The Final Touches

Hi Everyone,

Today we are putting the final touches to my craft area so as soon as we are done I will show you some pics. The hope is I will have a card making area and an altered art area to work in as I do need more work space. I am praying everything still fits on the shelves we are putting up but you know what us crafters are like.......... WE JUST NEVER HAVE ENOUGH!

I am going to share a couple of samples I made for Personal Impressions recently that were shown on Hochanda when Linda was demonstrating. I can't describe how excited I was for Linda and seeing my makes on TV. I am truly blessed to design for PI as I have been taken out of my comfort zone by not having a choice of products. I look forward to receiving my box of goodies so I can push myself a little further.

All the pictures here are using products available at Personal Impressions

This is my gorgeous grandchildren, daughter and son in law.

The speech bubbles are stamped with stamps from PI and the heart is stenciled with Tim Holtz stencil and distress ink

This little drinking jar has sparkly peel off letters and gold bling

This wedding card again uses lovely sparkly peel off letters along with Sweet Dixie Dies, white card and gold organza ribbon

Thanks for dropping by today

I'll be back soon (I promise!)

Love Gill xx

Working With Inks

Hi Everyone

Hope you have had a great weekend. I went on a nice long walk around my local park with my daughter, grandson and some new friends yesterday. The weather is so lovely in Liverpool at the moment it is like spring. We are so lucky where we are because we seem to be sheltered from all the bad weather..

Of course I also got lots of crafting in. My mentor and friend Linda Simpson from PI and Linda's crafty piece of heaven has really encouraged me to try new techniques and I am loving using inks and stencils on canvas and other medium to make altered art projects. Here is my weekend make for you.

I used memento and Tim Holtz ink on the background. I stenciled with CWS stencils using ink and Modge Podge sparkly glue. I then finished with a mannequin , some flowers and a bit of bling. I am so happy with the results

Don't forget you can also check out my work on the Personal Impressions Blog
