The Dark of Night.....

September 4th 2014

A new month which means new prompts at the Unruly Paperarts Site for the new Readers Art Quest inspiration & the theme is "The Dark of Night"!

I've made a journal page with a gorgeous La-La Land image and titled the page "Going Batty" - a bit of a Halloween theme to it. Background is paints and I made a cobweb stencil on my Silhouette and sprayed white Dylusions spray to create the effect - which I love!

 

Haunted House, bats & stars are also cut with my Silhouette. Image coloured with Copic Markers. There is more great inspiration at the Website -and we would love to see your creations inspired by the prompts - just link them up!

La La Land Aussie Gift Bags

January 27th 2014

Today is a Public Holiday here in Australia - because Australia Day was yesterday (Sunday) we have an actual holiday today so I am sharing these Australian themed gift bags which although they were made as xmas gifts they are still very Australian themed!

I made these gift bags for 2 Japanese visitors who shared Christmas lunch with us. Of course I left it to the last minute to decide I was going to give them a small gift each so was madly hunting for new images and then colouring and putting them all together Xmas Eve & Xmas Morning!

Gorgeous "Marci & Luka" characters are digital stamps from La La Land - I had seen these images in rubber before but I was so excited when I saw that they were available as Digital Stamps - I snapped them straight up and got them printed.

Then of course I had no Australiana paper on hand or anything so I had to hunt the net again - I found the pre coloured gumnut frame and image from Nana Vic's Digitals - what a bonus!! And then the wooden background came from Dana Garson Design Etsy Store. So these bags are a real compilation of various images!!

I loved them and so did the Japanese guests and they also loved the Australian chocolate goodies inside!!!
