People with wings!

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 [...]

“Beautiful” – Christina Aguilera

Artygirlz chose “Your fave song” as their challenge this week and I have chosen Christina Aguilera’s ‘Beautiful…’ as one of mine. I’ve made a simple card in black, white and grey – for Created by Hand – using a gorgeous stamp from Diva Impressions.

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

Quote tag!

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 [...]

4 challenges!

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 [...]

A little Thank you!

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 [...]

This Thursday, it’s all about…

I’m honoured to be This Thursday’s first Guest Designer today! Tracey, Fi and Susie have started their own challenge blog, all about creativity, for all genres of crafty people – anything goes! Their first theme is ‘Fresh’  – colours, fresh inks, feeling fresh…  using the “Rainforest” Queue of Coloubox Pigment Inks, kindly sent to me [...]

More fun to ‘crow’ about!

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 [...]

“Be a Clown!”

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 [...]

ATCs – Man and Bandanas!

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 [...]
