Finally for March I've been making some inchies and twinchies for a swap. I must admit the inchies were a challenge as my fingers are not good with small things - it was a relief to work on the twinchies - here are some photos, the first one is the inchies and the next ones are the twinchies:



Evening thought I would post a photo of our dog Boos, she's an ageing Scottie who was in desperate need of a groom when this photo was taken! She is an absolute softie who uses her age when its convenient for her LOL!

Art Journal - March

Hiya I've just completed my March page for an Art Journal I'm in. The theme is How Are You Feeling? The page is 8" x 8" and I first of all spritzed it with some Dylusion inks and muddied it up a bit with some Artbar crayons - the black edging is also Artbar crayon. I used a variety of Washi type tape, the word stamps and the head stamp are Paper Artsy and the bottles are from Crafty Creations. My theme is about keeping things all bottled up inside which is something I  do quite a lot. The page has curved a bit but I shall be flattening that down with a big square book!

Chinese Whispers - March

Evening - I'm a member of an online Circle Journal where we create a page based on our own interpretation of a page emailed to us - the CJ is called Chinese Whispers and this is the page I've created for March, which I shall be emailing on next week. I've used photos of my cat Tessa, I've sort of decided that for this CJ I shall be trying to do pages of Tessa. She came to us in December as a retired Queen, who was very nervous of people and didnt know how to play and I'm hoping this CJ will show how far she has come along as the months go by.

March Card

Well over on UKS we are making cards for Sian's March card swap. We had to use one of the Craft Stamper sketches, from the March issue, then we had two optional extras - to use a Vintage download from Craft Stamper's website and finally to use something old from our stash!

So this is my take on one of the cards, I used a black square card base, topped it with a piece of Graphic 45 paper, then put a piece of black cardstock through my cuttlebug using a Tim Holtz folder. The vintage download is the old hand written telegraph, the something old from my stash is the metallic rub I used on the embossed cardstock - I've had then for years and keep forgetting I've got them! Off to finish the rest of the cards - I can only do them a bit at a time!

Here are a couple more cards I made over March for the swap

and a card made for a friend who was recently promoted!
