What I have been up to

 

Here are a few makes I've done recently.

Vase

Hi, this is a vase that I had and it was looking a bit old fashioned and was chipped in places, so I decided to give it a make over. I used Viva Terra paint for the base and Pebeo acrylic paint for the flower, now it looks like new :)

Design Teams

I have decided I would like to be part of a design team so I have entered myself for three so far. I was not successful in two of them so fingers crossed for the other, and if not then there are some more I would like to join

This is a bit blurred sorry lol.

This is using my new technique that I am learning to do it is folk painting and again its of poppies (i love poppies).

Sheena Douglass brought this idea out not long ago and i couldn't wait too try it, its so much fun and you get good results without any painting skill :P

Some of my newest makes :)

This is a house mouse design from Joanna Sheen that

I coloured in with Promarkers and added paper flowers that I coloured in to match the design.

New card

Hi everyone,

I am just showing a card that i did using a down loadable sheet from a site called D.I.Y doodles. Its a very new and cool site with a forum too. You download all kinds of sheets that you can use for cards, scrapbooking, calenders etc etc etc lol It was created by a friend of mine and his friend designed this sheet and her name is Fiona.

Hopefully soon i will get a link to it on my blog :)

Thanks for the lovely design Fiona and i hope I've done it justice

I hope to post more regular with more of my crafts :P
