About Me

Welcome to my blog

I started this blog in April 2012 so I could join Challenges. I am now on some design teams. I hope you like my cards. I started stamping in 1995 but my cards are still mostly cute.
Thank you to those who have joined as followers and to those who comment.
Unfortunately because of spammers I have had to put moderation on the comments. I will approve them as soon as possible, this also means I don't miss any.
I don't always get a chance to reply to all comments but I read them all when I approve them and I really appreciate you taking the time to give your comment.
The lovely banner was made especially for me by Amanda at Faery Ink Art & Design when I won her first blog challenge. 2025 - Now due to my sore hands and bad eyes I make mostly digital cards and scrapbook pages.

More Mixed Media - anything mixed media with the option of black

More Mixed Media - anything mixed media with the option of black - use a little or a lot
http://moremixedmediachallenge.blogspot.com/


I painted journal page with black gesso.  Painted white paint through large star stencil, and used white gell pen through small stars stencil.  Sprayed with Dylusions inky spray.  Added glitter.  Printed picture & sentiment from Princess Sassy Pants, cut out and layered on top.  Added punched flowers.

The sentiment says the following:

Feeling a Little Boo?
Not sure what you want &
Feeling a little batty too?

Know somethings brewing
but you're not sure
witch way is right?

LET IT GO!
AND COUNT YOUR
BLESSINGS TONIGHT.

I hope you will go over and see the lovely work by the design team and join in the challenge.

Outlawz Sunday Songs and Rhymes - Don't go breaking my heart

Outlawz Sunday Songs and Rhymes
http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/group/sunday-clean-and-simple/forum/topics/sunday-songs-rhymes-for-the-week-of-november-4th-2018

This week Lynn picked the song Don't go breaking my heart

Don't go breaking my heart
I couldn't if I tried
Honey if I get restless
Baby you're not that kind
Don't go breaking my heart
You take the weight off me
Honey when you knock on my door
I gave you my key


I have used paper, sentiment and precoloured elements from Digital Scrapbooking Studio Gloomy Days by Magical Scraps Galore.

I hope you will go over and see the lovely work by the design team and join in the challenge.  You can use whatever you like that fits the song.

I followed the sketch at Try Stampin' or Not on Tuesday challenge No 383 so I would like to add my card to that challenge:
