This Thursday it's all about..

...mistletoe and wine. that's the theme at the TTIAA challenge. I was a bit limited on wine theme images, and mistletoe come to think about it. but I found I had this wine label stamp from non-sequitur (all stamps of the same plate), and I hand cut the mistletoe, the zoomz bead looked just like a mistletoe berry to me. I have used this on a wine bottle, I find this is a great way to give wine as a gift, wrapping it in tissue paper immediatly makes it look more expensive, lol.

moon clock

The theme at one powerful hour this week is "the Moon" I knew straightaway what image I was going to use, but I slept on the ideas of what I was going to do with it. I think sleeping became my inspiration. I then made this this morning, well within the hour.
I decided to alter a CD, mostly because there was one sitting on my desk, but also because, it echoed the moon idea with being round. I then decided to turn it into a clock, as it had a real "time for bed" feel about it, and I have had this clock mechanism sitting around for ages.
I am also entering this for Theme thursday's pink theme, and This thursday it's all about's Art from your heart theme, as I have used a page from my absolute favourite childhood book, The Enchanted Wood.

The collage image and all stamps are by Inka

Creative wednesday

The theme at creative wednesday is "banners". I have made this clown banner using Images from Inka. The background is done with acrylic paints. I am also entering this for this thursday's theme which is masquerade. as a clown's make up is his mask.

more wearable "art"

One of my friends has just had a baby girl and has named her Lillie. An unusual name, so I thought it would be nice to create her a unique baby vest (onesie) with her name on. I know she is going to be treated like a complete princess so I thought it would be cute to do a Princess Lillie vest. I embroidered the name and stamped the Princess word, the crown and the flowers in versacraft. I also stamped the cute phrase on the back "Don't treat me any differently than you would the queen" I have sewn on some beads on the front as all princesses need a little bling. I am entering this for This thursday it's all about's stashbuster theme as I have had these beads for years. I am also entering it fot TGiF's free theme.

All stamps are by Inka

hallowe'en centrepiece

The challenge at theme thursday is Hallowe'en and the theme at This Thursday it's All About is black, so I have combined the two challenges to make this miniature witches hat centrepiece. I have made the hat from black card, and used collage images by inka, these image are printed so that you have two of the same images but exact mirror images. this means that this piece looks the same from the back meaning it can be used as a centrepiece. also as these are printed onto cardstock they do not need any further reinforcement. the wire is just cheap green floristry wire, which holds it's shape really well.
I apologise for the quality of the picture, the light is fading here.

This thursday it's all about..

..winged things. I've gone for a Bee, but a Queen Bee, no less. This is a notebook that I have decorated.
All stamps are Inka, the crown is from an Inka collage sheet, and the paper is papermania

This thursday...

The theme at this thursday it's all about is "the golden rule" which means you have to create something that is either beautiful or useful. I wouldn't be so bold as to claim that anything I make is beautiful, so I'm entering something useful. A bookmark!
This is a "chick lit" themed book mark for a good friend who had to leave my chick lit reading group as she is moving away. so this was part of a gift for her.
I have used an old book page, as well as the main image I have used a torn stamp, a floral swirl and dot flowers, all from Inka. I have covered the front in clear film so that it will be a bit longer lasting.
