That’s the challenge at Theme Thursday this week and I had fun with these 2 ATCs… in fact I got so engrossed in making ATCs, I nearly missed the last episode of “Heroes” (Volume 2) on BBC2. Luckily I managed to get downstairs in time to hit the pause button and freeze it!!! I can’t [...]

The image is stamped across 2 pieces of mountboard, simply as an [...]

The girls at Weekend Taggers told me there’d be a quote tag challenge coming up, so here’s mine for this week! It brings back wonderful memories of my Mother – it was her favourite thing to say when I was down… “Laugh and the World laughs with you, Cry and you cry alone…” I’ve used [...]

I missed out on playing a lot last week – I was simply too tired and my Bags also came first (after family, of course!), so I thought I’d enjoy myself this evening, making a “Tag in a Pocket” for Weekend Taggers. I also hand-cut quite a few elements for this, so I’ll submit it [...]

I made a little thank you card today and used my Diva Impressions “Journey” stamp…
I used TH Black Soot distress ink to stamp the image onto a wax resist/painted background. This is one of the sheets I created for the GPP Street Team Crusade #21 (Irresistible). I chose this one because the mauve crayon can [...]

I’ve had a blast this evening with those naughty birds, the Crows! Created by Hand = Versamark and My Time to Craft = Birds, so I made 3 ATCs combining these two challenges… I used Versamark ink to stamp the images and then blotted chalk onto them, which was fun! The backgrounds are from SOYB’s [...]

Lovely theme this week for the Gothic Arches… “Clowns”, set by Nancy Maxwell James, who has set a fabulous example with her vintage arch. I went crackers once I got over singing “Send in the clowns”… and remembered the Danny Kaye song (I think it was him) – ‘Be a clown, be a clown, all [...]

Theme Thursday this week is all about ATCs featuring Man/Men! Kelly has set the bar high with her Edgar Allan Poe ATCs… I have made this one, using a vintage advert which I sprayed with Walnut gold glimmer mist, then tore up! It’s a bit tongue-in-cheek with him looking over a (mesh) fence! The background [...]
