Not a card or scrapbook page

Hello Everyone, 

Is your life as busy as mine? Not a  lot of creating happening here at the moment! I thought I'd stop by and show you a fun project that a created a few weeks ago. 
You can just see the corner of a shelf that sits above my computer desk.....it displays a few pretty bits and pieces. But this electrical board ruined the whole look!


So........ I came up with this idea to cover it. The canvas sits right over the top.....no hooks, nails etc. It just balances on the electrical box, you would never know that ugly thing was underneath! The is canvas is 18 inches square.


I used a Kaiser stencil and gold paint to sponge the design onto the canvas. It looks yellow in the photos....but it really does have a beautiful gold shimmer. 


I'm linking up with Kaiser Saturday challenge # 3.......off the page creations.

I'm slowly finding my way to your blogs....

Thank you so much for visiting me

Happy creating

Sending a Hug

Hey Everyone,
This past week I have been outside enjoying the Beautiful Spring weather. I've been busy planting a herb garden , along with a few vege's. I really enjoy cooking with fresh Herbs :) 
So, there has not been a lot of crafting happening here until today.

The Shabby Tea Room's challenge this week is "Birds of a Feather Flock Together"
Make a bird themed card and use 3 of the colours from the inspiration photo.

Here is what I came up with.

Feel Better soon, Get Well, Thinking of You - Kinda card


"Sending a Hug" is a stamp from "Paper Sweeties" I used 'Art booking cricut cartridge to cut the scallop gold frame. 


Ok ......now its time to see what you have been up to.....time to catch up! I need it to rain - then I would spend more time in front of the computer!!

I really appreciate you stopping by, have a fabulous week!

Anything school or class related...dance class, cooking class etc.

I've used a cute image from A Childs Year cricut cartridge.....what ever class you are doing, you always need to doing a little reading, studying etc.

Here is what I came up with.


I layered some pretty papers....ripped a page from an old book then added a  pretty cluster of flowers to complete my scene.

Happy Anniversary

Hello...........Oh no......I forgot to post this last week :(

I really enjoyed being a Guest Designer at "Scrappers Garden" for the month of August.
Here is my last layout using lots of pretty flowers from the "Scrappers Garden" Store.


Some close ups.......I just love the large Polka dot flower with its lime green centre.
The flowers have a real shimmer to them, which does not show up  in the photos.



Thankyou so much for having me as a GD Linda.......its been so much fun working with your gorgeous flowers.
Happy Creating 

Tracey
