Flower Canvas

Hi again,

I know it has been so long between posts, just over 12 months. So much has happened in 12 months. I lost my 2 boys (cats). But I have filled that gap with a new kitten. Jorja. I have forgotten what it is like to have a kitten (been 17 years). She has put a smile on my face every day. Also not much crafting as I lost my craft mojo. I think it's back now.

I have a huge bucket of flowers and I wanted to create something for my new home. So here is what I came up with:

Words or Whatever - WOW Apr Chipboard Challenge

Words or Whatever - WOW are running a monthly challenge on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/wordsorwhatever?ref=br_tf

I received 2 chipboard hearts and other items. I painted all the chipboards using Tim Holtz Brushed Pewter distress stain and then I used ultra thick embossing powder on all the chipboard. All other bits I found in my left overs jar. I even cracked out my sewing machine to run a boarders down the sides of the background papers. Here is what I came up with:

 

Thanks For looking. Till next time, hopefully not too long

Watching the world go by layout

This is a challenge set by Mad About Scrappin. For this I used dylusion sprays, pink and green paint. For the chipboard I used a twiddley bitz banner and prima chipboard.

This was me in my walker watching everyone.

Christmas Paper bag album

Well...... Didn't know it was that long since I last posted. Maybe because I lost my craft mojo. I do believe that it is back. Here is a paper bag Christmas album. I won't call it a mini album as it is 8" high. Here are some of the 6 pages. Each page has a flap.

Thanks for looking.

Steampunk ATC

I am not one for working on tiny areas. But i thought i would make a ATC. I had alot of fun playing with this. For the heart i used some crackle accents and then used copper alcohol ink to colour in the cracks. Not how i thought it would turn out but happy all the same. With the eye and the butterfly i used Tim Holtz's Rub ons. Also glittered up the wings.

Storage Box - Chipboard

This weekend was a crafty one here in Canberra. The weather was cold. I made this storage box out of chipboard. For the feet i used the little hitch fasteners from kaisercraft.

The paper i used was from Kaisercraft 'Porcelain Rose'. I love this paper. I now have a storage box to put all my bits and pieces in.

The Challenge:
