Soss #167 O is for Ocean




Welcome back to another Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers challenge. For this challenge I decided to do an art journal page in my Dyalog. So a small travellers notebook size. 

I basically copied one of Dyan's samples because I was really not having any thoughts on my own this week, no creative mojo at all. 

So here is what I did... 






Here is Dyan's sample





Shite I used in this journal page:
Dylusions dots dyalog
Dylusions paints Island Parrot, blue lagoon, desert sand
Dylusions stencils circles and mermaid tail
Dylusion stamps: Fanciful Flight
Plenty of Fish in the Sea
Glorious Blooms
Bigger Back Chat

Many many cards

So many months ago I made a bunch of cards. I had purchased a card kit from Scrapbook and Cards today at the end of February. In March, just before lock down, I finally started the cards while at a crop. I needed my silhouette to cut out things etc. So then, finally in April I sat down and finished those four cards.


Afterwards, I just kept going and made a ton more cards. First up is one that |I made for a colleague moving onto a new job.  (The real white part is me hiding my address.)
I used a sketch from Mojo Monday 312
I used Dylusions stamps for the envelope to make is cheery. 


Then a whole ton more birthday cards all using the same card kit. I used a bunch of sketches and added a couple of my own stamps that I already had. 

These two use Mojo Monday sketches 485 and 286

Some more cards using Mojo Monday sketches..452, 498,500 and 493. I already gave away the Birthday Wishes (top right) card. 

More Mojo Monday sketches 287, 357, 324 and 344. Here I did add some silver paper that I have.


Three of these cards used sketches. Mojo Monday 254, 474 and 428. 



I added a bunch of stickles (cards were drying all over the kitchen table).
Patterned paper and embellishments are from Crate Paper .. Hooray.

Anyways, thanks for looking. At least now |I have a good supply of birthday cards. Usually I am looking for one last minute or putting it together as we are running out the door. 

When lockdown started I was very creative.. I even scrapbooked virtually with friends and worked on a Disney album (it is pretty much done) and now to maybe photograph some pages and put them into an album.  I even did the day by day with Dyan Reavely for the month of April. 
Here is a video of what I did, mostly copied Dyan step by step. It was fun and helped keep my creative juices flowing, got busy with work and juices stopped flowing.
