A Little Circus Atc.

I've finally got to use my Tim Hotlz Circus Stamp again, this is it's second outing, lol. A perfect stamp to use for the theme over at  http://outofahatcreations.blogspot.co.uk/  

For the background of my Atc I used some sequin waste and dabbed Broken China and Mahogany distress inks all over the atc. then  used my stamp,which is the perfect size for the atcs. The ticket stamp comes from a circus set by Artistic Outpost, so I stamped that on some card I'd coloured with Mahogany distress ink.

Vintage Leading Ladies

Just a quick post to show you some Atcs that I've made today.They are for a swap and I've made 10, lol. The theme is Vintage Leading Ladies. The top row is Ingrid Bergman, the stamps were from my Casablanca set, I've added a layer for Ingrid's picture and stamp above that and coloured it for more interest. The next one is the very gorgeous Marlene Deitricht. Her image I've had for such a long time and I kept it in a folder for future use.The bottom row has Marlene again and finally the fabulous Betty Grable  in her famous pose. This is a stamped image of Betty and I have used it alongside the beach hut stamps from my stash.

"Tag it" Altered CD

Go Me...lol...this is my 2nd post today.Honestly I do tend to go from one extreme to the other,lol.
This is an altered CD I've done using those fabby Graphic45 papers. I've made this for my entry for the challenge over at  http://eclecticellapu.blogspot.co.uk/. The theme is "Tag It" so for my Tag I've used the original one from the papers,stiffened it by gluing it on to some card and added an  eyelet. To finish the tag used a Tim Holtz link chain and an old key.

A Smaller Peg!

Well,this size peg is quite a fiddly thing to alter, unlike my big pegs. I've been slacking recently in entering some of the blog challenges,so I had a  browse through my list and decided on the challenge over at http://outofahatcreations.blogspot.co.uk/ The theme for their challenge was to alter a peg or paper clip. I opted for the peg,mainly because it is a little larger than a paper clip and easier for me to use given that I've got quite big hands,lol
Time for lunch,then I'll be off to craft for the afternoon....

My Monochrome Peg

It's that time again...a challenge over at  http://rheddandrosies.blogspot.co.uk/   This is the 4th Challenge and the theme is Monochrome. This is my DT make,which is an altered peg. Each label has been made using stamps from an advertising plate from Tanda Stamps.

The challenge is sponsored by Lisa Horton from "That Craft Place" and she is offering a lovely prize.

Lisa also did a Guest Design Spot and you can see the lovely card she made over at Rhedd & Rosies.

Guest Designer Spot

I was over the moon when I received an email from Eileen over at "Show Us Your Twinchies" asking me if I would do a guest spot on the blog. It's been a very long time since I was a guest designer on any blog, so I feel rather privileged to have been asked. 

I made 3 Twinchies for the April Theme which is "Spring"....I do so love these little pieces of art. Please do pop along to   http://twinchie-twinchiehotmaillive.blogspot.co.uk/ and have a look at all the design team entries,they are stunning...maybe you would like to take part in the challenge as well.

A "Spring" Atc

This is an Atc that I made for a challenge,the theme was "Spring" So I rooted through some of my many stamps and while doing so remembered this one that I had as a freebie from Paperartsy last year.

I think its such a fabulous stamp and the perfect size for an atc. Love the vintage postage stamp,which I stamped on a different colour background, then added. The words were cut from an old nature book that came from a charity shop, well I'm not cutting up any of my own books,lol.

"Green" Altered CD

It's time I bought my blog up to date with a few things I've been making. This is an altered cd I made for a group swap, the theme was to use green,so I decided to use my new Grahic45 papers. The papers are stunning and the tabs are gorgeous.I added some lace and  then cut out 2 of the sunflowers that I layered and added to finish the piece off....I didn't win the challenge though...sob...lol.
