More....

Stamps, theses have sat in a drawer unused for the best part of four weeks...time to try them out.

I looked on the Neat and Tangled blog for inspiration.

 

They had used a little bit of glitter 

All in all a versatile set of stamps.

Modern and fresh

Reminds me of Sanderson wallpaper.

Who...

.. Would have thought I'd be using glittery funky foam! but it cuts like a dream...

I used a deer (here we go again) from Memory Box

and trees from Taylored Expressions..the sentiment is from

Clearly Besotted

More easy peasy crafting

Well...

.. That was a challenge.. keeping the ink from getting everywhere..

One quick fix for an ink spot.. stick a gem on it!

Been Making...

...Cards..... They're made the same way as these but with a front piece placed over the frame which was cut using a Tim Holtz die.

The images are digital from Vera Lane Studios

Cute but in a great way.

I love this bunny.

A Few...

.. Cards..I'm absolutely bereft of inspiration at the moment so I've just been clagging stuff on pieces of card and shuffling paper around..

I think I need to get back to my inky grungy roots..

and put away the cute glittery stuff.

Or maybe find a happy medium..

I have the same problem with dressing myself..a contant battle of styles.. one minute its boho stuff the next its preppy stuff.. although at the moment it's if it fits wear it!.. she says... stuffing herself with popcorn!

I Just Had....

to have a go at making these... such a simple idea but so effective.. there's a lot of creative cleaver people out there.....and I came across Valita......I copied...  you can see what she's done here.. These hydrangeas are made with a heart punch from Stampin'Up.

and finished with some pearly centers .. you can get them here.

A Little Romance...

..Is good for the soul or so they say..
Crafty Individuals are starting the month with a new challenge which is 'A Fine Romance'
I thought this stamp fitted the bill...

Nothing too fancy....not that I'll be sending it to the Other Half...He'd think I'd had a bang on the head!!!

Vintage?....

...or Retro?.. whichever it is I love it. I love the colours, the clean graphic images,just everything about it. I love how it's cute without being ickky cute.

A friend bought me this Kaisercraft Advent calendar some time ago, it took a while to find a paper range I wanted to use.

 Then I found Make it Merry from October Afternoon... it's an oldie but the number sheet was perfect for the little drawers The sparkly deer came from The Pound Shop..

There were quite a few bits leftover so I made cards..I'm still in clag it all on mode...

 I can't remember where the reindeer stamp came from...

Not Quite....

.....on schedule with the photo thing... my Pogo is on it's way and I wanted to start as I mean to go on.... so in the meantime here's a few cards...I'm still struggling with getting into the crafting zone but I'll get there!

The images by Pion from 3djean

I really need to get some more of these glittery plastic leaves... I love them, they're neither gold nor silver and look very vintage. I got them from someone at a Ross Papercraft show... for the grand some of £1

and an old favourite .. glass glitter

Hello!

I'm easing my way back into crafting mode....slowly but surely. Health issues still not resolved but trying not to panic and carry on regardless! I spent a lovely afternoon with 3djean and the Ribbon Girl making cards...We got to look in The Ribbon Girl shop!.what lovely stuff!..

 

.I'm in slap it on mode... the more bits the better, the images are from the Grandmas Attic collection from Pion....you can find them here...

 

I love the soft romantic touch of colour.

 

The butterflies are cut from a sheet of 12x12 paper from Kaiser Craft.

The birds are chipboard  from Collection Elements.. I glittered them with  vintage glass glitter
