Starting Something New - Art Journal

 Hi

I’ve been thinking about starting an art journal for quite a while now, but have been putting it off as I wasn’t sure where to start! So when Sandra of Cotswold Crafter blog asked us if we’d like to start a journal, I knew it was time to bite the bullet and give it a go and enjoy experimenting.

I found an MDF album I bought at a craft show a few years ago, and decided to use this so that I can add my own pages of different card stock.

I started by decorating the cover, and although it took me a few days to decide what to do, and the uncertainty of the colour combo I’d chosen, once I put it all together I was really pleased with how it turned out. I particularly like the sentiment, which seems very apt for the project.

I hope you will stick with me and follow me on my art journal journey.

Thank you for stopping by.

New Home

 Hi

My Son and his girlfriend moved into their new home yesterday, so I thought I’d share the card I made for them. 

I’m loving the colour combo, which was taken from the weekly challenge over at Cotswold Crafter’s blog.

The tree lined stamp is from Inkylicious. The house die cut from Mama Elephant. Printed heart paper from The Lovely Studio.

Thanks for stopping by.

A Random Few.

Hi.

I hope you’re keeping well. 

Just a quick post to share a few cards which I’ve made recently, but haven’t had the time to blog! A random few for Birthdays and to add to my card stash.

Thanks for stopping by.

Stay safe.

Hello

Hi

Well, I know I’ve been here before, but after being out of crafting for quite some time - and after longingly staring at my craft stash and willing myself to get back into it - I thought it’s now or never!

I went along to the Create It craft show at Farnborough last weekend, and although I wasn’t there long, I did buy a few things to help me get back into my crafting.

I’ve been making a few new cards which I will share with you soon, but after going through my photos I found a couple, which I made last year, so I thought I’d start by sharing those with you.

The first one is using one of the art pad images and sentiment stamp from Lili Of The Valley. The border stamp is from Inkylicious.

The second one is using stamps and the die from Sugar Pea Designs, and again the border stamp from Inkylicious.

I hope you like them. 

As ever, thanks for stopping by.

Beautiful Butterflies.

Hi. I am sorry I haven't been blogging lately - been so busy and just haven't had the time to share any of my creations!

 I would like to share a couple of quicks cards with you today using the beautiful butterfly die which I have (not sure who its by.) It forms the main element of my cards, layering it upon the Latin Script stamp from Inkylicious and one of the Spellbinders A2 Bracket Borders One dies. The stamped sentiment is from LOTV. The pretty papers are from the Tres Chic collection by Studio Light. 

I hope you like them. Thanks for stopping by today.

Hugs
