I made this card for my step mom for Mothers Day using a design from Penny Wessenauer website, theres a link to her site in my tool bar. There are loads of stunning designs on there; decoupage, tea bags etc, with a wide range of themes. There are also card templates to download. I love looking round this site, the only thing is I end up with about 3 or 4 designs for just the one card - its so hard to choose! (luckily in Dee's case its her birthday as well so I used my other choice for her birthday card)

this is Oscar trying to keep a watchful (open) eye over my crafting the other evening, it must have been so boring for him....... zzzzzzzz.

Postage stamps atcs

these are 3 atcs I made over the last few days, I bought a bag full of old stamps from a car boot I went to, and have only used the odd one or two in the past, so I decided to use them as a main background. So the theme was based on what you use stamps for - holiday postcard, love letter and books/travel/postcard. (I ignored the 'recession' atc - the one with all the bills)

Feather Art

I got an email yesterday which featured 'feather art'. I hadn't seen this craft before and was absolutly blown away by the photos, so I googled feather art and got a few hits on various websites. I can't believe the detail on the feathers, or how anyone can do that on such a small, delicate feather! Its so amazing and inspiring!

Ages ago I made an Altered CD, now this is my first attempt and I was actually impressed with the finished project. Others may not be *g* I saw them on other blogs etc, and finally decided to have a go. So out came the glue, mulberry paper and some embellishments. I now have around 10 junk cds waiting to be done and they've been waiting for some time.........

Okay, finally managed to get back on here, numpty me forgot my password and also which email addy I use on here *gibbs smacks self*

Anyhoo, thought I'd try linking to my Ebay page

ETA Wahoo!! it works.

Hi, just started this blog, so it's going to take ages for me to get my head round all the bits and bobs on here.

For now (hopefully if it works) here is a photo of my latest addition, Boe (as in The Face of Boe) he's just a little kitten in this photo, he is now 2 and has exploded into a giant fluff ball!
