<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><i>Hello everyone! </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><i>And a HAPPY EASTER to anyone who celebrates it. </i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><i>It's another month and another challenge from lovely Lizzy. You can find image used <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/240533769/instant-download-kawaii-creepy-cute?ref=pr_faveshops">here</a> on her Etsy shop. Looking thru my crafting shelf I found an old shopping bag and immediately I felt I wanted to use it for my design team inspiration project. I found some heat transfer sheets and after transferring image to my Cameo software I printed it out. I coloured it with my Promarkers and scanned it back into the software. Here is the coloured picture:</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><i>After that step I created stencil for my background and after cutting in on my Silhouette Cameo I used watercolours to paint it. After scanning it back into the computer it looked like this:</i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><i>Next step included combining all the pieces together and using offset function creating cut lines. Due to the background I just wanted a quick cut so erased a lot of offset parts.

My DT project is this little Valentines card made for art swap and used my silhouette to cut it out. I hate fussy cutting and decided to transfer the digi stamp to the studio. Stay tuned for the reminded of the challenge blog post as I will be making a small tutorial of how to do it. </div>

I used image number #281 Bucky be mine and transferred it into the silhouette studio. Cut it out together with the fri fold card then used silhouette made stencil to cut the background stencil out. Using watercolours added the hearts and after colouring the Bunny with water colours adhered it to the page . At the end using grey watercolour added some shadowing.</div>

I hope you like this little and simple card. Thanks for looking at the post!</div>

Hello! I am aware it has been so long I believe its been over a year. I had such a difficult patch in my life but now I'm back and feeling positive. In my personal life there had been so many changes... I moved to a new lovely flat, changed job positions and most of all had my little rainbow... my baby girl was born last October. So anyway... one of my New Year's Goals ( not resolutions) was to finish or restart things I quit and of course my blog and DT work was one of them. I have to say it would not be possible without lovely Lizzy, the owner of Oddball Arts. She has been really supportive when I needed it and even when I had not participated all that time in her team she kept me on. I had been 'dropped' from other teams but not Lizzy's. She is one amazing woman!</div>

Anyway, new year and new challenge themed ' Winter tale'! Please pop in to the <a href="http://oddballstamps.blogspot.co.uk/">Oddball</a> blog and look at some amazing inspirations created by the DT members. You can also find the amazing digital stamps by Lizzy <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/OddballArtCo?ref=l2-shopheader-name">here</a>.</div>

For my post I decided to do a mixed media page in my DT album. I used Dylusions sprays for the background and as the ink was still wet I sprinkled glitter on top in similar colours. Afterwards added some distress inks to the borders of the page and into the page. Using white acrylic pains and the mixed media stencil I added the white circles (snow). I sprayed it all with the clear adhesive. While it was drying I coloured the image of this kawaii Big Eye Owl on the tree using my Promarkers and white Posca pen for highlights. As best as I could I cut the image. I had torn some textured paper and glued it randomly changing the colours. Ten adhered the image and punched out some circles. Inked them with my Dew Drops chalk inks and black marker for the dots and lines. Added trees and snowflakes wood veneers and using liquid pearls added swirls. They are free handed so not perfect but that's what i Like. Messy and free. Printed the quote using my Dymo label maker and used Promarkers to shade them. </div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The blog hop has been such a fun and I just loved working on this little and very simple card. I used a new digital set by Lizzy and you can find it <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/258213735/instant-download-includes-sentiments">here.</a> I used my watercolours for the bottle accenting it with Wink of Stella in clear. I am in love with anything with splatter but decided just to add a touch of it on the card. Life has been so busy lately that unfortunately I can not spend as much time crafting as I did before. However I am hoping to be back with full force soon.</span></div>

So here comes the day again when we celebrated the anniversary of our wedding. Gosh I just can't believe in was 10 years ago when we said I DO. However this time we had been sad despite still being in love. Recently we had a personal tragedy which I really am not ready to talk about but we lost a precious gift. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway as we both were not in full celebration mood we had not prepared any gifts this year. It was no longer important so I just made this little 10 minute card for my OH. The flourish card was already pre cut in this design and I had purchased it in local Hobby Craft. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used ppinkydolls art digital stamp called Forever Friends and you can find the shop <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/ppinkydollsart?ref=l2-shopheader-name">here.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I coloured the image with my Pro Markers but as the image itself is really small and I did not wanted to spend a lot of time working on the card I only filled out the most important parts of the design. And I actually like it that way. Then I added the wooden embellishment sentiment ' awesome' which my Husband often uses (especially after the Lego movie - and here the song plays out in my mind again...) and added some pink rhinestones. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the card I had written about how much I love him and so on and so on. Lastly I added a little bit of Wink of Stella shimmer to the wooden sentiment and the image.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I ordered just one cover but felt I really had to put my own touch there too. So I decided to use this beautiful Sherri Baldy digital stamp and use her as a main focus on the page. As it is she is also a sponsor on our <a href="http://cardsgalorechallenges.blogspot.co.uk/">Crafts Galore Encore Challenges</a> so feel free to have a look on the blog and take part in Anything goes challenge for August. Also have a look at Sherri's digital stamp <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/SherriBaldy">Etsy store. </a> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So I used Tim Holz Distress Ink to colour the background. Then the bottom half was covered with another green colour to give the effect of green grass. I added bricks afterwards using my stencil mask followed by black swirls with another one. On both I used Distress Ink. I printed and cut out the digital stamp colouring it with my Promarkers adding highlights with white marker. I used black marker to write the quote I really loved which I had on my Pinterest board. I did the white hearts and pain splatters with my acrylic paint and watercolours to create the shadow. With a marker I had drawned the lines to imitate the borders and after it all had dried out I laminated the cover leaving gap for punching the holes. </span></div>

Hello! Hope everyone is OK. The weather outside the window for the past few days reminded me more of autumn season than summer with loads and loads of rain and wind! So been trying to snuggle at home with a warm cup of beverage and sitting cozy in the bed. Unfortunately my kitty cat has been poorly and for the past 3 days had been receiving an ongoing treatment from the Vet. </div>

I made this lovable and cute robot card for a family members Birthday and tried making it more masculine. Not sure I succeeded to full extend but I love it. If you fancy having a go at creating similar project using this whimsical digital stamp from sweet Lizzy Love you can find him <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/238999256/instant-download-digi-stamp-digital?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=robot%20digi%20stamp&ref=sr_gallery_4">here</a>. </div>

I used Mojo Mondays challenge for the layout of the card but had only trimmed the front page. wanted the card to be quite simple so only used papers from one collection. Even the vines are die cutted from the same paper pack. At the end I just added a blue flower and finished off the card. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I just looked at Oddball Art Stamps etsy store and had instantly fallen in love with this little piggy. I mean how can you not? If you are interested you can purchase her <a href="https://www.etsy.com/transaction/1046391358">here. </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used several techniques to finish this creation starting with embossing hearts background. Unfortunately the powder was quite old and with some remnants of other colours hence the lack of clear image. I coloured Elsa with my Promarkers using shades of pink: Antique pink, Baby pink, Dusky pink and Pale blossom. For the hooves I used Tan and Sunkissed pink. For the bow I used Duck egg and Cadet Blue and the little heart with Poppy and Red. I used some white marker to highlight some areas and the whole image was treated with clear Wink of Stella. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used Ranger's Peeled Pain distress ink to colour the top part of the background as I based my layout on Mojo Monday's sketch challenge. With a little damp paper towel I wiped the excess of the embossed hearts. I cut the strip and the bottom of the background out of pattern paper and adhered to the card. I mounted the image on another dark cardstock attaching it to the rest of the card. The flowers were also coloured with Promarkers and the highlights and shimmer were added before glueing them into the card. The last step was to add the rhinestones to the flowers and the card was ready. </div>

Recently we received bad news concerning a passing of a close family member. I have been so upset I felt no joy in crafting. But now I decided there was a time to pick myself up and this sentiment made my smile. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used Dylusion sprays for the background with ghost masking technique. Afterwards added gold stain paint by Ranger to create the the brick effect . Afterwards added the digi stamp ( I used my pro markers to colour the image) with the stars die cutting them and glueing into the paper. Unfortunately I had not planned my sentiment too well and had to squeeze the words for the quote. At the end I used wink of Stella to add a bit of shimmer to the page.</div>

HI! I know this post is so so late and I just need to apologize for this. Life has been hectic recently with job, course work and home things. But hopefully all is on the mend. Oddball Art Stamp still has ongoing challenge on the blog so pop in and see whats happening there you can find the blog <a href="http://oddballstamps.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/spring-challenge.html">here. </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the reminder I did this card for my Mother for the Mother's Day. In Polish tradition it is always celebrated on the 26th of May so I will be posting her shortly. I had so much fun colouring and making this card. The sentiment can be loosely translated to : 'On Mother's day ... I wish you can just relax'. <i> </i>I hope she will like it!</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started this page by colouring the digital image from Lizzy's collection. I used my Promarkers and my newest purchase and love A Wink of Stella clear pen. I wish the picture could give justice to the shimmer but unfortunately I am not as skilled photographer as I wish I was. Then I painted the background using my watercolour set and stamped the border using archival ink. Next step was making my own stencil and just by using a single punch hole in the acetate I managed to create this small spots using white acrylic paint. Next step was finding some papers and washi for banners and I am just in love with those pastel colours. After adhering to the page I added the basket and using my watercolours once more did some shading. The only thing left to d was to add the sentiment printed with my labelling machine and all done! </div>

Hello! Can you believe it's already April? Hope the April's fools was kind to you. Fortunately I did not give in and fortunately survived until the afternoon. So as you know there is a new (well maybe not so new ) trend going on started by the lovely Janette Lane and I just got sucked right in. I am still quite new to the whole concept as only made 4 or 5 letters but I love it! So as it is another month our DT team on Crafts Galore Encore has a new challenge and for grabs are 6 images used in team creations to choose from the lovely Sherri Baldi. The theme is make a card (a made letter card) and you can enter your challenge <a href="http://cardsgalorechallenges.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/make-card-for-april.html">here . </a></div>

I have been so lucky to be chosen a member of a design team for Crafts Galore Encore Challenge Blog and from 1st of March I will be sharing my creations with fellow DT members!<br />
<br />
<br />
My first project was a card I made for my work colleague for her wedding we attended in February. I had hand drawn and painted the digi myself trying to catch the likeliness of the couple. Used my cameo cuts from Silhouette Store and the gold toppers, flowers and gems I purchased in Hobby Craft.<br />
<br />

I hope you all have a nice Valentine day spend with OH or friend or family! Just wanted to share with you my recent love for notebook making. I am obsessed! As it goes there is also a new challenge on Facebook group for all the Oddballers and a little birdie told me there will be a new DT call coming soon so stay tuned!<br />
<br />
Here are some photos of my recent project for Anything goes challenge, click <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/Mixed.Mediaology/">here</a> to enter the group!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I used this amazing digi stamp from Lizzy Love's Etsy store, you can find it <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/OddballArtCo?ref=l2-shopheader-name">here</a> . I printed her out on a heavy cardstock ensuring she was positioned in the right corner. Afterwards I scored the lines for the Midori size notebook. I painted the image with my promarkers and sharpies and added highlights with white posca pen. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Next step was to colour the background and I used my watercolours to do so. Before they dried out I used a baby wipe to bled the colours together and allowed to dry. Mixed black with some white and added some darker shading so the images could stand out a little. Using colourful pens did some writing in the background and a uneven border. Do not like using a ruler to do this as I love this messy uneven look.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Used similar method for the back and the flap. Then I adhered 2 small magnets to close the notebook together and attached the bakers twine pom pom for the page marker before glueing scrapbook paper to the back . Added the lines to the background of the paper and cut the heavy cardstock pages to the back. Used a heavy duty stapler to bind it all together. At the end added red and black washi tape on the layer of double sided tape to keep the washi together and cover the staples.<br />
<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">So our lovely Lizzy Love started her adventure and cooperation with another stamp company. She had released her rubber stamps with amazing <a href="http://www.whimsystamps.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=19_90">Whimsy Stamps</a> ! Such good news!

I used Oddball Arts Stamp which is 4"2 on the longest side and coloured with my Promarkers. I added a cut out from one of my old scrapbook papers and added a paper flower cut out. I sized and cut the tab for the filofax and painted it with my Dylusion Red Post Box colour spray and used some gold distress stain paint from Ranger on the edges to give it some sparkle. Then using my archival ink I stamped the hearts background and using a stencil and white pain did some do swirls. Used black marker to write the quote found on my pinterest board and do the border. Afterwards went off to laminate it and punch the holes for the rings! simple!</div>

Firstly I used light watered down white gesso to cover some of the sparkles on this silver glitter page. It was really silver and I felt it would take too much from the page. Then I used some blue stain paint from Tim Holtz to add a bit of colour to the background. I used dry kitchen towel to blend it to the background a little. When it dried I added some perfect pearls to give the page some glimmer here and threre. Sprayed with a bit of mist to set it in. Meanwhile coloured the little digi stamp from Oddball Art using my Letraset Promarkers and used a bit of paint for highlights before cutting her out. After stamping the background with heart background stamp I glued the image on using mod podge covering only back of the picture. Added some bling swirls purchased from Hobbycraft and some liquid perfect pearls from Ranger. I cut out the snowflake templates from my cameo and used modeling paste to finish of the page.</div>

Hello everyone! Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday season. Like for most of us December is a really busy time of the year so here is a quick entry of my recently made Christmas card. I used Lizzy's from Oddball Art Stamps Ellie the Elf image no: 120 from her etsy shop. You can find the store <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/OddballArtCo/search?search_query=christmas&order=date_desc&view_type=gallery&ref=shop_search">here</a> and as a Designer Team member participated for the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/Mixed.Mediaology/">Facebook challenge.</a></div>

I used some old papers from my stash as a background and cut some strips to back the photo. The digi stamp is coloured with promarkers and the litte tag comes from Smashbook Christmas pad from K&Company. Added them some red sequins and few perfect pearl drops. </div>

I often make slideshows as a nicer form of showing off my photos and this time stumbled upon this free trip advisor programme. I love it!<br />

I hope I will make all my Christmas cards myself for this year but with quite a few projects I am currently working on I hope I will be able to do this. So here is this adorable card using this cute Magnolia stamp. I coloured her using my new Promarkers and added some roses from my stash and little grunge heart. The letters above the bakers twine say : on your birthday.<br />

The way it works at the moment is that the DT entries are split into 2 groups hence my late posting. October's challenge was to make a spooky card or item like Halloween but not necessarily. I made this mixed media page in my altered photo album using silhouette cuts and Lizzy Love's Zombie girl digital stamp no: 46. Here are some pictures of the finished page.<br />

I am so so lucky to have been chosen to be an Oddball Art Stamp design team member and already have participated in the first Facebook challenge. As I am currently studying for my level 5 qualifications at work I decided to do something I could use. Here is my altered school diary for 2014-2015 academic year. </div>

I used my Neocolor II watersolubles, acrylic paints, Dylusion sprays, Rangers Distress stain and liquid pearls for the background. Adhered lace ribbon and added a digi stamp by Oddball Art Stamps. Added modelling paste, handmade fimo hearts and some flowers. At the end using my labeling machine printed out the year.</div>
