Monday ... Already!

Yup ... it is Monday already ... dunno where last week went ... or most of the weeks this year really ... but they appear to be going at an alarming speed!

Monday means a new theme at Simon Says Stamp and Show and this week it is hats! My sample was a long time in the making and to be honest ... I am not at all happy with it ... but I ran out of tweaking time ... so this is it!

I have mainly used THE Wendy Vecchi Art Parts and THE Wendy Vecchi stamps ... I have also included a couple of bits of Lord Tim of Holtz Tissue Tape and Idea-ology! You know Tim ... the man that can right all the wrongs in the world while saving nigh on extinct reptiles in the Amazon with just a jump ring and a single letter doodad!

Went to the NEC yesterday with the lovely Karen and have to admit to being a tad disappointed by the repetition of product in the stamping bit! I pulled my long sulky ... I don't wanna go face when the lovely Karen dragged me into the fabrics and textiles hall ... but OH MY GOODNESS ... Yummy or what! So much colour and texture all in one place ... LOVED it! There was even a marquee sized knitted aquarium ... mind boggling! I bought stuff to sew ... and I can't even sew ... that's how good it was!

So ... are you going to join in with the Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge this week? There is a $50 shopping spree up for grabs ... Thanks to the lovely people at Simon Says Stamp.

I am off to bed ... just hoping I have calculated the change in time zones correctly!

Laters! 

Ding Dong!

Oh Yeah! A bit of early planning from me today ... well ... I say early ... this book has been in the planning stage for about three years :0) So although it is early for Christmas 2010 .... technically it is very late for Christmas 2008 or maybe 2007!

I am finally being brave and using up all my scraps of the Cosmo Cricket 'Be Good' papers! I LOVE those papers ... a lot ... and each year I look for something I am going to like more and each year ... I still LOVE the 'Be Good' range the most! Why ... Oh Why don't they make them any more??? I know I am not the only one that loves them ...

It's like when you fall in love with a certain lipstick or blusher ... it becomes your all time favourite but when you go in and try and buy some ... they have stopped making it! You get that ... 'Well nobody wanted it anymore' response from the counter assistant ... and there is a little voice screaming inside you saying ... WELL ACTUALLY I BLOOMIN' WELL DID!

Anyways enough of my moaning ... I had great fun making this ... I used the 6X6" craft covers from Zutter ... my trusty Bind-It-All ... the aforementioned papers ... Darkroom Door Christmas Stamps ... Ranger Distress Inks as water colours ... some ribbon and a few jingley bells ... so it even sounds like Christmas :0) Ooops I nearly forgot the PaperArtsy Poinsettias and the triple embossing but not the Lord Tim of Holtz Grungepaper ... you know Tim ... the man that can wing walk without a harness or a plane while making chocolate eclairs with just an ornate frame and one brad!

Right-Ho then ... I am away to make stuff ... not sure what yet ... but I am sure I will think of summink! What you up to???

C'mon spill ...

It's Bean a While!

Can you see what I did there??? Huh??? Can you??? Clever use of the word Bean ... seeings as this is an altered Bean can!!! Yup ... I thought so!

This little guy is going to sit on my desk next to my WOYWW anniversary calendar! Just in case you were wondering ... I do know it is n't the 25th of July today ... that was the day I made it :0)

The whole can is covered with Lord Tim of Holtz's Grungepaper ... you know Tim ... the man that can turn Nylon into silk on a whim while creating diamonds out of gravel with just the teensiest amount of Black Enamel Accents and the lid from a pot of Aged Mahogany Distressed Stickles.

The Grungepaper is painted with Claudine Hellmuth's deliciously black 'Charcoal Black' acrylic paint and bound using the Bind-it-all and some waxed cotton and beads! The flowers and butterflies are stamps by THE Wendy Vecchi and coloured with Faded Jeans and Peeled Paint Distress inks. The flowers were attached using the Zutter popper wotsits which means that instead of twiddling my thumbs ... I can twiddle me flowers instead.

The back label jobby wotsit is Tim's Sizzix label die ... with the ends chopped off ... very carefully of course ... I did n't harm them in the making of this piece!!! And finally the centre bit of one of Tim's key holes... also humanely doctored!

I still have n't managed to get around all the WOYWW desks this week ... but I am going to have another go today ... there is just sooooooo many ... I am also going to dabble in a spot of card making ...

Laters!

Oh My Goth! Another Screen!

It had been a while since I used my Stampotique stamps so when I was designing my Zutter DT samples last month I decided to dust them off and get them out! In fact there was quite a bit of dusting going on because my Pro Markers got to see the light of day again too ... never before has such an expensive set of pens seen so little use! Oh and my Darkroom Door Rockstar stamp collection had it's first outing ... Note to self ... try and only buy what you are actually going to use regularly!

There were several items that required no introductions ... because I use them all the time ... my trusty Bind-it-all being one ... and if you squint and press your nose right up to the monitor you may just see my little Lord Tim of Holtz Skull and Cross bones all shrunk ... I say Skull and Cross  Bones ... I actually cut off the bones part and just  went with the skull! Well nine of them actually but they have proven a little tricky to photograph! You know Tim ... the man that can converse with the animals while holding welcome talks with beings from another planet with just a jump ring and a teeny tiny piece of rubber ... without an image :0)

I must away ... I did n't get around to any desks yesterday and plan to rectify the situation by visiting them all today ... oh and then stop by and say Hi to all my regular haunts ... it is all go in Blogland :0)

Have a good one whatever you are doing ...

Laters!

Special Delivery!

While I was at Ranger U the Zutter Zisters held a Bouncing Baby Blog Hop in celebration of the newest arrival to the Zisterhood ... DT Zister Sophie Sim gave birth to Sage on 31st May ... to celebrate we all made a Baby project for the Zutter gallery in July and then posted them to Sophie and her family.

After spending time in Lin Brown's workshop ... I was inspired by her work with the Zutter 13X13" Corrugated card and decided to make a word book with mine ... I do hope they like it!

The card and roses were painted with Kaiser colour paint ... in Pretty Pink and Soft Beige and then I embossed with Gold Detail embossing powder using the delicious Paper Artsy flourish ... that I just have to add to everything at the moment!

We have grey clouds hovering over us at the moment ... I am very excited ... the temperature is dropping slowly and I am hoping this is the start of a long winter :0) You know me ... I like to think Big ... not just a few days of rain for me ... oh no! ... an entire winter :0)

I have added some gems to the pins which means that this also qualifies for this week's Sunday Stamper Challenge which is Rhinestone Cowboy!

I hope you have all had a relaxing weekend and Happy 4th of July to all our friends from across the pond!

Laters!

WOYWW!

Morning all! Yup ... This is a very early post ... I shall be up bright and early this morning as I will be setting off for a Christmas Screen Workshop at L.B Crafts in Olney. Don't worry ... I have Crackers and Christmas music ... if my ladies don't feel Christmassy by the time they arrive ... they sure will by the time they leave :0)

It is Wednesday ... so here is my Workdesk for all you WOYWWers ... if you have n't a clue what I am talking about ... well you need to pop over and see Julia ... she explains everything so well! Talking of our Julia ... I see she got a mention in Craft Stamper for the fabulousness that is WOYWW ... way to go Julia!

And if you are a WOYWWer ... and you happen across this post ... pretty please will you link me up???

Nothing ongoing on my desk as I am working on secret squirrel stuff ... but you can still see the last card I made ... I popped it in the easel that Julia and Mr Julia made for me ... I am going to keep a card in it at all times ... that way ... I will always have a card when I realise at the last minute it's someone's birthday :0)

I have swung today too ... just to show you that I have replaced my tatty old shelf unit with a cutting station. Sounds posh huh? It is basically a pasting table ... a luxury one mind! ... which I have loaded up with lots of cutting equipment ... plus ... I could fit lots more drawer units under it ... so it made total sense ... to me anyways! :0)

Finally ... I have made a holder to store my new and very yummy Claudine Hellmuth brushes! A very simple construction ... similar to the one I made for the Masterclass in June's Craft Stamper using my Bind-it-all ... but this time ... more red and more butterflies!

I will catch up with you all this evening!

Bye for now!

Starting From Scratch!

I could never be described as a Scrapper! The size of your run of the mill Lay out terrifies me ... all that white space ... I mean ... Where do you start?

Well today I did! Start I mean! I took a Black Zutter Cover all ... an 8 X 8 bamboo jobby and I embossed ... dabbered and embellished! I then finished it off by adding Zutter page protectors and bound the innards with my Bind-It-All!

For those of you that are not sick of me going on about Ranger U yet ... well this was another one of the 73 techniques. Basically you stamp your image onto black cardstock ... I used the black coverall as the base and then you emboss with clear embossing powder. Next you paint over the entire surface with assorted dabbers and blend with Cut n' Dry foam. Next you mist a cloth with water and wipe over the embossed bits to reveal a  shabby chic look! Cool huh? Lord Tim of Holtz taught me that ... you know Tim ... the man that can remain cool all day even in sweltering temperatures while putting out fires with his bare hands with just an Idea-ology Ornate frame and an Adage Ticket.

Note I did n't mention the football ... that is just too raw ... even for me!

So there you have it ... my very own scrapbook ... all ready loaded with my Ranger U countdown tags ... oh yeah and my security pass ... you know the one ... it says VIP and access all areas :0) So now you have seen two of the 73 Ranger U techniques ... you will tell me when you have had enough ... Right????

I have the crafting bug really bad at the moment ... so I am off to make a little something else ... who knows ... it may even be a Lay out!

Laters!

El Scorchio!

They reckon it was the hottest day of the year so far ... and I reckon they may be right!

I spent most of the day sat out on Hels' new and rather lovely decking rather than making the projects she had organised for us ... but it was too nice to go inside!

I made this little book a while back with summer colours in mind ... so today seems like a perfect day to blog it! I was thinking Mediterranean sun rather than the UK ... but the sky was so blue today and yesterday ... we could have been somewhere in the Med! Anyways ... the book was such fun to make ... it became a class!

To make the book I cut a sheet of grey board in half and coloured it with Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink. I then decorated it with Maya Road chip, Idea-ology corners and lots of yummy Grunge paper from Lord Tim of Holtz. You know Tim ... the man that can catch a Fly with a pair of chopsticks in his sleep while creating a scale model of the leaning tower of Pisa with just a demo sized bottle of Sepia accents and a "Hope" Adage ticket!

The flowers, frame and journalling ticket are coloured with Fired Brick, Spiced Marmalade and Antique Linen ... The pages inside are also coloured with a selection of the same inks and some Glimmer mist!

Of course it is bound with my fabulous Bind-it-all and I have used the 3/4" antique brass wires that are my new favourites!

OK ... I am going to stop typing now because I am beginning to melt ... Have a fab weekend everyone!

June Already???

I can't believe it is June already! That means we are just 6 months away from Christmas ... you know the time of year that I start to mention the C word and never actually get around to making Christmas cards! Mind you ... this year ... I am running a Summer time Christmas class ... and as you know I like to go the whole way with these things so in the next day or so ... I will be scouring the web to find Crackers ... Mince pies and some Christmas music ... maybe that will get me all fired up nice and early!

Do I sound like I am moaning ... well I am soooooo not ... because if today is the First and Ranger U starts on the 18th ... well that means I only have 17 more sleeps :0) How fast is that coming round??? ... It's a good job that Lord Tim of Holtz can make time stand still with just a spritz of watered down re-inker and a blob of glossy accents ... that will mean that those three days of Ranger U will last for ages and ages!

Now I know you are all probably sat there thinking ... What is that woman on? Why has she mentioned Christmas on the First of June ... well the letters which make up the Dream hangy thing in the pictures were in fact from the Daisy D Christmas collection from yonks ago ... I covered them with Terra ... added a little bit of paint and a little bit of sparkle and voila ... a chip hangy thingy wotsit ... I am loving those Hang-it-alls ... so sturdy don't you know!

Right ... well I can't sit here gassing ... I have an anniversary WOYWW challenge doodah wotsit to make ... by ... erm ... tomorrow ... oh and a class to prep for ... and a craft room to tidy ... and some pooter work to do ... and some circle journals to finish ... and car tax to buy ... I may be some time!

My Day Nearly Started with a BANG!

Don't panic ... it was nothing to do with my shiny new and very pink Distrezz-it-all from Zutter ... but more about that later ... first things first ... and I am not entirely sure you are going to believe me ... I feel a bit like the boy who cried wolf after yesterday's ... erm ... dalliance with a whirlwind! ... but this tale is in fact very very very true!

Alarm went off at 7am as usual ... John got up first ... which is unusual on a Thursday but also very lucky as I have no sense of smell whatsoever!!! Anyways John get's up ... goes downstairs ... goes to put the light on and luckily realises ... just in the nick of time ... that he can smell gas!!! So he walks in the kitchen ... without putting the light on ... obviously ... or I would n't be here to tell the tale ... nor would some of the street ... not that they are here ... but you know what I mean ... and he can hear a hissing sound. One of the rings on the hob was on full pelt and had been since 1am this morning when my rather drunk foreign language student fell in the house slaughtered drunk ... attempted to get himself a drink and must have fallen against the cooker and switched it on trying to get up! So once John realised what had happened ... he charged around the house ... verbalising the ways he was going to kill the poor language student ... with rather rude words thrown in at regular intervals ... opened all the doors and windows to clear the air. I managed to calm him down by lunch time and luckily I also managed to keep the aforesaid language student out of his path for a good few hours too ... so we are all safe ... and all is well that ends well!

Now for my new toy. This little book has 18 pages in it ... how long do you think it took me to distrezz 'em all???? ... oh about two minutes ... I LOVE the Distrezz-it-all ... LOTS!

The cover is a cover-all ... also from Zutter. I used Lord Tim of Holtz's Lost and Found paper to decorate as well as his corners and his typewriter key. You know Tim ... the man that can perform three life saving operations all at the same time while handcrafting a scale model of the City of Paris in the top of a cocktail stick using just his Non stick scissors and a curio knob.

Wanna know what's in the book??? Huh??? Do ya??? Well it is a colour guide to all 36 Distress Ink colours and every single page has a distressed edge ... all done at the same time! The Distressed edge that is ... not the colouring.

Have a lovely evening people ... only 22 more sleeps ... Ta ra!

Happy 10th Birthday Craft Stamper

I don't know if you know ... but Craft Stamper celebrates ten years in print with the June 2010 issue ... which goes on sale in the shops tomorrow.

The Design Team were all asked if they would like to design a card for the celebrations ... so I thought I would share mine with you now and if you click here ... you will be magically transported to a gallery where all the other cards are on display ... no need to get up or nothing :0)

The June 2010 issue is a bumper celebratory issue with eight extra pages of projects to enjoy and a  special birthday competition with £1200 worth of prizes up for grabs. There is a fab retrospective feature looking back on ten years of the magazine and the web site has been given a new look with a new interactive gallery so you can upload your work ... How cool??? So what are you waiting for ... Go see!

Now if you squint at the cover ... second box down on the left ... I made that ... I did :0) It is part of my very first Masterclass article ... a whole four pages showing lots of tips and tricks and stuff to help you use your Bind-It-All! Am I excited??? You bet I am :0)

That's me for today ... I have the whole Pingate saga to tell you about ... but it is getting late and that will just have to wait until tomorrow ... See yas!

The Post With No Name!

Okay ... so that promise did n't last long ... you know the one ... I made on Monday ... that I will blog every day at the same time!

I am keeping up with my promise to give some more close ups of my upcycled beer mats though ... for those of you that missed them the first time around ... click on picture for a closer view ... and for those of you that did n't ... well I have included a little wish book and case ... this is my second version of the same thing ... I say the same thing ... I was never really happy with the finish on the first one and I used book rings ... which I was never really happy with either.

The hardware on the cover of the book is lifted from Lord Tim of Holtz ... you know Tim ... the man that is going to make sure that there is no sign of any volcanic ash clouds when I set off for Ranger U in June ... Can you imagine??? ... NO! ... Let's not even go there! Did I mention I was going to Ranger U ... you know Distress ink heaven in ... erm ... 43 more sleeps :0)

Talking of sleep ... I did n't get much last night ... I had a really fun evening of craft in Olney with the Wonderful Lin and the Lovely Karen ... we had medium fish and chips ... when I say medium ... you probably think that was irrelevant and unnecessary ... but the medium fish was 20 metres long and there was enough chips to feed the whole of Olney in one portion ... I cannot imagine what the large Fish and chips would have looked like. Anyways the lack of sleep came about because I was driving along and then someone had closed the road. I mean just closed it ... now when you have a complete lack of any sense of direction like me and Valerie your Sat Nav just does n't recognise road closures ... well let us just say that I got in about 12.45am and I came home via John O Groats!!!

Righty ho ... back to the case. This is one of my May submissions for the Zutter design team ... I used the Bind it all ... some ATCs and a few bits of chip to make the book along with some Idea-ology ... but just look at the cute little case ... that is a Zutter product too ... I just adore it.

Finally back to the job in hand ... it's Wednesday ... and that means it is once again time for WOYWW ... not much to see I am afraid ... just the same old same old ... I must see if I can get a picture mid creative flow next week ... you know jazz the whole thing up a bit. If you need explanation of the acronym WOYWW ... just click here and you will be magically transported to our leader ... who will divulge all!

I am off for a day of crafting and desk hopping ... bit like any other day really ... Have a good one people!

Not For the Faint Hearted!

Blimey! It's Wednesday already ... and the last day of March! Can you believe it? Where has the time gone? It won't be long now and all of us ... or at least the few of us left that have n't got our butts into gear and started our Christmas cards ... will be panicking again!!!

This is my desk ... I did n't say that with any sense of pride I might add ... bit of a mess really! As the header says ... it certainly aint for the faint hearted! I was late with my last Zutter DT submission and it is still on my desk from very late last night.

An unusually pink offering for me I might add ... but after a visit from my baby ... all dolled up and freshly henna'd from an Asian wedding ... I felt all girly and wanted to make her something for a change. Now my little girl ... she is 22 by the way ... is n't the crafty sort ... but she does like her stationery ... so I made her a little note book to keep in her bag with room for notes and pockets for receipts and the like ... she is much more organised than me ... and I just know she will appreciate the pockets :0) I also added a little princess charm ... just to remind her that she is my little princess ... every second of every day.

The covers are made from plain old grey chip ... rounded off with my 1/4" Round-it-All and painted with a Snow Cap Dabber before swiping with Spun Sugar distress ink ... the pages are water colour paper and envelopes torn and swiped with worn lipstick ... as for the frame ... well that is a Lord Tim of Holtz Ornate frame ... painted and swiped ... you know Tim ... the man that can do open heart surgery on 10 people at the same time with just a speck of mica from a bottle of vintage photo distress stickles and the point off a pokey tool.

I have bound the pad with a 3/4" pink O wires and attached a Grunge Paper rose that was first painted with Dusty Pink acrylic paint and then stamped with the Shabby French script stamp ... which I lurve!

Right I am off in search of Julia ... you should all look too ... and then join in this crazy thing we call WOYWW!

**Blog Candy Winner**

I wish I was clever enough to post a picture of the result at Random.org ... but sadly I aint ... so ... without further ado ... the winner of the Zutter Blog Candy on this leg of the hop is *drum roll*

Lots To Do!

Right now ... that is the story of my life ... Lots to Do!

Mostly nice things though ... but still lots of them! It is also the name of a challenge blog ... the Lots To Do Challenge Blog :0) ... and this week the theme is Vintage. So I have made a screen with a vintage theme ... I have used the new and very yummy Graphic 45 papers for the background. Aged the edges with Vintage Photo Distress ink and then decorated them to within an inch of their lives with Crafty Individuals miniatures ... Adage tickets ... memo pins ... Dew drops ... ribbon and Grunge Paper!

I also used my trusty Bind-it-all and this is in fact one of my April DT submissions ... because I rather like it!

I bet you are impressed ... I have mentioned Grunge Paper and Memo pins and Adage tickets all without mentioning ... erm ... you know who ...

Well that is because ... I used Lord Tim of Holtz's Mini Classic and Shabby French stamps ... you know Tim ... the man that can understand what a woman wants even before she knows herself with just a doodad and a solitary ball from a piece of ball chain!

I also used Dark Room Door Full Bloom Vol. 2 ... Don't you just love those tiny Frangipani flowers ... yes that it is definitely what they are called ... I found out last time I used them :0) I say ... I found out ... I think you lot may have done ... so Thanks for that!

Right it is late and I still have stuff To Do! If you came here looking for the Zutter Zisters Spring Blog Hop ... then you just need to click here and you will be magically transported to the correct time and place to leave a comment.

I say correct time and place ... the place is correct but if it is after Monday 29th March 2010 and 7pm EST ... then you are too late ... sorry!

Have a good Sunday everyone!

Come Hop with the Zisters!

Spring is in the air! And the Zutter design team are on the hop! Read on ... there is a prize and everything!

You are cordially invited to join along in the Zutter Zisters Blog Hop... it begins *drum roll* today ... Friday, March 26th at 7:00 pm EST ... and carries on until 7:00 pm, March 29th. 

Now for the small print... visit all the Zister's blogs... make sure you leave a comment on each blog 'cause one lucky lucky person will win one set of Hang it Alls and a Rivet Setter ... and each Zister is gonna give one set away ... How cool is that!! You can find all the other Zisters and their beautiful work here:-

Kamilla; Fleur; Sophie; Pam; Lynne; Sarah; Shelley and Nan

And if you lose your way ... just head for the Bind-it-all blog as all the details will be there too. Now all this talk of hopping made me think of rabbits ... so I made a CD book based on my favourite quotes from Alice in Wonderland!

The idea was that the CDs would look like table cloths ... you know as in picnic ... and the quotes would look like they were on pools of water ... and the characters would be nice and bright looking so they looked like they had stepped out of the pages of the book ... I did n't quite achieve this ... but it was a nice idea all the same :0)

The characters are all Oxford Impressions classic Alice and of course there are a few Wendy Vecchi stamps in there ... oh and Tim's flourish ... you know Tim the man that could reduce the UK's national debt while completing the Times crossword puzzle with just a blob of Worn Lipstick Distress stickles and a blending tool and still be home in time for dinner.

I used 1 1/4" antique brass O wires to bind the book and the characters are all stamped onto glossy card stock and coloured with Marvy Le Plumes ... I know ... had 'em ages and not used 'em ... saw a Rachel Greig demo and now I want more!!!

Ok ... if you have got this far ... well done ... I do go on a bit :0) But then you knew that ... right?

Remember the hop officially begins at 7.00pm EST on Friday 26th March 2010 ... so you can leave a comment here now ... but the US of A Zister's posts won't be up until a bit later! So go on ... leave a comment ... anything you like ... The prizes will all be awarded at 7.00pm EST on Monday 29th March 2010.

You don't need a blog to take part ... just leave some way that we can contact you!

Have a good weekend and Good Luck X

EDIT: I have had lots of requests asking about cutting the edge off the CD. I aim to please so without further ado ...

Score the CD using a craft knife and a ruler approximately 4 or 5 times. Heat the score line with your heat gun ... it does n't want to be hot hot ... just warmish to the touch. Then cut along the scoreline with your Timmy Tonic Studio scissors ... Simples :0)

How We Suffer for our Craft!

And Oh my goodness am I suffering!!!

I bought this lovely pink pen holder in Tescos for a pound!

Bargain!

So then I measure it ... cut myself some yummy Ten Second Studio Pink Diamond metal ... make a humungo tape sandwich with black card and whack it through the Big Shot with a Cuttlebug embossing folder. Lovely Jubbly!

Next I punch all the holes with my trusty Bind-it-All ... pick some ribbon and I thread and I tie and I cut ... until I am happy with the finished piece ... finally I add some extra bling for the flower centres.

It looked a bit bare so I scratch my head and decide to fill it with Cadbury's chocolate eggs ... we are working on our Spring themed submissions ... and I am quite chuffed with the idea ... so coat on ... de-ice the car ... it was last week in the winter ... not this week now it's summer ... I drive back to Tescos and I purchase the chocolate eggs ... I needed a 360g bag ... the pot was bigger than I thought and I needed you to be able to see the contents ... drive home ... open the bag ... stage the tin ... take several piccies ... upload them and I am ready to submit for the Zutter DT. Phew!

I can hear the cogs ticking from here ... you are wondering how I suffered ... where was the pain? ... the hardship? ... the suffering?

................................

Well someone had to eat all those eggs and now I feel really sick :0)

 

Okey Dokey ... now for the official stuff ... if you are here for the Kit N Kaboodles Bunny Hop Crop  Blog Hop ... try saying that with a mouthful of mini eggs ... then the direction you should be hopping in is Lynda's place which can be found by clicking here!

And if you happened across my blog first and you fancy joining in the hop ... then you want to start here.

Have a great Saturday everyone!
