Here as promised are the pics. First up is my purchases...including close-ups...









This LO is a lift of one my dear Miss created....using some of my new ledger papers....and paint, flicked across the page...love the idea's..










Dodgey pic. but all were taken tonight...just couldn't find the right adjustment on the camera..forgive the flash bounce. Tried for a quick simple design this time...the journal block is using one of the chippie shapes I picked up while at Spottie. I stamped the black flourish and penned in the outline and dots that were embossed on the shape..really happy with the effect...
























Another dodgey pic....hand drawn title...my dear Bec was soo impressed...yeah like she couldn't do it..LOL...the journal block is traced from the same chippie shape as the LO above...have to make use in more ways than one.
































Went with the Yellow idea from Grant's shirt..a bit of a challenge because I rarely, well only once or twice ever, used yellow..IRL the journal block ( getting the idea here...traced off from chippie shape, yet again) is slightly brighter in colour...but it's yellow just the same..Ohhh and finally managed some dymo tape in there...Hmmmmmmm just to manage to get it onto more now..
and my first Chippie bird....haven't jumped into the bird craze...my dear Beasties made it a challenge...
