Something blue ...

A scrapbook page for a forum challenge, where we had to include something blue, something round, on a water theme with some stitching!


My page is based on a day trip to the coast last month.


The paper & elements used are from Shabby Princess.

Golden Treasure

An Artist Trading Card (ATC) made for the Art Creations Friday challenge.


The challenge was to make something using the image below.


I also used the image from the week 7 challenge as the background & my favourite butterfly image from Dover. The artwork was put on a mountboard base.


The swirls are a Tim Holtz mini classic stamp embossed with gold powder. The ATC was finally edged with my Krylon 18 carat gold leafing pen.

Who you looking at?

This inchie is for the Inchy by Inch challenge on the theme of Cats.

This is my cat ... a cat with attitude ... if you look closely you can see the blue sky & white clouds reflected in her eye.


The cropped photo was put on mountboard, edges sanded for that distressed look that I love & one of Tim's word Doo-dads.

Butterfly Birthday Card

A Birthday card using my favourite butterfly image from Dover.


This time I have used swirly paper from the Funky Fairy as the background, altering the butterfly colouring to match. A little organza ribbon was added as the finishing touch.

Easter Wishes

The challenge this week on Make a Moo or Two is

Yellow Easter.

I have used the sweet Easter chick images by Sarah Kay

& a background image from The Graphics Fairy.

I have added a few punched flowers with glitter gems in the centres.

When is a square not a square?

When it's a rectangle ... so here's the story ... I saw on Lesley's blog that the Funky Fairy challenge theme this week is Dare to be Square & she had made a lovely butterfly card ... I love butterflies in my artwork, so I started to look at what downloads I already had from the Fairy & found Blue Christmas ... now there's a surprise ...



I'm a blue girl at heart & the soft tones of the papers drew my attention ... the Fairy had designed a small box ... so, & here's the final link in the chain of inspiration, I decided to make a box using the lovely blue paper designs to store my leftover paper butterflies. I had to sadly abandon another butterfly project this week ... disasters do happen ... so I recycled some of the work to complete my new project & the abandoned butterflies now have a lovely new home, together with a few friends.


It uses the wonderful butterfly image from Dover (my eternal thanks go to LJ for the steering me in the right direction to find my favourite butterfly image).

So, that's all folks!

Sometimes ...

This inchie is for the current Art Creations Friday challenge.


I have used the challenge image from week 2 as the background.

Happy Birthday

A birthday card for a friend's daughter, using paper & elements from the Shabby Princess Happy Go Lucky range.


I have used silver mirror card, textured card & glitter gems. The original butterfly image was from Dover & has been colour tweaked by me to match the chosen colour scheme.
