It's a creative world

And I'm part of it!! How cool is that? A new group of creative types are joining some of the original team to keep you inspired on lots of creative levels. I'm really proud to have been invited and hope I can do as great a job as they have done previously. So now I need to go and admire all the blogs listed there for my new teamies. Fancy following me- it's right here!

Little Miss Messy

A recent page of mine- but old photo's that have ever been used. I couldn't resist trying to get some of the mass on her onto the page! I've smeared acrylic paint onto the acetate from behind. Had a bit of fun with the title- I found the text in a magazine, so using the tubes of stuff for creating outlines on glass painting, I made an overlay o the acetate. Just seemed perfect for the pictures!

grave work

Unreal! One day it's September and then all of a sudden it's mid October and I'm making card coffins! My most spectacular invite yet! A scroll wrapped round a severed fingered and delivered in a coffin! Perfect for a gruesome pile of 7/8 year olds! have gone back to a hallowee themed 8th birthday for Andrew- a tour of terror followed by a frightful feast and being scared shrekless( dvd!) Will have to share some photo's!!

Covert operations

Hi there! I have vowed to make today a crafty day( well morning really- dishes must be done!)I have been doing lots of scrapping- but I'm entering some of them in competitions so can't show them.It's probably a bit sad of me to enter stuff but it's not so much thinking i have a chance of winning that makes me try, more the element of here's something to do it for. I like somthing saying to me "scrap!". The plus side is I do more than I need to so it does get me in the mood to keep doing it. I know I should be just doing it for me really but that's the way I am. in the meantime i did something for a friend. A sympathy card unfortunately. Not someone close to her but always sad. i used my paper clay leaves- which makes me think i'll do some more soon as they do look rather sweet! Thanks for dropping by- catch you soon! xx

it wasn't pretty

...by any stretch of the imagination!I am of course talking about our garage- a yukky old asbestos thing that had a tree fall and damage the roof. I was gutted about the tree- a beautiful lilac- but at least we were able to replace the garage with a lovely shiny new one!As pictured! It arrived on the very last day of Dave's hols as he went back for inset days- but already he has started preparing the floor and partition wall. He has also brought home a massive filing cabinet and shelves. the filing cabinet is an ugly beast but holds masses- so that will be one of my challenges, make it purty! watch this space!!

Did I ever show you this one?

I am beavering away making new pages but haven't got round to uploading new stuff- but this is a really old one that somehow doesn't look to dated- so that's my contribution to the blogging world.The title was made from scoubidous and acrylic paint to make a spaghetti effect! On the plus side- the garage has been built! so my crafting space is one step closer!! Watch this space! TFL x

This was another submission page which I actually did stepped instructions for. Haven't posted them but the flowers were made from polymer clay if you fancy trying something similar. this should be my last scheduled post- so next one means I home, ready and waiting for the new garage( and my half as the new crafting space!! Don't expect glamour like most peoples- I'm sure mine will be very rough around the edges!!)

Another old beach scene

Again from 2009- this was weymouth. I'm hoping to get some decent pic to do a few more beachy bits!
