' Le Jardin ' for Happy Daze

Hi,  have to say am loving my new stamp by Teesha Moore and am really having great fun with it.  The best £2 have ever spent.  Le Jardin stamp is by Rogue Redheads, another great stamp.

I am probably the only crafter left on the planet that has never run an embossing folder through vellum..............lol, but am loving the results.

Keeping with the theme this month at Happy Daze of Circles I created this quirky flower card with its posh title, well its posh to me.............. the vellum is attached to the card with dabs of Silicone Glue and I dare you to spot where..............mmmmm    bet somebody will............lol

OK, so nobody is perfect............... looking forward to seeing your designs for this fab challenge.  Have a smashing Sunday and take care of yourselves.  Hugs Annette x

' Circle of Life ' for Happy Daze

The focus this month is on The Olympic Rings, actually anything with Circles works for us here at Happy Daze.  It got me thinking about the Circle of Life, not the song from The Lion King although thats a fab song but the actual journey of life from beginning to the end.

 Products used:  Distress Inks, Stickles, Paint Dabber and a Bottle Top.   Stamps  by  Teesha Moore and Scrolls Work.


We are so lucky that we can express ourselves through the crafting/art medium which reveals many layers of our character.  Oooh am getting a bit deep here, but believe me if I was to explain all my reasons for creating this ATC you would drop off to sleep..............lol


Anyways we want to see how you  use circles in your projects, whether its journal pages, circle shaped cards etc, as long as theres a circle in it you have a chance to win a £15 voucher.  For full details and inspiration from the rest of the team pop over to the Happy Daze blog.

Had to schedule this post as will be in Surrey for a big family get together this weekend, about 70 of us if all goes well with my Mum and won't be back until Sunday evening but will catch up with you all on Monday.

Wishing you a very Happy Sunday and take care of yourselves, hugs Annette x

' Under the Sea ' for Unruly Paper Arts

Hi, the background for this tag  is partly made from Cornflour and Water, the recipe is over at  Unruly  Paper Arts.  Tap the title and it will take you there if you would like the recipe for this style of background.

This is my last project as Guest Contributor.  If you would like to be a part of this fab magazine take yourself over there and have a read.

Apologies for the short post but  am off to watch the final of Jesus Christ Superstar and have no idea who will win the title role now that Nathan has gone.............oooh I loved him........

Hope you have fun with all your creations.  Hugs Annette x

The End of Summer of Color for 2012

Hi, its the end of the fab Summer of Color challenge this week hosted by the lovely Kristin and am sure the rest of the people who took part in this challenge will miss it as much as myself.  For the last 3 weeks have submitted tags with little houses on them but thought I would go back to Art for this final one which is Watermelon Ice flavoured sorbet/icecream.

Drawn in Pencil and Painted in Acrylics

Introducing Walter a rather handsome Cockatoo and doesn't he know it...............lol

Thank you Kristin for a wonderful Summer of Color and a huge thanks to everyone who shared their wonderful talents for us all to look at both on the blogs and on Facebook.

Have some serious catching up to do now on all your wonderful blogs.  Take care of yourselves and lets hope that here in the UK we actually get a Summer.  Hugs Annette x

'Wish You Were Here' plus an Update on Stick and Stickette

Miriam and Hannah went to the Seaside, they had such fun climbing over everything in sight, including these beach huts.  Luckily the owners were not about otherwise they would have been in big trouble.

This postcard is being sent to their best friend Louise saying ' Wish You Were Here '

Products used:  Anilinky Vodove Barvy Watercolours, Postcard.   Stamps by Scrolls Work and Crafty Individuals.  The beach huts are paper pieced.

Since last Sunday I have had a few emails asking if Stick and Stickette got Married......well they did on Thursday

Unfortunately the video doesn't work properly since Stick's brother Stuck messed it up.

They didn't invite me to the Wedding (which I have to say quite miffed me off)  they wanted a photograph of themselves outside their new home.

Stick wanted to carry Stickette over the threshold, then realised he had'nt any arms.  Yep I could have drawn him some, but then remembered he had left me off the Guest List..........mmmmmmmm Revenge is Sweet.............lol

'' Sorry have not been around but its been a heavy week with hospital appointments for us both but will catch up as soon as I can.  Plus Mum is in hospital again.........it never rains but it pours doesn't it.....''

Looking forward to seeing your creations for the Happy Daze challenge this month.
Take care, hugs Annette x

A Holiday Romance and Going Cubist for Happy Daze

We all love to read a good holiday romance and this is no exception.

Stick and Stickette met on holiday in Portsmouth and it was love at first sight.......aaaaaaahhhhh.
One evening on the way home after a gorgeous meal down at the Wharf,  Stick proposed to her......and of course she said yes.

No date for the wedding has been set yet, but in anticipation I have made this label for their honeymoon luggage as am sure they will need one, don't you ?

Formula for the tag is a brayered background, Chicken wire screen, acrylic paint, distress inks, Stickles and the stamps are Inkadinkado plus Two Sticks by Stampotique.

CUBIST SILHOUETTES

Plus I snuck in a sneaky one mainly because I adore the colors.  Bought this stamp by Lost Coast Design quite a while ago from HD,  but had only stamped her in Sepia.  Stamping her various colors gave her a new lease of life.  Hope you like her like this.


Looking forward to seeing your take on this months theme over at Happy Daze.  Take care of yourselves and will see you soon, Annette x
