Hello. Today I have a super girly card to share. The stamp set is 'flower girl' by Waffle Flower and the background paper is 'refreshed' by Authentique. I'm afraid I don't know the name of the background die panel - I really should have used a sticker on the back before I threw away the packaging.
Once again I filmed a step by step showing how I coloured using Copic markers and how I put the card together. You can watch here....
I am entering the challenge at Cute Card Thursday....feminine.
Hello. Today I have a super easy mixed media/collage page to share. Brown paper bags, ABStudios Crafters Bundle, some paint and stamping - job done! And.....I had the sewing machine out, I think the random stitching looks cool, what do you think?
There's another video.....
ABStudios goodies are available over at Paper, Pen and Plan (quote LIZ10 for 10% off).
Hello. Have you heard of Golden Books? Up to a few weeks ago I hadn't either! Then I watched a video and some clever person altered one and I knew it was something I wanted to try. Off I went online and found some Golden Books in a second hand bookshop.
So far I have taken the original book pages out, made a new spine, sewn in three signatures that include the original book pages, in fact - why not take a look at my short flip through video, it explains it better!
I will film a 'how to alter a Golden Book' with another one of my books soon.
This will be my new nature journal, as you can see from this blog post my old one has become a chunky monkey and deserves to be retired!
I am super pleased with how this has turned out and can't wait to decorate it more and add loads of entries. I will be stamping, collaging, journalling and anything else that takes my fancy!
Hello, today I have a card to share. Aren't these woodland creatures super cute? I'm loving these Anita Jeram stamps by Colorado Craft Company, the set I used here is called 'better together'. I coloured the stamped image using watercolour markers, watch how - I filmed a step by step -
The diecut daisy is by Sizzix 'wildflower stems #1' and the sentiment is by Mama Elephant 'everyday greetings'. The background paper is from a 6x6 pad called 'spring fling' by Pebbles.
I am entering the challenge at Allsorts....anything goes.
Hello. Today I have number 4 in my altered Alice in Wonderland postcards project to share. This one is a wee bit simpler than the others. A bit of patterned paper for the background and various bits and bobs collaged on top. Have a look at my process video to see how I pulled it all together....
Here are links to previous blog posts on this project -

Hello, today I have a card to share. A modern, clean and simple take on flowers. The stamp set is 'doodle buds' by Wplus9 and the papers are 'black&white' by Glitz.
I have filmed a step by step video on how I put this card together and would love if you took a look!
I am entering the challenge over at Cute Card Thursday....clean and simple.
Hello. I'm back today to share another Alice postcard project. This is postcard number 3 'Curiouser and Curiouser'. This time I added texture using a stencil and some texture paste. Once again I filmed a process video and you can watch that here on my channel.
If you missed part 1 and 2 you can find the blog post here.
I used ABStudios stamps and paper, grab them over at Paper, Pen and Plan (quote LIZ10 for 10% off ).
Hello. For a couple of years now I have been joining in 'Tiny TN Tuesday' (TN-travellers notebook). Clare, the owner of Paper, Pen and Plan hosts this every Tuesday over in the Facebook group!
I love this little micro so much, I am on volume 2 and will soon need a volume 3! I have never really shared on my blog as it's a facebook thing but I thought the time had come. It's amazing what you can do on tiny pages, sometimes it's just a sticker or two, but sometimes I go all out mixed media.
The pages above are today's efforts, it's definately a snow day here! The page below is a collage, and is one of my favourite pages.
I have filmed a three minute flip through and you can see that here on my channel or click below. If you want to join in you can grab a micro journal here. Don't forget to join the PP&P facebook group to share your tiny pages!
Hello, I have a card to share today, I have also filmed a step by step on how to make it! You can pop over to my channel here or click on the video below.
The stamp is 'sweet surrender' by Penny Black and the sentiment is from a Technique Tuesday set called 'I Like You'. Loads more info' in the video, have a nosey, and if you subscribe you won't miss any future videos!
I am entering my card into the following challenges -
So that's the first two 'in the bag'. I am trying to grow my You Tube subscribers and I would love if you joined me and subbed to my channel, and let me know in the comments if you like this sort of 'longer, talkie' sort of video. Anyway, shameless plug over, stay safe, stay home, happy crafting!
A transfer foil set and a handy bullet journal stencil.
Patterned papers, sticker sheets and diecut shapes and tags. Like I said, wow!
So, I decided to make something for my planner. It's a triple folder with pockets. The front (top pic') has a handy calendar that pulls out from a pocket.
Open it up and it has my 'to do' lists. Open it further and it has pull out planner pages.
I decorated using the trim, ribbon and stickers from the box. You can grab yourself a box here.
Hello. Another mixed media scene in my Arteza Journal. This time the background is patterned tissue paper, texture paste through a brick wall stencil and watercolour paints.
The main focal point images are from the Lady Vagabond paper pad by Stamperia. I have only fairly recently discovered Stamperia, where have I been?
Hello. I have another entry in my nature journal to share. This one records a snowy walk in the park next to where we live. I have kept the colours very pale and muted to hopefully reflect the white of the snow!
The pictures were printed from my phone using my PeriPage mini printer. This little printer needs no ink, it prints on a roll of receipt paper. Not perfect pics but good enough to record in a journal. And, of course, I still have the originals in my phone!
The background is patterned paper and the 'January bear' is a snippet from a magazine. I stamped the words and date. I also stamped the green branches using my ABStudio Twig rubber stamp, it's available here (quote LIZ10 for 10% off).
Parts 1-14 of my nature journal are here -
