paperatsy challenge

Penny Nuttall had been the GD for this weeks paperarsty challenge and she did a lovely dimensional piece using Darcy stamps and as I don't have those in my collection and wondered how I could interrupt  what she made.

So again I have used my JOFY stamps and a gate die to make a secret garden. was hoping to complete some of the other challenges but I have simply run out of time.

paperartsy challenge

Keren Bakerr paperartsy challenge GD has done some super cards and this inspired me to make a tag using JOFY stamps

 

scrap365 challenge

Not the best of pictures taken with my camera. Anyway scrap 365 challenge sketch.and I was able to use some of my left over papers from crate paper DIY shop collection. a less fussy layout for me but it still took me all day to do

paperartsy 3 up challenge

 

paperartsy have had a there 3 up challenge, showcasing many artists  examples of inspirational work using the new paperartsy stamps. so I decided to give it a go using small journaling pockets to display my takes on there projects. As I have some of the new JOFY stamps along with some old paperartsy stamps i decided that would be the way I would go. I used some fresco paints dylusions inks, distress ink and some old green papers from pink paislee  to create my montage . I ran out of time to do the last card.

back again

well the half term here not much crafting has been done. I did get round to making mothers day cards and a birthday card for my mum. plus 2 money wallets for my niece and nephew who turned 15  this month.

After being inspired by the paperarsty project life page I did in the previous post with JOFY stamps  (and I won a set of stamps on there blog) I decided to give another project life page a try

This time I used crate paper DIY papers, along side some MME chalk board frames. my newly purchase chevron punch from stampin up, a papertrey ink die and a wood veneer embellishment.

 

 

the only saving grace about this month is it was my annual trip to Alexandra Palace (AP) for the big stamp and scrap booking show. My good crafting friend Janina drives us there, Liz  makes us laugh and Emma and I sit in the back, like a couple of children giggling or falling asleep. I have to say I wasn't feeling my best, tired after a late night at work, back pain after lifting little man on to a trampoline and my hay fever playing up. Any way I made a list and got most of what I wanted plus some extras. Card stock from Anna Marie Designs. some junkyard findings by Prima, metal fastenings from the MDF man, Paperartsy goodies. dies from Sammuel Taylors, antiquing cream demoed by Andy Skinner, Project life bits, and stamps from inkylicious. I was totally spent out , well it was my birthday money

ode to project life\paperatsy

wanted to try something different after seeing the paperartsy blog this week. Pam Thorburn did a page based on pocket scrapbooking and this is my take on it.

I have used canvas paper, used gesso to prime the pages. Made backgrounds using fresco paints. used a floral mask with snowflake paint. Used two JOFY stamp plates . Painted my flowers and added a quote and book plate.
