I had my eye on the new Hero Arts Christmas tags. And decided they were just the thing for the Less is More (week 34) challenge.

Colourful CAS

Adding my 2 cents worth to the 1000 CAS challenge at "Less is More". With 1000 followers now, they are aiming at getting 1000 entries. Come and join in!


Stamped the sentiment in white and embossed white. Inked up my craft sheet and spritzed with water and created background. Used glossy accents on the heart (embossed clear first) and mounted with foam dots. Used a white gel pen to doodle around.

Colours are much richer in real life - may try to take another photo tomorrow.

Resist on PP

Stamping on patterned paper is a recent thing for me. This time, instead of darkening the pp after stamping and embossing, I sponged with white pigment ink to make it paler. Love this leaf stamp of Hero Arts.

OLW64 Colouring 2

Wanted to see what it would look like if I took artistic license and used a different colour.

Another take on Stampendous agapanthus stamp, using the traditional colours.

Resist Technique Take 1

For the Lily Pad Technique Challenge my first take is to use this new Agapanthus stamp from Stampendous and a Hero Arts' favourite sentiment. Stamped and embossed, then used milled lavender, dusty concord, stormy sky and faded jeans distress ink. 

Last Words

Almost finished the album. All the LHS are done (except for an embellishment or two on the last page). This has been a gift to myself. So enjoyed doing it, and found it so meaningful. A rainbow of reflections . . .

And here are some of the double page spreads . . . most of papers and embellishments are left overs from other projects.

OLW : Baby Card - Twins

My next door neighbour just had twins, so this was a timely challenge for me! The OLW challenge at Styles Ink this week is to make a card with a baby theme and there is a scrumptious assortment giveaway from A.Muse Studio.

Thanks to Judy, I found I could enter it for the Less is More (32) challenge of seeing double too!

And packets for the prezzies too . . . .

Class Venue in Paradise!

I was giving a class to the "Calender Girls" of Black River today. Just look at this venue . . . paradise!

The beginning . . . table all tidy still.

I was enjoying myself so much, I forgot to take pictures of the ladies' mini albums.
