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.....

More Colouring Techniques!!

Hi everyone,

Sorry, meant to post this earlier!!!

Today on The Craft Barn Blog I have a project using Paper-Soft-Color.

Many of you will remember me demoing this and it is a truly lovely

 product to work with.

It is used with sponge applicators and many find it easier than using inks.

I made a card for todays project and if you hop on over to the blog

you will see how I made it!!!

Hope you have a good weekend, is it going to stay dry?????

I doubt it!!!!

See you soon,

Almost forgot..............

You really must pop over to The Craft Barn website and take a look

 at their summer sale.....

There are lots of goodies to entice you!!!!!!

Have fun!

A Kanban lady for you!!

I have been busy doing projects for The Craft Barn extravaganza which is at the end of June/beginning of July.  As I have to pace myself I thought I would get making a little while ago.  I am having  a great time playing with my Copics !!

                               So I thought I would share this lady with you today

She is one of the Kanban 'Moulin Divas - Tres Chic' girls.  Really nice to work with!!

I've coloured her with Copics and added some diecut and punched embellishments.

The little roses are die cut and then put together, great with Coredinations or Bazzill to keep everything matching!!

I'm sorry it is in my usual comfort colours but I have some more to show you which definitely aren't!!!!

It is my first time back teaching next week at The Barn, a Copic Masterclass, what else???  Will be nice to get back to a bit of normality!!

I am also taking a class on the Saturday afternoon of the extravaganza, again with Copics if anyone is interested.  I think there are a few spaces left.

Hope you like her,

Back soon,
