AAh! Bless

Aaaah bless.....Louis won SCD.....such a close year this year.

Yikes it just might be real!

I talked (on the phone not just on-line typing chat) to that man at last.

Yikes!!! He seems real :) Yikes!!! He seems genuine :)

Yikes!!! He seems awfully busy with work commitments!!! Mmmmmm?

He does not seem like the sort of bloke who has women lined up in the wings....

...but you never know! LOL

Somehow or other I don't believe the sort of bloke that buys a fire engine because it was made in the year he was born, or takes his "home from Uni" daughter to grandma to help decorate her tree can be all that bad ;)

I'll let you know if we eventually meet up ;)

Wanted!

Hi folks!

I had so much fun making this page....featuring 3 of my hottest male fantasies!! ROFL

Rufus, Richard and Luca (Inspector Montalbano)...and mystery man?...well one of these days I'm hoping he will turn into reality and will be "The one that I want"...I have to believe there is someone out there for me....I absolutely hate living on my own, I've come to realise I function better as part of a couple ;)

I made this at my weekend away with crafting friends Sue and Laura

We went to Jamie Oliver's in Bath on Friday for my birthday and crafted all day Saturday and Sunday morning too...we shared such a lot of wicked laughs and surprisingly I actually made a few things!!! My heart has just not been in crafting of late

Big hugs and thanks for sharing the weekend girls. :)

I'm in the mood for love

I've made a tag today for Hels Sunday Stamper.

So am I in the mood for love?

Well obviously yes, otherwise I would not have signed up to a dating site!

I some how don't think it's ever going to work with anyone who lives more than say 25 miles away though.

So how nice that someone in Exmouth started e-mail conversations with me a few weeks ago...which led to telephone conversations...which led to actually meeting up for the first time yesterday. :)

Heavens! It's a bit weird meeting someone like that...he seemed a nice chap for someone but not for me....There was no chemistry thing going on....so we agreed that was the end of it!!!

Hey ho...back to the drawing board...and my fantasies! ROFL

Home for Christmas for The Artistic Stamper

It was nice to see all the "Anything Goes" creations for last months challenge, some very, very arty beauty there folks :)
So..... how do you feel about this one then?

"Home for Christmas"

Yes it's a seasonal challenge for December over at The Artistic Stamper Creative Team ;)

I decided to make a quadruple ATC display.

I made a background on white card by spraying Dylusions in vibrant turquoise, lemon zest and London blue and bleached out some colour by spraying water through a stencil and blotting off.
I then cut 4 pieces of card just a little smaller than ATC size as I knew I wanted to mount them on black ATC card blanks.
I wanted this to have a Christmas feel but perhaps not conventionally so!

On the first ATC:

...I stamped the Santa in Archival black, and added a touch of stickles to the circle surrounding him and a little white sparkly embossing to his moustache.
...stamped the holly motive in Distress peeled paint on each edge and added some red glitter to the berries.
To finish I added some mini journaling words.

On the second ATC:



...I stamped the word Home in Archival black all around the edges,
...I stamped two of the cute house images in Versamark on black card and heat embossed with sparkly white powder and cut them out and attached,
...stamped two hearts in Distress aged mahogany and cut out and attached.

On the third ATC:

...I stamped the Christmas greeting and candle images in Archival black,
...added some red glitter to the berries, added a touch of stickles to the circle surrounding the flames with some heat embossed sparkly white powder too.
To finish I added some mini journaling words.

On the fourth ATC:

...I stamped the Christmas greeting in Archival black,
...stamped the oblong star image in Versamark on black card and heat embossed with sparkly white powder,
...stamped three crowns in Distress aged mahogany onto a piece of previously inky coloured card, cut out and attached.

To finish I heat embossed gold powder on all the edges using a embossing pen to make a shabby border.
The atc's were joined together with some tissue tape.

List of stamps used:
Mini Christmas 1 plate
Crowning Glory
Home Sweet Home A5 plate
Mini Journaling Words 1

You really must take a look at the "Home for Christmas" creations the rest of the team have made and here are the DT member links for you.

So don't forget.............the monthly challenge is "Home for Christmas"

The rules are simple... all you need to do is make a piece of art, be it a card, ATC, wall art, altered art, scrapling ;)... just remember that it must include some rubber stamping and the theme... and... if you use Artistic Stamper stamps on your entry you will be entered into the draw twice! The prize is £15 worth of stamps from the Artistic Stamper shop... along with the KlingOn to mount them onto.

I hope you get chance to play at the challenge... it is open until December 31st and the winner will be chosen by Random.org shortly after :)

Thanks for looking and happy stamping
