Artsy Crafts - rusty relic magic!

Hi Bloggers!
Not had chance to get to the mac this week to update the blog on the fab time that I had at Artsycrafts on Sunday.  I could only make one of the three days that Leandra and Lin were running but what a day!  Crafting just about solidly from 8.30 in the morning to 5pm at night.  I met some wonderful people (Sharon - Artist Trading post and Rachel and Janet who were on my table - stay in touch ladies!)  We made a 'rusty relic' which involved sssssooooo many techniques from painting to working with clay, to making image transfers  to rusting  and lots (and I mean lots) of wire work!  This is the end result.  Thanks to Leandra and Lin - I had a fab time!



Very busy at the moment prepping for new classes and have a lot of commissions for cards which I need to get finished in the next couple of weeks, as well as making all the cards for the craft fairs that I have stalls at!  Its a good job the rain is keeping me inside in my craft room!  :-)

Bye for now!

June Journal page

Hi Bloggers!  Well below is my June journal page.  I actually finished this well before June (very pleased with myself!) but have not had chance to post it until now as I have been on holiday in Devon which was lovely.

I found this image of the ice cream van in a magazine a while ago and wanted to use it in one of the Summer months' journal pages (although it is June I am sat here writing this with a scarf on and freezing!).  The background was made using Dylusion sprays and they were run down the page which reminded me a bit of dripping ice cream - hence the use of the ice cream van this month.  In hindsight I probably should have gone with red, white and blue to mark the jubilee celebrations but never mind :-).  Have made my own modifications to the ice cream van as you can see!  Enjoy!
