Congratulations

A greeting card made especially for a couple celebrating the birth of their first child.

I used decoupage designed by TC Chiu from a collection entitled Country Cottage, available from Joanna Sheen.

Each layer was cut out by hand using scissors. I lightly sanded the edges before building up the decoupage layers using Pinflair Gel Glue (clear dimensional non-silicon glue).

Typing the Alphabet

The Craft Barn has revealed the next letter in the Alpha Challenge, which is T.

This is the front of the tag.

This is the reverse.

I used patterned papers Life's Journey Pansy by K & Company, an image from Jessica Sprague & Distress Ink (antique linen).

Walk with me

The Art House Challenge this week is to compose a Haiku about our shoes,

so I decided to leap in with both feet & join the challenge.

This is their prompt.

This is my response.

Walk in my footsteps
We both journey together
Forward in motion

I used my moleskine journal & divided a page into eight 5.5cm squares to use for the challenges.

The shoe image is from The Graphics Fairy.

Be Yourself

The Craft Barn has revealed the next letter in the Alpha Challenge, which runs throughout 2013.

The next alpha is Y with a twist of yellow.
