Baby Jumper

2010-05-31T03:42:00.000-07:00

So this is a Basket Weave Pattern. It was really challenging and I learned allot from this one. I'd never seen Rib in crochet before but it's a really lovely warm jumper and cute too. This is for a year old so I'm gradually working my way up :)

My First Wearable

2010-05-31T03:28:00.000-07:00

So here we are my first wearable. I started off with something small so at least if it went wrong I wouldn't be so disappointed. This is a free pattern from a lady called Heather and you can get is here. I did a shell edge just because I'm not too good at some of the stitches as yet.

No Stopping me now

2010-05-31T03:25:00.001-07:00

Well before you know it my lovely mother in law got me a book for christmas and guess what I was doing on christmas day :0) The result was this fabby little bag and I was well away to making things.

Crochet for Beginners

2010-05-31T03:06:00.000-07:00

So I have been AWOL for far too long I know but I have been working I promise.

About 18 months ago my bestest bud Mel showed me how to crochet starting off with "Granny Squares" so I could make a blanket Each square is about 5" and the blanket is still growing so excuse the letting it all hang out picture. It was a great starting point and there is lots more on the way.

Designed 2 Delight Puppy Love Challenge

2010-01-21T22:26:00.000-08:00

This is a new challenge for me but what a wonderful Image to work with.
The image is a digistamp that has been created a lovely lady called Faith.
I coloured the puppys using my new Inktense pencils, which I'm still getting used to but I am gradually getting better :)

Calendar Template

2010-01-19T22:52:00.000-08:00

Designed 2 Delight Challenge

2010-01-18T22:34:00.000-08:00

Hi Everyone I have just joined a new challenge that uses digi stamps. I need something to get me back to cardmaking, but I promise there will be messy stuff too :)

2010-01-17T03:49:00.000-08:00

Yes I am still alive

2010-01-17T01:06:00.000-08:00

Hi Everyone

Take care everyone and see you soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Stampotique Card

2008-08-16T00:48:00.000-07:00

I have been very naughty and not kept up with my blogging so I thought I better get my butt in gear with a card I took ages to make, Sorry Kirsty.

I love tag cards but when I try to cover them they never sit right so for this one I used Jump Rings to hold it together. It fits in with the Stampotique stamps perfectly and I really like the effect i got on the foil card by scratching it with sandpaper :)

Light Box

2008-08-02T12:34:00.000-07:00

Ok I've been working on this for a little while now and finally here it is.

This started out life as a mini shape sorter from Poundland and I thought it would look good as a tea light holder. The only problem was I wasn't happy using a normal tea light because of it being made of wood. So enter and electric tea light candle :)

Sarah Kay Card

2008-07-30T12:33:00.001-07:00

I bought this cute Sarah Kay stamp at Newbury at the weekend so here is my first card using it :)

Aztec Orange

2008-07-29T22:05:00.000-07:00

OK so I know I did something with orange again! Well it was actually a redbrick distress pas with a yellow Nick Bantock pad but it turned out really nice didn't it :) Stamps from SSPG.

Another New Tag

2008-07-29T09:12:00.000-07:00

OK Did I happen to mention I like dragonflys and butterflys? Well this is another stag using the SSPGs free joing gift. I love the dragonfly stamp for the background and I used it as a base for my main dragonfly.

Everything bar the little nets it stamped in black Stayzon including the wings/petals on to fantasy film. The purple background was made using a baby wipe and a Nick Bantock Ink Pad then I stamped the little net in purple then the dragonfly in black.

New Tag

2008-07-27T08:07:00.001-07:00

Ok this is my first project using some of my new stamps from "The Stamping, Scrapbooking and Papercraft Guild". The petals of the flowers are actually dragon fly wings but they make a fab flower. I used mica powders from The Artisitc Stamper and they show up great on Black Card and a better price than cosmic shimmer too.

Spiderman Card

2008-07-27T08:00:00.001-07:00

I love this card cause Spiderman is my favorite superhero. I stamped the image twice in Stazon and he is coloured with Marveys. The image is decoupaged just a little from his waist to bring him out a little :) The background was made using the same stamp with versamark then chalked in silver.

Robot Card

2008-07-18T09:13:00.000-07:00

I love this card mostly because of the stamp but the paper goes so well with the colours too.
The Image of the robot is a stamp from do crafts ans is stamped with black stazon and then coloured with shimmer paints. The backing paper is from a Basic Grey 6 by 6 pas.

Sunday Stampers Week 24 - For Your Eyes only

2008-07-18T08:59:00.002-07:00

Sunday Stampers Week 22 - With a little help from my friends

2008-07-18T08:58:00.000-07:00

Sunday Stampers - Week 21 - Ebony and Ivory

2008-06-21T09:57:00.001-07:00

Here is my Sunday Stampers effort for this week. Yes I know I even got it in before the next challenge has been set. I used one of the large chipboard tags from The Artistic Stamper along and stamped the autumn leaves flurishes with black stazon. The butterfly is a Linda Luckin design from The Artistic Stamper and I used black glitter on the outline to give it a velvety look.

Yeah my ickle good bag arrived :)

2008-06-13T12:49:00.000-07:00

I won some blog candy woohoo from the lovely Roni who recently celebrated 6 months of blogging. Please stop by as Roni has some fabby techniques to share and her work is stunning, love the posh sandpaper :)

Here is the pic of my lovely goody bag. I am so chuffed I got a queens dresser drawer stamp and the ickle square stamps are really cool and the papers are fab. Am going to have a play tomorrow and then I'll pop the results of my efforts on here :)

Sunday Stampers - Week 18 - Dogs

2008-06-08T13:04:00.003-07:00

Now this one I was on my way to doing as I had to make a card for a friend :)

Very Simple but very cute and everyone loves Snoopy :)

Butterfly Card

2008-06-02T10:09:00.000-07:00

This is a stamp I got last week and its a fab stamp by Linda Luckin as is the peacock feather I used for the background. The stamps are available from the Artistic Stamper in 2 diffrent sizes and they are fab so everyone should buy these stamps :)

The peacock feather is stamped in versamark and then I brushed some mica powders over the top in gold. The Butterfly was embossed in gold then I've used Irridescent H2Os in Gold and red to colour the butterfly in. I have added a little old gold glitter and a peel off best wishes to finish it off.

Encaustic Playing

2008-05-26T11:53:00.000-07:00

Ok here we go with a couple of Encaustic painting I've done this evening. I was determinefd to get some good flowers done so here are the results :) Sorry the pics arn't excellent and they arn't mounted as yet but they will be :) one day :)

Orange Fat Book Page

2008-05-26T05:15:00.000-07:00

Ok I have made this hoping that Hels cheeky monkey that she is will NOT at some point make the theme for Sunday Stampers orange.

Hopefully this will demonstrate I can use the colour orange(yuck) successfully and she won't beat me round the head and put it as a challenge one week, pretty please Hels :)

Inspiration Wall

2008-05-18T08:20:00.000-07:00

OK this post has been building for a while and finally I have got my butt in gear to take a picture.

I can't take credit for all the work in this picture and I'm sure some of the poeple that read this will recognise some of work involved. Unfortunately my camera can't take a picture of the whole wall which is crammed with fat book pages, tags and ATCs and is still growing.

If I'm stuck this is my newest tool to help get rid of crafters block.

When I finally got my own house this year I decided I wouldn't stick my swap in boxes so this is how the idea came about. Thankyou everyone who I have swapped with so far and all those to come you do help me more than you realise.

Collectormania

2008-05-05T23:08:00.000-07:00

OK now some of you may know I popped to Milton Keyenes for Collectormania this weekend.

It was soooooooooo busy on Sunday because John Barrowman and some of Team Torchwood were signing Sunday only. Kai Owen who plays Rhys in Torchwood as well as David Prowse AKA Darthvader were signing that day as well as Eve Miles who plays Gwen from Torchwood and Brain Cant from Playschool.

There were also some more familiar faces that I'm sure everyone will recognise :)

Critters Envelope and Insert

2008-05-05T22:59:00.000-07:00

Sunday Stampers - Week 12 Family

2008-05-05T04:01:00.002-07:00

Ok I found this a little difficult just because of the stamps I have but I am luck enough to have a fab friend Mel who has a diffrent style to mine so I used one of hers.

I like it cuase its cute plus I love all the animals too :)

Sunday Stampers - Week 11 -Ticket to Ride

2008-05-05T04:01:00.001-07:00

Finally I know its been a long time coming. I don't have a ton of travel stamps so I went with something different that I thought might make you smile :)

"I@m the kind or person who sees things with my eyes"

2008-05-02T09:25:00.000-07:00

OK this is me being a bit micheviouse but basically it is because the other half quoted the above to me while having a conversation about learning to cook something. I have taken the mickey ever since. Sorry Babes! but it has to be done :)

As a result I was playing with my new stamps last night and this is what I came up with :)

I've Been Tagged!

2008-04-28T12:02:00.000-07:00

Well I've been tagged by my friend Rachel and this means I have to think of seven things about me and share them with you, If I overshare please forgive me, we'll blame it on Rachel :0p

1. I'm terrible for keeping to dates. Give me a time and I'll be early but boy I'm so bad with dates I need like 5 reminders just to get my butt in gear.

2. My most favorite place in the world is Egypt. I went with my mum on a Nile Cruise and went to Cairo and everything and I loved it. I still haven't made my scrapbook but I love looking at the photos, I have so many great memories.

3. I love rubber stamping. Have only been stamping about 2/3 years I suppose but this past year have been introduced to so many different techniques using distress inks, alcohol inks -im addicted -thanks Hels.

4. I have a cat called Bobby (Roberta), the owners agreed to leave her behind when we bought our house.

5. I have a wood lather so I can make my own lace bobbins but I haven't found anywhere to put it yet so it's still at my mums.

6. My favorite superheroes are Spiderman and Venom I have several signed comics.

7. Am also a bigggggggggggggg Doctor Who Fan from way back and don't miss an episode and regularly watch the re runs of the old and new series even if I've watched them several times already - they help me craft :)

So now I need to tag 5 other people :)

I used the Botanicals See Dee set along with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. The Main Flower is lightly coloured with Cosmic Shimmers and I used some foils on the plain inky strip.

Sunday Stampers - Week 10 - Green

2008-04-20T10:11:00.000-07:00

OK I don't do green usually its not my type of colour and is second only to Orange ( Thats not a hint for a future challenge by the way Hels) :)

Since this is a frog though it did make it a little bit easier and Burt is cute. The dream stamp is from Clevercut, Burt used to be licesnces to Creative Expression but not sure if this is till the case and the inks are from Ranger the Nick Bantock ones.

Sunday Stampers - Week 8 - Lady

2008-04-20T10:05:00.000-07:00

I love this theme because although it might sound daft it got me singing that song by Tom Jones. You know "shes a ladieeee, talking about my special ladie.

Anyway I don't do many tags but here we are. I used the See Dee Vintage set along with vintage photo distress inks. The lines were a happy accident with a quickie glue pen and some cream foily stuff from Stix 2.

Sunday Stampers - Week 7 - Oriental

2008-04-20T09:58:00.000-07:00

2008-04-20T09:48:00.000-07:00

My Time to Craft - Week 5 - Pink

2008-04-20T09:42:00.001-07:00

Time to Craft Week 2 - Lace

2008-03-21T03:03:00.001-07:00

Now Suprisingly I don't have loads of Lace of many stamps -How daft is that for a lacemaker. But anyway I did this Fat Book Page using a Anna Griffin Stamp.

I seem to be going throught a bit of a red and flower phase for some reason.

Sunday Stampers Week 5 - Time

Thankyou Bizzy it's fantastic.

Another Altered Tin

2008-02-05T13:29:00.001-08:00

Now I wouldn't say I'm addicted yet but I would say I'm getting there :)

These papers I think are from Dovecraft from TJC Designs. And the fluffy stuff was a bit of lovely fluffy inspiration from the christmas goody bag I recieved for winning a TJC Designs competition at christmas. Doesn't it just look mad :) I love it.

My only problem now is that I need more dabbers because this tin is bigger than my last, hmmm what colours am I missing :)

Altered ATC Box

2008-02-04T13:37:00.001-08:00

This was a project inspired by a post Traci at TJC Designs popped up, that had a link to a project by Clare Feary. Recently I'd started to learn to play poker and when I bought some chips and it left me with this tin.

My inspriation was lost at this point with cards so it was a great distraction and it got me back on

track and here is the altered project :)

Here's just a few pages of the book.

Egyptian Pages

2007-10-14T07:23:00.000-07:00

Christmas Fat Book Pages

2007-10-14T02:05:00.000-07:00

Spring Card

2007-07-18T10:07:00.001-07:00

I thought I would give this a go because it looked interesting. I really like to try something diffrent and this is a nice way of doing a kind of pope up card without going banannas on the cutting.

Quotation Fat Book Pages

2007-07-08T04:02:00.001-07:00

I joined the Quotation list at the Craft Swap Forum and am loving making some of these. I've tried to match up the quotes with the pictures and so far its not going to badly.

Tim Holtz Fat Book Page

2007-05-08T10:22:00.000-07:00

I absolutley love this page. Its especially for Emerald Tiger off of the Craft Swap Forum as its her birthday coming up and shes a big Tim Holtz Fan.
I know before you say it them stamps arn't Tim Holtz's but Anna Griffins Stamps just work soooo well with these colours I couldn't help myself.

Well its nearly a year since the Craft Swap Forum was set up and some of us are taking part in the Birthday Celebrations by doing things to help the forum raise money for charity. I am part of team 7. The theme is autumn and we are making pages for a fat book. I've never tried this before so here are my first attempts at the back and front.

Joanna Sheens New CD

2007-03-08T00:24:00.000-08:00

I received my new Joanna Sheen CD set today and yum yum is all I can say. It's a fab CD from Joanna and I love working with it. Here is the first couple of cards I have made using it.

Framed Flowers

2007-03-02T00:23:00.000-08:00

All these cards are using Matties Embossing Stencils. They really are so beautiful and just give a lovely frame to work with.

Created January 2007

Sunflowers

2007-03-02T00:19:00.000-08:00

This follows on from the Rose card I made a couple of days ago. It looks really dark in the picture but its not actually that dark.

Created 1 March 2007

Perfect Peony

2007-03-01T05:30:00.000-08:00

This is a decoupage I have finally got round to cutting out. The backing paper is called Heirloom Harlequin by Dena Designs.

Chrysanthamum

2007-03-01T05:27:00.000-08:00

I found this colour a little difficult to match but I think this really worked well and the mix of gold and copper peel offs helped too.

Something Diffrent

2007-02-23T04:50:00.000-08:00

I've been working on some new cards so they will be popping up in the next few days. Heres the first:

ATC Information Label

2006-09-24T08:13:00.000-07:00

I made this template on my computer it comes in really handy rather than buying a stamp.
This is for personal use only and not to be sold without permission.

Snowdrop Card

2006-09-02T09:58:00.000-07:00

This is my first attempt at stitched card. It looks fab but yikes it seemed to take forever. It's something you can sit doing while watching TV but I just wish I was a bit faster at stitching.

This is the book where I got the pattern from.

Created 2nd January 2006

Handmade Card

2006-09-02T09:51:00.000-07:00

Updating and Overhalling

2006-07-21T10:01:00.000-07:00

Looking over my blog lately I've noticed its become much more of a Mish Mash that I intended.
So check back regularly in the next couple of weeks as I am going to be re-organising and adding lots of new pictures of my work to hopefully give you some added inspiration over the Summer Holidays.

Welcome to my little corner of the Crafting Universe.

2006-01-02T01:12:00.000-08:00

I've been crafting seriously since I was 11 so I'm not far off my 20 year anniversary.
I started with Lacemaking and moved on to quilling and papercrafting with my number 1 craft being card making.
Please take a moment to have a look through my blog and leave any comments or suggestions of what you would like to see.
Hopefully you will gain a little insight into my style and that will in turn spark some creative juices in you.

Happy Crafting
