Mojo has gone on vacation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi

My mojo has well and truly deserted me this weekend. Couldn't wait for the weekend just hadn't planned on my mojo deciding to do a runner.

Having said that I have started a new journal page, it is going to be a Maldives "Wish I was here" page.  well that's the plan. A work in progress.















All week I have been engrossed in Tim Holtz Creative Chemistry 101 on-line class. First thing I do when I get home is log on and watch & learn. The classes are fab and if you haven't signed up yet crafting buddies you need to do so.  Here is the link.http://www.onlinecardclasses.com/timholtz/class-info/

One of the girls I work with wears a lot of costume  jewellery and I  have had my eye on a few bits, thinking recycling here.

This little pile of unloved, unwanted and broken jewellery














 became this little pile of adornments, just waiting to be utilised onto a project.















Off to move some ink and paper around my desks.........................

Two posts in one day OMG

Hi

Today was my last day off and after my last blog post I set to finishing a canvass I started a couple of weeks ago.I used Prof Tim's mosaic technique on the wings so going to upload to 12 Tags 2012.  Yes I know it is not a tag, but.................................. I'm just going to.

I really didn't know what to do with this canvass when I part finished it.  Then today I decided to just put a photo of my boy on the canvass,  as today it is 8 months since we lost him and it still hurts like hell.





























The rose has been made using Hels techniques and I am might proud I finally finished one that didn't end up in the bin.

I used the following:

Ranger black and white Paint Dabber, Dylusions inbetweenies stamp, Dylusions hot pink ink spray, Glossy Accents, TH metal corners  and finally Antiquities Cement embossing powder.

And really finally for today...............                                                    


This canvass is of me snorkelling in the Maldives and has gone up on my Maldives wall.  Oh yes I have a Maldives wall.

I used the following:

Ranger Dabbers in Steam, Pool and Aqua, Wendy Vecchi Art Part square frame, Tissue Tape, Dylusions Around the edge Stamps and a metal heart and wings.

Well that's my creativity over with for the week and I have enjoyed every minute it.

Loving the inks

Hi

I was off work  yesterday and decided it must be time to play with my new little babies................... Guess I did just that !!!!!!!!!









Oh dear and this was after cleaning  my hands with the Ranger scrubbie.

I started making backgrounds to use in future projects. I just love the vibrant colour of Dylusions ink.  Might have to re buy Lemon Zest, Bubblegum Pink as once I started I could not stop.

Halfway through the morning I remembered that one of my guys at work is 18 on Wednesday of this week and I needed a special card for her (lastminute.com as usual). She is so very tiny and very girly and I just knew the stamp I wanted to use............so  out came the Dylusions stamps.  I was having so much fun and the day was running away from me. 






This little masterpiece














                                                                                                        Became this uber masterpiece

Absolutely love it and hope she will too.  I used the following products in my creation

Dylusions spray inks : Bubblegum Pink, Melted Chocolate, Lemon Zest and Sky Blue from Dy's original inks - Altered Originals

Dylusions Stamps: Curious Corrin and Doolally Dorris

Glossy accents, Glue and Seal and Brushed Corduruy distress ink.


At the end of the day I had a quick check of the challenge blogs I follow and found that I can submit the card in Simon says Stamp & show.

Hope you have enjoyed my work.

 As I am off today I am going off to play again...............................
