Poe Blog Hop at LeighSBDesigns Inspiration Blog!

I think I could play with Poe makes for weeks, months, years? Yup, I could!  The 3rd Annual Edgar Allan Poe Appreciation Blog Hop is going on and today I am sharing another wonderful digital stamp by LeighSBDesigns who has tons of new Poe images that are unique and exciting and some are on sale right now!  The link up for your Poe project is at the LeighSBDesigns Inspiration Blog!

I used Oddleigh Poe from the Oddleigh Poe and Raven set. Again using paper from the 6 x 6 paper pad and inking with black Distress Ink.  I also used the image Poe Signature with Quill all found at the LeighSBDesigns Etsy Boutique!  I used Spectrum Noir to color up Poe and the quill feather. I typed text and inked in red because it was about his love of his real wife so red for hearts.  Another gothic looking black die cut flower and leaf with gold flakes glued on top with a bead for a center.

Keep hopping and inking!  Poe needs some appreciation; he pretty much had a lot of really bad days!

Ready for More Poe? Third Page of My Fat Page Book for the Poe Blog Hop!

What fun we are all having!  Time to show you the third page of my Poe fat page book; it is the twin page to page two and I made sure to put them in this order.  I used OddLeigh the Raven for this one. Make sure you, too, are linking your awesome Poe makes over at the LeighSBDesigns Inspiration Blog!  LeighSBDesigns has created this Oddleigh the Raven digital stamp and lots more Poe new releases at the LeighSBDesigns Etsy Boutique so check them out!

Again using paper from the same designer paper pad with some background stamping and text inked with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink.  Since of course I am using his passion for writing as my theme, I glued a die cut typewriter highlighted with gold gel pen to an ATC paper sprayed with tea dye shimmer spray.  I know his work was probably done with a quill pen but this is an old typewriter so I fudged a bit! The little white glob was one of my attempts at melting crayons with the glue gun and putting different items in to make a wax seal like I am sure he used.  So it got popped onto the page! The raven and words are colored with Spectrum Noir markers.

Keep hopping and definitely making those Poe projects!  It is after all the 3rd Annual Edgar Allan Poe Appreciation Blog Hop hosted by LeighSBDesigns Inspiration Blog!

Time for Page Two of My Fat Page Book!

Hi, all!  Back again today with page two of my Poe fat book page.  I will be entering it in the 3rd Annual Edgar Allan Poe Appreciation Blog Hop at LeighSBDesigns Inspiration Blog!   Don't forget to check out the LeighSBDesigns Etsy Boutique that has many many newly released Poe digital stamps! 

This page is all about the Oddleigh Raven Nevermore!  

I had to give him a door to hang around and shout his lovely "Nevermore"  I used a die cut and put some fabulous paper with spiders crawling so when you open the door you get a surprise! I stamped some random Halloween and background stamps in white and purple to give it a ghostly look.  Some typed text inked edges in black, and a bit colored gold and another fabulous paper flower make up the page.  The fabulous raven is colored with Spectrum Noir markers.

Off to the next blogs on the hop and have a fabulous Poetastic day!

Fat Page Book Fun For the Edgar Allan Poe Appreciation Blog Hop at LeighSBDesigns Inspiration Blog!

I just could not decide on which fantastic new release Poe digital stamps by LeighSBDesigns for the 3rd Annual Edgar Allan Poe Appreciation Blog being held at LeighSBDesigns Inspiration Blog to use on what type of project!  They seemed to fit so well together than a fat page book seemed like a good start!  This is my cover page of my book using Oddleigh Edgar Allan Poe with Text.

I colored him up with Spectrum Noir Markers.  I used designer paper from a 6 x 6 paper pad (I know usually use my papers and they will make an appearance during the hop!) I inked the image I cut around as I had colored around the image with a light brown to blend in with the paper.  I typed up his date of birth and death, so young only 40 years old when he died!  And such a tragic life! I used tea dye shimmer spray to spray a background strip of cardstock and to ink around the dates. I used some black flowers scattered with gold flakes as an embellishment.  I tied all the pages together with a gold cord.

Hope you are entering and hopping along leaving lots of love for everyone!

Thanks for stopping by! 

Snowy Fireworks

Meet Oddleigh New Year Elf  and Fireworks!  The happy little Elf comes with her own traveling fireworks!  What a wonderful pair of digital images!  There is also a great sale for her and the other new release shhhh!  I am showing you this next! 

I had such fun coloring her up with Spectrum Noir markers.  The fireworks I colored with watercolors and then fussy cut to put on a journal page I had painted with left over colors from palette.  Then the little Elf was attached to the page and my wish for a Happy 2018 written on left over watercolor paints.

Hope you enjoy seeing this lovely image as much as I did working on her!  Visit Leigh's Etsy store and YouTube channel both are fabulous!

Hi, all!  What a great feeling to be typing up a blog post telling you that Dragons Lair Designs is now back up and running with a store on Etsy with some Christmas goodies plus all kinds of other goodies!  On our Facebook Fan Group which I want to say is an awesome group of ladies who have kept posting and playing our games even when the store was down for a bit due to health problems of Janette, the owner.  These wonderful ladies kept up the Dragonette's spirit and now we have the store open so we are all very happy!

Our December Coloring Challenge came in handy when The 12 Days of Christmas came and went before I even got a project done!  So now on our Fan page you can request the image (a challenge because he is not a Christmas image we are making him so!) and I will send it to you and you have until the end of the year wink wink sounds longer than the end of December doesn't it?? to have a finished project in the photo file!  Here is my little guy all decked out for Christmas!

New Release First Christmas by LeighSBDesigns!

This digital image was a delight to work with for many reasons. The name is aptly First Christmas by LeighSBDesigns!  It so reminded me of my babies first Christmas (the little outfit was straight out of their baby books!) the only exception being my daughter was really bald for the first year and a half of her life :)  I am sure she won't mind me sharing that, right? hehe  The detailed image was also fun to color up and so many ideas how to use it!  I came up with one of those photo Christmas cards some people send.  I never have because I hate having my photo taken!  But they are cute and some of my friends do it so I got my inspiration from them.

Still enjoy those first Christmas memories when I look at this....sigh!  I would say at least now I can sleep all night but we all know my sleep schedule so I won't go there ;)

Pop on over to LeighSBDesigns Inspiration blog to see how I made this one.

Check out the store and treat yourself to some early Christmas prezzies plus you can make some awesome projects FOR Christmas so not selfish at all!
