pink feathers altered notebook

Hiya, how you doing ?
Hope you are managing to stay dry
with all this never ending rain.....

I have a real thing about altering notebooks right now.
Ever since we did some at the
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun days
with Kath, Anne & Debbi.

This one is a gift for someone very special.
The stamps are Hero Art's and I have loved
them since I first saw them at the
last GJWHF day in Perth.

The tag is also the book mark.

I love the sentiment, but I do wish
they didn't have the lines around the words.

The front cover.

So this must be the back.....
the wee made by Teen stamp
was made just for me
by the Beautiful Sammi.
( thank you chickie!)

I am nae sure about the letter B.
It was brown card that I heat
embossed with a pearl powder.

happy girls haven fun!

Happiness for me on Saturday
was spending the day crafting at the
"Girls just wanna have fun" day,
with Debbi, Anne & Kath.

Here are my makes.

Debbi's promarkers session.
A pen pot holder and a notebook covered.

We had the option to colour
the wee pearls, but as Debz said....
It was our notebook! !
LOL.

The second workshop for me
was the majestic grunge bag!

It was senciled and cotton shapes applied.

I have never done anything like this,
and bought two bags to try it at home.
I made the corners a bit more muddy
than I wanted but loved the end product.

And last but not least.
A Tim Holtz Home sweet home canvas.

If you get a chance to attend a day organised
by these three amazing ladies then jump at it!


Now my lovely happy girls.

Poppy is nearly always so serious!

And Bella.....
not so much so.....
she chewed my glasses on Saturday,
and a dog lead chewed through today.....

*sigh*
It is just a stage,
it is just a stage...........

Wednesday all day.

I can't believe that my two weeks
annual leave from work is almost over.
It has been a busy two weeks
and I could use another two
weeks to get all I need done.

A few makes to share...

This notebook cover using tilda
is my take on a sketch by Dawny P
for Just Magnolia.

The main papers are Bo Bunny & a
wee bit of basic grey from my scrap box.

~~~~~T~~~~~

My card uses the same image,
I don't own this stamp but
it is one of my favorites.

I am entering it in colour throwdown
who want red, pumpkin and olive.
It is also my take on another Dawny P's
sketch this time from over at Papertake weekly.
I am also entering it in
my time to craft
who want it looks like Autumn.
The backing papers are
downloads that I forgot I had.


~~~~~T~~~~~

This card is for a friend who wants
it for a good friend on hers.

It is Stella from Bugaboo
I made the 'Me' background,
it is a standing joke between the
two girls.

I am entering it in a spoonful of sugar
who want spots and stripes.

~~~~~T~~~~~

Wednesday is Puppy Class night,
Bella is not as keen as Poppy
is to participate at class.
When Andrew appears Bella
sits and cries and wont do anything
but run over and sit at his side.

She is smart, but thrawn,
and does what she wants,
when she wants.....

Mind you, they both know
they are not meant to go
up on the sofa after being out
in the rain..........

*sigh*

Notes and Kisses

Monday already,
I am on leave from work for two weeks
and have little planed except
catching up on odd jobs.

And a wee bit of crafting!

The photo of this notebook is not
very good but it is in the post
so I can't take another one.

Another notebook as part
of a collection of stuff for a
Birthday Pressie.
It is my pal Sue's dog in the picture
I used online thingy again
to turn a photo into a sketch.

I also made ten note cards
using the same sketch picture.
They are all simple but slightly different.

And lastly a card for my hubby.
It is our 16th Wedding Anniversary this week.
Not your usual card,
but has quotes from my fave film Twilight.
The image is Pixie dust the same as
Edward from the notebook above.


I am entering it in two challenges.
Pixie dust want fur or feathers.
Secret Crafter say anything goes.

Talking about love......
How sweet are these two???

They really do love each other
as only sisters can.....

They fall out and bicker,
want the same toy at the same time
and yet ....
they can be so sweet together.

Hope you are grand.

Love teen xx

stuff and bits.

Holla!
Hope things are all good with you guys,
things are ok here.

Few makes to show you,
this was from a sketch,
but I took so long between thinking
about it, and actually doing it,
that the challenge has passed
and I can't even mind who set the
sketch in the first place!!

Anyway....

I got a bit carried away with inking the
edges and I love these papers,
think they are basic grey.

~~~~~T~~~~~

This is an altered notebook,
using a Sugar Nellie Autumn stamp
which is on offer as a set just now.
I have added the persons name,
but don't want to show it on here
since I still haven't posted it yet....

I am entering it in three challenges....

Creative card crew,
A spoonful of sugar,
Allsorts,
who all want autumnal colours.

~~~~~T~~~~~

Lastly an easel card for a man at work
to give to his daughter.
The dog is actually Poppy.
I used a sketch thingy online to
used to alter a photo of her.
The papers are Bo Bunny.

Talking of Poppy.....
Here she is with her wee Pal Bella,
in their nice new bed.
Also known as their play pen....

Bella is a smidge taller and longer than Poppy now....
And still growing....

Love to you all.

Babes and Blooms

You know what it is like....
you make a few cards,
some you like....
and some not so much....


This one I do like.
Lady at work is very prompt with
keeping her filing up to date
and called the file fairy by
her co-workers.
She is also very fit.

So this was for her.....

This one I am very unsure of.
I have seen similar cards
with the paper cut into squares
and stuck in the pattern below.

The paper is Bo Bunny,
and more busy than I usually use,
But I think it looks sort of ok.
The flower is cut from Tim Holts die.

This one is using a down load called Stella
from Bugaboo, I love them!

Stella with a different hair colour!
LOL

Now for another couple of babes....
My wee brown eyed girls.
Bella managed to get into the
recycling box, where my Hubby
had put the empty sacks
the dog biscuits come in....

This took her about twenty minuets....

She also stole the plant from the table
and replanted it,
in several bits,
in a nice deep hole....

Bella is 6 months old,
and now just a wee bit taller
and longer than Poppy!

Am pretty tired today,
Andrew was on a night shift,
Poppy woofed at 1.30am
to let me know that she had scared
off the scary monster....

Bella woke me at 6am by poking Andrews
touch bedside lamp with her nose
and switching it on and off,
and on and off,

Like a disco!!!

*yawn*

Hope you are all well.

Love Teen xx

Tuesday mutters....

I am hating blogger tonight!
I published this post earlier this evening,
came back to check on something,
and discovered the text had
all disappeared!!!



First card is a never ending card.
You can see one in action
by LOTV here.


It starts here...

opens into this....

And then into this....

and ends up opening into this....

It can stand alone like this too.

I used Stampin Up and SeeD stamps.
the papers were all from my scrap box.

A lovely fellow crafter at work,
who I altered this notebook for,
showed me how to do this type of card,
and brought this notebook and images in
for me! Thank you !
( I know she has my blog address!)

I love how the hair and pig tails have
been decoupaged.

~~~~~T~~~~~

This card is for another lady at work,
her new baby Granddaughter
Ami was born yesterday!

I may have O'd on the gingham,
but I love it on baby cards!
The rabbit is a Cotton Bunny
from Sugar Nellie.


~~~~~T~~~~~



The next card is a challenge card
for One Stop Crafters Challange.
who want some distressing....
Blogger loosing all my text is
distressing me!!!

The flowers are See D stamps,
the text is my new Penny Black.
I have added the person's name to it,
but not sure if she reads my blog,
and since I only posted this today,
she might see it before it gets to her.

FINALLY!

I LOVED the new Twilight film,
saw Eclipse on Saturday and
want to go and see it again now!
It was the best of all three films.
But not sure what the stylists have
done with the Vampires hair!!!
Jasper had various styles
from a 80's shaggy perm...
to a blow dry and set!

But my boys were as gorgeous as ever!

Much love and vampire kisses....
Teen xx

too much to do.

I have done few things today,
to be honest I had so many
things that needed doing,
I wish I had more time to spend
on all the things I made.
Just how it is I guess eh...
Anyway.
First up.
This is for the Sugar Nellie Sketch.
and also Colour Create ~ baby pink & pastel blue.

These four note cards are for part of my
sister's birthday pressie.

This is for a friend at work....

I am entering it in
Allsorts Strawberries & Cream.
This drove me nuts! LOL.
I coloured the image in three times.
Luckily I had four copies of it
that I got in an image swap.


This is for a work mate
who's DIL has just had
a second daughter.
Matilda now has a wee sister
called Lydia.

This was something for my living room!
I love this picture so much.
It looks like the base paper is
really squint but it is not in real life.
Apologies for bad photo's
it is awful here today.

The above piece is A4 size and in a frame.
This wee one is a Thank you card
and much smaller.

Hope you are all fine.
Am trying to get to grips with
new net book and keep
making spelling mistakes
with tiny keypad.
I realized I signed a few blog posts
Love Tuna the other day.

Ach well.
