All Heart.....

This week at the Sunday Stampers Challenge, the lovely Hels has challenged us to incorporate HEARTS into our art work.  This gave me the chance to test out a stamp I bought last year at the craft show in October.......sadly I never even took it out of the packet until today!!  Anyhoo a tag is my substrate & my faithful distress inks, some Tim Holtz tissue tape & chit chat stickers, a bit of doodling and there you have it!!  I hope you like it as I was really quite happy with it myself and thoroughly enjoyed playing.........so good to be crafting again.

Have a lovely weekend everyone, take care & as always....Happy Crafting!!!

Bind It All Book number 2

This book was made using the Huge Funky Word Book cd and the book spells out DJHD, which stands for DJ - Howard Donald (from Take That).
I made this book for my friend Yvonnes Birthday, she's as mad about Howard as I am about Jason :-)), and it was also a souvenir of her visit to Glasgow where we met up with a few of other TT fans who had travelled up from England to see Howard DJ at Byblos club in Glasgow. As you can see I got a bit more adventurous with my embellies and added in some more detail inside too. As well as adding in some piccies, I outlined all the letters with a gold krylon pen to add a bit more definition to the letters, some little charms etc and I know Yvonne was delighted with it - job done!! You can see from the photo on the left
we got right up front & got some pretty good piccies of Howard mixing the disc & causing a stir
on the dance floor :-))
The piccy below is of all us mad "Thatters" having a drink in the pub before going to the club.........a bit of 'dutch courage' in my case, as it's years since I last went clubbing - ha ha!!!!

Bind It All Book

This is a book a made some time ago for my mum, it was really my first attempt with my BIA and I used the Funky Daze cd for the lettering & papers. Inside I made a little poem about how I feel for my mum & added some piccies of myself, Jamie and my mum & dad together. She was really delighted with it and since then I've made a few more with added details................and I just love my BIA - took me long enough to get around to using it.

Thinking Of You

I made this card for a friend who is recovering from surgery & is now on the mend - I hope!!
I got some new punches recently, one of which is a Fiskars Threading punch, so this was the perfect opportunity for me to have a play with it! I used a square card, then mounted DCWV rik-rak card onto it, then my next mat was with my new punch , added some grosgrain ribbon & my final stamped image - which is a stamp I got just recently too. Hope you like this - thanks for looking!!
