I've been finishing off a few journal pages recently so i thought it about time to actually put one up. Unfortunately, i forgot to take a photo of this before i altered the picture; I used two magazine pictures for the girl, painted in her makeup, hair and skirt. The background is strips of magazine paper (non-shiny), coloured with Distress Paints. x

“Ah," she cried, "you look so cool."

Has anyone seen The Great Gatsby? ahhh the clothes, the music... a.ma.zing!
written by F. Scott Fitzgerald


 And so, onto our inspiration of all things Gatsby! I don't have a 'Gatsby' set but I do have a selection of Flapper Girls.

You always look so cool," she repeated.

I'm not much for bartering, that said I do consider myself an honourable man

Today, we are having a Captain Hook inspiration day!

For those of you who watch Once Upon a Time, Captain Hook aka Killian Jones is one of the main characters this season.
 and so as he's such a fab character we at The Octopode Factory thought we'd pay homage to him with some inspiration.
Here's the whole set of Peter Pan digis... Captain Hook IS available on his own though
