New Arrivals........

Octobers new release stamps were in the shop on Monday, Im just a little late with the announcement ....sorry about that guys!

Just like last month I'm going to share a bit of inspiration with you each week rather then all in 1 big post so for today I have chosen 1 DT sample for each of the 8 new stamps in shop this month......

Enjoy!

I will see you soon with some more inspiration....in the meantime if you aren't already a member of the Oddball Art Stamps FB Group I would encourage you to join for an endless supply of inspiration from not only my fabulous DT ladies but from other Oddballs just like yourself!   As well we have a monthly challenge which is your opportunity to try and win some free stamps......and you don't want to miss out on the random freebies that I post every so often as well!

These Trees are Dancing Just for YOU!

Hello Oddballs!!!!!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend so far!  

This will be our last DT inspiration post from Septembers New Release Stamps....  Featuring the 4 new sets of Dancing Tree images!

Everyday I bring my fur baby Isabelle outside to do her biz and throw the stick around and I am always mesmerized by these evergreens across the road that literally look like they are dancing the way they have grown.    I have often thought how I should paint them one day but when my DT member asked me for some tree images I was immediately inspired to draw the dancing trees across the way............  

I did 4 variations of them, so they don't necessarily need to be for Christmas, they could be colored up in any combination of colors and used all year round.....

I absolutely LOVE what my DT ladies did with these trees and can't wait to see what YOU do with them so be sure to share your makes in the Oddball Art Stamps FB Group and for an opportunity to win some free stamps be sure to drop you creation pics off in our monthly Challenge Album the theme is always "Anything Goes" and the winners get to choose the stamps they win!

As well for even more opportunity to win free stamps from the Oddball Shop you can visit our Challenge Blog  and enter our monthly "Themed Challenge" which just happens to be "Anything Goes" as well this month! You can check out the current "Anything Goes" Blog Challenge HERE.

Our October New Releases will be in the shop in just 2 days time on October 24th and like we did with September, instead of posting all of the DT samples in 1 huge post on release day, instead they will be trickled out a few at a time over the month so you can take it all in a bit easier......I would love to hear what YOU think?  Did you like the way we did September better then 1 big post on release day or do you prefer to see everything at once?   Let us know in the comments below....

 Thank you so much for stopping by,  I will catch you again on the 24th..............  

Til then.......have a crafty good time!

Dancing In the Dark Img#331

created by DT Naz

This image set comes with everything you see below for a creepy cute monster celebration......  Now let me tell you how this party got started......

colored by DT Troppostella

You see.....this little cutie named Peach was just looking for something to wear,

 more specifically some pants or a skirt,  to match her new sweater and hair.....

what she needed was in her closet....she made her way across the room....

as she reached for the door knob ....she heard the loudest boom.....

created by DT Lozzy

she stopped dead and listened.... she put her ear up to the door....

the sounds she heard excited her......peeked her curiosity evermore.......

CLICKETY - CLANG - RICK - RICKETY - RANG - 

BIPPETY BOPPITY BOO.....

created by DT Naz

whats in Peaches closet.....

whatever should she do?

created by DT Granne

she yanked the door wide open......

inside was quite the bash

she saw a skeleton and 2 bats......

they were dancing to the 

Monster Mash!

Thanks for stopping by,
