Happy 10th Birthday Paper Artsy

OMG tonight of all  nights, my PC dies and I've had to resort to scrounging my son's laptop.  Anyway.......

For my final, final project, I was given the opportunity to work with Lin Brown's new plate of stamps.  I've been practising my drawing skills recently and needed a pot to keep all my pens in.  This was the result. Cute Huh???  If you would like to know how to make it hop over to the PA blog here

So,  I'm sure you've all been waiting for a chance to post to win one of the two sets of Lin's stamps that Leandra has kindly given me to offer as prizes.  Just leave a comment below and I'll do a random draw in one week's time.

As I've also said on the PA blog, thanks to everyone for their lovely comments.  It's really meant a lot to me and so has seeing my work being reproduced and inspiring people.

Good luck in the draw!

PaperArtsy Guest Designer Week 4 Part 3

You'll need your sewing machine for this project. Lin Brown's lovely Eclectica stamps were originally designed to be used on fabric and there's no doubt they work brilliantly if you do decide to have a go.

This has to have been my favourite project.  I loved every minute of making it.  As I went so mad making the painted flowers, there were many left over and they look just as good made into fabric tags.

If you want to know how, here's the link.

Technically this was supposed to have been my last project for PaperArtsy but as it's their 10th birthday this month there have been all sorts of special posts and prizes. So my final post is tonight and I can only say if you are a fan of PaperArtsy or would like to start adding their products to your collection, come back tonight for a surprise.

PaperArtsy Guest Designer Week 4 Part 2

I've not been around the past couple of days and completely forgot to schedule my PA posts. My second project this week tries to explain how to end up with a creation that hangs together and not look like the elements have been "plonked" onto your substrate without any cohesion.  If you want more info hop over here
