Dodgy Comments.

It would appear that some unscrupulous people have targeted my blog to pass on computer viruses. Please DO NOT VIEW any comments that only say " look here" as they are unlikely to be genuine and may harm your computer. If they persist, I will start to moderate comments, to protect those who are honest and genuine.

Charity Giveaway


In an unashamed attempt to advertise my website I have made this as a prize for a charity quiz night. It is now mounted in a box frame, but that was difficult to scan! I haven't used bleach for ages, here it highlights the breaking waves. I hope it goes down a storm! Oh, and do you remember doing chromatography at school? You know, put a drop of ink onto blotting paper, add a drop of water, then watch the colours spread? Well, it turns out that distress inks on handmade paper have the same effect. The colours on the background paper are actually Walnut Stain & Tattered Rose. Neat, huh?!!

Fun with Alcohol!


Alcohol inks, that is! I don't use peel-offs very often, but I like this one. The background is alcohol ink on acetate, and this is Gareth's Dad's birthday card. Hopefully it will get to him soon, snail mail is really going at a snail's pace with this!

Aaaahh, Birthdays!




Yup, plenty of birthdays so far this year, Gareth has such a large family! They certainly keep me busy. Here are 3 recent ones, I hope they all liked them!

Second chance!


Well, I get to show this off after all! This weeks theme at Gothic Arches is Asia, though I originally did this for their History theme, I missed the deadline! The terracotta army stamp is from Paper Artsy. The background is alcohol inks on handmade paper, and all other stamps are Paper Artsy too. Dymo labels painted with gold ink finish it off nicely!

Doesn't time Fly!



Well, it has been a while again, but I have been finding some craft time! I'm afraid the green card didn't scan too well, but these are a couple of Mother's Day cards I made using alcohol inks on acetate. I particularly like the Daisy one, which is a Graphicus stamp.
