It's nearly October .......


Yup, it's nearly October and you know what that means ....... it means I need to get my skates on and make my Art Calendar page ready for the new month (late again!) and it also means it's time to dig out your weird and spooky images because it's Halloween time. Now, here's a funny thing .... I love halloween images, you know me - embrace the weird I say! But I do not actually like halloween itself.

This busy journal page, which is in my tiny journal, is all about Halloween. The tag is off a skirt I bought recently although I have altered the tag a little. I just love the buttons that came on the tag, I may have to go shopping there again :-)

I painted the background with acrylic paints by Dylusions by Dyan at Art from the Heart, and added a few squirts of Dylusions ink sprays too.

The rubber stamps are by 7Gypsies.


The images came from the wonderful Marsha of Tumblefish Studios from the 'Hint of Odd' collection. Marsha has been adding loads of new images to her Etsy shop which get sent to you via e-mail ready to download into your picture files. The new images are fab fab fab, so hotfoot it here to take a look.


September has been an unbelievably busy month for me. Seriously, it feels like I hit the ground running when I came back from my hols in Spain at the end of August, and I'm still running. I have had so much to do I have had to ban myself from blog-hopping as I can spend hours lost in blogland. Having to go to work really does get in the way of life sometimes, as well as looking after two children .......... and a husband ;-)   

Still, things should ease off a bit now so I'll be seeing y'all soon.

Byeeeeeeeeeee

  11. I love love love that tiny journal - having seen it in RL - its so - I want to say cute, but that doesn't do it justice because its deliciously arty and filled with colour and gorgeous images and stamping and touchy tags and things!
    I am so understanding what you mean about the blog hopping thing - I am having a lapse in my self imposed ban - hehehe!
    P.S. I'm up to date with September but not prepped October yet - my first lateness! For reasons of time I will blog both together when I get October ready!
