Paris in Springtime

Finally, we are getting a little springtime weather!

For Happy Daze, this week I made an altered coaster.

I'm entering this into the Sunday Stamper this week as the theme is square and aha my coaster is also square!

Hey baby, I'm your Telephone Man

Vintage telephone is the theme this week. Victoria was inspired, in part, by the song Telephone Man. I have to hold my head up and admit... this single playing record was my first ever purchase in the music dept. yes sad I know.
Here's my postcard :-)

Sweet day

for some! It's a bank holiday in the UK today but alas there's no rest for me. I'm about to head off to the twilight zone.

Firstly though, I wanted to show you my 'creation' for Happy Daze. I say creation as I've not decided if it's a card or a hanging yet.

I'm entering it into the PanPastel challenge ~ anything goes; one stitch at a time theme of spring and simonsaysstampandshow ~ anything goes

 and sharing some Easter love

Happy Easter everyone!

Ride on a butterfly

This week's SPA is BUTTERFLIES ~ I've been away this weekend and so I am late posting my postcards.

 really pleased with these.
The prompt on One stitch at a time is to 'use a digi' never sure if this means an actual digital stamp or a digital image. These are digital images from Lisasalteredart but I print mine out to use on handmade backgrounds. So I hope these qualify for the challenge.

Merry UnBirthday to You

Every day is a merry un-birthday.... so I've made one for That's Crafty this week using rubberstamps from The Octopode Factory range and some creative expressions stamps.

on Simon says stamp and Show ~ the prompt is water.... including watercolours ;-) which is a no-brainer for me as I more than usually use watercolour pencils to colour my images in.

Have a very merry un-birthday! unless it IS your birthday then have a merry birthday!

How Now Brown Cow

This week for Happy Daze I've made this 'brown' tag which was inspired by the theme over on Sunday Stamper.... the use of brown in one's work.

Here's my tag for both ;-)

Tuesday Catchup

Wow time flies, I couldn't believe I hadn't blogged at all last week from Sunday to Sunday. I'm always a busy little beaver. But I blame my new phone, it's an android and I'm already addicted to Instagram! lol

Firstly, I'm showing my project for That's Crafty this week.... it's a 3d standalone dressmakers dummy. I'd like to enter this into one stitch at a time ~ anything goes AND Simon says stamp and show ~ chic to be shabby

 This week's Happy Daze project

 It was world book day last week.... these are the books I've read so far this year.

 The tag I made using some new stamps from Sam Poole at Creative Studios

Land of make-believe

This week's theme on SPA is Mushrooms/Toadstools. Carol is our host ~ go check her blog out, wonderful stamping creations!

My traditional collaged postcard is made using Lisas Altered Art images

I'm going to enter these both into the Sunday Stamper too as Hels has chosen the theme of 'oh you pretty things' aaggghhh can't get the song out of my head now! lol
