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!

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???

I think we all know someone like him! Ha ha !!!

He is so lovely to colour!!  And I think the sentiment says it all!!!!

using a Memory Box die.
