Compendium of Curiosities Challenge- week 11

Font size
Here we are at week 11 for the Compendium of Curiosities Challenge Linda is hosting at Studio L3. This week it is about Blended Batik which is a favorite of mine. I have used old paper, faded jeans, antique linen and vintage photo distress inks. The friends stamp is from SU, the music from Scrapblocks, and the birds are from Inkadinkado. The key is from K & Company. This was a fun one to do. Thank you for looking!

The PLAY DATE CAFE - PDCC 43


I made this for the color challenge at The Play Date Cafe using a stamp from Scrollswork. I made several copies and cut the women apart, gave them wings, colored them with water colors and then put it back together. The ribbon was made with df tape and Glitter Ritz. The wings have Rock Candy Distress Stickles on them but it doesn't show up in the scan. The background of daisies is from Dover. The inside of this card says "Leave room in your garden for the fairies to dance". Thank you for looking! Comments are very appreciated.

Last week I was given the honor of being allowed to display The Cream in our Coffee badge but I am embarrassed to say I don't know how to do that. Call me clueless in blogland.

Compendium of Curiosities Challenge- week 10


Here we are at week 10 of the Compendium of Curiosities Challenge . This week we are doing something with distress stickles so I was disappointed to see I only have Rock Candy distress stickles. I have made another Christmasy page for my book. It may be because every available space in my house is covered with Christmas paper and embellishments. Any day now the Christmas cards will start lining up my shelves. Materials I used for this project include Rock Candy Distress Stickles, walnut stain, pine needles and tumbled glass distress inks, stamps from TH Reindeer flight, die cuts from Sizzix. The background paper is from Basic Grey. Thank you for looking!

Drunken Stampers #29 - Cats!


When I saw that the challenge this week at Drunken Stampers was Cats, I thought I would post this one I made for a friend a while ago. It was fun to make and to give away. I knew I wanted to get in on the Drunken Stampers fun when I read that they are from B.C., Canada - just like me. And speaking of stamping drunk - at the stamp group I belong to we always make a card before we open the wine. Good fun! ... Of course we used to make 3 cards before the wine started flowing. Thank you for looking!

THE PLAY DATE CAFE - PDCC 42

I made this for the color challenge at Play Date Cafe. This is not a color combination I love so I thought it would be good practice. All the stamps I used are Tim Holtz. The words are from Lisa's Altered Art and the paper is My Minds Eye. The inks are Stazon and distress. Thank you for looking!
