Quick Bookmark

I love love love to read, and I know quite a few people who do also. When you have several books on the go or want to mark a particular passage a scrap of dirty paper is usually the answer for me! Some people turn the corner of the page over or even write on the pages! For the forever in search of a bookmark here is a quick and easy but pretty and practical solution. You can fire these out a dozen at a time, the only thing stopping you is space on the table.

I used some of the goodies in my latest Design Team package from IndigoBlu, the new Royal Peacock Flake with the Flitter Glue and the Enjoy Life stamp plate doodling round the edge with a white sakura gel pen.

Have a great week everyone!

Assemblage Piece

I am doing a fabulous Andy Skinner workshop and we have the option to enter a final piece to win a prize. My piece is coming close to completion so I wanted to post a few sneaky peeks. Here is the before and after treatment of part of my final assemblage piece.

WOYWW 365 Calendar Update

What's on my desk today? It is the 1st of August so that would be my 365 art calendar page! Where has this year gone? Don't forget to pop along to Kate's blog  and Julias blog to add yours to the lists.

August isn't fully stuck down yet as I am getting a new car, hence the car shaped journalling spot. I don't know when I will get it but it is on its way and should be here Friday/Saturday so I don't want to stick it down in the wrong place.

Poppy Design Team Card

My most recent Design Team projects for IndigoBlu were on the telly on Create and Craft on Sunday, it was such a fab show. My favourite card example that I created is this one

For the card I used the brand spanking new Poppy stamp coloured with letraset Aqua Markers. For the journalling I used a super fine Uni pen in size 0.05. They are water and fade proof and perfect for journalling, as you might guess I like to write on everything to give it that personal touch! The sewing is deliberately done wiggly, this takes out the pressure of ruining your hard work on the focal image as it is done last.

The journalling around the image is the famous poem by John McCrae, In Flanders Fields and reads

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

Thanks for reading. Hope everyone has a fabulous week

WOYWW

What's on my desk today? Well not my desk but the floor, I have had this huge box full of paper forever and have decided that its time it gets used up. So I have dragged it out and plan on making it empty over the next few month's

My fellah went to London this past weekend to visit family and go to the big Farnborough air show, he brought me back this photo he took, isn't it cool!
