Bubbles over Tando chipboards

This fun baby page was made by me as a Guest designer for Quick Quotes paper company. But as you know- I can't live without chipboards, so I add them all the time and I sure added some here.
This clouds and sin were covered with waterbased paints from Creative Inspirations Paint company and then , still wet, I heated them with my heat gun. And as you do it- you get those fantastic bubbles that add texture and an interest to our chippies.



Products used are from those sets

Halloween?!

As you can see my Calendar album is nearly finished, this is October!

The feature date of October is, of course, 31st Halloween or All-Hallows Eve.   Lots of traditions, Christian and otherwise, connected to the day best know today the dressing up party so many Children join in with.

The little bat and numbers coloured with DI direct to paper, the web is white lined and just decorated with glitter glue.

Focus on Advent Calendars part 5

Another stunner here from Linda, isn't this adorable.  Linda has painted it green and then used green glitter glue over the top.  All the embellies were either painted or coloured with promarkers and more glitter glue has been used.....fabulous.  I love the snowy look to the base too......so effective.

Pop over to Linda's blog post here for more details.

12 Days of Christmas tags

Many papercrafters look forward to Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of Christmas at this time of year. I used a Tando lantern on my take on Day 9's tag this year. I think it makes a lovely festive accent with just a bit of bling and evergreen foliage!


Full details of materials etc available in this post on my blog if anyone would like them.
