doodling is DONE!

Posted on 16/05/2011 by

Well, it was hardly ZEN but it’s finally done!! I am totally NOT the relaxed, “just doodle it and it will work out” person that I suspect you really need to be to embrace this art form.  I agonized over … Continue reading →

Doodling

Posted on 13/05/2011 by

I have been doodling like mad in spare moments, and am just about to start my “project” but am terrified that I will mess it up.  It doesn’t help that I have realized it’s Friday the 13th!  DOH! I have … Continue reading →

What is on my workdesk is (and I know I am late to this) Zentangle doodles. I have a plan, and if it comes together it will be very cool.  Regular and observant readers will possibly be able to guess … Continue reading →

Cheeky cards

Posted on 10/05/2011 by

Is that post title too groan worthy?  LOL! I stumbled across a cute card template.  Very old, back to 2008, but I thought it was just darling as well as amusing. She uses “I’m behind you 100%” and “you two … Continue reading →

Frustration!

Posted on 06/05/2011 by

Not scrapping today – I am preparing for a crop.  We do a pot luck most months, which is fab because there are so many good cooks that attend. Always a feast. This month we are opting for fish&chips but … Continue reading →

WOYWW 100 – flowers

Posted on 04/05/2011 by

SDC29 – sketch

Posted on 03/05/2011 by

A sketch this time, so really not much else to do but a card.  To be honest,  I usually do the Stampotique challenge in some other format (let’s see – wall art, milk carton, nested boxes, figure-in-a-rose, pyramid box….) but … Continue reading →

Using a Wordle Word cloud

Posted on 02/05/2011 by

These are Mac specific instructions, sorry PC folk.  A couple of my UKS ladies suggest CutePDF and PrimoPDF will do something similar on a PC so I am happy to be able to have that in here as well. Here … Continue reading →

Sunday-someplace-else (Nichol Magouirk)

Posted on 01/05/2011 by

I love How-To videos and get so much information from them.  I really like Nicol’s series “From Start to Finish” where she makes a layout … from start to finish! I love her style, her multi-photo layouts, and the handy … Continue reading →
