I'm back!

After a bit of a break with interviews etc I am now back into craft mode! Here is a quick post of a new technique I had a play with last week. I tried sticking peel offs onto acetate and colouring on the back with permanent pens. It creates a stain glass window effect and I found the colouring in quite theraputic! I cut around the peel offs and attached them to a strip of patterned paper with brads and matted this onto my base card with matching paper. I enjoyed this and will definatly try more of this technique!

camera's!

Had really good intentions to blog tonight - for the first time in a long time! However my camera had other ideas and won't charge up for some reason. Never mind, I'll have a nosey at what other people have been up to! x

buying!

Time has again passed by so quickly! I have been busy spending - here is a (very) small selection of what I have bought. I love the glitter leopard card! I also went to a Particraft demo last week so have more goodies on the way! I need a lot more practise with The Big Bite and other half has thrown the box away so I can't send it back now! Gromlets are particularly tricky. Any tips greatfully recieved!

Inspiration in nature

We went to a garden centre last weekend and I was struck by the patterns on these tree stumps. There is so much colour around at the moment - I LOVE bright colours! My next door neighbour has a beautiful purple bush in her front garden (I don't know what it is called!) and it is attracting loads of different butterflies. The green colour on these plants is so fresh and vibrant.

I'm still here!

Hello!

Where does time go?

Now that it is the summer holidays and I have 7 weeks off, hopefully I will have some time to craft! I have been eagerly tidying my craft room in anticipation of these precious weeks! Now that I'm organised I can actually find things and have found things I had forgotten about. Here's a piccie of my new organisation. Hoping to catch up on everyone's blogs this week. xx

More dolls - sorry!

Came upstairs to do some crafting tonight but got side tracked by Facebook!

Here are two ATC's I made last week using my new Russian Doll stamps from Hero Arts. The background card is the recycled packaging the stamps came in.

I have so many ideas I want to get going on but need a 3 day weekend!

New ATC's

Here's three ATC's I have made over the weekend. The backgrounds were made out of a piece of card I had been cleaning my stamps on. I cut out some ATC shapes, added glitter glue and inked around the edges. Then I added some basic grey rub ons and some letters. Thought I'd keep them quite flat for a change.
