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:

 End result with very poor 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 :-)
