Collage Obsession Easter

Here's my Easter postcard using the image on collage obsession. I've been wanting to join in with this challenge blog for a while now but I never seem to have time, so I'm glad to be joining in this week :)

Mess or Muse??

OMG! I was beavering away this morning making some bunny people happy as a clam then disaster struck! I couldn't find my white pen. aaggghhh.... at that moment I actually 'looked' at my little table I use whilst watching TV and creating. The table measures 17" x 24" but can you see any of it??? NO! gosh i was so shocked by the amount of mess I had on it, I had to take a photo!
What's there? wool, knitting needles, collage sheets, bit of cut out backgrounds, scissors, inks, collage images, posca pens, a pedometer (?), an easter chick, a cat toy, stamps and glue

Had to take a pic of the pup-stars keeping me company! The pooches look massive on this photo but they are small.... the cats are bigger!

i've made a 4x4 and used Collage Anonymous images.

Growth

on Gingersnapcreations the random redhead challenge is 'growth' ~ i thought of birds and eggs which in turn made me think of the age old question..... which came first.... the chicken or the egg? well i changed the chicken to a bird! lol


spring has sprung


on Theme Thursday this week the theme is open as long as it's on a 2 x 4" piece of work. Here's mine... I've gone with 'spring' as it's such a vibrant time of year.

Black and White Tag

On Louise's Tuesday tag challenge. I really struggle with black and white. I tend to see it as 'unfinished' but I've managed to make two tags!


Thank you for looking and all your comments on my blog :-D

SteamPunk

Martina chose our theme on SPA this week... my biggest challenge... STEAMPUNK. I struggled at first to think what to do... but once Lily suggested making wackadoodle dolls to use I found it much easier. LandofNoDStudio's on flickr was a great source of inspiration too as Deborah has some steampunk people already made up on a FREE collage sheet!

Here's mine
I'm really quite pleased with it!
