Sbs Challenge

Sorry for the delay, I did say that I would post this the other day. Had one thing & another going on & forgot all about it.... but here at last is what I made for our very first challenge. As I'm such a Glenda fan I used everything Glenda in this card, apart from the odd word & a feather or to.

I'd like to put forward fab sites, but it's so hard to find anyone that doesn't yet have this award.....help

Another page for my BIA book

This page has a retro feel about it which I really liked, I used fab stamps from both Paper Artsy & RubbaDubbaDoo to make this page along with red & black ink pads & a plain black domino tile stamped & embossed in white. I'm so pleased with the way in turned out.. although I don't feel the camera has made the page look it's best :o(

ATC swaps

I entered into the Graphicus Guild ATC swap last month & these are the 2 swaps I received in return .... I'd like to say a big thank you to Jan Haines & Jacqui Allen for these 2 fab ATC's,
I'd also like to say thank you to Graphicus for arranging the swaps.

Geisha shaker

Made this fat page yesterday. I'd brought a kit that had gel shakers in it in different shapes.... I took a round one & added a stamped image I had of a geisha girl be hide the shaker while the front part was stamped using an oriental stamp inked in red, then I cut a round aperture to fit the shaker & added 2 gold fan embellishments just to finish it of, I then stuck it to mount board for strength.

Canvas project

After seeing someone selling 6"x 6" canvases on an auction site I decided to buy them & have a bash at doing some wall art... they arrived a few days later but I wasn't sure once I'd got them quite what to put on the first one, so it hung around for a week before I picked up a brush & painted the background. (the first picture is all the thing I used)



I then went on the hunt around my craft room looking for things that would make a great pic & remembered I just brought a pack of chipboard shapes that had paisley shapes in them, which I love at the moment & they made there way on to the dried paint after I'd decorated them in the colours I liked.

A bit about me before I forget

Hi to everyone in the sisterhood, I'm Jenny 38 years old, have lived with my partner David for 21 years & have been his carer for 17 of them, after a RTA left him paralysed. Have no children but 3 fab dogs, been into card making for about 12 years, which has led to me crafting more than just cards, with rubber stamping being my biggerst love & was the first crafty thing I ever done.

Sisterhood of the Blogging Stampers

I hope I've done things right & that I'll soon to be part of the sisterhood - 20. Just need to go visit everyone now, lol
