Random Album *

Here is yet another album and I call it the random album as it was made with no real purpose except it just happened.  There are not many pages in the album but what there are interactive pages.  I don't have to tell you what is there as it will show for itself in the pics.

Thank you for dropping by and please call again.

Hugz to all

October's project for TMC - My heart 4U *

October already and time for a new challenge over at the Mirror Crack'd and this months hostess is Lula with the theme of Wall Hanging.  
If you don't fancy a wall hanging we have a Tic, Tac, Toe board for you to choose from. If you want to do the wall hanging, it's the centre square, then you do NOT need to do the squares either side of it, unless you fancy challenging yourself even further. Or you could pick any of the lines around the outside and miss out the wall hanging altogether. If you use the Tic, Tac, Toe, please tell us in your post which line you have used.

My next door neighbor has just recently erected a huge cabin at the end of his garden and I blagged his leftover pieces of tongue and groove - lots of them I have to say.

The wood is pine which needed to be gessoed before starting.  I used 3 stencils and my own handmade modelling paste (loads of tutorials on You Tube).  I then painted it neutral and sprayed expresso adirondack colorwash over it.  I then highlighted the raised areas using inka gold.  The lettering/numbers were cut using my alphabet die - also inka'd up lol.  I made 2 holes and threaded parcel string for the hangy thingy. Now for the piccies

Thats it for now and I really hope you enjoyed your visit.  Why not head on over to The Mirror Crack'd and join in with the fun challenge

Hugz and love always

Time for a new challenge *

over at Rhedd's Creative Spirit and this month I have altered a pair of shell like napkin rings.

I started by using white gesso.  For them both I layered them up by using hessian on one and lace on the other. I added more lace, appliques, feathers and flowers.  I found this particular project simple but really effective - to me they look much nicer than their original form

That's it from me this time but why not head on over to Rhedd's Creative Spirit and join in with the fun

October roll *

Hi all

For this months challenge over at Altered Eclectics I have made yet another book but this time I used toilet roll inserts for the pages.  I decorated them using the paper called funfair and was made for a friends daughter as a stocking filler.

For the outside I used chip board and a magnet to keep it all together to protect the pages.

I do hope you like my project and hope you can find your way over to the Altered Eclectics October challenge

Hugz always

Cancer Awareness *

For this month over at Eclectic Ellapu the Pink Team theme is ''For a Cause'' so it really was a no brainer for me - really important and worthy cause.

I managed to dig out my digi stamps for this Saturated Canary image called Boobylove.  Isn't she cute.  I have to admit it has been an absolute age for me colouring a digi lol.

I coloured her using my polychromos -it felt really strange being so long lol.  I used a curved edge from spellbinders for the edge of my card and the oval for the image.  I attached a pink ribbon and I printed out a quote from the internet for the inside.

That's it all done.

Why not head on over to Eclectic Ellapu and join in with the fun.  The Purple team's theme is Horror, Halloween/Dark - such a fab choice of themes this month.  We would like to see you there.
