Hello I am very happy to be here on the Oddball blog today as I am sharing one of my first Halloween cards. Now I must admit I am staring out easy here using this adorable Members exclusive Dog Days of Summer. However as time goes on and and Halloween nears things will get creepier and creepier! But for now we will focus on this sweet dog and his friend who I like to refer to as Doris the spider! As far as I can tell in this scene poor Doris got the fright when she was making her way down her spider web and our adorable dog simply said BOO!

I have a dream!
Hello there Oddballs!
I am here today to share a project using today’s new Creepy Cute Chronicles image. This image is CCC#120 and it’s called “I have a dream”. This is yet another adorable image that combines the creepy and super cute!
Today I created a slimline card. It is simple but here are the steps to make your own 😊
1. I used a 3.5”x 8.5 Bristol smooth panel to create my background.
2. Using distress oxide inks I blended wilted violet, faded jeans, chipped sapphire and black sooth to create the night sky.
3. Once I was happy with the look I used copic sketch paint to splatter Toni “stars” and painted a moon with a paintbrush. Adding a little bit of sparkle with stardust pen.
4. I mounted the panel on a 3-3/4”x 8-1/2” card base.
5. to create my scene I used the CCC images from the shop..The cloud is from last week’s CCC issue and a kitty from a previous issue.
6. To add a bit of interest I used foam tape to mount the sentiment and decided to prop the moon to be able to swing back and forth (too adorable of you ask me).
7. Finally I added foam tape to the top of the cat and glued the bottom... again creating more interest on the card.
Hope you enjoyed this quick card tutorial and don’t forget to head over to the Oddball Stamps store to download this image and find all others. Perfect time to become a Premium Member and enjoy all these awesome images.
Happy Friday and see you back soon!

Alice in Wonderland (Mini Álbum - Pg 3)
Hi!
One more month I come to show you the result of the next
page of the mini album "Creepy Alicia"
On this page, the theme is the Mad Hatter's crazy tea party.
Of course it had to be full of characters and in a perfect setting for the
occasion.
For this I have used a lot of stamps that have been part of
the Creepy Cute Chronicles and that now you can only acquire as a Premium
member and many others that are available in the Oddball store. To complete, I
have also used a digital stamp of the own brand of a DT colleague.
This is the list of stamps that I have used:
The mug with the skull: CCC 35
The mummy drinking coffee: CCC 46 Café Mummy
For the stage: CCC 57 Pet Semantary
Ghost Mug: CCC 69 Coffee Hex Stamp (by Eny Dunn)
Banners, Garlands, Sentiment and Party Ghost: CCC 100
Celebrate
Heart and roses cake: CCC 109 Birthday cake
Alice: #324 Whimsicale Big Eye Alice In Wonderland
MadHatter: #328 Whimsicale Big Eye Alice in Wonderland Stamp.Madhatter
Smore vampire: #495 Creepy Cute Smores Digi Collage Sheet
Bat eating Watermelon: Exclusive July 2020 Summer Daze
Finally, I also used the “Azalea Tee Cup stamp” from the
Doodle Daisy and Ink brand of my partner Eny Dunn.
It took time to do it, due to the amount of stamps that I
had to color and cut by hand, but the assembly is simple as you can see
I hope you like it and encourage you to make your own
montages and especially that you show them on the networks with the hashtag
#creepycutechronicles. And if you are missing some stamps, you can buy them
using the discount code DTIRENE10.
Remember that Oddball Art Stamps has a challenge again. To
follow it, enter the web and go to the Community tab. From there you can
request access and enter to participate. The hashtag for the current challenge
is #cccdogdays
See you!

Pooches Smooches
Hello Crafty Friends! Monica here!
It’s Creepy Cute Friday! And I am very exited to share with you another project for the Creepy Cute Chronicles over at the Oddball Stamps blog today. It has been a little while since I shared a CCC project and I have missed it and you all.
Today I an using this adorable pooch image is your freebie for the CCC#119 issue. So be sure to sign up if you have not done so, you will get this free image and another every week!
Today I have a quick and easy tutorial on an art journal page, I am using my Dylusions journal, which has been begging to be used 😊.
1. I printed my images and was eager to color them so I went straight for it before I realized my camera was not filming anyway, I used Copic markers in different shades . I then fussy cut them out and set aside.
2. I started with a blank spread. Since I was creating a simple background I chose not to prime my page first. And then added a brick background using a stencil and distress ink.
3. Once I was happy with how the page looked I found a place for my images. I am using the Premium version of this issue along with previous Creepy Cute Chronicles images. I love all the extra options that Lizzy includes with it. And this time it even has a poem! I love it so much, hence why I decided on an art journal page this time.
4. OnceI glued the poem I added a bit of detail with an ink blender to make it fit the page. I then glued my images down where I wanted them. (I told you this was a simple page spread, lol 😊). As a final little detail I added “shadows” coming from my dog and little girl. Since I wanted them to be the focus of the page.
And that’s my art journal page for the day, hope you all enjoyed it and try to make your own. And remember you can get this pooch image FREE when you sign up for the Creepy Cute Chronicles.you can find previous releases images m. Also don’t forget to go to the Creepy Cute Chronicles Store to get any of the other images I used here.
Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you back soon!
