London lady atc

Well I'm having a fab time at Chriss' ..fab company...great food and LOTS of crafting but very little sleep. We didn't go to bed at all last night... I finally gave in at 9.30am this morning and had to go for some shut eye and got about 5 hrs lol. , Chriss is going for the marathon cos she is still going strong even if her eyes look like little slits in her face....bless :D
We've made LOADS of stuff... played like kids in nursery school and laughed and skitted each other mercilessly... that's what friends are for eh.
Can't show you what I've made yet... will reveal all over the next few days... but here is one I did earlier, always have summat tucked away. I love these fab stamps from Tanda Stamps and this gorgeous background paper which is from Crafty Individuals totally yummy.
Ok gotta go cos my Tim Holtz goodies are screaming to be played with and I am so loving getting messy... you should see the colours of my fingers...rofl

See you soon
hugs

Something Completely Different Challenge -Time

Week 40 challenge at SCD is time and I made this atc during my playtime with Chriss and Debbie. The background was stamped with diamond and tree stamps by Crafty Individuals and the gorgeous lady is one from a set of stamps by Tanda stamps. I 'think' the letter and word stamps are from the Artistic Stamper but don't quote me on that...lol
I often wish that as I've bought stamps I should have put them into boxes or containers marked with where they originate from... BUT I am much toooooo disorganized for that... hey sometimes I don't even know how I manage to get myself out of bed and dressed of a morning!!
Have a fab day all

Altered wooden photo holders (Family)

These wooden photo holders were from a children's paint it yourself craft kit that I got from my favourite shop...yes you guessed it... the £ shop lol. I didn't want to just paint them though I had other ideas in mind.

I love the new Anita's Christmas papers and thought if I covered one side of the photo holders completely with this design...

and used some to cover the chipboard on the other side... I could then give them to someone as a Christmas gift :D

I think they will look fab holding some cherished photographs. I used matt poster paint as the base as I don't particularly like shiny paint and it worked a treat.

Okay another little challenge for you today... and these stamps by Tanda stamps are up for grabs at the Papergirls blog ...so if you fancy adding these lovelies to your stash then pop over to see what the challenge is all about. You have until the 10th November to join in :D


Oh nearly forgot... Dad is coming out of hospital today... everything went wonderfully with his op this time. He is in fine spirits and looking really well and hopefully will be pain free for the first time in a long time. So thank you for all your good wishes xxxxxx

Be back soon
