Christmas Greetings....

May I wish you all a very happy Christmas and New Year and say thank you for all the lovely comments - they are much appreciated.

Robins again...

I rather like robins, can you tell?
These are from Crafty Individuals and show that they don't always have to be for Christmas:

Thanks for looking!

A few of my favourite things....

....is the theme over on the PaperArtsy blog.
I've chosen Stampbord (large), alcohol inks and Lynne Perrella stamps:

Hop on over and take a look at what everyone's been making.

Tweet tweet...

Thought I'd share my robin canvas as it's so near Christmas:

Lots of lovely Starlights paints on this one.

Thanks for looking!

Wacky faces...

My last sneak peek was this one:

which uses a new stencil from That's Crafty! called Lana which gives you the outline of the face and features. What you do with it after that is up to you!
I went for the slightly wacky and made her hair out of some multi-coloured wool that I had:

Lana also has a partner stencil called Max - I'll have to try him out next!

Thanks for looking!

Butterfly wings...

For this sneak peek:

I cut up one of the long panels to make a 3 part wall hanging:

Again I'm using all That's Crafty! materials - if you haven't tried out their surfaces yet you should go and have a look as they've got really imaginative things to work on: tags, triptych, shrines, shadow boxes etc etc to name but a few.

Thanks for looking!

Get out the texture paste...

This first sneak peek:

came from this pop out piece I made using some of the new That's Crafty! stencils and the light texture paste, along with some of their greyboard Bits and Pieces:

I've joined 2 of the long panels together for this. The front cover uses a different stencil - they are gorgeous stencils to use:

Thanks for looking!

Hochanda again...

That's Crafty! are on Hochanda this week (Friday and Saturday) with a brilliant One Day Special. Here are a couple of sneak peeks:

Tune in and see what everyone's been making - I'll show you the full size samples next week.

Thanks for looking!

Fabric Tags....

Crafty Individuals were on Hochanda last week with some of their lovely stamps and an amazing bundle kit. Here are two of the samples I made using calico:

Really enjoyed making these with all the stitching and beading and embellishments.

Thanks for looking!
