Spring time

Hi, here is another of my calendar pages.   This time it is the May page, no special date this time just butterflies.

I am so sorry that it was not possible to get a better picture of the butterflies.  There were stamped and embossed with a flourish design and then coloured with Sakura Glitter Pens.    The top one is white lined Tando, the bottom one has been coloured on the plain unlined chipboard.   In real life both toppers really sparkle.

Time for Tando masks

This big altered project was made because of Tando.. Actually, because of this Clock mask I got and never used. So I decided to make this Time for.. mini album in a box and this mask is the major part of it..

We can only see it when we open this box.. So here it is- full of grace!

There arfe 8 pages inside- not all done with Tando, so I will show you those that  were made with our products.

Here you can see it half opened, with the clock mask

The mini album cover was made with Circles mask

Here is a photo of the mini inside the box

And now a few more pages with Tando products

If you want to see all the rest- you are welcome to my blog

And here are the products used here

Focus on Advent Calendars part 2

I was emailed a link to some fabulous photos of a recent class over at The Scrapbook Sisters.  The class was to decorate our advent calendars and they had done 2 stunning examples.

Here's a couple of them and the link to some more of the photos is HERE.

Do check out their website for a list of their latest classes.

Alison's fabulous book

It was a pleasure to be directed to Alisons blog recently.  She has taken one of Andy Skinners fabulous classes over at The Craft Barn and made this most amazing piece of art.

Wings

Di sent out some of her new design's recently, great to have new shapes to play with.

This canvas uses her Wings and Hearts set and there are still more wings and hearts left over.   Just love how these pieces fell into the curvy female shape so easy to work out what to do.

The separate wings, the heart and the smaller paired wings were embossed in a folder and the Big Shot.   The larger wings at rest have been stamped, heat embossed and coloured with glitter gel pens.   The embossed pieces coloured with metallic rub on paste and then touched over the top with a contrast.    The same paste pushed through the cogs mask directly onto the canvas.

Lots of other new designs  being introduced regularly check out the stockist list above to find out where you can discover them



  

Scalloped Double Bunner tutorial

This project was done for my Pretty Little Studio paper company DT- but Tando Creative chipboard large Scalloped Double Banner was the best part of it.. Really. I could make this project with this banner only.. No chance to make it by hand. I couldn't post this project before as it was published with a full tutorial in Scrapbooming. Com. web magazine- November  2011 issue, but as it's December now- it can be posted.

So here is a full tutorial as posted on PLS blog and here are some photos of Tando pieces I used for this project



Calendar page - February

No you are right it is the 1st December today and Christmas is still in the future, the near future but you still have a few more days.

I've been making a calendar for 2012 using an acrylic album one page side for each month, this is February.   A winter month but a romantic one especially in 2012 as it is a leap year.   Trying to capture the theme of the month I've put in a little reminder of that all important date and some Tando hearts stamped and then glazed with Rock Candy crackle.   The Tando frame coloured with Nick Bantock inks.

There are one or two other month's I'll share with you from time to time.
