Aberdeen

Had a great time this weekend with a fab lot of girls.  Thanks to Lorraine and Moni for putting up with me 😜 We had a blast.  Managed to finish something this time lol.  Advent Calander and of course something incomplete, managed to do the front of a lovely wee album.  So here ye are folks, enjoy, cause I did.

Steel Die Storage

Hi folks
was asked how I stored my steel dies, and after several attempts at it have come up with something lol.

I use a magnetic sheet which is magnetic on one side only the other side I initially stuck to cardstock with the information on other side of cardstock, then I stuck them only on magnetic sheet, then went back to sticking magnetic sheet onto info that comes with dies.  Made it easier than doing both sides of magnet.

 I then store them in strong polypockets, I take off the clip part to enable more to get into my drawer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Playing tonight

My Mojo has certainly returned, playing with card and ink and of course the glue gun.

My mojo has come back

At long last, my mojo came back.   And also why does time have to fly so bloomin fast lol.
I have to thank jennings644 for the technique that inspired this little creation.  Zombie Repellent Box.

    

 

Inside the box is a bar of soap!!!!  The mums loved this.

 

The top and three sides of the box were covered with artists modelling paste, then used vintage photo, rusty hinge and chipped sapphire distress re inkers and scooted with water to make them run and merge.  I then put a touch of gilding paste on it, love that stuff.

 

Here is a close up of the top

 

Loving this effect, want to play with other colours for Christmas.

 

 

 

 

Blondie again

oops forgot to show you, week past saturday went to a craft day and Lorraine, heaven help her, assisted us in making up this gorgeous basket and card to go with it.

Art classes

I have started art classes and at the end of my 5th week I have finished a watercolour.  For someone who was informed she didnt have a have a creative artistic atom in her and wasnt allowed art at school, well I have finished a watercolour.  Even my critical art teacher said it was good and I love it, so thats that lol.
I am soooooo chuffed to the knickers that I have done one.  I have now to do a watercolour still life and then an acrylic or oil painting aaaargh ah well survived this can survive more. 

would you believe that my iphone took a better photo than my camera!!!!!

Laura's tag swop

wow didnt realise how long since my last posting, all I can say is oops Blondie No 57 strikes again lol.
Life has been so hectic but anyway managed to find my camera and finally show you the lovely tags I got in the Shabby Chic Tag Swop hosted by Follow the Paper Trail.

 This tag is by craftylynn, the flowers at the bottom right are not as strong as this on the tag, my camera took it to another level doh, anyway it is a lovely peach colour and compliments the tag very well.

 this tag is by Dori (sorry not sure of surname ?Tarbett) love the sentiment.

 this tag is by J Taylor love the mix of elements they complement one another

 Kathy Salazar did this tag, love the butterflies on the edge die, methinks I might need this one lol

 Kathyjean51's tag, love the leaf element it is good thick chipboard and suits this tag very well, just realised after the fourth look the kraft card comes out lol

 This tag is by Mamie Lou, hasnt she done fab.  Love the mix of feathers and roses, need to use this idea lol.

 Maureen Conway's tag love the 20's era to it and how she used the film strip.  Need to get mine out and use it now.

Sorry but this one had I think three initials that I cannot interpret, if you know please email me so I can give due credit.  Lovely blues in this one.  Simple yet elegant.

Thoroughly enjoyed this swop would do it again.
