Awesome

Hello and welcome to my blog. I hope you are safe and well. Today I'm sharing with you my latest page created for this months challenge on Facebook at Corbett Creations. 

The requirements for the challenge are -

Use the Words - Lose Yourself

Colour - Green

Paint/Ink Splatters

1 4X6 Photo

1 Wood Veneer

This is my eldest son Riley taken some years ago. He just loves music and plays different instruments. So far he has played the piano, keyboard, guitar and the alto saxophone and the baritone saxophone which is his favorite out of the two saxes. He would now dearly love to learn how to play the  Hurdy Gurdy now. If you google it and listen it sounds fantastic. Maybe one day he will but right now it's his VCE that is most on his mind.

  

For the splats I have used both the ink (green) and the paint (Black)

The words I have used against the photo and also in my journaling.

The title Awesome is my wood Veneer and I painted it white.

Awesome You

Hello crafty friends and welcome to my blog. Happy Easter and I hope you are enjoying it even though we are in isolation. 

Today I'm sharing a page I created for this months challenge over on Facebook at 

Whats In The Bickie Tin. The three requirements for this challenge are -

The colour yellow

Misting

Embossing

As you can see i have used the colour yellow and I have used a spray to mist in the background also in yellow. I used that same spray ink to ink the edges of the paper and also Sprayed some extra behind the photo to allow it to be able to run down the page. 

 

The products I used are -

White and yellow Card stock

 KaiserCraft Stamped Words

Chippies

TCW Stencil

Archival Ink - Black

Distress Ink

Graphic 45 Pattered Papers

Embossing Powder

Glue Stick

Copic Pen - Black

Distress Spray Stain - Mustard Seed

I have included a music note and the title so you can see closeup how I created them.

 For the title -

I coloured it with a black Copic. I then covered it with clue from a glue stick and the sprinkled it with embossing powder. As normal I then heated it with my heat gun until it was melted. This gives the separated, bubbly look with embossing powder. You are then able to see the colour behind the embossing power which in this case is the black Copic. 

Music notes -

I did the same with the music notes with a slight difference. I first embossed normally with yellow and the used the glue stick with gold embossing powder over the top. 

 

Thank you so much for stopping in. I hope you like my page and the different technique for embossing. I hope that you are staying safe.

One Of A Kind

Hello and and welcome to my blog. We are faced with a pandemic that is braking hearts and worrying everyone right now. I hope you, your family and friends are all safe.

Because I suffer with depression also I have no immune system because of my cancer treatment I'm finding it mentally hard right now but I'm wrapping my thoughts as much as I can in my boys and my craft. I also keep in contact with friends via phone and internet with a couple of friends dropping things off for us and we wave and blow kisses out the window with a yelled out "I love you and thanks" This is my world and life at the moment and I'm guessing many of you are the same. 

Now for my Design Team page for this month challenge over on Facebook at

The photo is of Riley inside the frame of a cubby house that Grandma was making for both the boys. Just a place for them to get out of the weather for their snacks and drinks outside.

Wonderful You

Hello and welcome to my blog. I hope that you are in good health and staying safe. 

 Isolation is not fun and I'm sure you find it the same but I do find it a time to get some extra crafting done and spend some time with my boys that I wouldn't normally get. 

My youngest son Harley did find it a little strange when he caught me talking to a magpie out the front window this morning that was feeding on our lawn. Especially when I started to ask the bird to stop hopping away because I wanted to keep talking. 

Anyway enough of my chatter it's time for my latest Design Team page for 123 Challenge Blog.

It's another great challenge and we would love to see you come and join in with us over on Facebook.

The very young but handsome boy in the photo is my eldest son Riley taken quite a few years ago when we were on holidays in Mt Gambier.
