Busy Busy...

I have been working on stuff in between doing some odd jobs and creating a new crafty space. I hope to get some things posted this week including photos of my new play area.
I got to scrape wall paper and paint last week!

Here's my entry for the High Hopes Challenge #33 No Corners!

It wasn't as easy as I thought to make sure there were no corners but it was fun coming up with ideas.

The tile project ... finally!

okay I got a bit busy doing some of my real job stuffs and did completely forget to post the finished tile project that I made for my sis-in-law's birthday.

These are the glossy finished tiles, I got a huge bundle at the Habitat Re-Store for $5.00 and thought they would be fun to experiment with.

I used Stazon Jet Black ink to stamp the images. The ballerina is from Serendipitystamps.com, I found it locally and as soon as I'd seen it knew it would be used to make something for my sis-in-law. The stamp in the middle tile is from The Stamp Barn. I can't remember who made the ballet slippers and forgot to write it down. I will try and find out though.

I coloured all the images with Twinkling H20's and they dried very well on the tiles.

I just realized at this point, when I took these pictures, that I hadn't coloured in the centre tile! I used pinks and purples for the dress and each of the ballet slippers were the same colours as the outer tiles. I'll have to get a picture from my sis-in-law of the fully coloured tiles!

The tiles were all mounted onto vinyl floor covering and then we cut an extra piece and I used my Crop-a-dile to attach a grommet for hanging.

I like the way it turned out and have plans to play with some alcohol inks on the tiles and see what I can come up with.

latest bits and such

here are some of my (and hubby's) latest work.

the Tilda I just received and oh so much fun to colour! the patterned papers are from different paper pads that I've somehow accumulated and I just liked the bright combination. Tilda was coloured with Copics ... yup they are really nice to use and do require a bit of a different method but I do like the results!

this card was made by my Hubby and isn't it awesome? I am so proud of him and how creative he is!

Many of the things I work on he helps with the logistics of how to put things together or just whether or not something looks right or not. It is so cool to see how he is getting into making his own creations!

I do have another project that I was working on for a bit that I will post tomorrow and it was something I made for my sis-in-law for her birthday and I have the cards I made for my hubby for his birthday. He and his sis have their birthdays 3 days apart and a year or two in between.
