96 and still counting!

Wow! I am overwhelmed by the response the calendar challenge this year. 96 entries so far and there are still more being added daily. Three times I have had to go back to the linky tools website and increase the numbers for the link! I wasn't expecting such a wonderful response ... thank you all so much for taking up this challenge and sharing your wonderful artwork. Good luck for keeping up for the rest of the year. 

I think I have visited all of the calendars but there again there are a lot of entries this month and I am easily confused LOL! If you haven't had a visit please do let me know. And another thing .. if you haven't had any visits off anyone do check your link below ... not all of them are working!

The February edition of Craft Stamper (UK) is out in the shops now. Here's a couple of sneak peeks of a Monster Canvas I did this month, nicely titled Monsters Ink by the editor Katy (geddit?!):


I used one of the new stamps by Kira Nicolls for Stampotique in this article.


My children have finally gone back to school this week ... did the Christmas holidays seem long this year or is it just me?! Hoping to get back to some art work now :-)

Byeee for now.

  17. I may just have to join in the fun this year with some of these. Looks like lots of fun and a great way to document your year. Also, just saw your work in Art Journalling and recognized it right away and was so happy to see you highlighted there again because that's how I found out about you to begin with. I just love your bright, happy colors and how you compose your pages. Thank you for putting yourself out there like this! :)
