A little birdie told me…

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to share aΒ  quick and easy card I made on Friday using the new product from Colourcraft called SprinkleIT..

It is a super fine mica powder with a very high shine and very easy to work with, I used a versamark ink pad along with a fine detailed bird stamp from Hero Arts for today’s card..

#6

Supplies List:-

  • White card base 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
  • Silver glitter paper 4 1/4″ x 4 1/4
  • Black Cardstock 4″ x 4″
  • Tim Holtz Stamp Set “a little birdie told me” sentiment
  • Pearl SprinkleIT from Colourcraft
  • Hero Arts Bird Stamp
  • Fluffy brush for dusting the SprinkleIt on

I am hoping to start back regular blog posts again now that my new horse Rosie and I have settled into a routine and Winnie the pup is now 6 months old and behaving herself πŸ™‚

See you soon

Pom Pom Paper Clips

Hi Everyone..

I was out for lunch today at Loch Leven’s Larder and whilst we were waiting for a table, we had a browse around the shop, where they have loads of gifty things and I happened to spy pom pom paper clips, they were silver clips with white pom poms, and they were not cheap! … Β now I thought to myself, I can make them!, I have all the stuff Β in my wee shed!… I will make some when I get home, and I did πŸ™‚ and here they are πŸ˜‰

pom pom paper clips 3

supplies list:-

  • Pom Poms – Hobbycraft sell huge bags of them
  • Paper Clips – I bought a plastic tub from Asda for Β£2 (it had paper clips and Push pins and other clips in it)
  • UHU Glue Β£1 from the Pound shop (really any glue will do use what you have to hand)

Now these a fairly inexpesive to make and look really nice and if you have kids they will go down a treat, plus I am sure they will love to have a go at making these too!

Hi Everyone!..

Today I am sharing 2 art journal pages with you πŸ™‚ … now if you have followed my blog for a while you will not have seen any art journal pages because I struggle with them big time!

So I headed over to Stampers Grove in Edinburgh yesterday to attend a workshop with Lorna Figures called Pot Luck Art Journaling and I really enjoyed myself… and managed to get one page finished and another page started which is a huge accomplishment and I kinda quite like the concept now.. so I am now the proud owner of a lovely new art journal, ranger apron and some Dina Wakeley Scribble Sticks πŸ™‚

First picture is my finished page using my new scribble sticks πŸ™‚
