I'm back with the Oddball Art Co. DT and hosting the April Artist Trading Card (ATC) Swop over on facebook. 
The theme for this months challenge and ATC swops is
Messy and Sketchy

You can interpret this anyway you would like. 
I have gone with some messy backgrounds on my cards and added some sketchy drawings.

Dino Girl Jumping on the Bed

Hi Oddballs, 


I told you I would be doing things I haven't done before and here we have another first.  I have been purchasing digital stamps for quite a while now, but I have never incorporated them into a scrapbook page, until now.  I could not resist using #290 on a layout of my youngest grand-daughter Isla-May.  She is 3 next month, and absolutely loves dinosaurs.  I also used Baby D in the layout too.  I hope you will stop by my blog https://hutcho53.blogspot.com/2018/02/oddball-art-stamps-img290-dino-girl.html and read a little more about Isla-May.  This is the page, I hope you think it is cute, which fits in with one of our themes this month too.

These images are over at the Etsy shop, but be sure to use my discount code, for 10% off.

January ATC Swap - Theme "Feature a Creature"

Well Oddballs, here we are again, another first for me - an ATC swap.  To be perfectly honest, I have not had any experience with these at all.  I had seen references to ATCs on Facebook over the years, but basically thought it was an American thing, you know like collecting baseball cards years ago like you see on the movies.  I know the craze of baseball cards has now advanced to Pokémon etc etc, but who would have thought Aussie Gail would have got into this, at 63 years old as well.  My first experience thanks to Oddball, and I think I am hooked, another papercraft I have to try and add into my day, less housework, but just think of the therapy benefits!  Here is my first attempt

There is room for improvement and I think it will be a while before I venture into mixed media backgrounds on such a small area, but hey, the DT girls are widening my horizons, you knows. 


The images I have used for my ATCs are available in the Etsy Shop https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/OddballArtCo?ref=l2-shopheader-name
The images are #413, #417 and #418.  Oh nearly forgot, it you use my code DTGAIL10, it will allow you to get 10% off your order in the Etsy shop.

Oddball Bookmarks

How's it going Oddballs?  I told you I am coming out of my comfort zone.  Today I am trying to inspire you to make other things besides cards, well I inspired myself to .. Da da, we have my very first attempt at bookmarks.

I hope you will stop by my blog www.hutcho53.blogspot.com  to get the lowdown on what I did and where I went wrong.  It's a good read, if you have a spare 2 mins or maybe 3, it's probably the longest blog I have ever posted!

Of course, you will see all the images I have used at the Etsy shop https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/OddballArtCo?ref=l2-shopheader-name. Specific image numbers are on my blog  https://hutcho53.blogspot.com/2018/01/oddball-art-co-new-releasefeature.html
