Once upon a notebook

I recently found this cute little notebook. I decided to alter the cover by using A lovely Teddy stamp by Crafty Insividuals, and colouring her with watercolours.I created the background by using chalks on water I have written a short tutorial on how I did this here. I then added a few spalshes of watercolours.

I tied a lot of pretty organza ribbons onto the book spiral.

Thank you so much for visiting.

I would like to enter this little notebook into the following challenges.

Hope and Courage

I used the beautiiful Boadicia stamp set from IndigoBlu, and coloured her with watercolours. I have made something quite simple with no extras added, but I think it says so much.

Thank you so much for looking.

Angel Wings

I was inspired by the candle wreath in the June issue of Land Love Magazine. So I created my version of it. I placed it in what was my dog Tammy's bowl. It would have been her birthday today, but she sadly died over 16 years ago. I still miss her everyday.

I used Sweet Peas, Lavender, Rosemary, and Meadowsweet which were all from our little garden, and I purchased some Sweet Williams.

I found a Yankee candle called "Angel Wings" which was perfect as I always called her my Angel.

Incidentally this month Land Love have the most gorgeous lantern paper template to download and create!

 

Audrey Hepburn Postcard

 

 

I was blog hopping recently when I came across the blog Sunday Postcard Art. Where a new theme is set to create a postcard each Sunday. This weeks theme was Audrey Hepburn, and as Audrey Hepburn is my favourite actress I of course had to take part!

A friend gave me a packet of napkins with Audrey on a few years ago, and they were so beautiful I of course couldn't use them, so I put them in the back of a drawer. I pulled them out to make this postcard. I carefully cut her out of the napkin, and also cut some flowers out of a pretty paper which I had. I also added lots of pretty gems, and some sequin net, and some stickers.

I hope this will be suitable for a postcard.

 

Audrey Hepburn personified beauty both internally and externally.

 

"I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I believe in miracles” - Audrey Hepburn

 

 

 

 

 

 

Papercrafter Designer For The Day

I have been lucky enough to have been chosen for Designer for the Day in issue 97 of Papercrafter magazine.

If you would like to know how I made this card the details can be found in the magazine.

My 3D scene which I made with the lovely Indigo Blu Clumber Park stamps, was also in the magazine, which was a surprise.

There are lots of wonderful ideas in the magazine this month!

 

The Voice of The Sea Speaks to the Soul Mini Scrapbook

This months Challenge theme at Mixed Media Mojo is Summertime with a Twist of Shells. you do not have to use the twist if you don't want to, it's all about having fun!

I made this fairly simple 6 x 6 mini book for the theme. I will be adding a few notes and pictures about how I created it later this month.

I hope you will join in the fun this month.

 

A Sunshiny Day

I love Phyllis Harris stamps, and this lovely little girl is another of her wonderful creations! I had a lot of fun creating a Summer Meadow for her to wander in. Craft Stamper have very kindly published it in there August edition, so the details about how I made her meadow can be found in there.

Let's hope the sun starts shining for real soon!

I posted this on Unity Stamps Facebook page and Phyllis Harris the artist who created the stamp left a comment! How very kind was that!
