One slice or two?

Morning lovelies.....hope you're all well!

Something different to share today....well, I would share if there was some

 left.........but we ate it all lol! My fav meal right now is a big bowl of homemade

 veg soup and a slice (or two) from a homemade white crusty farmhouse loaf...

...mmmmmm, delicious! We bought a breadmaker a little while ago & love it....

..it's so easy, just chuck in all the ingredients, switch it on.....& then while

 it's baking I get to go sit at my desk and play lol. 

Thanks for calling......hope you manage some crafty time today!

Steampunk book page

Morning crafty bloggers.....hope you're all well!

Ooh, it's a bit breezy & wet today......and I was gonna spend the morning in 

the garden too.....oh well, might just have to shut myself in my craft room

instead........after the jobs are done of course (wink wink) lol!

Today I have a book page to share.....5x5 & the theme was Steampunk.

I started with a base of Dylusion spray inks, they are soooo nice...I used a

bottle top to stamp random circles with mica paints. I brushed the same paint

over a Tim Holtz weathered clock die cut, Cheery Lynn die cut cogs &

the die cut wings. The mannequin is from Craftwork cards & covered with a

layer of crackle paint, I then added die cut wings, a cheesecloth

skirt & a chain belt....added a gem to the centre of the cogs & that's it!

The left side was left plain as that's where the holes are to be punched to

hold the book together. Rightio, that's my lot for today.....off to go grab a

cuppa & have a wander around Blogland...thanks for calling....see you soon!

Fancy Folds with Crafty Calendar!

Morning lovelies.......hope you're all well & have something nice planned

for the weekend! Bright & very breezy here today so methinks I'll be

ploughing through the mountains of washing I always seem to have!

First though, I have some exciting news...........myself & Sue are now the

 proud co-owners of  the Crafty Calendar challenge blog! Lynne, the previous

owner had decided to step down due to ill health & rather than close the blog

she very generously handed over the reins to us two!

So today sees the start of June's challenge, the theme is FANCY FOLDS

and we're sponsored by the fabulous Aurora Wings who are offering a

prize of  $15 to spend instore..........you will be soooo spoilt for choice!

We were lucky enough to receive a sponsor image, I chose Turtle Kiss &

after colouring her with my Copics I made an easel card, I added lots of die 

cuts, distressed layers, cheesecloth, pearls, some paper flowers & finished

with some chit chat stickers from Tim Holtz.

Rightio, my friends, that's me for today.......thanks for calling & whatever

 you're up to......have a lovely weekend!

Sharing an Oldie Friday!

Morning friends......hope you're all well.

I've really missed my craft room this past week or two and I'm so sorry

for my lack of commenting, posting etc............life's thrown me a few

 curveballs recently & I've realised (again) how quickly things can change.

But you know what? I still have a lot to be thankful for & I'm sure once 

things start to settle down I'll find my peace at my craft desk.

So for today I'm joining in with lovely Erika over at Snappycrafts as

she hosts the weekly look back at older crafty creations. I started out as a

papercrafting as a scrapbooker  & this card was one of my very early

attempts at card making......and I still kinda like it lol. No stamping & 

colouring involved, just some simple decoupage, a peel off sentiment &

some ribbons. Rightio my friends, I'm gonna leave it at that for today but

I'll be back tomorrow for the new challenge over at Crafty Calendar.

Thanks for calling.......see you soon!
