LTD Challenge

Oh it's been far too long since I last blogged. Time seems to have increased speed over the past few weeks-what with being away for a week with work and working some silly long hours recently, crafting time, let alone crafting time has been sparse.

This weeks LTD Challenge is friends....well, this card is one I made for my fellow Craft Coven member, Jill, to welcome her to her new home. The bird and cage are chip board shapes that I painted, stamped and glazed with glossy accents, the padlock is made from friendly plastic and I added a wooden heart button in the top left of the card.


My crafting mojo has taken a slight step back, but I picked up my copy of the latest Cloth, Paper, Scissors magazine...so a glass of red wine and a leisurely read through will I am sure bring it all back!

Happy crafting

Vegan and Zombies

This is my Halloween make for the LTD Challenge....egg cosys!



Only in Bristol would you spend a Saturday like this....a few hours at a free Vegan fair. 3 course meal for free, vegan tombola, free talks and films.....followed by the Bristol Zombie Walk! Over 2,000 zombies walking around the city centre ending up at an outdoor impromptu gig (and a couple of beers and some strange looks on the bus home).


Here are a few photos of some of the Zombies....






And the zombies kept coming...






Happy Halloween.

Lots to Do Challenge

Another quick post....I made this for the LTD challenge, my first easel card! I needed a quick card so used peel-offs and I already had some angelina fibres ironed into a sheet so I punched a moon from it for a bit of shimmer, echoing this with some holographic card for matting and layering on the base.

This is my entry for this weeks LTD Challenge. The challenge is plain and simple. I made this for an engagement card for my cousin who has a bird of prey centre, Southwest falconry, nice and neutral with a simple design

WOYWW and LTD Challenge

So, another week of coming clean and showing the state my desk gets into! (its like a perverse sort of voyeurism....hang on, that makes it sound like there are non-peverse sorts.....best not get into this...). So, whats on my workdesk this wednesday?

Well, this is a box my friend gave me to alter. It was a very red stained wooden box, I took its handle off (I'll put that back on later once the painting has been done) and gave it a base coat of white gesso and here I have added a coat of rangers acrylic dabber in Lake Mist.

I was thinking this box would make a good place to store my stash of embroidery threads as its deep enough for the slightly bigger spools. Not sure what else to do with it yet....I'll have another bash at it after supper, probably some distressing, maybe a touch of crackle paint and definatley some stamping!

This card is for the LTD Challenge, this weeks theme is Oriental. Not your usual colour scheme, but I stamped the background distressing the edges. I used a peel off on some leaf patterened paper, adding a stamped sentiment and a lantern embellishment.


Hope you like it....off to blog hop a bit.

LTD Challenge - vintage

This weeks LTD Challenge is vintage.

I know for many it may victoriana etc. but for me, its definately 1940's and 50's-I love the glamour (not that I have the time to look like that) and beautiful clothes-so I decided to make my vintage a 1950 pin-up complete with a shrinkie dink one!

Enjoy have a blog hop around all the others too.

Happy Crafting
