ABC Skinnys

These are my skinnys for the start of the alphabet swap being hosted on Lots To Do Forum.

I then used glitter glue to colour in the letters & mounted them on 3D foam to give a bit of hight.

These are my moos for a swap being hosted on Lots to Do Forum.
I inked them all up then used various stamps for the background.
I then played about with Grunge board & acrylic dabbers.

Words Challenge

This is my work for the words challenge this week.
I have to be really honest here, I had an idea in my head, but you know what it's like,I got carried with inking, stamping etc etc, that it turned out nothing like my idea in my head!
But I hope Hilda likes it!

Tag swap

These are my tags for a swap hosted on Lots to do forum.

We had to make 3 tags, 1 large, 1 medium & 1 small & doing 1 distressed, 1 stamping as main image & 1 free choice.

My large tag is stamping as main image, the medium can either being distressed or free choice, as is the small one.

I shall let the host decide which she thinks is best! (Sorry Sam!)

Brights swap

These are for a swap hosted on Lots to do forum.

We had to do 4 pieces using "bright" colours & a stamped image.

I choose to do a skinny, moo, arch & atc

All have started off with dabbers from the "brights" range of colours then all stamped with the same Tim Holtz stamp. Some of the images have been embossed with Ranger clear powder.

Green fat pages

These are my pages for Junes fat page draw on Lots to do Forum.

They have all been stamped using various images with archival black ink & then heat embossed with either clear or holographic powder.

They look much better in the flesh as this scan doesn't show the embossing very well!

The first is a skinny with a poem using the word rainbow.

The second is an atc with the childrens programme Rainbow!

Altered Picture Frame

This is my picture frame for a swap hosted on lots to do.
I firstly done 2 light coats of gesso, then used mustard seed, dried marigold, spiced marmalade & vintage photo distress inks dabbed all over with kitchen roll.
I then stamped various words all over.
Finally, I used a versamark pen round the edge of the inner frame & used Marigold, gold red Moonglow, which is similair to perfect pearls & sealed with hairspray!

I have just bought a new printer with a scanner, & this is my first attempt at scanning, but I am sure I'll get the hang of it one day!

Family Holiday!

Sophie can now swim on her own with armbands, not bad for a 10 day holiday!

Chloe, the cool dude!

Sophie with her Nanny making sand castles.

This was taken one evening about 9.30!

Sophie's mini album so far

This is what I have been working on today. I have so many pictures of Sophie so I thought it was about time I did something with them.

I have only done a few pages so far, but I will crack on with it when I get back form my holiday!

Week 5 challenge

These are what I have made for the challenge on Lots to do this week, the theme being Dragons.

The arch has been covered with backing paper, mat & layered image of a dragon, then black soot ink around the edges & lightly over the backing paper.

The fat page I made into St Georges flag then onto black card, with a mat & layered image of a dragon.

The atc is the same backing paper as the arch, with a dragon image & peel off & then silver pen around the edges.

Fridge Magnet

This is fridge magnet I have made for myself. I decoupaged this Beautrix Potter image. I used an oval piece of stampbord, with distress inks & white acrylic dabber for the cloud effect., The sun didn't turn out how I wanted it to, but I am happy with the end result.

Week 4 Challenge

This weeks challenge on the lots to do challenge blog has been set by yours truly !

This is my tag. I layed 3 different size tags on top of each other & sprayed with glimmer mists, which left the outlines. I then used the same stamp on each tag & layered them up using brads & fibres. I'm really pleased with the way it has turned out & I can display it all sorts of different ways.

I hope you will join in with this weeks challenge.

Rubber stamping fat pages swap

These pages are for a swap on Lots to do, all based around using rubber stamps.
This page was very simple. I spritzer the page with my made up Glimmer mist of Fired brick reinker ink & sparkle perfect pearls, then used Tim's stamps, finished off with Rangers gold pen around the edges.

This one took a bit more time! I firstly used domino shape stampbord, inked up with different distress inks, stamped the image in the middle with archival black ink, then brushed over with perfect pearls & finally round the edges with rangers gold pen.

I used a CI corner stamp in walnut stain & a Cats life press "friends" stamp with versamark & perfect pearls.

The effects of the perfect pearls look much better in the flesh.
