Stripes, but not the film…

Wednesday Stamper is really one of my favourite challenge blogs to visit – so much variety to see and it’s fascinating to see everyone’s interpretations of the weekly themes. So, I just happened to have a house with stripes and stamping going on and the legend reads: “Arty Chick. Eat cake 5 x a day” [...]

Romance on a Fridge Magnet!

Take Part Tuesday have “Romance” as their theme and one of my recent makes – a fridge magnet domino – fits this theme beautifully. Sadly, the light is poor today and the flash has picked up the accent beads, but the image behind the glaze is visible…

I’m not a great photographer, especially where small items [...]

House and Home

That’s this week’s Created by Hand challenge and of course, I recently made 11 Row Houses for an international swap, which are on their way to Texas!! This is one that I made for the swap, but DH fell in love with it and I had to make another in its place!

The background is glossy [...]

Love is…

Papertake Weekly is all about elegant embossing today, so I’ve used gold ep on the edges of the petals for the deep red flower behind the sad face of the girl wondering what ‘love is…’

The papers are Dovecraft, the stamped fleur de lys are from the Tandastamps Mediaeval Set that I won at My Time [...]

Wealth Corner Collage!

I think I’ve mentioned before that my friend Jan is my homegrown Feng Shui advisor… my luck has turned since she and I spent a couple of hours on the phone a year ago+… but my money luck just hasn’t!! So, when Jan and her family came to visit recently, just as she was leaving, [...]

4×4 Friday – a box!

‘Florals’ are all the rage this week at 4×4 Friday… and I just happened to have prepped, a 4×4 ‘treasure’ box. I’ve painted the whole box with a coat of gesso, followed by a coat of green acrylic paint. I’ve used a scribble stamp on geen acetate and stuck that to the lid, after using [...]

Stamping with Debs!

Firstly, I have to say that I had such a blast with Debs yesterday… the Hotel (The Countryman Hotel) is fab… and Camelford is barely a 30-minute drive from my home, so we shall definitely be returning! Apart from being crafty pals we have an awful lot in common on a personal level, our daughters [...]

Wednesday Stamper – Insects

The theme for this week at WS is Insects – we are to create something which shows what we think/feel about them… so I’ve altered a coaster, which was actually destined to go on top of an altered box. It still might…

Living in the country, I notice the advent of butterflies and bees in the [...]

Earth Day – Going green, etc.

Had a very busy day yesterday at the Scrapstore and at home, so I didn’t actually get anything ‘arty’ done till 11pm last night when I sat playing with a Daisy-maker, given to me by a very good friend who has insufficient attention span to complete a round, never mind a daisy – the downside [...]
