Stamp a character!

The challenge this fortnight at Crafty Boots is use a stamped character.

I don't have too many stamped characters but realised I had bought this one at the  Crafty Boots store and I remodeled her to increase her wings and make her a little grunge. She's Butterfly girl by Sam Poole. I made the door hanger for my friend Gabrielle at Crafty Thoughts for her birthday. I hope she can have it hanging around to hopefully inspire her to make her fantastic art everyday...

Recycle - Crafty Boots Challenge

Recycled Crafty Boots Challenge - well it has a book page to start with but I have gone back to this piece of art, three times and finally settled I think!?

Version 1 or 2

 I got the idea from somewhere but did my usual and rushed not getting all my layers in order. The final canvas looks like this with modelling paste and gold acrylic paint round the edges. Now its finished perhaps I can give it to my sister.. the intended recipient before Christmas delayed but finished - I think?.

Final version

It's a Creative World - it's back!!

This Easter weekend It's a Creative World (IACW) relaunches! This is a lovely group of very talented crafters who do a bit of everything! Wow what inspiration. I had been asked to be a member of the design team before it took a break and I am thrilled that we are back.
There's 4 posts everyday to inspire and this is a sneak peek at mine.. head over there and have a look.

A Teenager!

Wow, we have a teenager! In the early morning of the 11th March, Thomas arrived. How can that rather lovely baby be 13! Happy birthday my gorgeous boy. Funnily enough the 11th March is a super day having 4 special birthdays celebrated. Happy Birthday Jenny, Kate, Thomas and Zach!

Something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue!

Something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue!

This is my interpretations of something blue for the Crafty Boots challenge. It's Stephanie-Emma and Keiron's  wedding on Friday and we wish them a wonderful day and life together. Congratulations!

Pottery fun

As half term draws to an end I have managed to find a couple of minutes to blog and discovered this draft I never posted. We, me the pink one, blue one and my Mother outlaw had a super time afternoon at a pottery painting place Chiki ceramiki  I have never done this before and in usual fashion dived in. I saw on the net a couple of cake plates and loved the idea. This was my attempt.

Lilli did a fairy and Tom a super geeko. My Outlaw ;-) (don't worry she reads my blog!) did a lovely pottery pendant with paints and stamps.

The perfect plate for birthday cakes and just cakes with friends!!
