Happy Easter....

Happy Easter and a reminder that chocolate is good for your heart, so enjoy!!!

Today is my dear friend Kimmy's birthday today, so last night I delivered her birthday present. She has had it tough lately, so I thought she could do with a pick me up and made her a scrap tin for her room.

I won't go into much detail so here it is.....

A flower on the side of the tin, I used crystal effect to adhere some glass beads to the centre of the hodgepodge label.....

I called the tin scrappy bits....

Side on view.....


Lots of ribbons and embellishments to bring delight. So Kimmy, you can know turf your Milo tin and enjoy your paint can instead and Happy Bday.....

Have a look at Kimmy's blog here http://paper-artsy.blogspot.com/ , she has the most devine creations.....

Alisa's Challenge

I have been so busy lately and a bit sleep deprived with the changing of Jacob's diabetes routine to help control his BGL. Hopefully this will help to maintain better control of his diabetes.

Anyway, I thought I would give Alisa's Challenge ago. You can find Alisa's colour challenge here: http://www.alisatilsner.com/blog/?cat=15 . The colours used are Riding Hood Red, Creamy Caramel, Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze and Very Vanilla.

I use my embossing folder for the creamy caramel and then rubbed the matching ink over the embossed card stock to highlight the dots. Nestabilities were used for the baja breeze and riding hood red card stock mats. Blooming beauty is the stamp set that I used on very vanilla card stock. A stencil was made that allowed me to stamp the blossom meaning onto the pot base with versamark. I then chalked over the versamark with creamy caramel to highlight the meaning. The effect looks so much better in real than the photo. You should give it a try!

Wide Chocolate Chip ribbon was added on the creamy caramel embossed card stock. Although the photo does not show up very well, there is crystal effect on the flowers that I coloured using blender pens and ink from the riding hood red and baja breeze ink pad bases. The flower pot is raised with foam dots to create 3D effect. I stamped a bee and sediment in chocolate chip ink.

So until next time.....

Echoes of kindness.....

A really quick post before I go to work. I had a work shop on the weekend and this is what the girls made using a new stamp set of course, the new in colours and spritzer tool.
