Sadly this means today is also the last day of the Poe hop, boo hiss! We wait so long for this hop to come around and then it's over way too quickly but thankfully Mr Poe blessed us with a body of work that can sustain as all year long! There's so much inspiration to be drawn from his stories and poems and guess what's coming up that's totally POEfect, that's right, my 2nd My Dark Valentine blog hop is creeping up fast and I'm sure Mr Poe will make an appearance. Mark your calendars and get ready to explore the dark side of love again in February😉 Grab the badge and spread the word!
For our finale inspiration today I'm sharing a few of our quirky Oddleigh Poe past projects created by moi, Val and Nan! For even more inspiration check out the POE-tastic art shared in the past 3 hops HERE! Enjoy😉
I also have a FREEBIE for you called Poe Love, you can grab it HERE! You might want to use it in the upcoming My Dark Valentine Blog Hop...just saying, heheheheh!
We hope you enjoyed seeing today's collection of past Poes and are ready to join the fun if you haven't already😉

Day 4 "Oddleigh Poe's Birthday Party" Pop-up Card by Leigh
My Oddleigh girls are smitten with Mr Poe and thrilled to have such a distinguished gentleman join the family. They excitedly planned his surprise party and pulled out all the stops. At first Mr Poe wasn't too sure about the Party Hat they promptly put on his head but he's now having a splendid time!
Here's a closer look at the tiny folk! They're all 2.5 inches tall and 1 inch wide. They're fussy cut out twice, once leaving a white border around each image and again to leave the narrow black border after matting on black cardstock. This both strengthens the tiny cut outs and also makes them pop nicely against the background.
Here's a closer look at all the box card panels. Oddleigh Raven Nevermore and The Raven decorate the side flaps, Poe Love which is the Hop Freebie is on the front flap. The Oddleigh girls put up the Happy Birthday banner behind them to make Poe feel at home! It decorates the back panel and features the Raven from the Oddleigh Poe and Raven set.
I used Copics to colour all the images and brown Derwent Pastel pencil blended with a Dove Blender pen on the panel backgrounds. The images, the panels and the box card are blinged up with Star Dust Stickles glitter and clear Wink of Stella which you can't really see in the photos but the entire project is very sparkly in real life!
The Oddleigh girls made sure to use black everywhere and decorated with black upside down twirly streamers and a spikey upside down icicles die cut border to make Poe feel at home. The pop-up box card is a Lawn Fawn die.
Check out my Poe Collection launch video and my release post to see the entire collection I designed to celebrate my 3rd Poe Hop! I'm so pleased you love them and have been using them in the hop already😉
All Poe Collection digis are on sale for 30% off thru Jan 23rd, sale ends at midnight pacific!
The 2 Oddleigh girls and the Party Hat Pack are now FLASH SALE for 25% off until midnight TONIGHT pacific time! Click on the pix to go shopping!
Are you ready to join the fun? Then all the info you need is up on the POE PAGE plus the last 2 Poe Blog Hop collections are there too for even more Poe inspiration! Come and celebrate your love of Poe and win a prize too!
