Here is my Tag for May using the techniques that Tim used on his blog this month. I would also like to thank Mario for sending me a lovely set of stamps, I 'won' them for linking into last months tag.
This a my double page journal pages for Vicki's "open the page" CJ. We had to open the page of the book we were reading at the time of receiving the CJ and choose a sentence from the page a create using it. I have been reading 'One Day' by David Nicholls and this sentence leapt off the page at me: Thanks for looking.
This week Sarah's tutorial on using and making stencils for our pages gave me the opportunity to use one of the stencils from a book I have by Ed Roth.
It was a little on the big side for the page but it gave me the opportunity to play with doodles and fit some journalling as well. The stars around the edge were made by using a cappuccino stencil!
A few months ago Kay had a BIG clear out in her craft room and was upcycling some of her wooden stamps. She challenged a group of us to make a chunky ATC, I eventually finished mine last week. Here it is to prove that it was done!
Stage 1
Lots of cogs embossed and added.
The little dolls head I found in a collectors fair a while ago and it was just a perfect fit on top of the stamp block. I did use rather a lot of embossing powder! Thanks for looking.
I have been scrapbooking for a long time. Our first family scrapbook dates back 100 years!!!
Another hobby I enjoy is photography I enjoy using my Canon Digital SLR and I also carry my small digital camera everywhere.
I have been married to Colin for 43 years!
We have 2 grown up daughters and a beautiful 13 year old granddaughter, who is the subject of many of my layouts.
I am also the legal guardian of Bongo!
