Wreck This Journal part deux

I am finding this journal so compulsive! I even took it on the train with me to Chesterfield yesterday.

I've done a few pages now.

Altered Study Cards

I recently happened upon these Study Cards, that I had bought a while ago in my local stationers. They had been buried under many mounds of stash! 

If you would like to see just how my first little card turned out... head over to thatsbloggingcrafty 
I'm hoping to make many more of these soon. I do love the size.

Butterflies

the theme on Sunday Stampers this week is 'pockets' hmmm... i decided to make a tag which held an ATC. I've used Creative Studio's stamps and the Cosmic Shimmer Vintage sprays. These are the best photo's I could get because my camera batteries ran out on me. Pocket tag is photographed on one of my sea salt backgrounds ;-)

It's....

Father's Day tomorrow in the UK. My dad is so very sadly not with us anymore. But in the spirit of things (no pun intended) I've made these cards for Scrapology's theme of Vintage which this month is being sponsored by the adorable Hels Sheridan. I've used some stamps from Creative Studios

Serenity

I am SOOO pleased with this tag I made... I've used stamps from That's Crafty. This tag started out life as a piece of scrap paper, one of the people at craft club was going to discard... yes DISCARD i say!)  I quickly got hold of it and said it was WAY too good to go in the bin. Of course, I got the usual head shakes... what is Mandy up to now and how wack I am. Well this is how it turned out! I'm entering it into  Craft your Passion where the theme is anything goes... if you'd like to see how I made the tag... please head over to the That's Crafty Blog

Stay Free

... by The Clash...is what I'm listening to atm. Great song
Yesterday, I made this altered book at a craft club that I go to. I don't know why but I always seem to choose this shade of turquoise to alter stuff. lol. It's not great as my living room wall is this shade of turquoise and so when I do altered frames/mirrors/tagging things I cannot put it on my wall as it blends in! lol

here is my entry for Simon Says stamp and show

Riddle Me This

for Happy Daze this week... I made an Altered Zetti Shrine... I love this alot... the colours, texture everything!
Here is one of the pictures of it... the rest are on the Happy Daze blog 

I made this a few days ago and I was getting a bit worried I wouldn't get a decent pic of it, but thankfully, the weather was great yesterday and I managed to get a few shots outside in the natural light. it's 3-3d so I couldn't scan it.
I'm thinking of making it into a hanging, maybe with some beaded trim and some curly wire.

Please take a few mins to nip over to the Happy Daze blog and see the rest of the photo's
