Gems, Doodles and Designer Papers….
Hi there.
Thanks for popping in. Thought I’d shine a light on what we’re doing in the SHAC-Shack this week, and show you how well transferring our doodles to our Designer papers works….
I mentioned this morning that Stuart has put together a very cool Barb’s Faves Set and called it THE SHAC PACK!! It’s for those doodlers who want to dip their toe in this kind of artwork at a really good price! £10 for 50 sheet of 8×8

So tomorrow at 10am we will take another look at these faux gemstones and add them to our doodle flowers. Sound like a plan?
I love doodling on this designer paper though! It is so effective! You just pull the tones out of the paper and create the jewel….

Time to stop.
Stay safe
Love and Hugs

Wow looks amazing.
Looks amazing Barbara. My gem looks like a tangerine 🤣🤣🤣 Must practise more lol. I’ve ordered the papers 🙂
I need to catch up on a lot of the SHAC episodes. We seem to be busy most mornings, trying to get all the things done that had been put to one side whilst we could not go out. Trying to catch up now before we need to stay safely at home again.
The gems look fabulous. Got to try them and look at the papers. X
Wow that looks fantastic, don’t the flowers look different with the extra doodles. Must go & dig some paper out – ordered the SHAC pack this morning – but meanwhile I can use some of the other Barb’s faves. See you all in the SHAC shack tomorrow.
Oh wow! That looks totally amazing – I feel like I could pluck that gem right off the page – seriously stunning, Barbara!
Wow its stunning xxx
Cor that’s amazing. And I love your doodled flower.
Have a lovely evening. Love and hugs xx
Wow your gem looks stunning . Can’t wait for tomorrow. Have ordered the paper pack this morning. Think I’m going to have to go back to my gems as they definitely don’t look like yours.
I can’t wait for my SHAC shack papers, they are beautiful x
Wow that looks amazing, love the gems. I can never get over how 3D they look. XX
Something to look forward to tomorrow when I will be catching up on this week’s YouTube.
My line dancing class started again this morning, from 10 -11 am! What timing. Consequently, I missed the live SHAC, but I spent a happy 2 hours this afternoon, catching up with yesterday and today. It was very relaxing, but also a bit frustrating, as I couldn’t get my Pergamano white pen to work on the gem. I am off to order the papers. See you tomorrow. Hugs. Annette X
Wow! That looks fabulous. I think I will start again……!
Gorgeous gem , will be ordering the papers when I get back from holiday , x
Great idea, still not quite got the gem working! Going to order the pack of backing papers, can feel another addiction coming on.
That’s taken my breathe away. Going back to practice really want to be able to do that. Thank you Barbara as always inspiring. Xx
Looks awesome love the designer papers for background and the gems look fab xx
It looks great, Barbara. I got my Amazonia and Antartica papers and cards delivered today and my baubles, hexagons and octagons. Happy bunny! That’s just the first two deliveries!! The papers are stunning. Just love them. Thank you for your designs and to the packers for such an amazing service. Hx
Hello Barbara
I love creating gems. They are so realistic you think you could pick them off the paper.
Love

Hi Barbara this is gorgeous. I love how the gems look with the petals on the designer paper. I am a huge fan of the designer papers. You know I nearly cried when I had drawn the gems today. I just couldn’t believe what I had drawn. Thank you so much. Have a great evening. Take care. Hugs xxx
Papers and white gel pen ordered. Your illustrations look fantastic I hope I can do you proud teacher. Onwards and upwards xx
wow, that is brilliant, loving the colours and the paper xx
Wonderful offer. Thank you, Barbara.
Wow, your creativity never ceases to amaze me. I have been really rough, not able to see well. Today I have braved the outside world and gone to the optician, I was wobbly before i went and even worse when i got back, so many people without masks on narrow pavements. Anyway, turns out both my cataracts now need doing, the reason i see double and distorted. So, I will do a bit when I can and admire your doodling, that of others, and enjoy your company every weekday, much love xx
Hello Barb, wow, what a beautiful doodle, and the Gem really looks touchable and real. Love it, definitely episodes for me to catch up on. Take care and stay safe everyone. Bx
That’s amazing. X
