Whats the buzz tell me whats a happening

October 1972 Jesus Christ Superstar was first performed. The craft barn asked for a bright calendar and thought of the Superstar logo and having just seen the production it was a must!!!

          This is my calender with a page from the programme to show the logo I was referring too.

I added some bronze stamped wings to represent the old logo together with a crucifix charm for a bit of bling.

I also added lyrics from my favourite song from the show.

The Craft Barn calendar competition

The Craft Barn calendar competition

For my first page I made a comedy and tradegy page for January. The challenge was to incorporate vellum.

As you can see I have used vellum for the stage underneath the curtains. Under the vellum I used peel off star stickers so they had a dull effect to them whilst using the same peel offs on the curtains.

I'm hoping to base all of my calendar on musicals so I've just made the challenge even harder I think ha ha x

I'll add some clearer pictures soon but I've run out of time for this evening and it's a bit dark x



Comments appreciated...

Still here

Well it's been a few weeks since I last blogged.

I've been a busy bee at work and at home and haven't had much time for crafting :-(

I'm going to get straight back on it this evening whilst watching x-factor :-)

During the past two weeks I did have chance to make a necklace and bracelet set for a friend for her holidays. Would love to know what you think...

Work in progress with good lighting:

Shine

On Saturday I completed the Manchester Shine by walking 26.2 miles and let me tell you I'm paying for it now.

If you would like to donate to Cancer Research I would be most grateful www.justgiving.com/shine26mile

Dont Waste Dreams

I have always been interested in music and musicals but never had the confidence to pursue this. When I saw the mind over matter stamp at The Craft Barn on their recent porject I knew I had to get this stamp and relate it to confidence and my music ambition.

For this page I used PaperArtsy Fresco Finish paints: Autumn fire mixed with a little red & Inky Pool in misters. I used the follow your heart stamp and cut the heart from it adding peel off music related stickers for the centre. The treble clef design was made using peel offs which I chalked over and then peeled the sticker away.

This is the first art journal page I have made.

New stamp

Im loving my new stamp - it is waiting to find its way on a card along with the blue version Ive been colouring :-)

More shopping....

Well thanks to blog sites I have managed to grab some real bargains this weekend...I told you these sites we're addictive. I managed to buy some goodies ready for the Artsypaper challenge this week on The craft barn.

I'm really looking forward to this challenge I've not done anything like an art journal page since I left school (long long time ago ha ha)

I'm going to try and get some more crafting done this evening but it's back to work for me tomorrow...

Here are some of this evening's makes I love the fact that my crafting mojo is returning - it's been so long since I've been able to get stuck in!

Addictive!

I have come to the conclusion that blog sites are addictive! I have found myself logging on and off alllllll day my mind is spinnging with ideas and I need to finally log off and find my way to my craft room!...See you soon x

Crafting Challenge

I'm back....thanks to the Craft Barn

I do not even remember setting this account up if I'm perfectly truthful but whilst looking to purchase some new stamps I stumbled across the fantastic website of the craft barn and wanted to join their challenge and I needed a blog to do so, when I realised I needed a blog I found that hey presto I already had one that I can't remember opening...

The challenge...

So the challenge is to use a colouring technique which the Craft Barn have recently blogged about. I decided to go with the Paper-soft technique as I have never used mine!

Here is the link if you would like a go yourself... http://thecraftbarnblog.blogspot.ca/2012/08/colouring-technique-challenge.html

For the challenge I had a rummage around and found some film/photo cards that I've never used before. Using their white underneath I added yellow pastel to them and inserted a flower in the middle using a brad to secure them.

The paper I used was a grey and black design which I bought for my Birthday in February but could never decide what to use it for. I thought this would match perfectly with this design and using paper soft I changed the look and added it to this flowery yellow design.




Thanks for visiting my blog ;-)
