bah Humbug moment there eh ??!!!)

So - today I have done a scrap page for the VERY SKETCHY Challenge over at SMEARED & SMUDGED FORUM.
The Prize is this Raven King print tank top  and I want is dearly :-)
                           
Everyone who enters at The Challenger gets a free digi too, so it's winners all round eh ??
                                           

Here's what I made with Sketch 2 - which I rotated ...



For my page I used a basic blue backing which I wrote all the stressy words of stuff we have to do during the 'festivities'. I used a whole lot of pieces from the Anatomy 101 Set from SMEARED INK to make up my skellie, and added Watchful Eye on the top for the festive head !!! I made up my own senti circle which an appropriate senti for how I feel now :-)

One of the other Challenges if Junk Funk and we are to use Masking Tape. I used sets of eyes - also from the Anatomy 101 Set and printed them onto masking tape which I stuck across the middle :-D Cool eh ?!!

I have made a bunch of Thank You cards to send out. Can't remember where I got this daisy image from... maybe it will come to me later. Anyhoo, I coloured them with Copics and made a punch border mat, then added some string. I think I need the string to be a bit thinner, but that's all I got right now :-)


Crafting world has been a bit quiet what with the Holidays and all, but I bet we are all going to be really busy again in the new year. !!

WoW - we are very nearly there !!!! Hope you are enjoying all the marvelous creations my Smudgy Sisters are making for you ? Welcome to DAY 11.
You should have arrived here from the Joyous JENN, but if not - don't worry... the Blog Hop Roll is over here on my sidebar ------------------------------------------------>>>>>

                            

Today I have for you another Tag - made with one of my newly released '12 Days of Creepmas' images  .... "10 Lords a Leaping". available only at SMEARED INK. He was coloured digitally before being printed. I used a large tag as my base and stitched some Black Christmas tree paper onto it. Then I used the sheet music for the song - 12 Days of Christmas - and made a torn/distressed edge and slightly curled the corners. I stuck this on and placed my digi image on top. I added a bow and a snowflake - covered with Stickles - and added a small skully charm :-)


So now your next stop on the Hop should be 'Cheery CANDACE' to see what gorgeous Chrimbo delights she has for us today :-) 
Have fun on the Hop and I will see you again for the last day - Day 12  on Monday 23rd December :-)
