Experimentations.

Yes I have been experimenting today, and not the science kind, I was never good at atoms or H20’s lol.  Over the last few days I have been going crazy trying to work these colours I hardly use.  I have been using colours that are totally out of my comfort zone.  Forest greens, black EEK!! Petrol blue purple yah all those dark colours that scare me.  I think they scare me because I find it hard to process dark… I can’t wait to show you.

Here is a sneaky look as I haven’t quite finished.

So far what I have done I am proud of my experimenting because I never use these colours or when I do it’s very very sparingly.. 

I need to work on a leaving card for the end of term, on of our teachers are leaving for Cambridgeshire to live with her boyfriend so it’s a whole new beginning for her too..  So I want to do something special.  It’s a big thing to move, let alone move county and in with a man dun dun dunnnnnnnnn..

At the moment I am listening to Jose Gonzales.  What kind of music do you like? What are you proud of today?

Something I’m Going…..

To try..  Is this

I found this on Pintrest and it#s called a spring wreath, apparently it errrrrrr Japanese? But the Pictures say it all, So I have the ring, I got myself a half ring.
I’m waiting for the yarn which I had to order from US it was a million pounds cheaper to order in.
I have my lil flowers
I have my pins but I dunno if I will use them

Watch this space for my try..  I know exactly where I am going to put it …

Manda over at Faery Ink has a little digi stamp give away over at her blog check her out, she is a fantastic artist and is still looking for a DT to help promote her stuff..

San Francisco

I’m telling ya San Francisco is the hardest word to spell lol..  It’s one of those words where you have to think every letter LOL!!

Anyhooo this is my Smash* page I am entering over at Saturated Canary’s Challenge..  It’s really exciting because the challenge is to find an image which inspires a song..  Well Violet is such a hippy chick.  I was flicking though my SC images and there were a few and I had a few songs, you know as you do, I was singing my way though, then when violet came along I started singing this song by Scott McKenzie or Mama’s and Papa’s, although I do prefer Scott's version of Are You Going to San Francisco’

Have a listen

Well I hope you have a wonderful day.  Today I am proud to enter Saturated Canary’s Challenge

Just Whizzing By

Urgh this weather is totally wretched… Totally! Anyhooo as I sit here listening to All Angels I thought I would blog my latest creation. I coloured up this Teddy Bo Image with Ranger Distress Pens..    It’s a little thank you to a little boy who gave me a little pot of hyacinths for Christmas.. 

This is a close up if you hadn’t gathered already LOL!! I am not sure about those little gemy thingy’s I got from The Ribbon Girl..  And let me tell you The Ribbon Girl has a fantastic service.  I ordered one day and received the next.. Lovely jubbly..

Anyhooo I want to have a quick chatty about distress markers and what I think of mine.. Like a mini review.  Ok I like them and I don't like them.

I don't like them because;
I’m heavy handed and they kill the paper when I am blending
The nibs get all weird and lumpy I am always pulling fibres from the tips
The fine tip is too fine
The colours are hard to work out

I like them because;
One pen can produce an array of different shades
You can blend them wet or dry
You can get nice lines
There are lots of colours to play with
They are permanent until you wet them
The colours can be really vibrant.

Here is what I am working on.  (Using Promarkers <3) It’s Saturated Canary challenge you know all top secret stuff lol… Gosh that’s a huge smudge there on the shoe PAH!

Well today I am proud of myself in a totally different way than being crafty.  My proud moment for today is that for 5 days I have blogged, and for 5 days I have shared things with people who I don’t know and would like to get to know.  My proud moment is getting myself out there and stop being shy or doubtful that my work is terrible and no one would really want to see it.  So that’s what I am proud of getting involved..

I am on the ball

Happy Birthday card for my little Aussie girl.  She will be turning 3 in February and I am on the ball.  I know, I have been actually doing, rather than pondering about doing lol.

Anyhooo so here is my little card.  I used my prisma colours on it.  The edges look a little harsh but in life they are much softer lol

The Image is from Cuddly Buddly Pachela 

Today I am proud that I have been creative every day this year.
