<br />
Wow it has been a long time since I blogged, 7 months! Not good.<br />
<br />
What have I been up to:<br />
<br />
My business as Art Workshops had a really busy first full year and I guess time just run away with me.<br />
<br />
On the note of Workshops: My latest creation was to transform a plain old black diary into in my opinion a piece of art for my workshops in 2015. <br />

The amazing Finnabair has a challenge up on her blog called Sparkle-shine blog hop. So i am going to enter the diary into the challenge. Believe me it was a challenge, because I am so not a glitter girl....But I felt I could just about cope with using Finnabair Charcoal Art sugar.<br />
<br />
<br />
All you have to do is create a piece of art that has sparkle or shine, upload it and whilst you are there pop along and visit all her amazing creative team, grab a cuppa as you will be there for a wee while . All details are to be found below.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Another long time in between blogging...............................!Eek, were is this year going too?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I decided that I would enter the latest CC3 challenge as I had a few hours to spare, which is hosted by the lovely Linda. You can find the details here <a href="http://lindaledbetter.com/2014/05/compendium-of-curiosities-3-challenge-3.html">http://lindaledbetter.com/2014/05/compendium-of-curiosities-3-challenge-3.html</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">This challenge is being sponsored by <a href="http://www.inspirationemporium.com/">http://www.inspirationemporium.com/</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Challenge 3 is the Faux Tea Rose Technique. Part of the challenge is that you are not allowed to do a write up on the technique, sorry about that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">At the moment I am really in to changing "things". I had brought the bottle shown below a few weeks back in a local supermarket for future use LOL. Okay I brought two! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So what did I do.........</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Out came the most amazing product known to crafters, AKA Wendy Vecchi Embossing paste. I covered the bottle with the black paste and gave it some added texture before it dried by patting the flat side of the pallet knife all over the bottle. I adore this product for sure.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> I then covered the bottle over the paste with two colours of Treasure Gold wax to give it a certain aged look (thanks Hels for the tip).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The flower, tag and leaves were coloured using Wendy Vecchi Archival inks and Tim Holtz distress ink. </span><br />

<br />
<br />
On Friday I noticed Craft Stamper had a Take it Make it challenge starting for April and I thought I might have a wee go at this one, seeing it is an age since I took part in a challenge.<br />
<br />
The theme was BOTTLES....................Okay at this point I thought maybe next month.....................I then hopped over to Hels Sheridan blog to see her take on the challenge as Hels is part of the DT. If you have time pop over and have a look see at what Hels created.<br />
<br />
http://pinkleart.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/gorra-lorra-bottle-make-it-take-it.html<br />
<br />
Hels had changed a bottle using Wendy Vecchi Embossing paste, this set the little cogs in my brain working and I was back in the game again.<br />
<br />
I set about changing a couple of small bottles with the said Embossing paste. I had no real idea what I was doing or really how it was going to turn out. I have to be honest once the bottles were dried I really like how they had turned out. I will definitely do this technique again.<br />
<br />
To give the bling look I was after I set about the bottles once the embossing paste had dried with Treasure Gold in two different colours. (Thanks Hels for the tip on how to change the look of the bottles).<br />

I recently discovered gilding flakes, yes I know slow on the uptake............ They create such a fab and unique look each and every time you use them and you never quite know what you are going to end up with as a design.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I covered the top of the table with the flakes and the around the edge of the table I used Treasure Gold once again.</div>

Now as it is a Crafter Stamper challenge it has to include a tad of stamping!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I coloured the legs of the table with distress paint and then stamped one of Tim's ATC size stamps as the wood grain, not looking to shabby I thought? </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid2vZ8du7OctGcSei2XU2Vw7A2aPO0JfrxdYqwuzsuU9_6Pc3FPgzfLpneuTSq6oxBfHwPjRoIJsGeSx-2poinsjFL_cCBrS8_tbFjaFK8f6MubqY6VwgA6afzY4hhAV0zzkGVJGR9Y3A/s1600/final+piece.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid2vZ8du7OctGcSei2XU2Vw7A2aPO0JfrxdYqwuzsuU9_6Pc3FPgzfLpneuTSq6oxBfHwPjRoIJsGeSx-2poinsjFL_cCBrS8_tbFjaFK8f6MubqY6VwgA6afzY4hhAV0zzkGVJGR9Y3A/s1600/final+piece.jpg" height="320" width="197" /></a></div>
<br />
Finally I stamped a label with my favourite word and tied it with Jute around the neck of the largest bottle, added a few roses, job done!<br />
<br />
I hope you like my creation and thank you to Craft Stamper for the challenge. Why not head over and have a look at the amazing art that has been created for the challenge by the team.<br />

Workshops<br />
<br />
I decided last year that I was going to run workshops in the North East to enable mixed media artists to come this far "up North" and spend a couple of days teaching. I did one on July and one in November and they both went really well. So this year I am stepping it up and trying to run one at least once a month.<br />
<br />
I had two weekend workshop with Hels' Sheridan as the Designer/Educator booked back to back to run on the last weekend in Jan and the first weekend in Feb. For them to run seamlessly there is a huge amount of preparation leading up to and during the weekend.<br />
<br />
We had 19 ladies on each weekend. Two projects that were totally different from each other. One was a gorgeous canvas and the other a master board packed with texture. <br />
<br />
Both weekends went really well and I have further workshops booked with other artist during this year. So all is good.<br />
<br />
Just a photos: <br />

I teach the most adorable 8 year old "Art" once a month. Whatever I show her she just sucks it up and then goes on to make something special. <br />
<br />
This is what she made this month...............<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Well first of all a Happy New Year to you all.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I thought I would end this year with a little old piece of wall art. Since moving I so miss having all my wall art around me that I thought I know I will combine my love of crafting with my obsession The Maldives................... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I have been lucky enough in my life to have been to this amazing place on earth a few times and would go back in a heart beat. So I have created my little piece of Maldives Magic to hang up and make me smile and also to believe that the good times to come are just around the corner of 2014. </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Every time I look at it I am transported back to that particular beach, in that particular moment of time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The majority of the products are Tim Holtz from rub on's, distress paint, ideaology to his material. Gotta love a bit of Tim. I did sneak in a wee bit of Wendy, the Heart is a Blossom Bucket wooden one.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">So here we go .......</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Lots of different products being used on these three burlap panels. My mantra for 2014 is going to be use it or lose it. Having put 3 big boxes into storage and brought to many boxes to admit to on here to the new house I have to start using what I have........</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week I finished my last Christmas home décor piece for this year. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At the beginning of the year I was given as a present a Tim Holtz Printers Tray by the lovely Hels Sheridan. My full intention was to create a Christmas decoration with it. Each year I like to make something to put around my home that is not shop brought and massed produced. This was the just the right size for what I wanted. As it has to be my main feature this year as unfortunately all my other Christmas decorations are in a storage container somewhere in the North East.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I spent all of last weekend making it happen and I am really pleased with the result to be honest. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I used the December Technique from 12 Tags Of 2013 again, but this time I coloured the CFA and not the FF as I only had white CFA.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I seriously cannot believe how many products went into the making of this piece of art. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hiya </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I promised myself I would be a better blogger, so check me out, blogging again so soon.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My reason for starting to blog nearly 2 years ago was to enter more challenges and be more confident in my art. Somehow life has got in the way of me keeping that promise.........................BUT I vow to change that and do better.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tim Holtz and Wendy Vecchi, two of my favourite designers collaborated in combining two of their own products Frosted Film (TH) and Clearly for Art (WV) and they both shared their results on the 1st December. I was blown away with the results. I needed to make a few festive art décor projects for our temporary home, as all of my Christmas décor is in storage along with 75 % of our belongs.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I knew I had some CFA and FF somewhere in the stash I brought with me to the new home. So with a bit of hunting I tracked down both products. Unfortunately I only have the white CFA so my take on Tim's flowers has come out slightly different, but pretty stunning none the less. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I am in a creative block I always revert to paper blocking, I love it, there is no right or wrong, you just do it. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am going to enter this art project in 12 Tags of 2013. Now I know technically it isn't a tag, but I did use a tag for the stamped verse, so not going to <strong>Freak my Freak</strong>, its creative and uses the technique, so it fits........................................</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I cannot believe it has been over two months since I have last blogged. That is way too long.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A lot has taken place over that time period </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 I have an art student - she is 7 years old and a total dream to teach.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Hels and I held our second workshop in the Northeast.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. I arranged my first Art Birthday for a group of 10 years old.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. The biggest heartbreak was moving from my home of 8 years.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5. I won a set of Wendy Vecchi stamps from the lady herself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Guess not bad for two months worth of MIA</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So lets get this photo heavy post started. In no particular order.........</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A group of wonderful artists who came to Hels Sheridan Melt Pot weekend. We had a fun crazy time, just what I needed to be honest. They all made some amazing creations using UTEE. Thank you ladies for making it a good weekend and hers to Jan and Feb where we will all meet up again.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I covered a Wendy Vechhi Art Part square with Studio 490 Embossing paste. Sprayed it to death with Dyan's inks and then stamped into the paste. I just love stamping into paste the effect is just mega. Once dried I used Tim's Distress Crackle paint to paint the outside frame, Distress paint to edge the frame, covered the sides and back with Tissue tape and finally stamped a birthday banner. Attached a few flowers, idealogy numbers and it was finished - a little Birthday Plaque.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I really enjoyed the last canvas I made for a colleagues daughters birthday and another colleague wanted something similar for her niece. I only had a smaller canvas at home, so I had to scale it down somewhat. But again very happy with the result. I have decided to use the splatter sides again as I love how it turns out. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I tried to use a Hels technique on another canvass, but it went very horribly wrong. So I covered the canvass with cream paint, bringing it back to a plain canvass and set about it with my fav paints of all time Distress..............</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Unfortunately you cannot see all the layers as I only had Gloss glue and seal left to cover the canvass and it give quite a shine. I LOVE this so much it has such depth and layers it is just mega lush.</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So all in all a fab crafting few days off.<br />

<br />
Had to have a little down time following our weekend workshop. Looking forward now to the Melt Pot weekend coming up in October and then two more workshops to plan and prep for in Jan and Feb. All good stuff!!<br />
<br />
One of my colleagues daughter is 16 in September and he asked me if I could "make Something". Don't you just love them words, NOT. Fills me with utter dread to make a commission, as the kind of stuff I like doing is definitely a bit out there at times for non crafty people. <b><u>BUT</u></b> never one to not take up a challenge I set about "making something".<br />
<br />
There were a couple of pre-requisites<br />
<br />
1 Must include the infinity symbol<br />
2, Must include one of her favourite sayings (which just happens to be a Tim Holtz stamp)<br />
<br />
So with an otherwise blank canvass I set about making the "something"!<br />

Hiya,<br />
Warning this is photo heavy..................<br />
<br />
This time last weekend it was all over...................What was I hear you ask, the weekend workshop I organised for 16 lovely ladies with Hels Sheridan.<br />
<br />
Everything went as planned, so I am more than happy, actually I am flippin ecstatic. I have to be honest it really tired me out, but we had fun and that was the aim of the weekend for sure. They must have all enjoyed it as there all coming back in Jan and quite a few of them are coming to the Melt Pot weekend workshop in Oct.<br />
<br />
I had Hels, Katy and Lou all staying over at my house, which was a tad mad at times, but looking back very funny in others. Lou is a complete scream and she had Hels and I literally crying with some of her stories. She describes herself as the female Carl Pilkington and to be honest she really is, love her too bits.<br />
<br />
So a few pics from the weekend and then I will show you my latest make.<br />

As you can imagine I did not have time to join in the fun, so this weekend was my time......... I created this 3 panel Burlap wall art. This was one of the classes taught on the weekend. I decided to use colours that I would not normally go for.................Not sure I am feeling the love, but I am sure it will grow on me.<br />

<br />
I am organising a workshop weekend with the wonderful Hels Sheridan. We have 16 very talented ladies coming to play next weekend in Middlesbrough. Very excited as this is the first time Hels has been this far up North teaching. I had to meet up with her to pick up supplies last weekend and it seemed like a really good idea to meet at the Craft Den in Sheffield were Hels was teaching an Altered Box workshop. The Craft Den is a wonderful crafting heaven owned by the lovely Lynn. Whilst I was there it would have been rude not to take the class at the same time, wouldn't it? Well that's my excuse.<br />
<br />
Below is what we made, as per normal I didn't finish it in the class but at home and I love it. I am going to enter this in the Simon says stamp and show challenge as this week it is all about green. <a href="http://simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.co.uk/">http://simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.co.uk/</a><br />

One of my colleagues children is away at the moment in France on a School trip, so I have made her a little memory book for when she comes back. I love paper bag books they are so easy to make and can be made for any occasions for sure.<br />

Two blog posts from me in the same day, Wozza.<br />
<br />
I finally had time to finish off a project yesterday that has been hanging around for a while, we all have them don't we!<br />
<br />
When I am in a funk I revert back to Paper blocking, its like my safety net.<br />
<br />
I absolutely adore Tim Holtz Destination papers, they make me smile and remember past holidays. I really wanted a washed out background to not compete with the centre display. I have had the Alpha cards from when they were released a few CHA's ago, but have never used them, so I set to put that right. I am really happy with how this project worked out.<br />

<br />
Again Life has been getting in the way of my crafting and posting to be honest. But I have managed a few little nuggets........<br />
<br />
First up <br />
<br />
One of my very good friends is Katy Fox, some of you may know that she is the Editor of Craft Stamper. Well I always find it very hard to make Katy a Birthday card for obvious reasons and I refuse to buy one. So I set about making her a card with a difference. I took a paper Substrate hanging thingy from Paper Artsy and this is what I made. I have to say I loved it, definately a different type of card for sure!<br />

I was still in the different Birthday card mood so up next was an Art Part Frame for my sisters birthday.<br />
This time I decided to stamp into Embossing Paste as per Wendy's technique I saw on You Tube. <br />
<br />
I really liked the stamping into Embossing paste technique and will definately will use this again.<br />

<br />
I just had to share the following with you all.<br />
<br />
Every now and again I have my husbands second cousins daughter over for a craft session. We have completed projects using paper blocking, melt art and collage. This time she wanted to make a card and a present for her Teacher who is leaving the school in July.<br />
<br />
Now I could have made my life a lot simpler as I was suffering on Saturday by getting her to make a very easy card and have speeded up the whole session, but she has such a drive and passion for learning that I just could not do that to her. Under my tution she created an amazing couple of projects and yes she did all but the fussy cutting her self.<br />
<br />
Please remember she is only 9 YEARS OLD.................<br />
<br />
Well here are the two master pieces, what do you think?<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hiya,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sorry for the absence, but things didn't go according to plan.........I ended up having two spine operations in the space of two weeks and a whole lot of pain in-between. But hey I now seem to be on the mend, just need to accept I have limitations, which with me is easier said then done!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think during the two Op's my creative Mojo took a bit of a battering as each time I sat down to do something my mind just went blank. So on Saturday my lovely Husband drove me to Sheffield so I could attend a workshop by the very talented Hel's. The workshop was held at the Craft Den which is owned and run by the lovely Lynne. If you ever get time to go for a visit you will not regret it at all.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We created a canvas using various techniques, we got very inky and painty but what the heck it was fun. Now in my opinion this is not my best work, but I love it as it has shown me that there is a smidgen of mojo lurking around. Thank you Hels and Thank you Lynne</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am going to enter this in Hels Sunday Stampers challenge as this week the theme is diamonds and pearls............. </span><br />

<br />
Well the day has finally come for me to go into hospital for spine surgery and to say I am scared is most definitely an understatement for sure.<br />
<br />
So to take my mind off of it I decided to finish off a piece of art to enter into Sunday Stampers. This is a weekly challenge by the talented Hels Sheridan who I am lucky enough to class as a friend. The theme is Shine and my shiny bits so to speak are Perfect Pearls and Bubble Gum Pink Dylusions sprayed onto the rose, Crackle Accents and Treasure Gold Emerald.<br />
<br />
I wanted to try out the paint scrapped technique that Hels taught me recently on a paper substrate that I brought recently from Paper Artsy. So without further ado here is the result.<br />

<br />
Sorry for not blogging for a couple of weeks, but I was away on a fab weekend in Rochdale with the amazing Hels Sheridan learning how to do amazing "stuff" with a product called Treasure Gold and then life just got in the way as it does. The weekend was full of techniques and lots of great products to play with.<br />
<br />
I went to the weekend with the lovely Debbie who thankfully decided to drive us both, think that might have something to do with my telling her a few of my driving antics, especially November and the M 62 and a works lane, but that is so another story.<br />
<br />
I met up with my buddy Lou and was so happy we were able to celebrate her birthday with her on the Sunday doing all things crafty. The group was jammed packed with talented creative people, just what i needed for sure.<br />
<br />
Sorry for all the photos that are about to appear, but I am so proud of my tray that I need to show, show, show.<br />
<br />
Thank you for popping by Tuck Towers. I would love you to leave a comment to let me know know what you think.<br />
<br />
Until the next time........<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well that week went rather fast...........</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well I completed my first card from the course 52 card Pick up. Totally out of my comfort zone working on such a small space. I wasn't going to blog the result as I feel I need to improve my skills for this course dramatically. Then I stopped and thought about it for a while and you know it is all about the journey as Tim says. It felt good to push myself and I hope to complete the outstanding ones by March so that I have caught up before the next set are released. But 1 down only 51 to go.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> So without further ado.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
What a week in Tuck Towers is all I can say. Last Sunday I decided to put together a weekend workshop with the very talented Hels Sheridan to take place in July in the North East. Have I ever done this before, erm that would be a no, has it been fun to arrange ERM that would be a YES..............Loving my life at the moment for sure.15 Lovely ladies will be descending on the North East for two days in July being taught by Hels, we have two fab projects in mind and we are going to have a blast, playing with all things inky, Holtz, Vecchi and Ranger................Just get in does life get any better than that, guess that would be a yes read on..............<br />
<br />
<br />
Just had to share this .....<br />
<br />
This morning I woke up and found that a fellow crafting buddy has signed me up and paid for an amazing on-line class by Stephanie Ackerman. It is called 52 Card Pick up and it is amazing. Here is a little picture of how fab this course is going to be.<br />
<br />
<img alt="52cardbannerpictureframed" src="http://homegrownhospitality.typepad.com/.a/6a00d834518f7769e2017ee7ff5621970d-500wi" /><br />
Can you believe that these were just plain old playing cards until Stephaine started playing with them, no pun intended. The course is a year long and I am so looking forward to getting to grips with it. A mega huge thank you to a lady called Karen for a wonderful present, you are a special lady for real.<br />
<br />
The link below will take you to Stephanie blog and from there to 52 card pick up, go have a look see you will not be disappointed and join up for some fun.<br />

<b><u>Splodgeaway</u></b><br />
<br />
I went to a local craft show today and met a very talented man called Tom. He is the inventor of the Splodgeaway mat. He very kindly demonstrated how to use the mat , using his fab masks and all I can say is wow. I was sold, job done, want everyone I know who plays with inks to have one. Go and have a look at his YouTube videos to see what I mean. Also big thank you to Sam who let me have a play with the mat myself. <br />

<br />
Hope you have all had a good week and have managed to spend some quality time creating.<br />
<br />
I am still in the Valentine mood, but it is wearing a bit thin now LOL. One more project to go and one abandoned project into the cupboard of doom.<br />
<br />
I recently brought two black slate hearts i saw in Hobbycraft. I decided to start with the largest one and add a few bits and pieces, but I wanted to take myself out of my comfort zone of only working with odd amounts of embellishments (i know strange). I have this real thing about odd numbers in life in general ..........So I decided to work with FOUR roses instead of three and believe me it was trauma. I stuck it all down and then ripped it all off twice, before finally deciding that I could live with the finished piece. Will not be doing that again in a hurry.<br />
<br />
Love working with Perfect Pearls but I know have two bottles which will not spray, If anyone has an ideas other than using hot water please let me know.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well the snow has hit the North East during the last week and boy is it cold, slippery and white. I love the snow but only if I do not have to go out in it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">CHA is now over and all the new goodies will be hitting the stores over the coming months and quite a few of them will be winging their way to Tuck Towers for sure.. Oh Dear.....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am changing my blog at the moment and it is taking a while to find a design that I like and that also works with Blogger!!!!!!!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> So what have I been up too........</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The project below is my second Valentine piece of art for this year, I managed to sneak in a couple of hours today to finish it off. I will be entering it into Sunday Stampers challenge for this week as the subject is birds and on both of the UTEE hearts there is a tiny wee bird.</span><br />

<br />
I am truly obsessed with Paper-blocking to the point of it is my first thought when starting a project............need therapy for sure.<br />
<br />
Any-ways this is the first of my Valentine inspired projects, I have several in mind and in fact have another two on the go. Now anyone who knows me is fully aware I am not the romantic lovely dovely type person but Valentines is hitting my radar this year. Trying to convince my other half that craft goodies are okay for Valentine present, wish me luck on that one.<br />
<br />
So without further ado here we go..............<br />

My other project that I was stressed.com about was 60 Christening Invitations for a couple of friends who are having a family Christening for their three little bundles of joy. I do not normally do commissions as the stress levels I put myself under are just not worth it, but this was a special case.............. Even though the invitation needed to be "normal" still managed to get a bit of Ranger/Tim's products in there - Distress Black ink and Silver paint, Embossing folder -------------where there is a will there is a way.<br />
