new Paperchase shop!

I was very excited to find that we have a Paperchase shop! I was like a child in a sweet shop! I bought these 3 postcards as I have a current love of peacocks and flamingoes. I've even bought inflatable flamingoes for the wedding! Not sure what I will do with these postcards yet. I may frame them and put them up in my new craft room. Phil is building a garage with a part of it sectioned off for my craft room! Very exciting!

Absent from Blog Land!

Hello all!!

I have been absent from Blog Land for too long! Wedding plans have completely taken over my life so there hasn't been much time for crafting! The wedding is 3 months this weekend! Aaaah!

In between the appointments etc I have managed to make this quick card with some stamps I won from a magazine giveaway and some pretty dress peel offs I found in my travels. I have coloured in the peel off and stuck it on acetate before attached to the pretty paper which I have stamped on to create a scene. Hope you are all well. xx

Cookies!

For this months challenge over on The artist trading club is to doodle a background and then add anything you like over the top. I started with a base card cut from the scrap card I have on my craft table when I am stamping. I then used my whispers pens to doodle over what was already on the card and added a touch of ink. I then added some magazine pics and bits and bobs form my craft box. Having intially thought 'oh crikey' when I saw the challenge, I was quite pleased wiht how they turned out!

Love

It's that time of year again! Here is a card I made using some free magazine papers and card from my local craft shop (which has closed this weekend due to retirement but another one has opened yesterday hurrah!). The glitter chipboard letters are from a QVC kit. Sorry the picture is a bit wonky, the card is straight honest!

Stamping!

I'm starting to get more confident with my stamping now and experimenting with different images. this card uses a distress ink pad, Whispers pens and my favourite product of the moment - glossy accents. The stamps are from Particraft.

..............................more!

Here are some more of my 'recycled backgrounds' ATC's. I'm on a roll with these!

perfect craft weather!

The snow looks so beautiful - this was yesterady and we've had loads more since!

However it does cause problems - the front of my car is smashed and I think I have a hen with a broken leg! You can see their house on the left of the photo. But it's great crafty weather!

When I'm stamping I like to keep a sheet of card on my table which gets covered in ink, glitter, glue etc! I have recycled this by cutting into ATC size and inking over with my ink pads to create backgrounds. I added some stickers and rub ons and was really pleased with the results.

Remember if you see something you like - get in touch! (Joanne I'll save one for your next package!)
