WOYWW – Last minute project

I have been crafty this week as a matter of fact – I have been crafty since the year began if truth be told..

But today in particular I am in a rush to finish a project for a three year old little girl…

I made a junk journal for her sister last year and promised her one on her birthday… would you believe Thursday is her birthday and I totally forgot…

Thank god three year olds are not fussy.. I am doing a handbag sort of thing – filled with colouring pages – loads of textured stuff and then I will stuff it with crayons and other stuff to make a mess..

Her mother will probably kill me when she starts attacking her wall – but hey she’s only three once…

Although I am rushing to get it done – this was really a fun little project and I think I will end up doing it again….

See what else I have been up to this week…

Valentine blog hop–The big ticket

 

I spotted this link up Valentine blog hop a few days ago and thought about entering two projects I have been working on..

I will admit I am not a pink girl by any stretch but I do love the valentine season – (minus the pink).. 

• I love it for the unique things I see in the craft world,
• I love it for that extras effort that boy or that girl makes for the Valentine’s in their lives
• I also love it because my neighbours tends to bring around the best candies for me… I am alot of peoples Valentine’s (LOL)

But on a serious note – Valentines is one of those gift giving seasons where it can go horrible wrong or just magical right.. But even if’s wrong the mere thought that someone went out of their way to do something for you- just naturally makes it magical…

My first project in the blog hop is one I had to ask permission to show – the pictures below show about 85% of the book’s feature..

The book is highly personalised and the lady that commissioned the book feels a little flustered by having her thoughts and such on the web..  so none of the actual end design was approved..

So I took what I could get – and photo to death the book..  as I really loved this book

It’s a mix of paper and wool flowers and this was flittered throughout with miniature tickets.. 

If you had not notices the book is actually a big ticket – I made each page from a sheet of A4 paper and then covered with pattern paper and each page is dedicated to a particular though – Kisses, date night, old memory, etc etc

There are loads of tags as well as journaling and picture spot.

Enjoy..

If you have a project or just something you want to share this season – Join the hop and tell us about your project..

My second project will go up  Friday morning..

Details of how to get involved is here UPCYCLED SCRAPBOOKING....

Playing around and making backgrounds

 

There is a ustreamer called Rach0113 whose style I love… I love how she experiment and just think outside of the box and comes up with some fun art journaling page..

I watched her last Saturday night using pan pastel and stamps doing a great blending design..

Taking her concept I tried the same thing with eco-crafts acrylic as I am not a fan of chalks, although I know I will try them eventually…

but back to the page – I am in a sort of opposite colour space sort of mood and went with the colours sky blue, moss,  blue patina and sunflower..

Loves how it turned out – using the gears stencils and paper artsy stamps I ma liking it alot…

This was fun…
