Stamptacular Sunday challenge - One for the birds

Hello the challenge at Stamptacular Sunday Challenge is one for the birds. I made this card using my crafty individual stamp some swirls and I also made some bead swirls. Please excuse the glue marks ( now gone) I also used glimmer mists to make the background onto which I stamped my bird.

Thank you card

I have made a start on my Thank you cards. I made this one this afternoon ,as no mad rush to pick up my babies. I used my new glaze pens to colour in the image and the cuttlebug border and the sentiment. I put the image onto felt that I had put through the cuttlebug, I then matted onto pink card that I edged with purple sakura pen. I layered that onto some green card that I put through the cuttle bug. I made some felt flowers and added gems. I used a creamy colour for the main card and added some swirls.

I am entering this for 2 challenges the saturday sketch and this thursday it's all about stashraiders. I used somepapers I found in my drawer and co=ordinated the stamped image with them. I used acrylic paints to colur in this crafty individuals stamp. I made the embellishments to co-ordinate too. I love this stamp so I am glad I got to use her. Check out her fairy wings they are made with the papers I found.
It has been one of those days today. Knee high in washing, cleaning, clearing away. Jimmy took the kids out, so I could craft in peace and Harry managed to hit him in the face with a golf club, so he had to go to a&e whilst I dealt with Mayhem at home. Nevermind he's all fixed up now, Thank the lord.

Daring cardmakers challenge -|The same but different

http://daringcardmakers.blogspot.com/2008/08/same-but-different.html
I made this using acrylic paints,stamps, embossing powders and the quote. I usedthe words in the quote to inspire the background and kept a simple colour pallette. The challenge was to use the same quote as everyone in your design.

Yes I know I should be getting out and about with the kids! But.......

I have found 2 new blogs today curtsy of Dawns award. So instead of getting the kids out I made this for creative Wednesday's Garden challenge. What a sheer joy to create. I used the following materials.
I also discovered some new techniques from http://www.rsmadness.com/


glue
tissue paper
sakura pens
stamps (english stamp Company,Joanna Sheen, crafty individuals)
glitter mists
baby wipes

ATC I feel aother new addiction!

I have made this ATC after making one for this weeks Arty girlz challenge. I think this is a seriously addictive pastime as they are so quick to do and so fun to design. I made this with my new crafty individuals stamps and some acrylic paints and some glimmer mists and some elusive image stamps and some embellishments from my craft hoard. I had a blast making it. I fee; quite tired today as my baby Max is teething and is not getting much of a rest. I have also been trying to get something sorted out and it is not. Still at least I can lose myself in a spot of crafty heaven.

Arty Girlz challenge #49 Summer

I have been busy creating this ATC with my new crafty individual stamps. I have made it for the Arty girlz challenge #49 the theme being summer. I painted the lady with sakura stardust pens and a watercolur brush. Arranged her in a collage and added some embellishments. As you can see she has been out enjoying the sunshine before she attends her summer ball!

Altered art and mixed media work

Wow Wow Wow. I am just blown away by this technique it inspires the juices so much. I have been doing some more research on the web. I am awash with ideas and don't really know where to start.
Well I do because I have ordered some stamps from crafty individuals and I have been viewing some work by other artists. Roll on the arrival of my new toys ( mummies toys as they are known in our house).
