Patty Posh

Hi Folks we have a new 
Challenge 

Our theme this challenge is

Here is my card
I have used the newly released Patty Posh

I have coloured the image with Promarkers then fussy cut her out and mounted her onto black card. Using Spellbinder dies I have tried to create a background to give the idea of her walking her cat. 

I have used a Craftwork cards sentiment which I think matched perfectly . I have finished  the card off by adding pearls & a ribbon  .

Thanks you for visiting

Christmas Bird Trio

Hi Folks its Sunday, where do the weeks keep going, 

its now 51 days to Christmas.

Today here is my  inspiration,

using  the Christmas bird trio

 So what did I do

I coloured the image using my promarkers to resemble the  traditional British robin .

I then mounted the image on black & silver mats and then finally onto a black DL card and finished it off with a knot tied ribbon in candy cane colours.

These "tweet" birds bring lots of Christmas cheer! Set comes with the birds by themselves, or with 2 different sentiments (shown) in both color and outline versions :)

Make sure you check out the store

for all the new images.

Thanks for calling by.

Hope you like my work

A View of my crafting area.

Welcome to my crafting area,

 Hilde at Crafting with Dragonflies asked us to share with you our crafting areas.

 Please note I craft in the back of the lounge, I will and do store my craft where ever I can in the bungalow.

(My husband says we live in a craft house)

 This is my main crafting area, you can some of my  punches and my alcohol pens and Stampin Up ink carousel

 Across from this I have another larger crafting space and store many items under the table in A4 boxes Distress Inks, tonic dies etc
Oh yes and I forgot to lift the cat dishes out of the lounge window (hard dry food only) but I have very fickle cats and they are not keen eating together and we have 3.

 This is to the side of picture one you can see me Ebosser (I have only used it once I got the sandwich wrong and it did't spit it back out !!!!!I fell out with it straight away)& Big shot

My Grand Calibur is below.

I store my dies in a bookcase at the front of the lounge along with my A3 printer 

This is in the hallway and I store my unmounted stamps in plastic boxes.

I also store Spellbinder dies and card in them too.

I store some things in the little bedroom but it still is a bedroom .

In A4 boxes on sheleves

The rest of my stash is in Really Useful Boxes in the loft.

So I wish I had a craft room and not spread all over the house.

Winter Wishes

Hi ,thought I would share with you my Winter wishes card

I have coloured her with promarkers and added Sakura clear glitter pen to the white areas.

I have used DCWV backing paper on to a black C5 card blank.

I then cut parcels with the spellbinder die and finished off with a  sentiment.

Many thanks for visiting

In Remebrance

Hi folks its the start of a new month and here is my altered art project for

 Altered Eclectics

This month I have altered a glass that I got free from the amenity site.

 I cleaned the glass and dried it.

The orange thing is a Cushie neck pillow that once the glass is in place doesn't move.

I stamped the image on to paper then fussy cut it out, applied removable adhesive to the image and placed it inside the glass.

I then applied glass edging paint.

 Once dry I used glass paints to paint the image.

Poppies are my favourite flower. 

Finished glass.

 as a candle holder , with sand in the bottom
