Welcome Clare Lloyd

On Sunday over on the paper artsy blog we welcomed a new GD.Clare Lloyd. Her first project was an altered wooden spool. It was so cute I had to have a go. You can pop over and see it here along with the step by step instructions.

I didn't have the sqiggly ink stamps that Clare used but because the project was so wacky it need some wacky style stamps. I took a selection of A6 plates from paper artsy and stamped a few images onto white card, painted them all with frescos and cut them out. I cut different pieces from different images and played around with different combinations until I was happy. It's a bit..anything goes really..I had a lot of fun with these so ended up making two because I couldn't decide. Other than the images I pretty much followed along with Clare

Here's No 1. I must admit this owl is one of my favorite PA images and I am lucky enough to have it in two sizes

                                                And No 2

Had a great time making these they took my mind off of having to go back to work tomorrow :(

thanks for stopping by........

France Papillon key spool..

  Day two with France over on the Paper Artsy blog and she turned some cotton reel spools into beautiful key chains..and not only that she did a video!! I couldn't wait to have a go so was out in my shed a 7.45 this morning after my big fat tabby cat woke me up demanding breakfast.. Luckily I already had what was needed..but these could get addictive so may need to get some more spools.







I had a lot of fun making this and cannot wait to do some more..this one is going to be for the keys to my shed. I followed France's instructions which you can see here on video..Thank you France for fantastic inspiration!!
