Bind it all Spring Book






I have made this for a friends birthday using my bind it all. I have used some lovely DCWV spring papers and some embellishments. I have used other mediums too like jigsaw pieces and Mountboard. I liked the finish, it made a change to do something in bright colours.

Canvas Crazy!


This canvas is for a friend's birthday. I have used pink and blue ink pads for the background and have randomly stamped over the front and the edges in different browns. I have then finished off with some embellishments. Hope she likes it!

More Ladies!


I have made a matching Fat Book page and an ATC for a friend's birthday, but I also thought they would be part of the Sunday Stamper challenge. I have used mountboard for the ATC and Card for the Fat book page. I have used some petal chalk ink pads for the background and the stamps. Embossed in gold around the edges and used some beautiful vellum which I've torn to partly cover the background. I then finished off with some eyelets in the corners which I coloured gold using my Krylon pen.

Sunday Stamper - Ladies



This is my first time joining in with the Sunday Stamper so I thought I would do a couple of cards. Both images have been stamped using Stazon ink on to hand made paper. One is then backed on to a different colour hand made paper and held together with eyelets. The other is backed on to metallic card. I have mounted both on to hammered card which have been edged with matching inks. I then popped on some embellishments to finish off.

Time After Time


This is my second entry for the Artistic Stamper competition. I love the stamp so much I thought I'd have another go! I have gone for an ATC again made of stampboard. I have used Tim Holtz inks to cover the background then stamped over using brown Stazon. I used another bit of mountboard, a circle and used some of the same inks for the back ground and stamped the clock image on to it and edged it with gold Krylon pen. I scratched out some of the image and then put diamond glaze over the clock face. I stuck this so it just overlapped the edge of the ATC. Then I added some mechanical clock pieces some wording and used wax and a clock seal. Lastly I added some ric rac ribbons.

Book of Hearts





Well I think I must be in to hearts and Love at the moment! I love altering chipboard books and when I saw this heart shaped book at the NEC I knew I had to have it! I have covered the pages with papers from creative imaginations and DCWV "all dressed up". Wow!! what fab papers! I have sanded the edges and then embossed with silver. I have used all sorts of mediums, stamping, embossing, chipboard, stampboard, Tim Holtz grunge boardand some ribbons and metal bits and bobs. I loved doing this and hope you enjoy looking at it. xx

ATC - Time Goes By


This ATC was for the challenge that Jennie from Artistic Stamper set. The clock stamp is stunning, just the sort of stamp I like. I decided to do an ATC for the challenge as I have not done one for a while. Well I could have kept going I enjoyed it so much! I used stampboard for the ATC and inked it in a beautiful bright orange ink. I then stamped over it which the stamp using black stazon. I then scratched out part of the finer detail in the stamp. I stamped 4 clock images with white Stazon on to black shrink plastic, I cut around 3 of them and left one square. The square one I attached to some thread and then attached that to the corner of the ATC. I glued the other 3 to the ATC. I then popped on some words. I am really pleased with the results. I hope you like it Jennie. xxx
