I coloured my RSD image....called GRUMPY  DRAGON ..... did he name it after me?... with promarkers, fussy cut and stuck it to my doorhanger. I then gently inked everything to blend the image in and coated with matte sealer.... think this might end up on the front door!

Today i have another decoration to show you.
I have my dinning room decorated for CREEPMAS and my lounge decorated for CHRISTMAS....well i have to as one of my daughters doesn't like creepy stuff and my Dad would refuse to visit if i didn't do 'traditional Christmas'.
This decoration is one of those that could go in either room, as if you just have a quick glance at it, its looks very traditional.
But on closer inspection its really more CREEPMAS.
 I really do adore these SMEARED INK sheep.......and the deer skull...... all available on back order at the RUBBER CLUB....
and maybe the sheep are still available as a digi?
Noel started life as a pound shop buy.... stripped of its gingham covering and altered to look festive with a twist.
Thanks for visiting today.... happy hopping see you again very soon BDx

I cut a hole in all the pages except the front and back covers, then glue all the pages together onto the back cover.
I used TH papers and the new digi images from SMEARED INK,
 ....coloured with promarkers.

 I had the idea of using these old board books as boxes to hold a piece of hand made jewellery, above and below are the two i have completed showing you the size difference.
The small one is to hold earings... the large one will hold necklace/ bracelet or even a handmade book.... i really must get these things made, time is running away with me.
