art girl box

I've had so much fun with my

The Stamping Queen

DT pack this month

using these gorgeous Paperbag Studio Stamps has been lovely.

This is a little box I've made using this fabulous PBS stamp

I stamped it onto a ScrapFX jigsaw

then Mounted it on top of the box

I Inked the box, and when that ink was dry I rubbed some VersaMark Watermark ink around the sides and top, and then lightly sprinkled some black embossing powder, giving the box a little bit of a 'grungy' look.

TSQ bits I used were, PBS Rubber Stamp, ScrapFX jigsaw,Collections word, little clip from the Collections Clipboard set, German Scrap Border, Printed Paper.

Well our School Holidays finish this week, I'll miss the kids being at home with me, it's been such a lovely time, My eldest starts highschool this week, so it'll be an exciting time for him, can't believe he's headed for highschool already......

Anyway hope everyone is having a lovely weekend, take care :)

I've had some lovely mail :)

Just wanted to show you what I got in the mail today :)

I was so thrilled to win this on

Jeri Aaron's blog

She was celebrating her 100th post.

(Well Done again Jeri)

and it arrived today....YAY...

Thankyou so much Jeri,

I just love your ART and am delighted to have some of it come and live with me :)

I feel really blessed to have won these sweet treasures.

Altered Jewelry Fun :)

This is another Design Team Project I've made for

The Stamping Queen

Using the Scrumptious Stamp I used in my last card I made a couple of posts down.

it's a PBS stamp 'Companionship PBS040'

Isn't that face adorable....

I stamped the image onto a page from my Vintage Dictionary using Versa Fine Black ink, then mounted the little circle onto a piece of cardstock, then assembled the 'pendant'

The necklace is backed with this lovely metal stamping

(if anyone knows where I can get some more of these particular metal stampings could they please email me) I then tied a piece of Silk Embroidery Ribbon into a bow, added the chain and Glass Pearls and I was left with a feeling of complete satisfaction :)

Sharing some of my creative journey :)

So my little Creative Journey is still enjoying a little

Jewelry Playtime at the moment

and ofcourse my Blog is a collection, & a journal of the things I make

So here's what I do....

I take little Vintage Treasures and Re-create with them :)

From Vintage Chandelier Crystals, to Vintage Skeleton Keys

it doesn't matter to me, as long as it's got a little bit of history

and is an interesting shape, or just looks Gorgeous.

Many of the beads I use, are really old, like the black bugle beads and the orange ones, they are vintage Japanese Glass beads from the 40-50s...

and I seem to have an addiction for brass at the moment, probably because many of these old beads are threaded onto brass findings..

So Anyway, this is the new camera, I know I've still got to work a little more on my use of it..

but so far it seems ok to use :)

Thanks heaps for taking the time to look at my work :)

The Camera Dilema is almost over...

I have a new camera :)

now I just have to learn how to drive it...

Hope you are all having a Fabulous weekend,

we are still enjoying our school holidays here,

I love this time of the year

6 weeks seems to fly by so quickly

we always plan to do so much, and before you know it

the holidays are nearly over....

We appologise for this break in Transmission

We are however trying to rectify the problem...

my camera has died.... :(

Playing with a new stamp :)

I made this card with some of my DT pack from
