Hi Everyone :)

After the successful

Custom Digital Pet Portrait

Giveaway 

I have been trying to catch

up on some of my other

creative pursuits, that

these days I just haven't

been finding the time

to 'carve' out for myself...

(tee hee....pun intended :)

As most of you know,

the world revolves around

our Oliver Howard in our

home :)

( as it does around all of our other loved creatures

we share our home with :)

And the other day, I was

sitting at my art desk 

trying to channel my

mojo.....

what to do next....

So I dragged out my box of

stamp carving tools and 

materials and Walla!

Oliver Howard Stamp!

LOL!

Keep in mind, this is only

the 2nd Stamp I have ever

carved!

( remember last years orange slice? grin)

Oliver Howard has ended up

being a 4 x 6 inch big stamp!

Which I had to think of some

sort of backing, as he's so large

he needed something stiff and flat

to glue too....to sorry Mr. Tim Holtz,

you have sacrificed one of your

acrylic stamping blocks from my set.

Actually it worked Great!!

I used Bath/Kitchen Clear

Tile Caulking to glue it to

the stamp and let it set overnight.

Guess I'll have to think about

getting another set of Mr. Tim's 

Stamping blocks...grin.

I have also as always, 

been making ATC's in between

different projects.

I keep a big box full of bits and bobs

that you all have sent to me over

the past couple of years in our

ATC swaps, 

here's a couple of my latest,

that are already flying off

to friends...

This one was posted on Facebook

and I was Gobsmacked at all

the wonderful thumbs up and

comments! 

It is now living in Iowa with

a very surprised Facebook Friend

who admired it amongst all the 

wonderful comments.

(see, you never know what nice things can

come your way at showing a bit of kindness:)

And this ATC with again Bits and Bobs

from all of You 

and a little extra bit from one of our

wonderful pet birds :)

And I managed an afternoon

of play with a 

New Graphics Kit

by the Fabulous

Tumblefish Studio

at

Deviant Scrap. com

I enjoyed this one, channeled

my English background

and a bit of English slang :)

So that is what I've been up

to all week, that and all the

'real life' stuff, ha!

So don't forget!
