Thankyou for stopping by to take a look I realy appreciate you calling.

Lucky me

Just wanted to show you all  what came to  my letterbox today, well   my lovely Meggy always lets me know the post is coming, she barks till I open the door. This time  I  saw my postman  gazing at the envelope,He seemed loath to pass it over. Have you guessed what it is yet?

A mail Art envelope full to the seams with goodies that I won in Valeries  blog give away.

So first of all a huge ' Thankyou'  Valerie  I love every fantastic   piece of your amazing  art creations ,that  you sent me in the envelope.   I know I will enjoy using all the goodies you added as well.  Look at what  I found inside.

 

So, now you can see how lucky I felt. 

Book cover

This  is Altered Art week again  at Try it on Tuesdays we are asking you to use 'Materials'
Pop over for all the details and see what my fellow teamies have been altering, including an amazing piece by our young guest designer.
This piece is a cover for a notebook,  the handy pad that you keep to jot down notes to self, must buy next time at the supermarket, phone messages  etc.  Mine always ends up in the craftroom, under a pile of papers and only surfaces when I feel  the need to do a tidy up.
It is all layers of various materials apart from the stamped flower.

Thankyou for stopping by to take a look, I realy appreciate your comments.

Coffee and Cream

Challenge 7 over at  Fashionable Stamping Challenges  and we have a  delicious colour palate for our theme this time.' Coffee and Cream'. The fashionnettes have once again  some fabulous examples to show you, so please pop over to take a look and get all the details.
My main image is a Bo Bunny stamp, which I stamped up using a Coffee Archival ink pad.
 Vintage photo distress ink was used to get the coffee colour shading. The dark layers and swirls are a dark chocolate colour. The flower is a MarianeD poinsettia dye cut.
 Well , I  hope I will be forgiven for adding chocolate, but I do like some chocolate  sprinkles on my cup of coffee, especially if there is a layer of thick frothy cream as well.

Challenges that this card may fit are-
WinterWonderland- Vintage Christmas

The Raven

Well this is my last few days in caravanland for this year, so its  back home soon  to catch up with all the chores  etc. etc. etc. All well down the list of course as my craftroom is calling after having only a few boxes of stuff and a small table to work on.

The latest Gingersnap Creations  GS 123  Random Redhead Challenge is to include Ravens in the piece. I am so pleased I packed some Halloween stuff and downloaded a few things from the computer before we came away, about a certain Mr E.A. Poe.
Now how spooky is this I printed off Edgar Allen Poe's 'Raven' poem.
This is a page from my play journal, the backgrounds are usually already coloured etc when I blot stamps and wipe off distress ink pads.
The stamps are by Indigo Blu and Chocolate Baroque.

Clockwork Birds

An 'Anything Goes' week over Try it on Tuesdays but our theme is  Taking to the Skies. So let your imagination fly.
Well,  as you can see, I have been thinking outside the box for this tag.
The stamps I used were  Paper Artsy, the colouring tea dye and  tumbled glass distress inks, adding  a couple of additions from my stash.

All Hallows Eve

This  started out as a plain perspex coaster,  so when I read that the new Challenge over at
 Gingersnap Creations was to use Alcohol Inks. I just  had  to give it a make-over.
GC 122  Supply Challenge.
The two inks I used for colouring were, Stream and Wild plum.
The stamps  are by Indigo Blu and Chocolate Baroque.
It was a bit hard to get a reasonable photo, because of the reflections.
