Happy Hour!

Cheers everyone! This week on SPA, the wonderfully talented Victoria is our guest host. I've had some fun today with Amber, she is joining in also.

Here are my two entries...

More Tin in my Gonic Please

Amber's happy hour is spent with rainbows, fairies and mermaids.

Zetti

Here's a canvas I've made with some zetti images I put together. This week on Take A Word the theme is Zetti so I'm entering it, if a little late!

Food for Thought Stork

This week Kristin is our host on SPA... she's chosen STORK as the theme. I was going to go vintage baby-carrier but my wonderful daughter, creator of all things Octopode drew me a wonderful little stork boy... so I've quoted the Aesop's fable "The fox and the stork"

The background was made by Linda LiveArt ~ one of her creations that she shared with me! Stamping, colouring and gluing by me.

You've come a long way Baby!

Here's my baby girl Little A ~ she's now finished school except for exams.... what's a mother to do besides embarrass her girl on her blog!

A very Strange Thing...

yes I'm talking about DADA ... This week on SPA Marion has challenged us all to make some anti-art, surreal collage DADA-ist type of art. Here's my attempt!

April Showers Bring May Flowers

Here's my entry and sample for this weeks Sunday Postcard Art.

I've used images from The Octopode Factory.

Happy Ever After!

Yes, this week we are celebrating Weddings. I've used a photo from my mum and dad's wedding day and altered it somewhat.... starting with attaching bobble heads ~ always gives a fun look to the postcard!

You can't really tell from the scan but I stamped the stone floor and church, cut out leaves and attached them to the church. Used watercolours for the backgrounds and attached the couple image on top after colouring the flowers red.

Walk with Me

Here's my ATC for CAC this week, theme is boys.

Stand Proud

This week on Theme Thursday the theme is vintage. Love this image of a young Queen Victoria so I've used her on an ATC.

This Looks Easy

I've made this big tag for this week's crowabout on Flickr. I've been wanting to make a large tag for ages and also make something just for the heck of it so two birds .... equals

I'm entering this for theme thursdays prompt of girls

Love these Paints

I got these paints for Christmas and I've only just had chance to have a play with them! They are fab, I love using them along with the credit card technique. Gorgeously bright colours!

Can't wait to make something with these luscious backgrounds.

Happy Easter

everyone.

I've had such a busy week... I didn't even get a chance to make anything for last week's SPA! But I've made two postcards to celebrate the Easter weekend!

Thanks for looking
