Hobby House perpetual calendar...

Morning All,

I hope today finds you happy, healthy and having a good day.

 

Just a quick post to show you one of my makes from The Hobby House love spring collection.

 

I'm loving their kits at the moment, the papers are just lush and the quality is fab to work with.

 

 

This is another post that I started but didn't quite finish ( as you can see from the date in the pic ).  I am in between going back and forth to visit my Dad who is unfortunately very poorly at the moment.

 

All the products I used are from Hobby House apart from a Martha Stewart fern punch and a Spellbinders lacy circle die.

 

 

 

Thanks for looking and enjoy your day.

AquaTints.....

Morning Crafters,

Today is another one of my posts that didn't publish.  It was a card I made while just having a "play day" you know, one of those days where you have nothing in mind and no occasion  to craft for, just pure time losing fun...

I was having a play with some of the Spectrum Noir AquaTints in Beautifully grunge.

I first painted the AquaTints on basic white cardstock, spritzed with a little water and while still wet, sprinkled on some coarse sea salt.  (I left it to dry naturally).

I painted half a dozen of these in different colours and directions, (some just splodged on randomly) all at the same time so I will always have a background to hand. It's amazing how no two backgrounds look alike.

I then just stamped with some Sheena Douglass stamps (I think I have nearly every one !!!)
She is such a talented lady and her stamps are amazing.

Lastly a little bit of  Indigo-Blu Mega flakes (can't remember which colour, sorry) as I felt it needed a little something but glitter didn't seem to fit.

Have a great day
Hugs Karen

Fathers Day

Hi folks,

There seems to have been a few issues lately with trying to upload some of my posts so here is a card I made which was originally posted on 27th Feb.

Its a lovely little image from LOTV which I used to make my dad his Fathers Day card.

 

 

 

 The newspaper background is Bazzill Basics paper (Antique dictionary page) which you can find here  and the papers are both from MME 6x6 paper pads, Indie chic-saffron and Lost & Found-Portobello Road

Dad stickers are from American crafts, Studio Calicos classic calico collection, cardstock stickers.

All other bits and bobs are from my craft stash.

Hope you all have a great day.

Hugs Karen

Happy crafty New Year

Hi crafters,

Well I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and a joyful New Year.   I know its a little late but I just wanted to post a picture of the cards I made for the festive season.
What started out as a good idea (or so I thought) turned into quite a labour of love in the end !!!

Anyway I hope you are all sticking to your resolutions if you made any...mine is to hopefully try more mixed media projects this year.  I have quite a few in mind which I want to attempt so I have stocked up on all the usual suspects so here's to a crafty 2015 :-)

Thanks for stopping by
Karen
