Took Friday afternoon off work and went exploring with my mate Cathy Dempster (Photographer) and we had a nice hour or so of taking photos of an old abandoned house.  It's so sad to see the briars coming through the windows, but it makes a lovely picture I think!!!!

I love this photo, it was perfectly still in the room but there was just the slightest breeze started to blow through the window so I had to capture the moment.  Maybe it was the spirit of the lady who lived there?
Had a lovely time just chilling out and not crafting!!!!!

Some cards from Class

I really don't know why I can't keep a blog up to date.... surely it's not that difficult!!  I need more hours in the day and days in the week at the moment to get myself back on track I think!
  Well life goes on in the shop and new goodies are arriving slowly but surely.




 These are the cards we made on Saturday in class.  I think everyone enjoyed making them.  New papers have arrived in now so I will have fun playing with them too. 

This card is made using the papers from the Crafters companion Angelica & friends CD rom.  I don't normally use cd's but this one is so cute.  The stamp is from Woodware and is great cos all you need to do is change your paper colour!!

Poor wee sick Pig is a Woodware stamp and is coloured in using Spectrum Noir and Promarker Pens.  The embossed detail is from a Darice embossing folder on coredinations cardstock and then sanded

This cute wee Ballerina is a Crafters Companion Stamp

This is a new stampendous stamp which is very detailed and was stamped using Versafine Ink in Onyx.  stickles added to the tree for effect as there really wasn't a lot that needed to be done to the image.  I used patterned paper and stamped on the co-ordinating rear side. 

 

 

 

Right, back to the drawing board to sort out this Saturday's class.
