more TV makes from Imagination Crafts

Hello lovelies - I'm back! I do hope you are well and happy! We are all good - we had a great week with some trips down memory lane (skegness) and lots of fun. Here's a few piccies for you to have a look at:

This was on the beach at Saltfleet where we were staying. Our caravan was in an area with limited signal - I seemed to be able to send texts but that was about it - so sorry that I didn't manage to comment on your posts - it really wasn't happening!

This one was taken at Pleasure Island - it was lots of fun and the kids really enjoyed it - thats all you want really isn't it? There's a few scary rides - Shaun and I went on the boomerang and the hydro max. I wasn't bothered about the first one but the second was amazing - not that I would do it more than once - unlike Shaun!!! Lol! I much prefer the Carosel!

This one is the beach at Cleethorpes - Lucy had a new trapezium kite for her birthday - and this was its first flight. 

We had a great holiday! But its so good to be back! I was lucky enough to learn recently that I was accepted by Oak House Studio to be on their Design team for a 3 month period. I'm looking forward to that experience and bringing you some designs using their products!

I want to show you the other TV makes I did for the late July show on Create and Craft for Imagination Crafts.

I used two 'cake' stencils for this card and sparkle medium plus I brayered sparkle medium onto card to make the background glitter card.

This is another tree that was painted with MDF paint then using red silkies. Once dry I used a 'cake' stencil with stars to add the stars to the tree and also decorated the ornaments using silkies and sparkle medium.

I hope you like these! Normal service resumes tomorrow!

Seasons ATC's

Morning lovelies! Well here I am again - we should be back today - all being well. I hope you haven't minded my scheduled posts - back to normal soon!

I want to show you a set of ATCs i made for a swap on the natter and chatter page over on facebook for That Craft Place. The theme was the 4 seasons. I made 4 ATCs using the faded layers technique by Tim Holtz - each one uses a different colour alcohol ink and a different stencil:

I was rather pleased with these and would like to enter them into the ATC challenge over at AVJ called little-touch-of-tim-atcs. 

I hope to see you again soon and thanks for visiting today!

makes from Clarity Cumbria - August

Morning all! I hope you are fine and well! I have my makes from Clarity Cumbria in August to share with you today. It was a lovely day - Jo Rice is a real star - thanks Jo for a lovely time! Here's what we did:

The gerbera was the class stamp - this is make number one - really pretty.

This is the second make and the first one using the custom stamp pad we made. The butterfly on this one is too light really - I hadn't added enough ink to the stamp pad - the next one is better - I used more ink on stamp pad two.

I did the custom stamp pad for the Gerbera but also used it for the butterfly stamp. Love this one - definitely my favourite.

Now I loved the idea of this one but wasn't very happy with my result - but hey ho - it was good experience!

Big Hugs to you and thanks for dropping by!

GDT post for Foilplay

Morning lovelies! How are you today? I hope you are well and happy! I've got my second GDT piece to share with you for foilplay. This time I have used some of their fine art glitter and double sided adhesive to create the background. I also used their glue pen and foil to foil on the memory box die cuts I cut from centura pearl card.

The stamped sentiment came from a set by inkylicious.

Thats all from me today! Thanks for visiting and I hope to see you again soon!

The sentiment is from another stamp set by Crafty Individuals. 

My ATC is the second in a set of 4 that I have made representing the seasons. I will blog the full set together on Saturday - I'm rather pleased with them!!!! Anyway the additional bits on this ATC are MDF shapes from Imagination Crafts.

Lucy's birthday Card

Morning lovelies! Happy Monday to you! I hope we don't have the usual bank holiday monday weather.

I've got the card I made for my little Lucy's birthday to show you today!

The image is 'gorjuss' - and she's coloured with promarkers - I coloured the cat the same as our cat Mischief and chose the image as Lucy finally learned to swing herself when we were in Germany. The colours are Lucy's favourites! She loved it so thats all that matters really!

Thats all for today - thanks for dropping by!

Big hugs
