Silly Selfie Session


This layout was an exercise in using up that scary paper that I put in my Counterfeit Kit for May.


I used it to mat my photos.  On the larger mat I scribbled some words that the photos brought to mind.  I bordered all the mats with some scribbly lines in black.


I broke open the second packet of alphas in my kit.  I don't expect to use these all up, but I'm going to try and make a good dent in them.  Also added all of the cut outs I included in the kit - they were hanging around on my desk when I was putting the kit together so rather than put them away I added them to the box - basically I'm a lazy tidier!  :D


So there it is layout number ???  I'm not sure, I need to do a count up.  I still haven't started on the bicycle papers yet.  Too 'scared' to cut them up.  But when I get over that there is at least 2 more layouts worth left in my kit.  Not a bad tally for me in a month - very chuffed!

Thanks for stopping by

    LOL "the scary paper"...too funny :~D It worked out so well as the mat, & your doodled words & scribbles were a genius touch.

DMIO: Teach Me Something

A few weeks back I made a dream catcher.  A few readers asked if I could show them how I made it, so, here is my attempt at a tutorial! First up weaving the web. 1. You'll need a hoop and some ribbon/thread/yarn on a bobbin. 2. Attach the ribbon securely to your hoop. 3. Take your ribbon over the top of the hoop... 4. and up through the loop you've just made with the ribbon... 5. so you have a cross over. 6. Continue steps 3-5 until you reach the knot. 7. Now instead of going over the hoop you will crossover the ribbon 8. and through the loop you've just made to give a crossover. Continue on in this fashion until you get to the middle. You need to leave a hole in the middle as this is where the good dreams get through!  They then run down the tassels/feathers/any other hanging decoration and on to the owner.  It should look something like this.  You'll need to play around with your tension until you get a firm web. Now for the tassels - I like to

A Poe Quote

So I've been trying out art journalling for a while but had nothing that I wanted to share, until now. I was inspired by The Bears Challenge and picked this quote to base my page on. "If you wish to forget anything on the spot, make a note that this thing is to be remembered" I got some paints out, some spray mists too.  I used my fan brush, my fingers and a cotton rag.  I got messy, satisfyingly messy :) The letters are some old letraset vinyls that were my Aunt's.  When we cleared my Grandparents house I couldn't stand the art goodies to go to waste.  I saved them because I knew one day I would find a use for them.  They must be 40 years old but are still perfect.  (I sometimes look at things I get today and think they won't still be good in 5 years let alone 40!) I don't have the complete alphabet so there are some adaptations... c's became o's, E's became t's, w's became m's.  I magicked a k from a P!  Some
