Everyone can Doodle and usually does.
I hope to encourage you to turn your doodles into creative and interesting pieces of art. Learn to use doodling as a way of decorating whatever art or craft you enjoy, and find out how doodling can relax and focus your mind.
To celebrate the success of my book "Creative Doodling with Judy A 2 Z" and to add more patterns to the range that can be used to decorate the letter, word, numeral, frame and border outlines in my book, I am going to post a series of doodle patterns over the next year based on the letters of the alphabet. I will post a new pattern every Thursday.
Hi all. I am going to be posting a flower outline on the 4th Monday of each month. I have drawn it in Light Blue so that you can go over it in any darker colour that you wish.
I have made it quite large for those who like it that way, but you can easily reduce the size on your computer without loss of resolution.
These outlines are for your personal use only. If you want to use them in any other way you need to contact me first. You can post your finished works online but please let others know where you got your outline from.
I have recently published a book full of outlines. It is called Creative Doodling with Judy A 2 Z. There are many new doodling patterns as well as outlines of 7 different alphabets with matching numerals, words, greetings, borders and frames.
I originally designed this book for Cardmaking, Scrapbooking and Journaling, but quilters, machine embroidery and patchworkers have been enlarging the designs to use with their work. You are only limited by your imagination.
If you wish to purchase my book then follow the link: HERE
It would be great to get some feed back in the comments below to know what you like me to post. Thank you.

I spent Thursday night and most of Friday in emergency waiting for the Doctors to decide what was wrong with my husband and whether they would admit him or not.
As you can imagine this was a very stressful time. Also I did not get any sleep for 24 hours or food for about 12 hours. They eventually admitted him, and he got out yesterday.
Doodling saved my sanity once again. I had my trusty sketchbook and pens with me so gave myself a challenge. I drew some wavy lines across the page and decided to design intricate patterns between each line.
The patterns below are the ones I did.
I have done a few more since then. They are fun to create.
1. I begin with wavy lines.
2. I then draw some basic lines in each space to begin the pattern.
3. I decorated each line with a doodle pattern I made up myself.
My challenge to you is to do the same, but make up your own patterns. You can copy the step two outlines if you wish or make up your own.
Please post what you design in the Mr Linky below. I can't wait to see what you come up with.
Also please give me some feed back on this challenge in the comments section below. Is it too hard, or would you like some more difficult challenges etc. As there are many people offering challenges now, what would you like to see that is not already being done?

"MY NEW BOOK"
I would like the let you all know that I have released my first book. I was asked a few weeks ago to demonstrate Creative Doodling at the Scrapbooking Expo in Brisbane. So I decided to bring out a book that would be useful for cardmaking, scrapbooking and journaling.
Many people have emailed me since I started giving instructions about different alphabet designs asking for the whole alphabet. So this book has as you can see by the WHAT'S INSIDE Page below, 7 complete alphabet outlines, with matching numerals, words and greetings, borders and frames. There is 38 new doodle patterns included as well.
I have also added a few completed letters, numbers etc to give ideas and inspiration.
I give permission in the book for you to scan and copy the designs as many times as you like for your own personal use. If you want to use any of the designs commercially you will need to contact me to discuss it.
The book is available for sale on my Etsy store at present. I am hoping to get a website going once a few of the other products I am designing are available.
I have not issued a challenge in a long time and so to start off the challenges again and to celebrate my new book I have decided to give one away.
Here is the challenge. It is a simple one this time. Below are the letters from the front cover 'A 2 Z'. Copy and paste them, print them out and decorate them however you like. Post them on my blog and I will pick a winner and mail them my new book. Please share this post on your blog or facebook to let others know about the challenge and also about my book. I would appreciate it.
Add your version of the 'A 2 Z' above, to the Mr Linky to participate in the challenge and to enter to win a book. I will announce the winner in 2 weeks. You have until then to add your 'A 2 Z' Design to the Mr Linky below.
How do you like my shoes? I doodled these for the scrapbooking Expo in Brisbane over the weekend. My friend Christine and I wore them each day of the show. Very comfortable and they created some interest. People had not seen doodled shoes before.
I added beads and a frog on mine and an owl on Christine's just to be different. Here are some more pictures.
I doodled these shoes with a Pilot Permaball Pen. They looked great for the first two days of the show but then it began to wear off in the creases. If anyone has suggestions for other pens that draw on leather and have a solid shiny appearance I would love to know what they are.
I was at the show to launch my first Creative Doodling Book. It is called "Creative Doodling with Judy West A 2 Z" It was specifically designed for this show for Card Making, Scrapbooking and Journaling. It is full of new patterns, decorative alphabets, numbers, words, borders and frames that would be perfect for decorating cards and pages.
I will be posting a lot more info about the book on Friday and I will be giving one away so make sure you check it out.

Doodling on Caps
I picked up a couple of caps at the shopping center recently.
Unlike a lot of caps the cap itself was a nice light cream with the front a dark color, which left plenty of room for doodling.
Here is what I created.
I would love to see what other people have put onto caps, hats or any head wear.
Please post your creations below so that we can all enjoy and be inspired.
