Long time ....

but I haven't been doing much successful crafting - did treat myself to some Nellie's dies and been playing - my daughters tell me the resulting cards are a bit 'old fashioned' - but I like them.
Just tried something a bit different to ATC's - hearts will load them (if I can!!) An ATC frind did some of these and when I commented how lovely they were she sent me a template - so these are a la JoanneR - thanks Joan!

 

A small cheat!

I still have problems stamping onto acetate - so stamped silhouette onto alcohol ink background - and it worked!! Hopeing to do some more for a Curls and Swirls swap.

 

Just figured out ...

How to read the comments!! (I know - its a shame isn't it!!!) Meant to say the pic of Gracie is from 6 months ago when she came from the pound complete with bite marks, scars from beatings and exzema!!Poor old girl - she's turned out to be pure delight, gentle, well mannered and not much bother (until she decides she doesn't know her name!) Like all hounds she cocks a deaf ear when she's running! You're right Clare - she's big - I went for a small companion and came home with this lovely lady instead!. Still figuring out links thing be back soon with cards and ATC which are works in progress!

My Friend Gracie!

 

Testing...!

 
These are some of a 'Time' series I've done with micas and a great U-Mount staamp set - will be doing more of these using different techniques (when I've learned the techniques!!)

 

Enjoying playing with the paler alcohol inks - love this stamp which was a birthday gift from an ATC friend.

Happy New Year Everyone!!

Managed to put my first message into the wrong page!! Trust me - Won't be doing regular posting - only when I've something new to show - but want to have a go at uploading pics - so here are some ATC's recently made! Just learned how to colour with ordinary crayons and Sansodor - think the l;ittle bear came out well! J
