Another advent calendar

I love decorating these, this is the 3rd I've done, fortunately I am able to find homes for them as our lovely retailers always want some to display.  I doubt I'll do anymore now though as we're already well into December :o)

A gorgeous frame by Sue

Take a look at this fabulous frame, another project inspired by our very own Carol and Sue has done an amazing job.  You can find more details on Sue's blog HERE.

These frames are so popular and so versatile and this one looks equally gorgeous used with a photograph.

More from Sue soon....and we have now added a link to her blog on our side bar so do remember to drop by and look at her beautiful crafting :o)

Steampunk Pendant

Now I don't do much in the way of this kind of stuff and I can't come close to the brilliant pieces that Carol and Zoe can produce but I just fancied having a go with this new release.

I can't actually remember too much as to what I put on these pieces because I kept changing them as I didn't like them LOL.

It does involve Viva Decor Ferro and Croco, precious metal paints and distress accents....oh and I think I might have thrown some alcohol inks on it as well.

As usual the chippie stood up well to the different layers and constant heating (because I was too impatient for each coat to dry).

Christmas Village

I was delighted and very honoured to be asked to do another Cybercrop Class over on UK Scrappers.  I don't scrap but I do love making little home decor things so I decided to use the little mini house trio and created a mini village.

I have also decided that I will be doing an online class next year to make a model Christmas village, it will be quite a project, much larger than this, and the class will probably stretch over a few weeks.  It will be a free class but obviously will be using Tando products.....anyhoo, I'll announce more details during the coming months.

Christmas Sleigh

I made this sleigh a while ago and took it to the Craft Barn demo filled with sweets.

It's been painted with Viva Decor Inka Gold in Red and the flourishes on the side have been embossed with gold and finished off with UTEE.

Steampunk hearts

This little frame has been waiting since May for inspiration to strike, well about an hour after getting this great set of Tando chipboard pretty much knew what it would look like.

Chipboard went through the Cuttlebug cogs folder and embossed a dream. Nick Bentock inks, not available now but they blend just like DIs. A little matallic rub and buff over the raised areas highlighting the machanical theme. Clock parts, pearls, feathers, buttons and bows.









Here is the set used.
