Where do I start?

I have so much to share… Okay, so it’s been a phenomenally busy week – you can tell because I haven’t blogged since Wednesday! I felt a great deal of pressure earlier this week because I’ve taken the huge step of opening my own “Studio” on ArtFire.com… yep, I have art for sale! If there’s [...]

Charlie Lookalikes…

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 [...]

Fairies live here…

TGIF – Make a banner… so I did, using a watercolour+salt background, some recycled bits n bobs and the lovely “Fairy Houses” stamps from Home Impressions – funky and doodly!!

The mesh is plastic (from the Scrapstore); the fairy charm is one of a job lot I bought from Kathy on Etsy; the paisley is Fiskars [...]

Romancing the grunge!

Gothic Arches this week – “Roses”. I’ve combined a lovely soft Romance Tag from Ten Two Studios with a grungy background and a gothic rose stamp from Home Impressions with a little piece of a broken earring from my collection of junk jewellery. The fabric rose is on a wire stem which I threaded through [...]

Road Trip!

Theme Thursday’s fun challenge this week… and how I’d have loved to go on a trip in this little beauty!!

Friends 4×4

Briefly, here’s my card for this week’s theme at Theme Thursday – Friends 4×4 – featuring a Mother/Daughter image from DCS. I chose to make this because until she passed, my Mum was my best friend and I still miss her terribly.

I’ve had the most wonderful day today. Nick arranged for 4 severely disabled guys [...]

Autumn Leaves…

It seems absolutely ridiculous to be making autumnal projects already, as we haven’t even had a summer! But, hey ho! Fi, at Inchy by Inch, has challenged us to make inchies this week using autumn colours and I have made this wooden leaf, decorated with inchies and gold leafy rub-ons. The background colours are Whispers [...]

Untitled…

I can’t put a title to today’s post – it’d be too confusing!DH has been borrowing my WordPress knowledge to set up a blog, campaigning for justice for the victims of a company we used to do some work for. As a family with a disabled member (DH, in our case, is a wheelchair user [...]

Sunday Share & blog candy challenge!

I made a numerals background on Friday evening for a birthday card using gesso, inked iwth pale green and then stamped with MaVinci’s numbers in Olive Green stazon. Unfortunately, I really mucked up the back of the card, so I can’t, in fairness send it out with a greeting! It’ll have to be cut down [...]

Finally!

I love altering dominos (among many other things) and I finished this little one off last night. It was my intention to photograph Birdie-Pin for the Artygirlz ‘Alter it’ challenge, but I couldn’t get a decent pic of it no matter what I tried. So I had another go this evening whilst taking pics of [...]
