Poe Appreciation DT Showcase: 2 POEtastic Oddleigh Fat Pages by Nan!

Howzit Stamping Friends!
I'm still busy showcasing all the POEtastic projects my fabulous design team ladies, Val and Nan, made for our 5 day Poe Appreciation Day Blog Hop which they shared on their own blogs during the hop.  The Poe fun is continuing on through to the end of January😋

  If you missed the hop then you've still got TODAY to join the fun and be included in the prize drawings!  Everyone who hops and comments on all the participating blogs included in the link-up below will be included in the drawing for my Commenter Prize!  The same goes for the Blog Hop participants too, you need to hop and comment as well to qualify for the Blogger prize.  You all have until midnight pacific TONIGHT to do your rounds.  Winners will be announced soon after!  Start your hopping on my Day 1 post HERE!  Enjoy😋

Today I'm sharing two more wonderful pages from LeighSBDesigner Nan's POE Fat Book, Nan's fun quirky style is fitting in so nicely with my Oddleigh designs❤️

Nan's 3rd POEtastic page features Oddleigh - The Raven and he's presiding over Poe as he types up his classic poem on a typewriter....clearly we are looking at an alternate universe on this page😆. 

Nan coloured up the Raven and the words with Spectrum Noir markers.  She used 6 x 6 inch paper from the same designer paper pad as her previous two pages and did some background stamping inked with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink.  Nan's theme for this page is Poe's passion for writing so she added the die cut typewriter which she highlighted with a gold gel pen and matted onto an ATC sprayed with Tea Dye Shimmer Spray.  The little white embellishment is Nan's little "wax seal" she made from melting crayons with a glue gun, what fun!

 Now look at this gorgeous 4th page featuring Oddleigh Poe from the Oddleigh Poe and Raven set and the Poe Signature with Quill!  Nan set the tone nicely with that elegant background and Mr Poe is so handsome❤️

Nan used more paper from her decorative 6 x 6 pad and added Black Soot Distress Ink to it.  She used Spectrum Noir markers to colour all the digis and typed up the text which she edged in red ink coz this page is all about Poe's love for his real wife she says, so red for Hearts!  The finishing touch is the gothic black die cut flower and leaf embellished with gold flakes and a bead adhered to the center.

All of the digis featured are now on FLASH SALE today only so add them to your collections before midnight pacific!  Click on the pics to go shopping!

  Thanks for stopping by to see Nan's projects today!

Now off you hop to admire all the glorious Poe Art!

Poe Appreciation DT Showcase: The beginnings of Nan's Poe Fat Book!

Howzit Stamping Friends!
My fabulous design team ladies, Val and Nan, made lots of POEtastic projects for our 5 day Poe Appreciation Day Blog Hop which they shared on their own blogs during the hop and now I'm showcasing them all here through to the end of January😋

  If you missed the hop then you've still got a chance to join the fun!  Everyone who hops and comments on all the participating blogs included in the link-up below will be included in the drawing for my random Commenter Prize!  The same goes for the Blog Hop participants too, you need to hop and comment as well to qualify for the Blogger prize.  You all have until midnight pacific on January 28th to do your rounds.  Winners will be announced soon after!  Start your hopping on my Day 1 post HERE!  Enjoy😋

Up today we have the beginning of a POEtastic Fat Book by LeighSBDesigner Nan.
 Nan made 5 fabulous pages and a cover for her Poe Fat Book.  Here's the cover featuring Oddleigh Edgar Allan Poe.

Nan coloured him with Spectrum Noir markers and used 6 x 6 inch designer paper for the background.  Nan typed the year dates for his birth and death....poor Mr Poe, he was only 40 when we lost him....sad to think of all the literary masterpieces we lost with him😔  The dates were layered onto Tea dye shimmer sprayed panels and black flowers scattered with gold flakes was the finishing touch.  The cover and all the pages are tied together with gold cord.

Now for the first page....

This page is dedicated to Oddleigh Raven Nevermore.  Nan couldn't resist giving my quirky Raven, which she coloured with Spectrum Noir markers, a door to hang around and crow his favourite phrase....Nevermore!  Nan used a door die cut and put decorative paper with spiders crawling all over it behind the door so whoever opens it will get a fright...you've been warned!  She randomly stamped Halloween and background stamps in white and purple inks to achieve a ghostly effect.  Then completed this wonderful page with typed text and another paper flower.

All of the digis featured today are now on FLASH SALE until midnight pacific TONIGHT!

Poe Appreciation DT Showcase: 2 more POEtastic Fat Pages by Nan!

Hiya Creative Friends!
Today is the last of our Poe Appreciation DT Showcase, I hope you've enjoyed having a closer look at the projects my fabulous design team ladies, Val and Nan, made for our annual Poe Appreciation Day Blog Hop!

  If you missed the fun then you can still hop and enjoy all the POEtastic projects shared.  The 2018, 2017 and 2016 Poe Blog Hop Collections, as well as info on the upcoming Poe 2019 hop, are on the Poe Page so click on over for a look!  I'm still tallying up all the comments by the bloggers and the hoppers and will announce the Winners of my two Poe Prizes soon😋

Today I'm sharing the final two wonderful pages from LeighSBDesigner Nan's POE Fat Book she made for the hop!

Nan's POEtastic 4th page features the Raven from the Oddleigh Poe and Raven set.  This time he stands alone atop a quote from the classic poem, Alone, which Nan typed up in a wonderful font.  My Oddleigh Raven has a Mona Lisa smile....he likes to keep you wondering what he's thinking😋  Nan coloured him with Spectrum Noir markers and she used decorative 6 x 6 paper from the same paper pad for the background.  She inked the pages and stamped various stamps from assorted companies with Black Soot, Fired Brick and Gathered Twigs Distress Inks and embellished with a wonderful vinyl lace she picked up in Japan.

 Nan's POEtastic 6th page features the Master of Macabre and his signature from my classic E.A. Poe Portrait and Signature set.  Nan chose to only colour his eyes and tie to achieve a vintage look for this page and used Spectrum Noir IBI3 and GG2 markers.  Keeping the continuity of style going she used more decorative paper for the background from the same 6 x 6 paper pad as her previous pages.  She stamped the text RIP from her Halloween stamp stash in a gorgeous font with permanent black ink and framed it with a wonderful tiny gothic frame.  She typed up a quote about art and edged that, the page and the signature panel with Black Soot Distress Ink and finished the page with more vinyl lace she found in Japan.

And there you have it...a great page for the last of the Poe shares....for now that is, you'll be seeing Poe popping up again throughout the year I'm sure....one can never have too much Poe😋

All of the digis featured today are now on FLASH SALE until midnight tonight (pacific).
