Tim Holtz Stamps - Bird Crazy

 I just love these Bird Crazy stamps from Bizzy Bec's.  Recently I did a mixed media challenge at a virtual retreat.  The prompts given were journal page, paint, book print pages torn up, stencil or black marker with triangles and of course a vocal point.  I decided to use a Bird Crazy stamp for my vocal point.

                                 

I had so much fun doing this, I did another page using Tim Holtz Stamps - Bird Crazy  This time I used yellow and red paint, bubble wrap, a stamp from my stash I haven't used for ages (cracks), Tim Holtz Small Talk stickers, a cat stencil and a black Posca.

Products used from Bizzy Bec's

Imagine that Digistamp December Progressive Challenge

 Thank you to Kris for another fantastic image for the last progressive challenge for 2021.  I believe Kris has some different ideas for 2022 so unfortunately this will be the last challenge.  I do hope there will be something in 2022.  My association with Imagine that Digistamp goes back a long way.

Thank you for Gingerbread Cookies and Cocoa.

Oh no I was just about to put my project in the Blog challenge and am reading Imagine that Digistamp is closing the doors.  How sad, will miss you Kris, thank you for your talent over the last nine years.

Gecko Galz Annual Christmas Tag Event - December 2021

Conie Fong Art & Design GDT

 Here is a project I made with Noelle's Gift Image - a 2022 calendar.  I feel more creative when I can use a digital image for something other than a card lol.  It is so easy to make a calendar thanks to Pinterest and Google.

Background paper Butterfly Garden Digital Craft Kit | Etsy

And no, I did not cut the calendar pad, all in the packet were like that - won't buy that brand again lol.  I thought if I tried to fix them, I would make them worse, I guess the extra on the side could be used for notes.

I hope you will join in this month's Conie Fong Art & Design Facebook Group Colouring and Project Challenges.  It will be the last one for 2021.
