Mousetrap to note holder in one afternoon!

Hiya

 A while back I was busy mooching on the web as you do, having a bit of a blog hop and I came across a post on http://shellyhickox.blogspot.co.uk/ aka Stamptramp  on an alternative use for a wooden mousetrap. Yes I did say mousetrap.................... Shelly had gained inspiration from another persons blog on how to turn these vile little killing machines into a work of art.

Well I just had to have a go, but have you ever tried to by a wooden mousetrap lately? Not as easy as you think Finally tracked one down and sat looking at it for a while.  I was having a hard time trying to visualise something arty from something so vile. Then yesterday morning again mooching on the web and up popped a post from Hel's Sunday Stamper challenge blog.This weeks theme is................. male themed, inspiration hit as to what I could do with this little wooden object and as they say the rest is history. Why not pop along and visit Hel's and her amazing blog at http://pinkleart.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/sunday-stamper-week-210-this-boy.html

Wooden killing machine into a magnetic note holder.

Pop a magnet on the back, stick to the fridge and job done.


These two little bundles of magic arrived last week.  How pretty do they look, gotta love AFTH for their presentation. http://www.afth.co.uk/

What was inside -  Summer colours of distress and boy are they really fab.  I Luv the blue.

Thanks for stopping by my little space of art.  Would love you to leave a comment.

A little bit of pink to help the blues

Hiya

I needed to make something that was a little bit out there to help lift my mood.  Something like this would have normally taken me a day to complete but unfortunately due to PAIN it has taken me from Sunday morning. I just cannot work for long periods of time......................So what did I make.

Well when I need a lift out comes the Dylusions..........................Nothing makes me smile more

What did I use to make this amazing creation.

• Dylusions Inks - Melted Chocolate, Lemon Zest, Fresh Lime, Vibrant Turquoise
• Dylusions Stamps - Around the Edge,Background love, Doolally Dorris, Quintessential Quotes, Bits of this
• Dylusions Stencil
• Dy's House download
• Wendy Vecchi - Accents for Art (flower pattern for the rose)
• Ranger - Gesso
• Distress Stain - Picket Fence

These products are a complete dream to work with.  This is going in my spare room ready for a visit from my friend Katy Fox in July, cant wait.

I am going to enter this into the Sunday Stampers challenge as it is definitely pink and also the SSSS challenge as that has an anything goes theme!

Thanks for looking, don't forget to leave me a comment as I love to know what you think!
