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........

Little Book of Tags

Over on the Paper Artsy blog this week it was Carol's turn again to wow us with her projects..One of them was a gorgeous tag book with tags to go inside. You can pop over and see how she did it here and here...beautiful. I followed Carols instructions on the book and also my first tag as I love that stamp!!

This post will be mainly pictures of what I have done..it is a work in progress as I still have 3 tags to complete...I didn't have the size 10 tags so had to use 8 and adapt the size of the book..

The first tag is more or less the same as Carol's..I loved her lay out and the stamps she used..

 

 The second tag is my favorite so far.

I stamped the image with less ink than usual so that looked old and worn.

                     And here is the little book they will all live in...

                                                   The Front

                                                The Back
                                           

                                                   The Spine

                                                    The inside

I do apologize for the poor pictures of the book but I just couldn't get any really good ones..

I would like to say thank you to Carol for some great projects this week!!

Thanks for stopping by...
