Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween to all my friends who celebrate this holiday and to help you celebrate here is a spooky pumpkin friend to give you a scare!!!

When I found out I had the inspiration post for Halloween day for the lovely Glimps stamps I knew exactly which image I wanted to share with you. Introducing "Pumpkin"

Love him as much as I did?? You can pick him up here. 

As soon as I had him printed I knew I wanted to make him a spooky scary pumpkin so i went to town with my markers and tried to make that pumpkin face as scary as possible by adding as much colour and shadows as possible.....

Then I matted him onto some white cardstock to make pop and finished it off with a few pumpkin stickers and spider web diecuts. 

And even though here in Australia I don't celebrate Halloween this has become one of my favourite cards I have ever made.

Hope you love this pumpkin man as much as I did and may your Halloween be spooky and scary!

What do you believe you are??

When I saw the quote...

We are what we Believe we are

I knew it would be perfect to pair with this superhero image from Glimps stamps and couldn't wait to get them together. Next was what to do with them???

I knew I wanted it to be something in my planner that I would look at everyday so that it could ninspire me to be as great as I could be and so I thought what better than a page marker. I have always wanted to try one of these washi page markers but never had enough matching washi tapes but when I heard my favourite washi store was shutting its bricks and mortor store to go online and selling a lot of its washi at almost half price I knew it was the perfect time to get the washi I needed.

First off I made the washi background but then when I went to add the image I realised it was too small oops.....
But even a mistake can be turned into a positive with a little thinking and I used the too small boards to make a pen holder...

Then it was onto making a bigger page marker that would suit the image better....

And the back with some notepaper because who doesn't need more notepaper

I love how they have come out and can't wait to add them to my planner. Hope you love them too and don't forget to pop over to the Glimps store and check out all the amazing images over there.

Summertime has hit!!!

Even though it meant to be spring here in Australia it feels like summer has hit and so that means summer images. When searching for an image to use for my current inspiration post for Glimps stamps I couldn't go past this cute little girl with her huge ice cream. I mean who doesn't love a good double decker cone when it warms up.

This card very nearly didn't come off after a marker globbed all over my image halfway through colouring but with a little luck and perseverance I managed to rescue it and love how it has turned out.

Guess this shows that you should never bin an image until you have tried everything to fix it.

Anyway I hope you love my fix and the image as well which you can pick up over at the Glimps store ... www.glimps.it

Until next time
Happy crafting
