A BEGINNERS GUIDE TO......

(If the word for a female dog offends please look away now)
......BECOMING A BITCH

Hi All,
I'm here today to shear a little bit of silliness & harmless humor,
I hope it won't offend anybody.

With the kids back to school I have a bit more time to craft
although I have just taken on a bigger work load,
in the way of a promotion, so we will have to see,
I did get a pay rise so it's not all bad (more money for craft stash)lol

anyway back to my project
I bought a collage sheet from Lisa's altered art that I couldn't resist
& this is what I made, (a tiny book of funny)

Ingredients used,

Lisa's collage sheet,

background stamps, all from, the artistic stamper

(Jennie's backgrounds are among my fav stamps ever)

Distress Inks in

(vintage photo, Victorian velvet, bundled sage, scattered straw,tattered rose)

tiny piece of tissue tape,

brown ribbon & 2 silver eyelets

the title on the book was printed of the computer

silver peel offs

(coloured with a brown pro marker before they were peeled off the sheet)

Here's a look at all the pages,

How funny are these ladies &their phrases,

Hope you like it!

That's it for today.

JOURNAL CALENDER (SEPTEMBER 2011)

Hi all,
I'm here today to show off my September pages,

My finished AUGUST page will appear as if by magic near the bottom of this post,


For those of you that are not in the know,
this challenge lasts the whole year,
you have to journal every day in the form of 12 monthly calender pages,
& then head over to the Kathryn wheel blog & link up your creation,
so Kate Crane & any one else can see what you have come up with,

If you like the sound of that? you can jump in at any time along the way,
so get cracking & head over HERE to check it out

Here's My September pages,
I love the colouring of these pages (a total fluke) not planned at all,
I love it when that happens, lol.

Here's the Distress inks I used for the blending,

Here's the stamps I used for the background,

Here's the finished background

(I stamped the boarder with Jet Black Archival ink)

Now for the fun part,

the embellishing,

The squares are again as the other months part of a TSV on QVC

bought ages ago (glad to put them to good use)

the days of the week are done on my computer,

as are the numbers (then punched out with a circle punch)

coloured with copic markers,

for SEPTEMBER I used letter tiles from a hang man game

purchased from a pound shop.

(I grunged them up with ink because they looked to new)

the lady & the heads on the left are cut from graphic 45 paper

as is the light bulb with wings,

the ladies on the right are stamped in coffee archival

using a stamp from the artistic stamper,

I seem to have filled the pages this time,

not much room to maneuver,

so I have actually stuck things down this month (lol)

my confidence must be growing (tee hee hee)

Now for my finished AUGUST pages,

I am finding It hard to find different things to right about,

because I am always doing the same things,

(work, sleep, food shopping, house work, washing looking after kids,etc)

so apologies for not being very interesting

for all you double clickers out there,

note to self, must try harder LOL

Anyway that's me for today,

have a creative day.

Thanks for stopping by,

back soon,
