It is a week of RAK's (and I have loved it).......

Hiya

Wow were did that week go and it is flippin snowing again.

I joined a give-away on Facebook at the beginning of the month where the first five people who posted would received a crafty pressie from me. So now everyone has received their gifts finally  I can  now reveal what I actually sent the all.  Well four of the five Hels will get hers in Feb, hope she has a sense of humour LOL.

I have seriously loved sending RAKs and I would say to anyone out there just do it, it is a great feeling.............

Jackie and Nikki each had one of my Mousetrap note holders

  Mhairi had a wee Art part

Heidi received a girly frame

My giving just kept going as a lady who I have just started working with was having a raffle for an organisation she is involved with and I gave her.................

A canvas girly thingy

3 little cute Valentines bags

I hope that there is something from the above that you have found interesting. I am hoping to get in a few hours crafting over the weekend, I hope you do too.  Thank you for dropping by Tuck Towers, until the next time.x

Hearts & Flowers ( oh and a little bird)

Hiya

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!

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.....

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!!!!!!!!!

 So what have I been up too........

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.

Gotta love Tim's stamps 3 different sets to complete this patchwork

I love how you can see the rock candy crackle paint on this photo.

How cute is that little bird

Thank you for stopping by , see you next time.

Obsession (and I do not mean Calvin Klein)

Hiya

I am truly obsessed with Paper-blocking to the point of it is my first thought when starting a project............need therapy for sure.

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.

So without further ado here we go..............

Flowers sprayed in a mix of worn Lipstick re-inker and Perfect Pearl mist 

I am going to enter this one into a couple of challenges CC101 & Sunday Stamper.

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.

Thank you for stopping by to visit Tuck Towers, I really do appreciate your support.
