A simple welcome home tag

Hello again...

yes I am catching up on my posting aren't I? It is awful outside so I decided to sort my pictures and post on my blog so people know what I have been up to. Family and friends always ask me what I have been up to in my crafting room. This is why I started this blog. So they can see what I create. As they only normally get to see the things I send them, and not to others hahahaha.

Well here a photo of a tag I made for our neighbours who came back from France, I tend to their mail and plants when they are away...

I think this is my favourite technique with Tim Holtz's distress ink......wrinkle free distress....

 

Well I am off to my craft room again as various ideas are in my head and need to get out....

 

Take care,

Altered calendar

Dear reader,

Last year I made a backing for my calendar, the starbucks inspired one. My mom loved that and now asked me to alter a calendar for her. She is crazy about the kingfisher so it had to be that.
It was a bit hard as I find it difficult to create something "on demand". I prefer to create as I go but it is hard to say no to mom....

So here the background for the calendar I created....

 

The weather, and therefor the daylight, is so dreary that the colours do not come out nice on the picture. But you get the gist of it.

 

This now hangs proudly in my parents bathroom.......

 

Take care and until net time..

tag to cheer a friend up...

dear blogger,

I made a tag for a friend who I think could use a little pick me up. so I decided to send her one. I made it using little stickers she gave me a while ago. butterflies, flowers and whatnot and I made it into a colourful tag as she is a very colourful person.

I used the stamps from Ranger by Dyan Reavely as she is quite colourful too hahahaha.

Hope you liked it Megan!!

tea or coffee anyone?

Dear bloggers,

I little while ago I got this cute die and I finally found time to use it. I made a card for someone to invite them over for a cup of java. The tag turned out quite sweet.

 And of course I had to use some of my utee creations......

Take care and I'll be back soon...

Mannequin tag

Hello dear Blogger,

in this post I want to share a tag I made using the Sewing Room die by Tim Holtz for Sizzix. It is the first time I used the big one and not the movers and shapers mannequin.

I am quite pleased with it as it is rather elegant.

Enjoy!

 

Take care and hopefully until next time.

Creative juices flowing again

Hello again dear bloggers,

I do not know why or how, but my creativity is pouring out of me at the moment. One tag after another is created. I have discovered a new technique..... a scrapbook tag. I make tags with small pictures in them. I did that before, but always used paper stash pictures or vintage photos I bought. But now I just print out small photos of the people I make the tags for. I love the results!

If you like, let me know what you think. As always I made sure the privacy of the people is guarded.....

 

 

 

 

I love how they turned out. I am working on some other projects and will share them as soon as possible!!

 

Take care and enjoy the spring!!

Take care and until next time!

Getting to know the melting pot.......

Hello again bloggers,

I treated myself to the ranger melting pot to pour molds and such. I have been playing with it and I would like to share the results with you.

I made this mold with mold 'n pour and an acorn charm of a charm bracelet. It looks quite cute.

Again mold 'n pour, this time a leaf.

The mold once the leaf is removed....

 

 

 A silicone mold for different size of roses.

 

 Various flowers

 

After I painted some of them......

 

Left over UTEE poured on my craft sheet and then stamped. Makes cool embellishments.

 

The cutest cupcake!!!!!!!!!

 

Various embellishments I poured in pewter and bronze UTEE. Then aged them with paint. I love this look.

 

As soon as I have created more I will of course share them with you!

 

Take care and I will be back soon.
