gonna be all white ?

I am a bit of a messy crafter. 

So nothing but white on a card,

means no where to hide mistakes. 

But I had a go after seeing the 

Ribbon Girl Blogs November Challenge. 

I actually think this may be the first 

white on white card I have ever finished! 

Enjoy the rest of your weekend. x

A bit of a sketch.....

I saw this sketch  

that Beckie had done

for Ruby Rock It

over on her facebook page. 

And I thought I would give it a go.

Not sure now it has all the elements it is meant to have.

But I am pleased with the end card. 

The ribbon with the charm hanging on it , 

was meant to tie across as the 

bigger butterfly and semi circle

opened out.... 

but it gave the card a bit topple problem...

So I  ended up sticking it down onto the card. 

Hope you are fine

almost a year .....

So more than a year has past, 
and so much has changed. 

In three weeks it will be a year 
since my beloved Dad died. 

Just nine short months after we lost my Mam.

I kinda had nothing to say. 

So I am back now. 

And hoping to keep on top of things. 

hope you are all ok xx

pens, pots and naughty pups....

Well, I know it's been a while, 

And to be honest, this new blogger layout is

driving me nuts!!!

Anyhooo.....

Two makes, 

pen collection and some naughty pups!

Just my ususal! 

 

I have returned to a creative writing group, 

and decided to jazz up a plain kraft A4 folder.

One of the ladies who goes there loved my folder,

so I did one for her. 

I really loved the black heat embossed

 powder on the purple vellum butterflies.

Question.....

How do you store your promarkers?

My latest way, is in small colour groups, in pots in a box. 

Still not perfect but seems the best I have tried so far.

And lastly.....

I was downloading the camera my hubby normally uses....

And discovered this......

 

She has never done this before.....

Well not as far as I know!

 

Butter wouldn't melt.... *sigh*

Hope you are all grand,

Love Teen xx

three ladies

I never did get pictures on here
from the four days
of Girls Just Want To Have Fun.

But two of the "ladies" below were from
the third and fourth days I think.

The one on the square box with
the three bobbins with pink, green & blue
thread was made with the kit I bought on the day.

I have so many half finished projects in my room,
I am trying my best to get some of them finished.

Thank you to everyone who asked
how Miss Bella Boo was after
she hurt her paw.

As you can see she is all better,
and back to being as cheeky as ever!

Here she is, enjoying some luxury treats.

Not sure she is very keen on sharing....

But Poppy will not be one to miss out!

Hope you are grand,
Love Teen xx

What's on My Workdesk Wednesday

Crikey, Wednesday already.
So what's on my workdesk?
Well, I started off with a scrap
of paper, brown, cream, black and red
with butterflies on that I really liked....
I played around with a stamp set
using inks in similar colours....

Thought about making a card,
so coloured a sugar nellie girl,
but then realised there was
no cream in it and too much grey.

And so she ended up on the side
of an altered coffee creamer tin....

I am trying to colour the lid
with alcohol inks,
not sure if I am getting anywhere fast....


So it is now another work in progress...
*sigh*



Bella Boo is now almost mended.
Her paw is nicely healed,
and she is away for her first swim in
weeks to celebrate!

I put the dog bed outside while I hoovered
the living room......

And discovered this....

The other bundle of trouble
is in the dog house today.
She ran out the side gate
and spend twenty minutes
flirting with a handsome Alsatian.

Hope you are grand

sick as a dog

I made these hangers yesterday,
and had planned to go to
the craft shop and get some more
to make for pressies,
but woke up this morning
as sick as a dog!

So no more hangers to be made this week.

This one is painted with a base coat of
Anne Sloan chalk paint,
which is just a treat to use.

And this one,
is stained using Tim Holtz inks.
The ink ended up looking
green rather than the blue it is
if you use it on paper.
But I liked it anyway.

The main stamp under the sentiment
is a penny black that I found,
after it was long lost
in the midden
formally known as my craft area....

The idea is based on a project from the last
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun day,
which was so much fun.

well...
Hope you are all doing good this Monday xx

Love Teen xx
