Set of 3 boards...

 At Ally Pally earlier this year, i met Sam Poole and she was lovely, i bought some stamps, as well as tons of other goodies (surprise surprise!) and finally got round to using them, they are gorgeous! love these stamps by her.

This is a set of 3 boards i made, using the steampunk set of stamps from her, i spritzed the backgrounds and the papers  used to make the flowers and butterflies and just grunged away! i must admit, was pretty pleased how they came out! 

Hope you like them too?

another tag...

This tag was fun ~ embossing folders, dies and ticket stamps and lots of ink and messy stuff. Dies were Tim Holtz and oh no....the embossing folder was??? sorry cant remember :-(

Hope you like tho? am kinda liking doing these tags, what to do with them after tho???

A tag for a change!

Been playing lots recently as you've probably noticed?

As i had a bit of a tidy and came across all sorts, ive been playing making tags.

Tim Holtz dies and inks and messy stuff to create this little bundle of tag!

Craft club Tuesday...

I know it says Craft Club Tuesday, but recently we did an all day Saturday, which was brilliant, crafting all day, tea, bickies, lunch.... was a really lovely day (Thanks Alison and ladies)

Here are the creations i made that day...

I found this patterned paper and had to use it as the flowers were the pattern, so cut them out and layered up with some punched flowers and swirly stamp for the stem, wasnt quite sure on it to be honest?

Love this paper of these owls, its just so adorable! Been and bought the pad coz i need to look at them and stoke them! not sure if youve noticed, but i love owls! they are just sooooo cute!

 I had stamped the toppers on the next 2 cards, but hadnt got round to doing anything with them, till that day! they would probaly make really nice xmas cards?

 ...here's the other one.

Saw the stamp on this one, and thought it looked bit plain, but had to have a play and was really pleased how this one came out. Distressed the text in the background (page out of a book) punched the flowers in matching card and finished with a sentiment.

 This was an easel card, loved the toppers and colours of it with the papers, so thats the inspiration in how this one came about.

Well, till next time, see you soon

Take care

Taken with Teal and Orange

Im absolutely loving Taken with Teal and Orange at the moment, its just such a gorgeous colour combo. Stamped these images and coloured using my promarkers in matching colours, did a bit of distressing and hey presto!

Hope you like them? See you soon

Altered box

Ive been having serious play with altering stuff, bought this plain wooden box for about £1.... yes.... £1 and then started to alter it. I used Gold and Cream Acrylic paints and some Tim Holtz stamps and even made the flowers on the top! Have been making another one, which i shall put on soon, still doing that one, but i am loving playing with getting messy!

See you soon

Scrapbook Layout

I don't often do scrapbook layouts, but i absolutely love these images and had to do a double page spread with them for my post on the Sugar and Spice Design Team for last month. Using a pink page that already had a slight pattern on, i used some masks, which i then inked around and then went round with a white pen to add stitching (and yes it took ages!) used some pearly doodles to add some accents. Inked around the photo which i used punches to make a pretty edge that i mounted the pictures on. The sentiments were from the Scribble Flowers stamp set, which i just love. I glittered the petals and added gem in centre to finish off, and must admit.... im kind of liking scrapbooking, so may have to make alot more pages.

   

This shot shows a close up of the stitching detail.

Some cards ive made

This was one i made a couple weeks back, forgot to post it! oops! the stamps are basic grey i think? daughter hated the stamps, said they looked awful (as they are a double stamp, stamp the background part then over stamp with another colour) she liked it once id done it, which goes to show ya, kids! huh! what do they know? LOL


This was one i made last night, inspiration came from the stampin up catalogue, not sure about the huge ribbon tho! hmmm???? colours dont look as good on here tho! Hubby was watching the footy so... craftathon was required! lol

New home card

Was having a play with my new Stampin up 'neighbourhood' stamp, and this is one of the ones i did, the other has yet to be put onto a card! i did this when i got back from the dentist this morning, so was a quickie, but was kinda pleased with it, and love these little houses, they are so cute. Will post the other one when its done.

Used water colour pencils to colour them with, glitter on the clouds and bit on the grass, Tim Holtz ink around the edge, backed onto black paper, printed off some labely things on the computer for the greetings, aged the edges and voila! card is completed.

Gorjuss card

Outside of card ... and inside of card.

This is a Gorjuss card i made using papers downloaded greatfully from Summertime Designs and i must admit they are absolutely beautiful, so i would like to say thankyou for designing them and letting us download them!
I also used my cuttlebug to cut out the swirly die, which is a sizzix border die, and my new frame die, which i think was nestability one? very pretty frame and set. Alchohol inks and letraset permanent markers to colour and of course the Gorjuss Girl stamp from Funky Kits and to finish it off some flowers!

Gorjuss card

This was a card i made a couple weeks ago, never got round to posting this, or dont think i did? but used one of my fav gorjuss stamps, love this image, and printed off some papers i downloaded from somewhere? sorry but i forgot where i downloaded them from! ooops how bad is that? inked the edges, nestabilities frame, bit of glimmer mist... had to! and a flower to finish it off. Was rather pleased with the result to be honest, so kinda proud of this one.

My new toys!!!!

I been buying some inks, gonna have such fun with these!

Bought them all from Sugar and Spice as Marion was just soooooo helpful in converting me and convincing me that they were a must have!

Will post my pickies soon........off for a play now! oooooohhhhhhh the excitement! lol
