Craft My Life Challenge

Whilst visiting my TIO team mate May's blog the other day, I came across this challenge and so decided to share one of the canvas's that I've been making ready for the upcoming craft fairs. I've already made and sold several versions of this, but still have loads more idea's spinning around in my head for different colourways etc.
If only Martha Stewart knew what this little paper punch would lead to lol.

Dragons Dream TIO #159 The Letter "F" and the Colour Green

This time around May has chosen the theme of the letter "F" and Green for our challenge over at the Dragons Dream TIO.

I love these little Fairy houses that Tracy Dutton of Lavinia Stamps designed, they are so cute and quirky. I used Lyra Polycolour pencils to colour them in against a background made from an Imagination Crafts Pearly Paint Pallet and Picket Fence Distress Stain, through one of their stencils, phew not easy to say lol. I've also got some of the Sparkle Medium around the edge of the tag but it doesn't show up very well in the photo.

I am also going to enter this into Lavinia Stamps challenge as well, if I'm not too late.

Dragons Dream TIO #158 Script and the letter "L"

Welcome to a new challenge over at the TIO, this time the fabulous Silvia has chosen the theme and would love you to have Script and the letter L on your tags, along with at least one real stamp.

My L is for leaves, something we have many of as the house backs onto woodland. 

We are also welcoming on board two new members to our design team, so please pop on over via the link on my sidebar to check out who the talented duo are!

Art Journal Challenge 2014

My first pages for the Art Journal Challenge that the fabulous Katy Crane runs on facebook. Love these Graphic45 stamps and the Crafters Workshop ink splat stencil, I always start off neat and tidy in a workbook, but by the end there are always splats!!!

This is the cover of my very boring plain black A4 sketchbook, not one inch was left untouched by Treasure Gold lol.

Dragons Dream TIO #157 The Letter "T" and a Stencil

Happy New Year and welcome to the new challenge over at Dragons Dream TIO, where the very creative Helen has chosen the letter "T" and Stencil's, to go along with at least one real stamp on your tag.
I used a nice sturdy chipboard tag and painted it with Martha Stewart Matt paint, followed by picket fence distress stain through a Crafters Workshop stencil. The stamps are all Graphic45 that I bought because I do own a typewriter just like that one, and it still works!
We hope you find time to come and join in our challenge, we love to see what you dream up, just follow the link on my sidebar to join in.

Dragons Dream TIO #156 The letter "E" and Purple

It's time to start a new round of challenges over at the Dragons Dream TIO, and after much brain storming we have decided to have an alphabet round, along with a twist of some kind.
So here is the first challenge from me. I'd love to see you use the letter "E" and purple on your tags with as usual one real stamp.
