Day 1 of 31 Days of Halloween

Once again Leigh is hosting 31DOH!

For more details go to

🎃LeighSBDesigns 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop 2019 🎃

Oct 1 - 31, 2020

Presented by
LeighSBDesigns Art Stamps

The Blog Hop linky party opens Oct 1st at 9am PDT and ends at 5 to midnight on Oct 31st!

I will be sharing today's Halloween make on Leigh's page...Day 1

🎃

~~~~~~~

So let's celebrate Halloween!!

As today is the 1st October, my first job was to change all the calendars to October.

You might remember my mixed media one:

I have changed the dates but the page is one I made some years ago. You can also see a spooky card in this photo and a poured canvas with stickers cut on my Cricut.

Today's make (that I have not blogged before) is my other crafty calendar:

The decorated portion started with black card on top of which I placed two layers of paint daubed paper which I had die cut into 'drips' along the bottom.

I used Tim Holtz stamps to stamp the web and spider in Archival.

The dragon and pumpkin image was the progressive freebie for last month on

Limited Runs Stamps Facebook page.

I printed this, coloured it with Copics, cut it out and added it to the background.

I will add this calendar page to Leigh's Linky!

Happy Hopping!

Leigh SB's Stay Crafty at Home Blog Hop (Aug 7 through Sept 25) #48

Well Halloween is definitely creeping up on us...and Leigh has been releasing her Spooktember Halloween and her Stamptember releases!

Take a look!

But we are still taking part in the Stay Crafty at Home Blog Hop...

Stay Crafty @ Home Blog Hop 2020

hosted by
LeighSBDesigns Art Stamps

Join our 2 month "Anything Goes" hop & stay inspired, creative & safe while crafting to your hearts content @ home!
See HOP POST for details and rules!
Play fair and have lots of fun!
Stay Inspired & Stay Safe!

Only two more posts...

Today I am using one of Leigh's new releases: Bram Batleigh

And, yes, I am sure you have been waiting for the third set of three ATCs.

First I made the backgrounds. These are ATC sized pieces of Yupo card decorated with alcohol inks - just dripped on the surface and allowed to spread and dry.

I trimmed these to slightly less than ATC size and added them to lilac card

(2.5 by 3.5 inches).

I coloured the bats with Copics and cut them out. I then added them to the backgrounds.

Next I added purple bat confetti.

I will add these to Leigh's Linky

And I am sure you are waiting for the pocket letter?

However I didn't stop there today as I still had three alcohol inked ATC pieces on my desk and also some printouts of the current Limited Runs Freebie courtesy of this month's current progressive on

Limited Runs Stamps Facebook page.

I used the pre-coloured version - but I also have the line drawing printed...

In a similar way to the above I made these ATCs:

Today's quiz - there are a number of differences in one of them - what are they?

Happy Crafting!

LeighSB Designs Christmas in July Blog Hop #5

Once again LeighSBDesigns is hosting a blog hop

to help keep us creatively inspired and busy

while staying safe at home during this terrible pandemic!

This time it is to celebrate CHRISTMAS in JULY

As we are in another 6 weeks lockdown here in Melbourne

it will definitely keep me busy!

Join us & stay creative & get a jump on your Christmas cards & gifts!
See

Today I have been making ATCs...

The first is because it is almost the end of this month's current progressive on

Limited Runs Stamps Facebook page.

And yes I am last minute again - hard to understand when the image has been printed and on my desk for ages!! My intention was to make a pocket letter - so I was going to colour the robot 9 times - what with one thing and another, I have just managed to colour one. I placed this on a marbled background on a scrap of grey card.

I then just added some wrench brads.

My second piece of marbling looked to me like a tree trunk and branch.

This reminded me of Leigh's

I will add this to Leigh's Linky.

Happy Crafting!

Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop 2020 Post #5

This is my fifth post in the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop 2020!

In the last three Coffee Lovers Blog Hops, I completed 20 posts, including little competitions with prizes -

This time, we are in the process of moving house -

So will have to see...

I hope to be adding trivia questions with the chance to win a prize or two - so please keep calling and commenting - but I am not sure of the mail at the moment! I am now in Australia and I know that post to and from the UK is currently taking about 6 weeks!

Let's hope things improve!!

In this post I am again using the coffee monster - the current progressive freebie image on

Limited Runs Stamps Facebook page.

(That should say May 15 to June 13)

So I showed you these two in the last two posts...

And yes, you may have guessed it... I am on my way to making a pocket letter.

I printed the image ATC size, 9 times, and coloured all the images with Copics.
I cut them out and added them to brown bases matted with scraps from Websters pages.

The 9 ATCs can then be put in a pocket letter folder - but as it then makes them difficult to photograph, I am showing them with and without.

I arranged the scraps of Websters Pages paper in a pattern across the ATCs.

I will link this to 2020 Spring Summer Coffee Lovers Hop

I printed the image and coloured it with Copics, with my small selection of colours

I cut it out and added it to a brown base matted with a scrap from Websters pages.
