Another mosaic card

Was asked to make a few guinea pig "thank you" cards. This is one I made playing with mosaics again, but just with paper and diferent shapes this time. Sorry my photos are so bad, but if you click on the photo you get a better view.

What not to do with shrink plastic !!

Just thought I would show you why you don`t put alot of colour onto shrink plastic....I got carried away playing with my alcohol inks on shrink plastic and knew I had put too much colour on so when it was shrunk down it turned out black !! I have been playing with mosaics and decided to try with shrink plastic, just simple 2" squares. After putting TOO much ink on a sheet of plastic I then stamped in white flowers and cut it into 2" squares and shrunk.Made an anniversary card for a friend in the end with the squares.

Sod of a week !!

This had been a sod of a week for me......I`ve always said that the weather doesn`t effect my arthritis, but either it has or I have slipped down that slippery road !! I have stuggled with everything and anything this week. So glad I had a quiet week work wise !! I can`t stand, sit or lay for long, but it hasn`t completely stopped me crafting !! Have managed to finish a few projects, lots of photo`s to look at !!

First an accordion book we made at AMOM Stash Busters Day a couple of weeks ago. I should have called it my "Smiley Book" not "Friends", but I did the cover before I took all these lovely photos of my crafting friends !! There is a blank page for two more friends, but haven`t taken their photo`s yet.The two circles sticking above the book are pull out tags which I will find some nice poems to put on.

Then a LO of my mum done at a class at AMOM and then I made a card from the leftover bits from LO.

Lastly a crafting friend called Linda thought it was a good idea to save her old Miffy tissue box because I might like to make something with it. It only had a few Miffys and pink flowers on it, but this is what I made. Thanks Linda !!

My Birthday !!!!!

Yesterday was my Birthday !! Had a lovely day at AMOM. Made these cards in class using Hero Art stamps. In the afternoon was a heritage LO which I didn`t do, but just played. The only thing which spoilt it was the HEAT !! BOy it was soooooo HOT in the craft room !!













Used the flower stamp later to make these easel thank you cards.



















Tracey doesn`t do "MESSY", but went for it yesterday in the afternoon !! It was a heritage LO with a lovely inked tag and flower. Well done Tracey and your nails were still white at the end of it !!

National Scrapbooking Day !!

Christina`s mirror top, my mirror on left (pink) and Jenny`s and Rach`s on right.













National Scrapbooking Day was celabrated at AMOM with a class to make an altered art mirror. Loads of different techniques were used to produce small tiles to decorate the mirror. We had a page from a dictionary to use on some of the tiles and I got an "F" page with "fart" at the bottom and me being me had to put it on my mirror !!

Great fun was had by all today. Sue who came, has her mirror on her blog if you would like to have a look. " This Is My World " link in side bar. Sue also has some blog candy you can win

Christina`s altered art mirror made at a class with Tim Holtz which are our class was based on.

Flower making
