A long time coming.

Hiya

Been mia for a while.  Not been feeling up to sharing the love lately. Due to many things of which I will not bore you with as this is a crafting blog not a moaning blog.

 I have been making a bit of this and a bit of that when I have been feeling up to it and now I am going to share with you all............... LOL.

This little master piece was for a challenge for the Facebook group that I belong to following completing Tim Holtz CC101 workshop.  The challenge was to use any of the colours from Tim's seasonal distress palette.  I chose the Summer release as I love the colours.  But me being me had to combine a touch of Dylusions, okay a lot of Dylusions.........

Following on from my mousetrap piece of art I just had to up the ante and create a rat trap piece of art.  Colour are distress with a touch of paint dabber and various little bits and pieces that were added along the way.

This card was  inspired by watching Finnabair on a live stream she did a couple of weeks back for Prima.  Really nothing like her work or as good but after watching I just had to pile some bits and bobs together and create something i was so hyped.  If you have never seen her work click the link below NOW, she is totally amazing .http://tworzysko.blogspot.co.uk/ .

These little babies have been made over several weeks of my being off work.

 Top two are using Tim's Spring Seasonal distress colours, a Wendy Vecchi stamp to create the flower, a touch of ideaology, tissue tape and a couple Tim stamps and sorted.

The next two are using Ranger glossy card stock and Alcohol inks, love how the backgrounds turn out.A couple of Tim's die cuts, touch of ideology, job done. ( I was in my less is more mood when I did these).

.  

I hope you enjoyed these little creations.  I would love you to leave a wee comment as I love to know what others think of my work.

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.
