This is my grungepaper cuff. I distressed it, adding black stayzon stamped flourishes and added some grungeboard precut wings and heart which Ionce again distressed and added a little homemade distressed stickles (i apply the glitter rubbing it in with my finger, then wet my finger tip, to be honest I find a bit of spit is best as its not too wet, yuck I know, but ot works!! and rub it over to randomly remove some)

must stop buying.....stuff
They stock amazing lady art moulds, these are a couple that I bought made up with friendly plastic, the one on the left is a stylized kiwi leaf, as I have family in New Zealand I thought this would be perfect on their cards and scrap pages, and the key hole for some steam punk makes.
I also met Lucy from 'true colours' blog (see blog list to the right) who has some amazing items on her blog, I recommend you stop by some time.
I have been making lots of cards, and have also made a rangers memory glass necklace and grungepaper wrist band..but I need to download the photos of them.....so here are a few cards I have been making.
These are 2 great stamps from the stamp bug which I hand coloured and inked with some distressed inksThe bottle and glass are black peel-offs I stuck on coloured paper scraps and hand coloured
and this card is distressed with inks again (loving the distressed inks).
I was also lucky enough to visit my brother in London for the Tate moderns 10th anniversary, a great show and the shop is SO good. I bought a book of 1000 altered and reclyed projects....so much inspiration, thank goodness we have a bank holiday coming up (a whole day of crafting with any luck!).
Any way, happy crafting

ooh been a bit naughty
The nice weather has made it a little hard to craft, and the past couple of weeks has seen me feeling a little better, thanks to the drugs! So, I managed to take advantage of the light evenings and clear the garden up and plant some veggies also, the flowers are starting to look lovely
So, the sun is shining and with determination that I will NOT put on weight with the steroids I had to take for some weeks I am trying my hardest to eat healthy. We are both veggie, so that's a good start, but I am now nibbling on carrots and drinking what my OH believes is made directly by the devil himself.........homemade beetroot, ginger and carrot juice!
I think it tastes great, he doesn't (he is wrong!)-but remember later in the day that you have had beetroot, or you may be in for a shock!!
So, finally I have managed to get around to a bit of crafting:
this card uses an vintage map from a latin book and rock star crackle glaze over distressed ink...loving it.Anyway, best go and play with new toys..........
Happy crafting
