I started with one of my favourite words as a prompt ... Skullduggery (skull·dug·ger·y or skul·dug·ger·y (skl-dg-r) n. pl. skull·dug·ger·ies or skul·dug·ger·ries Crafty deception or trickery or an instance of it) ... and a whole pile of Dylusion's skulls ... something told me an Andy Warholesque page would be good fun ... but I sadly over-did the background ... but kinda thought I would pull it off anyway! Then part way through my love of doodling took over and my even greater love of my Ranger White pen ... and before I knew it ... Andy Warhol was a distant memory and I was onto the whole good hair day ... bad hair day thing! What can I say? This really is n't a journal page at all ... because during this whole process ... the boxes tricked my card making persona to kick in ... and then ... I had no room to journal and just a page of skulls! So not really a journal page at all! But it is definitely going in the scraps journal ... if nothing else but to remind me to stay focused on the job in hand! Having said all that ... maybe it works ... it certainly is a "Crafty Deception of a kind!" What do you think?
The background is Lord Tim of Holtz Worn Lipstick Distress Stain ... Hot Pink and Fuschia Dylusions Sprays... with some Broken China Distress Ink you know Tim ... the man that can make a girl's day just by landing at Heathrow Airport while performing life saving surgery on a one day old fluffy little kitten with just a Broken China Distress Re-Inker and the lid from a Broken China Distress Ink Pad!
While I am here ... Have you checked out the Craft Barn Blog this week ... we were thinking along the lines of Die Cutting out of the box and Neil came up with a genius idea for Lord Tim's Reindeer Movers and Shapers die!
I am getting all excited and unnecessary right now ... only three more sleeps and I shall get to see the Lord Tim himself at Stitches ... and Mr Mario ... cannot wait!
Have a fabulous weekend people!
Laters!

What a great page. You could always stitch a pocket on the side for journalling. Glad to see I'm not the only one that gets carried away with the white gel pen!
Cool page Linda, love all the doodling. x
I like your style, Julia! Those skulls are just incredible. Have a great time with Tim & Mario!
Hi Linda - I like it and you've lived with the lettering faux pas. How about smiley faces on the other page ... Thanks for visiting by the way and enjoy Stitches
'Tis fabulous to be sure!
Have a great time at Stitches.

Love this ........ it's so vibrant !
wow so intricate, must of taken ages but worth it as looks amazing
Blimey Linda! You could stick this in a frame, ogle it all day and still see something new every time. It's fabulously gorgeous. I love it. Who wants to be Warhol anyway when you are already an Elbourne!
Awesome colours, great imagination!!!! Now I've got the giggles because Lord Tim keeps popping up on the screen...lol

This piece is definately frame worthy. I'm not into skulls but this makes me smile and I cant stop looking at it.
Thanks for dropping by ..yes its great to be near a beach...if I cross the road and look past the houses I can see the sea ...if I jump on a bus ...10 mins later I am sitting on a seat over looking the beach.In the winter its not quite so icy and in the summer less muggy ...its a no brainer really ...hope you get your wish.

Fab piece of fun work... I really don't like skulls but find these really appealing....vibrant colours and fun, fun , fun!
Great hairdoos and sets of teeth they have... must have had a good dentist and hairdresser!

I'm not really a skulls fan - except maybe at Halloween but these are gorgeous! I think its the pretty colours and all that white gel pen that makes them so appealing!!
This is great Linda, I love the skulls and the fabulous colours.
