Good morning and welcome, 

Before I give you details of this times challenge, I would like to say thanks so much for your entries for last times challenge, it means so much to us that you join us each fortnight.

Please scroll further down this post 

for the winners of last times challenge.

Now onto our new challenge for this fortnight at Crafty Friends...
The theme of this challenge is

GIRLY

You can make anything you like, maybe a card, a scrapbook layout of even home decor. You can use any products you like to enter as long as it follows the theme for this fortnight. 

Our wonderful sponsor for today's challenge is Oddball Art.

Lizzy has always loved the stranger, quirkier side of life and that is exactly what she loves to create. Her art described as a perfect combination of sweet and sour that glitters up the grunge! As a lover of all things whimsical, kawaii and creepy cute, she throws in some Pastel Goth with a touch of glam, punk & rockabilly pinup! She has certainly never been a mainstream type of girl and definitely won't fit into your stereotypical cookie cutter artists role; but rather she finds beauty in the truly unique, big eyed creepy little cuties with a bittersweet sadness. She is never truly happier then when she is in her art studio painting or sewing, creating a whimsical dream world easily recognizable as her signature style of creepy yet cute, all the way from the haunting darkness to the rainbowtastic, Lizzy’s creations are lovingly sprinkled with a heart-breaking sweetness. Growing up a child of the 80's, pop rocks princess, with an extreme fondness for anything candy coated, Kawaii Kitten & Ziggy Stardust, all of which had a major influence in the work that she is creating today. Lizzy employs many different mediums when she creates, anything from mixed media painting to sewing with many different textiles, the end result always being the same; A whimsical dream world filled with big eyed beauties, creepy little cuties and quirky monsters of all shapes and sizes.
