When you make a conscious choice to be happy, no one can take it away from you because no one gave it to you: you gave it to yourself.

WOYWW 374 - new stash!

Morning!

I'm back to link up with Julia and all other desk sharing people to well..share my desk!

 So far right - those are my new stamps on top the typewriter - Tim Holtz Crazy Dogs!
 Right side - that box has my stencils in. I've created coloured backgrounds with my new Distress crayons and have created a scene. Zoom in and you can see the Paris one.
Window side - WIP. I've stamped Crazy Dogs onto the backgrounds and am cutting them out.
A closer look.

So that's me. Oh before I go here's the finished image that you saw I started last week. It's May's lesson from Kit and Clowders marker classes.
Took me 3 days to finish. Loved doing this. The photo doesn't do it justice to be honest. Not sure what I'm going to do with it.  May do a giveaway. Hmmm we'll see.

Take care Zo xx

Hi Zoe, first off, that image you've coloured is amazing! The photo looks stunning from my end.I've got the Crazy Cats and both sizes of birds, not gone with the dogs(yet)!Love the backgrounds for the dogs though- just made me think about stamping my Birds onto some of the Brusho backgrounds I have. Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz xx#7

What a beautiful image and lovely colouring - I'm with Julia, three days work and giving it away - it needs to be framed and put on the wall in my opinion! It's always fun trying out new stash - the dogs look cool on that background. Thanks for stopping by earlier, and I hope you have a good week,

Hi Zoe, A busy desk. Love the look of the doggy stamps.

That Mermaid is stunning. Don't think you need any more tutorials on how to colour.

Thanks for stopping by my blog.

Happy WOYWW

I disagree with some of the above comments - if something has taken you three days and you enjoyed doing it so much then giving it away is a wonderful thing to do! Or you could put it on your creative together website? YOur technique is amazing!

Neet said...

Love that mermaid picture - get it framed and hung somewhere - if nowhere springs to mind what about the bathroom or just outside it?
Enjoy your crazy dogs!
