A Special Wow Ya Wednesday - Arabella of Chickie Chirps

This week we decided to do a special Wow Ya Wednesday for one of our wonderful challenge participators.  Many of you know Arabella of Chickie Chirps.  

She has been participating in challenges for awhile now and we are always in awe of her fabulous creations!  This is what she had to say about herself:

"I am a 34 years old, and I am a Kiwi currently living and working with my husband in a tiny town in Greece called Lavrio (but we are moving closer to Athens to an area called Glyfada in the next few weeks).

I am the chef and stewardess on a 38m superyacht.  My husband and I have been working together in the superyacht industry for six years after he finally convinced me to take a break from my scientific career to join him travelling the world and getting paid to do it.

I am a bit of a perfectionist, so I am well suited to the role of stewardess where we clean things to death… (imagine cleaning with toothbrushes, toothpicks and cotton buds).  We do work really hard though…  especially on this yacht where I am stewardess and chef.  When the guests are on board we work 14 – 16 hour days and when they are not on board we do a normal 9 til 5 week… (we get one day off).

Crafting in my spare time keeps me sane.  I’m not the sort of person who enjoys just sitting around and watching TV without doing something else at the same time.  I am relatively new to card making and copics, but I love to colour with copics and only wish I had the whole set!   I have collected loads of crafting stuff here (I seem to have a bit of a compulsive online shopping problem)… I’m not sure what is going to happen will all our stuff when we finally head back to NZ!"

This is Arabella's fabulous creation she made special for today's post using Priscilla

Isn't the color just divine?  We love Arabella's color choices in all of her designs and this one is no exception.  Take a look at all the gorgeous dimension too!

Here are some of Arabella's other creations that we like to drool over!

Please leave her lots of Tiddly Love and don't forget to stop by her blog and soak up all the inspiration at Chickie Chirps!

Challenge 65- "Special 2-week" Challenge with Art Journaling!

Hi guys,
We featured Kate of The Kathryn Wheel last week and her fabby art journal designs and we got so inspired that we are going to do our own special twist on art journal---the Tiddly way!! :)

So we invite you to join us over the next two weeks with a special journal page---or project (featuring a Tiddly Inks image, hopefully). Your new journal page will be due in TWOOOOOO weeks. We thought the extended time would be helpful if art journaling is new to you. :)

Break out those watercolors, rubber stamps and markers and start doodling.

But if you aren't sure where to start, we have a few links below so you can get a wide variety of ideas and art journaling tips.
