This weeks theme for Altered design was famous faces. Carry Grant is my Hollywood heart throb, I just love all his films and as he was born in Bristol, England where I was also born and live, he was the only person to do!!
My parents are about to move any day now and so I thought I would make them a book they could keep all those numbers and measurements you need when you move. The images are from my new Polkadoodles CDrom, which I thought was soo cute.
For the swap this week with my Google group we had to alter a playing card. I had a couple of Chinese playing cards so went with that theme, as you can see.
I had this one all ready to go Just before I became ill but missed the deadline for the Oriental weeks swap. Didn't really mind as I love how it came out so its a keeper!
Haven't been at all creative the past 3 weeks almost as I have been unwell but I am so glad I didn't miss this weeks ATC swap with my Google group as its theme was pointy hats. Just love playing with pointy hats, who wouldn't!!
This weeks theme with Altered Designs was an open theme so I decided to have a go with my new Artchicks Artblast playing cards I had for Christmas. I only needed to use 3 suites as I had to make an ATC so the type of art you make suite wasn't needed. I ended up with watercolours, they medium you use, a leaf that I interpreted as nature as the theme and pink, cream and brown as the colours to include. Here is what I came up with.
I have joined an ATC triptych swap with my google group, 3 ATC that run together. here is my set. Sorry the picture is a bit wonky but my photoshop soft wear has gone round the twist and now can't even got into it so I cant crop my photos at the mo.
Last weeks theme for our mingle was Oh Baby, my imagination took my in quite the opposite direction then all the others who chose cute babies I on the other hand created this .....
As i woe the November lottery with my google group I had to choose Decembers theme. I chose a dream ticket, if you could go anywhere for a holiday where would you go ? Well here is my dream ticket destination
I made these boxes form the same template as the Halloween ones and filled them with gold coins for my German class pals and of course the Teacher Marlice who is amazing as she has actually taught me to speak German .
Fro my sister I made this Christmas planner book for one of the Craft mags, sorry can't remember which one, but it was such a great design by the talented Jane Dean. I added a Sizzix tree to the front and a bell to booby trap it !! She loved and and is even using it!!
With the help of My craft Studio Christmas CD rom I made these folders for my Nephews in time for the first of December. Inside was an advent calender, letter to Santa, bookmark and thank you letters, in the hope that they will get used!!. They loved them and have been busy since then counting down to Christmas
This months lottery with Altered designs was to make a Christmas skinny, that's 3" x 5". Its the first time I have worked on a skinny and I loved the size, well this is what I came up with.
Now Halloween is over I can show you the penny slider card, little skull charms and sweet boxes I made for my Nephews for Halloween, even my Hubby got a sweety box this year !
