CRAFTLANDIA MONTHLY CHALLENGE

 Hi Peeps - long time, no speak eh ?  I'm doing OK and my chemo numb fingers are getting much better :-D

I have played around with a journal page, using up an old diary,  to enter the latest CRAFTLANDIA MONTHLY CHALLENGE #7 where the theme is The SEA and the Sponsor is GECKO GALZ.

I have used " UNDER THE SEA " backing paper by SPYDER, " SEAHORSE " from the "SEA LIFE 12 piece Set" by me at IKEsART, a SeaShell Border by MY SCRAP CHICK, a saucy lady from GECKO GALZ - TATTOO SUMMER Craft Kit and two images from GECKO GALZ - NAUTICAL 1 & 2 decoupage pages.

I've got something else I'm working on too so I will be back again later :-D

Thank you for popping in.

xoxo

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS FOR MIA

Good morning Peeps,

I have taken a break from house painting to show 2 cards I have made to join in with Mia's upcoming Birthday celebrations.

You can find Mia and her wonderful creations over at CRAFTARTISTA.

The first one is made using a butterfly cutting file. It was a bit of a pain but after changing blades it cut just fine.  The backing papers are from my stash.

This 2nd one is actually a card kit I bought from CuP.  It was really fiddly to put together and takes a shedload of ink because all the pieces have to be printed twice to give it the strength. Afterwards I added some glaze to the butterflies to make them shiny. 

I must admit, I wasn't as in love with it after I had made it than when I first saw it and bought the printout kit :-(  It will probably be the one and only time I make it !

Anyway - I am now painting inside the house.  I got 3 toning colours for the lounge and expected to be finished by now, but the paint I bought is absolute shiiiiiiiiite and gives no coverage and am having to put 2 coats on each time.   I mean - how can dark grey NOT cover beige in 1 coat !!????  

I am sooo frustrated and pee'd off that I am NOT doing any more painting today in disgust !!!

On a brighter note - the dyeing of the leather sofas is going well. I've done the 2 seater and it looks FAB. I am only hoping that the colour is not going to all crisp up and flake off !    Well - they are old and this was a bit of a money saver and they were going to be thrown out anyway, so let's see how they behave :-) 

So - I am off now to calm myself down and maybe mess around with some crafty bits and bobs - that will make me smile I am sure :-)

Thanks for popping in xx

I don't often use my own digis as I like to support other people and my  IKEsWORLD CHALLENGES DT do such a wonderful job colouring and creating with my schtuff :-D

The main base for this card is made with a Mandala from the wonderful MIA at CRAFTARTISTA which she very kindly gave for FREE on her Blog HERE  :-)
