Sunday Stamper-week 100-free as a bird-plus MEGA candy

Congratulations to Hels on the 100th Sunday Stamper challenge...whoohoooo.  This weeks theme is 'free as a bird'  which means you can do ANYTHING including things with birds...lol  The challenge is sponsored by The Artistic Stamper and The Stamp Attic so there is a fabby combined prize of £30 to spend on goodies... how cool is that!!

I stamped a Time hanging for my entry and oh boy this should be my Mantra cos there are never enough hours in the day for me :D

I used my new fabby lace stamp as the background for this stunning closed watch   ... love the detail of it...

I stamped this watch face on the back and again to mount on my background and put this image from Lisa's altered art inside...

I finished my hanging with two other stamped watches stamped onto Basicgrey paper.

All stamps are from The Artistic Stamper.

Hels is adding another prize to the fund if she gets 100 comments and is also giving away her artwork for this week which is amazing.  You can also enter as many times as you like and the challenge lasts for two weeks.... so what are you waiting for :D

have a great day

Mona altered candle

I've been going to try transfering an image stamped on tissue onto a candle for ages but never seemed to get around to it.... but when I got my favourite Mona Lisa stamp out the other day ...I just knew where she was going to end up :D

I gave her a crown which was a pressy from my pal Chriss and used Heidi Grace plastic embellishments to decorate the candle along with some half pearls.

I also put some sticky ribbon around the candle to tie in with the colour scheme and add some more decoration.

I've been at my friends'  for a couple of days and was over the moon to come home to this fabby prize that I won from The Artistic Stamper with Hels challenge at Sunday Stamper...whooohoooo thanks Hels it's amazing :D

I also won this cosy hot water bottle and cover which came with this shopper bag from the gorgeous Terrie's blog a while ago and forgot  to share it with you.... Thanks Terrie.... big HUGS xx

It has been my lucky time cos I also won a gift from Patty which I will share with you when it arrives :D

Hope you are having a fabulous weekend.

You gotta be in it...to win it :D

The template challenge that is... (click on the link to the right).  I've been really lucky lately cos I've won 3 bloggy prizes in the space of three weeks...whooohooo how cool is that... me who never wins anything usually.  So I decided I should give something back... good karma and all that. 

So if you enter my little challenge (you've got 2 weeks to do it in) You can win these exclusive stamps designed by moi. (The largest one is approx 5"x3.5") I designed them years ago and did nothing with them so I am gonna share them with you.  They aren't available anywhere else so you will be the only one to have them...cool eh :D

So on to the template challenge and here are a few examples of how you can use them.

I created a fairytale castle with the help of stamps from Crafty Individuals.

A frame picture of Frida Kahlo with a background stamped with part of a flourish from The Artistic Stamper.

The lovely picture was a freebie from Altered bits.com and the little stamp I used inside the windows and doors is a Basicgrey one I think.

Frida can shut the doors on those prying eyes when she feels like a rest...lol

Finally I created an atc with the smaller template using the same flourish stamp as the frame background with distress inks.

I hope that I have inspired you and that you will join in with the challenge.

See you soon
