We had loads of fun creating tags on Thursday at Grimsby Crafts, the main aim being creating our own backgrounds, slide mounts, flowers, leaves, ribbon, heart and butterflies.
The ladies are really getting into the 'altered art' now, they all come up with amazing creations.
All of the images and rubber stamps used were (of course, you guessed) Crafty Individuals, as were the slide mounts.
This was an oriental style mini wall hanging I created using the new CI-310 plate. Simple stamping, matting and layering and waater coloured images, finished off with a tassell...HOLIDAY TIME
Well I am on holiday now for a couple of weeks, so is my hard working hubby! He is still working like mad on the bungalow. It's so much nicer now the better weather and longer days are back. We are aiming to move in about 6 to 8 weeks but still have a very long way to go. Our priority is getting the garage built as we have no where to 'store' stuff, and hopefully we will get this finished in about a week.
This is what it's like up to now. I'll add a few more photo's soon. I add them to my facebook but always forget to add them on my blog. Mind you we have hundreds, they would bore you stupid!

You are really intending to down size. Good on you. What satisfaction there will be when your house is finished.
The artwork is really lovely.
Thank you Sue I am delighted that you peeked at my blog and liked what you saw.
Yes I am nuts about what a technique can do or even more importantly what I can do with it.
I also look forward to seeing what you are up to.
By the way I am anxiously awaiting my first lot of Crafty Individual stamps a) to play with and b) to get my customers to buy and then play with.
I am really liking what a lot of the crafters in the UK are doing.
Thank you for making my day - and a boring one it has been too - bookwork and still some!
wow you really did mean a clear out, will try and pop in on weds to have a mooch. Cant believe you are talking moving date, wow.
Lovely pieces of art and absolutely stunning flowers. Your bungalow is looking fabulous, a lot of hard work but you will love it when it's finished. Hope you enjoy your break. Tracy x
