Home Decor

I was being creative in the bedroom. No not like that. I brought a wall poster and created a doorway into another world. Quite proud of it.

Using a background of a very familiar scene if you live locally (Beech Walk) in Windlesham. I made this gift for a book lover last year. Just to explain I used my inking pads, die cuts, some puzzle pieces and greyboard letters from CraftWorks. On the inside I used striped background paper and more inks , an Alice in Wonderland stamp, made some bookmarks and a Waterfall card on the left. Each flap has a famous quote from books or authors. On the right; miniature card pack, a scroll which has on it a list of classics and below is a little pocket for anything extra such as a gift card. Hope you like it.

Fun, Sticky Fingers and wonky edges

Hi Everyone,

Let me introduce my self my name is Karen and I am in the process of starting up an idea.

As the heading suggests the aim is to have fun while doing your choice of craft. Full of hints, tips mishaps and the occasional works of art that we can oooh! and aahh! at. It will be aimed at from the very young (so keep it clean) to the very mature of us. From the pre beginner (if there is such a word) and the more talented of us.  So hopefully, through this we can make lots of friends. On a more serious note there will be those of us who live alone or in circumstances that make it difficult for people to get out and about. Hopefully we can all inject a little light into each other's lives.

Mixed Media

I have neglected my blog for some time and have had little response so far. If there any suggestions out there for a novice like me it would be much appreciated. In the mean time I have created a mixed media picture using the glass as well.

EVERYONE WELCOME!

Well it is still a bit quiet here with not a lot of response but I  live in hope that someone in my local community loves to create and make things. In the mean time here is another crafty make which took me some time to make and it was for a very special person and her 90th Birthday tomorrow). Using background paper for the picture and Paper Toile flower fairy for the main image. Die cuts of the numbers etc over another background paper. The lower card A4 is using Hunky Dory cardstock and embellishments. Plus, (although you cannot see very well) it has a printed acetate on the front for half the card.

CHOCOLATE HEAVEN!

Hi
If you ever get the chance you get to use any of Chocolate Baroque stamps. They are dream to work with. Here I used a tulip stamp and masked off areas by stamping the same again on another piece of card and then cut around the flowers to create a mask. It helps if you have a stamping tool which enables you to stamp the same image again and again with perfect results (almost - it's a working progress with me). Nevertheless it was great fun which surely is the point.
