Bright and breezy....

Here are some of the samples I made for Crafty Individuals on Hochanda last week:

These tags use some new background stamps that are coming out - they're great because they are a repeating pattern. Here's some close ups:

Two of them are negative images and the one in the middle is a small flower pattern. The pictures are from the glossy page sheets on the site.

Thanks for looking!

Down in the cornfield...

Forgot I'd got this stamp until I dug it out for a post on the Craft Barn blog. It's an Imagination Crafts Art stamp used over a Distress Crayon background:

Thanks for looking!

These all use the same Crafty Individuals stamp, CI-489 Winter Walkies, but all use a different colour palette.

This was done on glossy card:

This one's on matte and layered onto some of the new A4 background paper:

And this sepia one is stamped with Distress Vintage Photo and lightly spritzed:

Thanks for looking!

I've gone whimsical...

'Whimsy' is the theme over on the PaperArtsy blog and I rose to the challenge with these:

If you want to see more, you'll have to hop on over there and take a look. Needless to say, this was a really fun topic - just up my street!

Thanks for looking!

Hochanda tomorrow...

That's Crafty! are on Hochanda tomorrow at 11.00 and 4.00 with some wonderful products, as usual. What I love is that they not only produce stamps, stencils and media but also different bases to use it on. This time they're going chunky!
Here are a couple of sneak peeks to whet your appetite:

Be sure to tune in as Neil has some great demos lined up.

Art Journals...

I've been making some journals again, this time for my two girls.
I used some of their old baby/toddler dresses for the cover (forgot to take a pic of one of them!):

Used up papers for the insides and got a lot of graphics from The Graphics Fairy:

Seed packets at the back to put things in:

Library pockets at the front:

I have no idea what they're going to do with them (don't think they do either!) but I enjoyed making them!

Thanks for looking!
