Our makes from this week

 

Good Sunday Morning Ladies,  

This feels like the worst weather we've had at a weekend for ages, so we didn't get outside.  I needed to sit and get some projects made anyway, so that was me most of the day.  Paul was busy getting all the bits together for holiday,  so today I will go through clothes to make sure they fit and put them to he ironed if they need it, I do try and iron them when I pack them away so that it saves time when it comes to packing,  I also put a couple of tumble dryer sheets in the box so that they smell fresh when I open them up.  

We are all capable of somethings,  its a bid of an odd reminder but I guess it's just to reassure you if you are doubting yourself!!

Hi, here is my journal page for this week.

Must admit I was really stumped for this idea.

The theme is under water so this was the best I could do.

I found the idea on Utube using Lavinia Stamps and stencils. This one was by Jo Rice, a very talented lady. The fish are old dies from Sue Wilson.

Wow Lilian what a brilliant idea,  you have put so much detail into that fish tank, with all the little pebbles and plants,  even the cork looks so real.  

Thank you so much for an inspirational project for the Aall&Create challenge XXX

Challenge: Under the Water

I printed some images I found on Kelly Lou Who Junk Journals Facebook page. The collection is called Vintage Maritime Mermaid Junk Journal Kit.

I distressed the edges and inked with Walnut Stain and Stormy Sky distress inks. I dyed some gauze with shimmer sprays - although the shimmer doesn’t show up - and shaped them to add behind the images. I added some sequins and a bulb pin with tiny beads 😊

Oh Sonia what an incredible journal page,  I zoomed in on the bulb pin and that lovely gauze you have coloured.  It gives such great texture and looks brilliant.  The sequins give little pops of light and sparkle here and there too. 

You must be absolutely delighted how this page turned out, its perfect for the challenge topic 

Thank you so much for inspiring us with your stunning backgrounds and lovely layouts XXX

A rectangle in various transparencies and an embellishment

Card 2: All made with scraps, Grey off cut

Sentiment is a stamp from a magazine.

Two brilliant cards, you'd never guess that they were made from scraps of card.   I absolutely love that Embossing folder you have used on the shirt card.  

Thank you so much for supporting the challenges Karen,  I really do appreciate it XXX
