Altered letter!

First all, a slap on the wrist for me for not blogging a bit more last week!!! Been so busy, so much has been happening at home, ohhhh the stress!!!

Well today I've been to my sisters Billericay Crop, the class went really well, met some lovely ladies and had a good natter.

The class kit was an altered letter, all the papers were different for each kit so it was really interesting to see the finished products, all so pretty in so many different colours and styles!!

Well here is my one!!! Really liked the papers, not too clear in this pic, but very pretty!!
I am waiting for my sister to email me a photo of everyones altered letters together so will post that soon!!!

Stash arrived today from USA!!!

I'm so impressed with my stash that arrived from the USA today!! I ordered several kits, they were all older ones, but such a bargain for money, 3 6x6 kits and 2 12x12 kits, loads of unmounted stamps, all of this that follows came to $112, so thats about £60, such good value for money, check it out!!!

An altered letter rack!

Hi there, been busy today, in between my sunbathing sessions in the garden I altered this wooden letter rack. Its a gift for my boyfriends mum for her birthday!

I painted it white, used some patterned papers and cut out some hearts. The letters 'mum' are small wooden letters that I covered in diamond glaze and dunked in glitter!!! I went back over the top with more diamond glaze just so it doesn't go everywhere, like glitter has a habit of doing!!!

Whilst glittering up the letters I also managed to glitter my carpet, knocked over the whole little pot!!! Oopss!!

Another T-shirt Scrapped


Hi people, I've finished another t-shirt, I love it, really pleased! I started off with a plain t-shirt and used layers from a skirt I cut up that no longer wore and basically just used wundaweb and ironed it on layer by layer, I just stitched the top piece so it looked a little tidier! On the opposite sleeve I just added a small piece of fabric down the centre of the sleeve and stamped a small crown on the bottom corner using Stazon!!! Ta daaaa, t-shirt two completed!!

Scrap It Challenge!!

First of all, I want to say sorry I've hardly posted this week, had such a busy one!!! Been working late all week plus of course its been the start of Big Brother, so thats kept me busy too!!! I'm finding some of those girls sooooo annoying already, but spose thats why I watch it!!! ha ha. I have to say the Welsh lass is my fav so far, she's so funny!

I'm really excited today because I found out that I WON Terrie Farrell's May SCRAP IT CHALLENGE!!! I saw it on her blog a couple of weeks ago and thought 'what have I got to lose?' I had to choose one of her pages to scrap lift, I picked a page called Emily at Nursery which was on her UKS gallery. Thought it was really stunning, loved the writing in a curve down the side.

I've used a photo of me and my sister Donna and the quote reads 'Sisters are different flowers from the same garden'.

To create the LO I used a sheet of white cardstock and some K & Co patterned papers behind the photo. I cut the coloured flowers from a sheet of Dovecraft papers I bought in a paper pack and used Dovecraft brads, I love a bit of sparkle x Lettering down the side is stamped and the word Garden is in K & Co stickers.

I got my fabric through that I ordered from ebay, so I've started on my next t-shirt and will post it on here very soon!!! I'm so excited!!! Have a good weekend everyone x
