The Hunting of the Snark

Those of you who follow my blog will know that my main 31DOH project was

The Hunting Of The Snark -  a Poem by Lewis Carroll

I had come to the last pages of the book by the end of October
 but I still have spaces in my book - and images on my worktable!

So I am still adding fantasy images (some that could possibly be Snarks!)

This page already had Smeared Ink's 'Hello Kitty' but I added the other image - this was a rubber stamp kindly sent me by Ionabunny aka Gail last month.

I coloured it with Copics and fussy cut it.

I will link this page to 
The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers #122
and
Dream in Darkness Notorious November

The next one I am showing you already had the Tim Holtz bird - I have added the ATC featuring Laurel Burch's cats embossed in black on a marbled background with added colour from Zig real brush markers. 



I will link this page to Ike's Cats only Challenge SUYP #36

The last stanza of the poem already had Hellgnomes Death Digi's Yarrr, but I felt it needed more.


So I added LeighSB's Tangled Rose Collage coloured with Copics.

This is my still my final double page:
Imagination is the only Weapon in the war against Reality - the Cheshire Cat

Happy Crafting!

It's Halloween!!

We went to one of the other pubs in the village last night - and rather liked this pumpkin...



I am still pretty pleased with mine though...



Our evening is just starting but for my granddaughters in Australia it is already over but they had a good time - and they carved a turnip!




Anyway I am just going to share the last few pages of my main 31DOH project:

The Hunting Of The Snark -  a Poem by Lewis Carroll

I finished with this double page in the last post - I am still adding images that could possibly be Snarks!! Some of the images you have already seen as ATCs during the 31 Days.

These are the last few pages -  the first ATC I added is orange card, marbling, washi and a Tim Holtz Bird embossed in black. Some of the other ATCs you have already seen...

This one has one of Leigh's zombies:

One of the cracked critters:

This page has Hellgnomes Death Digi's Yarrr, coloured with Copics and cut out.

This is the last stanza of the poem - in fact Lewis Carroll wrote this first. Actually the last line came to him first, then the rest of the verse and eventually he wrote the rest of the poem!

On the left hand side of this double page is an Oddballs freebie.

And this is my final double page -
 couldn't finish without a Grumpy!! (Smeared Ink - no longer trading)

I have got a couple more things on my worktable - and I do hope to blog them before the night it out - we will see!

Happy Halloween!

Are you waiting for more of my main 31DOH project?

The Hunting Of The Snark -  a Poem by Lewis Carroll

I finished with this double page in the last post - I am still adding images that could possibly be Snarks!! Some of the images you have already seen as ATCs during the 31 Days.

The next page has one of my favourite Smeared Ink (No longer Trading) digis - Hallo Kitty - coloured with Promarkers and cut out.

On the left hand side of this double page I have added a piece of a lovely eco-print sent me by a fellow crafter. I really must have a go at this! On the right are images you have already seen. The winged skellies are from Hellgnome Digis.

Another eco print from my friend and Leigh's Bizarre Beasties.

Another of my favourite Smeared Ink digis - Devil Boy - coloured with  Promarkers and cut out.

The Barrister - one of Henry Holiday's illustrations, made into an ATC.

Just a few more pages to come...

To finish this post I am just going to add a couple of Halloween cards I put together this afternoon.

Both the images used are freebies from Lizzy Love and the Oddballs Newsletter.
For this first card I printed it on a card so that I could just fold it into a card. 
I just added a little colour with Copics.

For the second card I printed the image on a background paper from Dragonslair.
I then coloured it with Copics and added the little witch from Stampin Up.

I then decided to cut the windows and door so they would open and stamp some Stampin Up images behind.

These images were stamped on the inside of an insert  - I stamped more on the side that would be seen on opening the card.

Happy Hopping!

The Hunting Of The Snark -  a Poem by Lewis Carroll

The flasks and flagons are Rick St Dennis rubber stamps coloured with Copics.

Next we have the Broker - one of Henry Holiday's pictures.

The next two have cracked critters on papers from my stash.

Spot Prize 4 / GIVEAWAY WINNER!!

As I was going to St. Ives,
I met a man with seven wives,
Each wife had seven sacks,

Each sack had seven cats,

Each cat had seven kits:

Kits, cats, sacks, and wives,

How many were there going to St. Ives?

The answer to the riddle is of course ONE - the others were going away from St Ives - I did wonder if any of you would start adding up all the cats, kits, sacks and wives...

I had lots of correct answers - so my independent adjudicator picked the name from the hat...

The winner is...
