OOAHC Challenge 28

Hello Friends and Followers-hope you have had a really good week.

Great to see people's decorations on their bottle and jars last week at Out of a Hat Creations

This week sees the start of our Christmas in October which was thought up by Florence and she will be doing all the posting and organising for October-thank you Florence.

 Sing your favourite Christmas song as inspiration and get ready for a fun month of challenges.

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingles all the way la la la la--yep that worked.

This weeks challenge it is to make a card or tag to ease us gently into the rest of the month.

Hope you will join in with us and have fun along the way.





I used a medallion stamp by Hobby Art Surrey that I have had for a long time Stamped it 3 times then coloured the layers with Promarkers. Added a bit of glitter then layered them up.

I made a tag as well but decided it would make a nice card so I used it for that.. Another Hobby Art stamp but this time I embossed it and coloured the baubles with a red pen. Added a gold leaf from some pot pourri,  the little cones that I found under a tree in town, and a little sprig of corn that has grown in our garden.

Nice to see all the greenery at Christmas isn't it? lol

Love Chrissie xx

A fine bright day but colder today so I may fit in a walk later though I had some curtains to make before I do anything else. At Tag Tuesday this week the theme is Diva. I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life. Art Journal Journey are still drawing me in with the artists inspired theme so here is yet another page for the challenge there.  This was inspired by Damien Hirst though years ago I didn't feel inspired by his work at all when I saw some of it for real at the Liverpool Tate Gallery. We had gone there to see the wonderful Rodin sculpture 'The Kiss' which graced the entrance to the Gallery. Then we strayed into the next part and a whole wall was covered in dots. It didn't look like art to
