A Few ATCs

A few of my more recent ATCs

ALTERED PHOTO FRAME

This was a plain wooden frame, I wanted something to remind me

of my favourite place - the seashore, and used a mix of embossing

powders, stamps, beads & embellishemnts to frame this

beautiful feather that I photographed, which is my other passion

in life aside from crafting

BIRTHDAY CARD

This is the birthday card I made for my friend Stee,

using indigo blu glue & gilding flakes, and done onto a velvet

type of paper. It was a large card, using

a metal stencil for the dragon.

I had great fun doing this card & Stee absolutely loved it

I would like to share some good news with you all :),

I have recieved the Liebster Blog award

from Abie Kay
Thank you so much for choosing me and a great surprise
Please check out Abbie's blog http://poweredbyfairydust7.blogspot.com/ take a look at some of her great projects

The idea of the Liebster Blog Award is to spread the love from one small blog (under 200 followers) to other small blogs. This helps to spread knowledge and readship.

"Liebster" in German means "dearest", so as part of the Leibster award tradition, is to pass this award to 5 blogs that I value, that have both inspired and motivated me.

To accept the award you must do the following:

1) Link back to the persons blog who gave it you and thank them for thinking of you

2) Post the award to your blog.

3) Give the award to 5 bloggers (with less than 200 followers) that you appreciate and value.

4) Leave a comment on the blogs of the five people you have chosen to let them Know.

This was very difficult to only be able to choose 5,
wish I could have chosen more.
However I would like to give this award to these lovely ladies mentioned below you create beautiful projects and I gain lots of inspiration from you all


This was a really hard decision to make because so many people inspire me
Anyway these are the 5 most lovely people that I gain inspiration from

1. Tony Dillon

2. sarah

3.Lyndi

4. Fat Monica

5. Dazie

Smashbook

Welcome to my latest, ongoing project. I am making a smashbook, which is a kind of scrapbook, just less organised, and more than just photos memories. anything & everything can go in a smash book.

I have made mine using stock I already had at home, but there are official smashbooks out there you can buy & which I also have. However, I am concentrating on this one for now. here is a picture of the Smashbook, the front cover & the first inside page
