Windows to your Soul...

Here's a card I made using the lamppost scene from the Artistic Outpost Windows and Doors set. I've used glossy cardstock and dye inks to create the bright background. The flourishy bits on the side are from the Serenity set. I stamped and embossed in white and then coloured over the white embossing with StazOn inkpads:


All stamps available from Happy Daze.

Thanks for looking!

WOYWW 107

Well, for this WOYWW, guess what's on my desk? Yes! A great BIG mess! Very productive though - I'm making a card for my daughter and have inky fingers to prove it!


Enjoy your Wednesday and thanks for looking!

London Town...

Artistic Outpost have just released two new plates of stamps:
Loverly London (some of the phrases are very funny!):

and London Underground (particularly like this set - they're sort of grungy):

They're already up for sale over at Happy Daze and some artwork will be going up soon.
Here's a sneak peak of what I've been making:


If you want to see more go over to the Happy Daze site (just give Moira a chance to upload them!)

Thanks for looking!

Great Weekend

Well, I had a great time at the Craft Barn Extravaganza - they always look after you so well - coffee kept appearing and sandwiches etc.There were some really interesting demoers (is that a word?) there - I managed to have a quick look round on the Sunday before it all started.

I met some lovely people, so if you came by, many thanks for making it such an enjoyable two days. I wittered away to my heart's content!!!

Forgot my camera so couldn't take general photos - just got a few more of the samples:



These three are double layer tags:




All tags and stamps are Crafty Individuals.

Sorry to all of you who didn't get a birdhouse template for the tags - I just didn't print off enough! So here is the scanned image for you which I think you should be able to print out!

Thanks for looking!

New Challenge on Crafty Individuals

The May Challenge winners have been announced over on Crafty Individuals blog and it's nearly time for the June Challenge.
Here's my entry:

This is actually made from one of their badges - I've just converted it into a necklace by piercing holes top and bottom and inserting jump rimgs. I stamped over the top in StazOn and added the beads at the bottom to give it more weight.
Hop on over to the blog in a day or two to see the details of the Challenge.

Thanks for looking!

WOYWW

Well I haven't shown you my mess for ages so, as it's WOYWW, I thought I'd share!
I'm very busy at the moment getting ready for the Craft Barn Extravaganza - I'm demoing the new Crafty Individuals pre-printed tags, although they're so beautiful in their own right, you could just sit there and stroke them and be quite happy!
Here's the first two pics of my actual art room (no, those pics in Craft Stamper didn't lie!):



And here's the dining room table - I've decided it's a bit like the Day of the Triffids in my house - leave a space and I'll grow into it and take it over!


If you're coming to the Craft Barn make sure you stop by and say hello.

Thanks for looking!
