It’s been a really hectic, but thoroughly enjoyable day today… took my Halloween artwork to the gallery this morning and had a long chat with Martyn, who had immense trouble trying to price and ‘categorise’ what I do. We both agreed that there’s no “box” I fit into… imagine that?!
Came home and started making some [...]

TGIF 101 – “Funny animals”… brought out the ‘boozy cat’ stamp from Third Coast RS. I’ve been making ATCs this week for a swap called “The Stamp Moves”. We are 4 per group, making 4 ATCs with each stamp and then sending the stamps to each other in a chain. Once we have made all [...]

I’m at market today and the forecast is for rain (again…) so I wouldn’t really be in the mood for a challenge of any kind, having dealt with them all day long!! I have made these 2 ATCs for the “Charlie Chaplin” challenge set by The Three Muses this week. I used 2 of my old favourite [...]

Sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it? But, you see Created by Hand has challenged us to use inchies this week… and Fi at Inchy by Inch, has challenged us to use buildings for our inchies. See? So I have used Home Impressions Row Houses sheet and chosen the tall-ish skinny house, which fits onto 3 inchies!
The ATC [...]

Wednesday Stamper’s theme this week is to show how we use a combo of green and purple. I took 3 Clear Base ATCs from Ten Two Studios, coloured them with 2 shades of Alcohol inks + a little copper mixatives and then stamped part of the Crafty Individuals large Swirl on one corner, using Olive [...]

Created by Hand theme for this week! I made a large sheet of backgrounds a while ago, using instructions from Lisa Vollrath’s Go Make Something, called Serendipity… you use up scraps of paper, ink and stamp backgrounds and they make interesting ATCs, etc. This one features a dragonfly stamp that I love.
I love random speckles [...]

What fun! Splatter backgrounds (for Saturday’s Workout), are very appealing when I’ve got unused paint on my paper plate… here’s a quick ATC, using an image from Ten Two Studios Little Blue Things sheet, plus some random deictionary definitions to go with her pretty, wistful face!
Hope you’re all having a great weekend… I finally got [...]

That’s this week’s challenge at Wednesday Stamper… here’s an ATC I made this evening using a seahorse stamp by Inca Stamps, which I’ve had for a couple of years. The background is a painted paper towel adhered to cardstock, plus a bit of painted text page on the left.
The column is a RAK piece from [...]
