Goodbye Madde


Hi Friends, no card today but I just wanted to share this picture of my beautiful wonderful dog
" MADDE"
 of just under 14 years who died  this morning , very unexpected and I was just not ready, but her poor old heart gave out on her.
When we get these dogs they become such a part of your family that their leaving has so much impact.
 She was the most loyal, friendliest, lovable, remarkable dog who always sat under my feet when I was crafting/creating that it will seem strange her not being there.
 Miss you Madde girl, crafting will not be the same without you.

When I saw this image over at the Octopode Factory I just had to have him.
He just looks so much like Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow that's it's amazing!!!

Who's been.....


Hi Everyone, sometimes its nice just to have a creative play and that's what I did with this.
I found these digi images called "Dilly Beans Images" and I love em!!! in fact recently I have found a few digi image sites with some real quirky images that I have just had to have..... must be that other strange side coming out in me!!!
 As you have read a few times lately I have decided to get back to making my own papers and generally just getting  a little messy and dirty with inks, paints and other mediums as I want to have a try at creating an "art journal" as well as being able to add lots of interesting textures to my cards.
These Alice in wonderland images were great to colour and I added a few extra elements as in tree and leaves stamped and inked onto book pages, taking B/W paper and changing the colour and adding other stamps, plus I even  did some doodling around the edge just  for some fun.
I am going to enter this into the following challenges
Forever Night Challenge-Mysterious Findings
Creative Card Crew - Anything goes
By the Cute and Girly- All things Bright and Beautiful
Squiggle Stamps- Halloween

Hi Everyone, When I first saw these images of Goth Angel and Draco Goth I was soooo in love with them- are they not Fantastic.
These images and others are available at Bizzy Becs store for $2.00 each untill the 31st October'
I have been into making my own background papers lately and here is another one using Distress inks, various stamps and embossing , a bit of paper peicing for her dress and gloves, burlap and belnding solution for the wings, cuttlebug di hearts  and that wonderful quote, well that is from the Addams Family.
I loved that series when I was a kid and  confess I still do- so quirky and so amusing, I dont ever think there will be anything quite like this ever again. This quote came from  Wednesday Addams.
