This is definitely 4 sets of stamps everyone home should have in their craft room. Especially that hat, those heads, the borders, drink me bottle, candy canes, that lollypop, the cakes and shoes! What's not to love? Excited? Me? Nah! lol :D

The above examples are just a few of the journal pages and Dyalog insert books created by Dyan Reaveley using her own Dylusions supplies, all available here in Australia at Art by Jenny. I do love that hat and the candy canes! And the teacakes and that awesome lollypop! Can't wait for it all to arrive so I can send your's to you :)

The perfect companions to these stamps are Darkroom Door's birthday stamps balloons, candles, cupcakes, sentiments and more! Use the drop down menu to check out all of the Darkroom Door Eclectic stamps too.
All of Darkroom Door stamps are always available, those out of stock are just hidden from view to make it easier to see what we have in stock. Ask us anytime if you can't find what you need :)
I wonder what Tim Holtz has up his sleeves? Its been a couple of months since we were introduced to the gorgeous dark purple Distress colour that is Villainous Potion. Have you used it yet? It goes so beautifully with Dusky Concord and Cracked Pistacho :) Sometimes I am so busy crafting I forget to take photos!
Distress Mica Pearl Crayons and a Birthday Card ...
Did you know that the gorgeous Mica Pearl Crayon sets that Tim and Ranger released for Halloween and Christmas in 2021 are back? They're being delivered inStore late January. I'm guessing that Ranger made more due to popular demand.
I've used them to make a birthday card for a friend using Dina Wakley's Chipboard pieces, Tim's Collage Tissue and a few extra pieces and scraps from my stash. Distress Crayons are different to Caran D'Ache Neocolor II Crayons (which for me, are more like sticks of watercolour paint). Distress Crayons glide along smoothly then require pressure to blend. With a mist of water, they blend even more. Takes a little bit of practice but as everything arty, that's fun too.
Thanks for reading my arty crafty update! Dina Wakley is about to share her newest designs too! So exciting :)
Wishing you many wonderful arty Happy days throughout 2022. I hope this year delivers to you, good health, time for creating art, love and laughter, a 'time go slower' machine, and more art. Lots and lots of Art!
Stay safe, be crafty and have a Happy creative day!
:)
Jenny
