Took my 3rd online class... Which I have to say are a great idea, especially for those that for one reason or another can't get to workshops,  this one being my second with the wonderful Tim Holtz  & his Chemistry 102... What a fun filled week it was, I've learnt a lot too. These are what I chose to do... turned out pretty well.... I think :/ lol

Tissue anyone?

I don't often post anymore, due to the fact I've been doing loads of other great stuff, called nothing.
End of last year I took myself off to the BSSBS East Midland show... Great people there btw with lots to tempt me, the naughty people. I brought from one stall called the MDF MAN, wow his stuff is build to last & boy what can't you throw at these pieces. It really will take anything, no stroppy flopping after a heavy paint session, or sinkin from all the bling, yep sure to say I love these items & here to prove it are a cog clock & a tissue box that sits proudly in my living room :)... enjoy.

 The cog clock.... in case you didn't know Hee hee

A selection of time

Just time to put up a post of some art work about time as it happens that I've done over the last few weeks. All have had the Spellbinders treatment on them in one way or the other. I am at the moment in love with the cog set that they brought out & find myself using it quite a bit... ok A LOT.
The framed piece in the bottom pic was made for my other halfs computer room,  well it's meant to be his but I share it too... my craft room just aint big enough to house a computer & me craft stash. Well time to go.. sorry must stop with the time thing, lol, anyways thanks for lookin n until the next post :)

Update

I've now added a banner, which reads 'always ready for use' which I think is very important when crafting... always need your tools ready for action at a moments notice :) coloured up & glued on more stars, then added a stamped image of a paint brush using Clearly For Art modelling film, I'd never used this stuff before but after seeing it demoed, I just had to have a go.. it's great.

Any way still thought the bottom right needed something, it looked a bit bare, so found some cardboard chip letters knocking about & decided that inked & stamped they would go well with the whole 'inks live here' & you so can't deny that now, lol.

Progress report

Have started to add a little deco to the front... as this is going to get used, sometimes a lot, not sure if putting to much on will be a bad idea. (things getting in the way if you know what I mean) I guess it doesn't have to be finished in one go, think maybe adding to it as I go may have a better outcome, a rushed project sometimes never turns out how you'd like... just gunna see. For now this is what I've done, & thanks for dropping by :)

Storage up date

Dropped in to give a progress report on how it's all going, you'll see by the pics I managed to get it all painted up, yay.. just need it to dry now :) I also colourised the sticker names n got them on all of the ink I have... shhh do let on but I've brought 3 more Distress ink pads... well I did need them.

Distress Ink storage

Finally took delivery of my storage box for the Distress ink pads, very lovely it is too & may I also add well made by a very talented man called Rod. It's just now in need of a full make over, which I hope will happen over the next week.. or 2. Need first to go get some paint, thinkin along the lines of grunge type look, after all Distress ink aren't gunna wanna live in anything else really :D mmm might do some stamping too,I do love to stamp ya know. Well here it is all new & bare... really should've put a censore over it, tee hee.

A rare thing

Don't craft like I use to, but here are two very rare examples I made this week. My insperations came from the brilliant Sue Wilson & Barbara gray... So a big thank you to them both for the help, even if it was only via the TV xx

Brayer, ink & a bit Of Tim.

I've had some great fun getting very inked up using items from the Tim Holtz TSV kit, making what at the moment I guess you can call it ATC, but I never intended for it to be one. Still undecided whether to make a card with it or leave it as is. The favourite part of this piece for me is the frame, which I used distress inks, applied sepia accents then taking a paint brush tapped in to the still wet accents gold mica powder. Oh BTW I first used my nesties to get the frame :)
The other 3 cards have all been made using techniques used by the fab Barbara Gray.... Don't know if crafters should love all their creations or have favourites, but my fav from these 3 has to be the wilderness one which I made before Christmas, decided I wanted to put it up here & show it off, lol.

OMG I've a blog, lol

Not to good at keeping up to date with this blogging thing.... wish I was.. well never mind I'm here now even if it's only with a few pics. I've not been doing much of the craft thing either sadly, what with one thing & another & doing a dog grooming course, which btw I passed, yeah.
I've still happily found the time to watch a few of my fav craft hours on the telly featuring Sheena, Barbara & Tim, as always I'm left wanting all I've seen, lol.
Here are my efforts on some of the projects they done.

BOO

Opps sorry, did I scare ya, lol

A couple of spooky cards that I made for Halloween..... well the bottom one isn't a card at the moment, not sure yet if I'm going to make it into a wall art & hang it in me craft room.

Let's eat cake

Here's one I baked earlier, lol. Have really enjoyed making these 'quickish' cards, has help me back into crafting, but I couldn't just pop & stick.. oh no I had to add just that bit extra in the form of liquid pearl & glitter :)

it's to long

Ok I know, I’ve been missing in action for quite some time now, but good news, not only have I surfaced I also bring you my latest work….what’s that I hear you cry, ‘about time’ lol, well hope you like them & thanks for dropping by xx =)

Big bling

Here are some more big bling cards I made over the last week..... You might need shades on before you look, lol.
My fave is the green one, but that might have something to do with the fact it has some stamping going on in it :-)
