Clarity stamp Challenge 6

 I received this birdhouse shaped key holder in the Monster Monday birthday box I bought from Paperartsy on Monday. The box arrived Thursday and I couldn't wait to start playing. Really enjoyed making this piece of wall art.

I'd like to enter this for claritystamp challenge 6 Animals.

Seaside scene for Claritystamp challenge

My very first Beach scene:)  Colours are a bit bright I was too heavy handed with the shading. But maybe I'll improve with practise:)


I'd like to enter this for "Oh I do like to be beside the seaside".

Claritystamp challenge 3

I made this card for my husband:)  It's our 29th wedding anniversary this month....don't know how he's put up with me all these years! 

The splodgy background was a happy accident due to a blocked mini mister!

Clarity Stamp Challenge 2 - In the Garden

I'd like to enter "In Bloom" for the challenge over on 

Clarity Stamp Challenge 2

In Bloom was created using a Gelli plate background. The lupin stamp is from Clarity new design club.  Lupins in the background stamped with Versafine Onyx black + coloured with Promarkers. The Lupins on 3D foam were stamped onto a Twinkling H2o's background, love the way they shimmer:)

Craft room is now totally trashed, looks like it's been vandalised so I think I'll tidy up a little bit:) 

Lily stamped and paper-pieced.

I'm having fun playing with stamps and inks once again:) I've kept this card simple by stamping the image several times on various card and scrapbook paper and layering the pieces.

Port Sunlight stamp festival

Yesterday was HSNW stamp show. I got my tickets weeks ago, then on Friday my dad died suddenly. I decided to go to the show anyway, but I wondered around in a bit of a daze. Didn't buy much at all and even came home with cash (which was a shock!)

It was lovely to meet up with friends, the hugs were very much appreciated. I didn't break down in tears as I thought. When I spoke to Jennie from The Artistic Stamper, she told me that I had probably done my crying and grieving already. And she was right. Watching dad waste away with various forms of Altzheimers was soul destroying. His death was a blessing, but it was such a shock.

Anyway, I did pick up a few stamps at the show which I had no intention of buying....just couldn't resist them!. I fell in love with Jennie's new stamp designs so watch this space for eye candy in the next few days. I'll need to keep busy for the next week or so until the funeral. here's a link to Jennie's blog with links to her website and other fun sites:)
