I decided to make a journal a sort of a diary. I added paint with an old credit card (my favourite way).

I used stencils and masks with white paint. Next step was spritzing with Mica Sprays. Then I stamped and used a letter stencil for January. I have punched some squares which will be the next step.

 One side of my desk. I recently added another tier to my blending tool spinner and bought some inkpad storage from a friend. I could do with at least another 2.

 I managed to adhere some of my punched squares before the children came. School holidays means I am baby sitting a 2 year old GD and  a 10 year old GS. The problem that comes with this is the little one wants to do what her big brother is doing. He is making a puppet theatre so I gave him paints and a box which granddad had altered. The little one had a water brush and paint and an apron that drowned her.

A good time was had by all. Then the little one found her cousins were going ice skating. Scroll down to see how well she did.

Yasmine ice skating in Lytham St Annes.

I will post photos of our puppet theatre when we have finished it. We have made finger puppets and I bought some on Ebay as well.

I made some cards for a change

I am staying with a crafting friend whose DH is in hospital so after visiting we go back and make a few cards

We have been playing with stencils, Distress inks, Embossing folders and chalks.

Tim's Tags Day 12

I had a play but lost my Tissue Paper Flower.I chose to colour my metal foil tape with a Gold pen.

Wednesday again. I have been sorting out all the backgrounds I have demo'd at shows. I decided to make a journal with them. 

On my desk are the elements of trying Tim's Tags. It takes me longer to find the elements than make the tags.

Go and see what everyone else has been getting up to on Julia's blog

Tim's Tags

I have been looking at the TH blog and catching up on his tags.

My version of Tag day 4

Used the Drunken Glue tech but Silver AI does  not work well.

Tim made some leaves from his Kraft Glassine. I do not have any so I tried the bag from a box of cereal. I used 3 colours of AI's then added pearlex. When I find my leaf die I will cut some out.

 I am back from Africa and this is my desk today. I had a shipment of the Winter Distress Inks so opened one for myself to play with. 

I had an idea while I was away so scroll down.

 Home made tissue tape.

are you asking 'How?'

Well I had some micropore tape with me on holiday in case my pain patch came loose while swimming.

I looked at it and thought Tissue Tape.

I stuck 2 pieces on my craft sheet and stamped the top one. The one below is coloured first with my new DI then stamped.

I was hoping to post these last week but the internet in Africa is slow.

Anyhow we enjoyed beading by the pool. I made an ankle bracelet and necklace.

If you have got this far go over to Julia's blog for some sneaky snooping.

If my other idea works I will post tomorrow when I have tried it out.

R.I.P.
