This week on TCB Blog!!!

Hi everyone,

Gosh isn't it warm again???

I'm not a great lover of the heat, what with hot flushes and Tamoxifen, I just

get soooooo warm!!!

Had alovely day in France and Belgium on Monday.

Got the early train through the tunnel at stupid o'clock and got back about 9.30pm.

I was absolutely shattered but it was a nice day out and I got a little sunburnt sitting

the beach.  Wow, their beaches are so big and sandy, the same cold, murky looking

English Channel but hey, you can't have everything!!!!

Anyway, over at TCB Blog, we have all been playing with products from Artemio.

I chose to decorate a wooden box with paints and papers!!

I love working with wooden items!!

So, if you want to see how it was made, then you know where you have to go....

 

Hope you like it.....

Woodware Week !!

Hi folks,

Summer is here at last, YAY!!!!!!

Actually, do i really mean that, I am warm enough with hot flushes

without this heat!!!

Anyway, this week on The Craft Barn Blog we are playing

with Woodware products.

It is my turn to do a step by step and I chose to use the lovely

Huge Happy Birthday stamp, I liked it the very first time I saw it and knew

it would end up coming home with me at some stage!!

I made cards showing two different ways of using it and here they are....

This one uses Copics.....

This one uses papers....

So what do you think???

  If you want to see how they were made, you know where to go!!!

Letters from Home

Helloooo,

It is my turn today on The Craft Barn blog, this week is 'Letters from Home' and we have all been using papier mache letters.  It is amazing how each person on the DT has come up with a different idea for them.  I decided to put mine on a canvas which I can hang in my workroom!! 

It was lots of fun to do and I managed to squeak some Copics in there too!!!!

Anyway, if you pop over there you will see how it was made!!

The materials I used are shown at the end of this post.

So, the Extravaganza is now only a week away and I still have so much I want to do, I am loving the Art Impressions stamps I am using, they are so comical, the pictures and the sentiments.  There are just not enough hours in the day

 at the moment!!

Well, I'm off to do a bit more,
