Well I Tried - Alcohol Drip Technique

Looks promising doesn't it, well please don't be deceived, ha, ha, ha. Well, you know the lovely Hels has been on a big adventure the the old U S of A, and has been to Ranger U, well on her blog she is publishing some tutorials. This is the before pic, well even got out my new craft sheet, my other is in a sorry old state, stained lumpy and bumpy and to top it all today, I got uttee all stuck to it while playing with some moulds that the very kind and thoughtful Anne made for me, but that's another story, OOOh and yes we went to Aintree yesterday, not to bet on the Gee Gees but to a craft show and a great time was had by all of us. Back to the matter in hand, this is the result of my effort below.

I'm not too sure that drip, in my case is how I would describe what happened, it was more like a flood that Noah and his Ark would be proud of. The alcohol ink "Pooled" a bit too much in places then in others I didn't seem to put enough, arhh, never mind, I've had a go, LOL.

Best get a move on, have been off work today and tother arf will be expecting his tea ont table when he gets home, fat chance!!

Just a few things

That's my boy, nearly eight months old now, couldn't resist.

Just a few cards I have done in the last couple of weeks, although I've not crafted this week, don't know where the time goes.

Ventured off this morning to Yorkshire Lavender, well, I won't be going again, advertised having a deer park, was thinking they would be a roaming on those hills, but oh no, they were in an enclosure, not my ideer (lol, sorry!), of a deer park, even as cute as they were. Ended up calling in Pet's at home for a new dog brush and a toy, which is, the toy, in bits in the bin, I think that puppies are always on a mission to destroy in the fastest time possible, our poor old lady hasn't a cuddly toy left.

Well it's time for Walkies (said in a Barbara Woodhouse fashion), then it's buffet food and the Eurovision, yes I know it's a load of old twaddle but it's funny and we enjoy watching, much easier now as most artists, I say that loosely, sing in English. Must admit, not that hungry at the mo, was very naughty and not on the diet list, but we had lunch in Chiquitos.

Have a lovely weekend and take care all.

Not yet a Fusioneer

OH dear, need much more practice, here are my first attempts, think I'm cack handed, my wrist doesn't wiggle, but never mind I thoroughly enjoyed myself and got paint all over. But of course, did I go for the beginners set of stamps......OH NO, I wanted to do the pretty butterfly and flowers, serves me right, won't be a painted watering can outside my door this summer, ha, ha, ha.

One plus is that I have cracked the crackle effect LOL.

Sunday Stampers - Blue

Good evening all, well I thought I had better post my offering, it has been a long time since I have had time to join in with the SS although I am a daily visitor to Hel's blog. Well in a nutshell, she's not finished, it needs something else, but you know when you rummage around in your stash and nothing quite fits, thought about a flower, tulle would be nice but don't have any, dangly bits, but all a too big, couldn't find a charm that was right, think I really need some more Stampotique rubber, LOL.

Have had a lovely day, baby pooch got me up around 6am, he's just like a toddler, as soon as the sun is up so is he, he wandered into the garden, had a piddle got on the sofa and went back to sleep. There wasn't a cloud in the sky so off hubby and I went to Nostell Priory, we had a guided tour round the house by a sweet little old couple, a wander through the gardens and round one of the lakes, decided we would bring the dogs at a later date, then we had a little tipple in a nearby pub and sat in the beer garden. So no housework done today, it will wait while tomorrow, what's a bit of dust and a few dog hairs, well probably a lot to someone who has a dust or pet allergy LOL.

Hope it's been lovely where you are, have a great weekend all.

Just a few

It's turned from a dull, breezy morning to a lovely sunny afternoon, which I have spent making a Mothers day card for my Mother In Law, so nice to have a bright room and windows open. As promised no pics of my baby pooch just a few cards I have made over the last few weeks, must dash, time to walk the doggies and maybe I'll plant out my potatos when I return

Nearly a Whole Month

Well I did promised more crafting and here are three cards I have made in the last couple of weeks.

I would really like to have a go at art journaling and have bought some ink sprays from Art from the Heart I have now decided that I need paints, stencils, downloads and more stamps LOL. I have been spraying but cannot get the look that the fab Dyan gets or the other clever folks, I just don't think I have the imagination, I should go to a class, but am not brave enough, frightened of making a boob of meself.

I have however today been having a go at the faux, I so wanted to say barndoor, but I think it's barnwood technique, and it's worked, I feel like I could do quite an ickle merry dance. I usually have the bull in a china shop approach, but I actually read and followed the instructions, instead of reading, think I'll remember the instructions and go a do it all wrong, then wonder why it doesn't work!!!!!

Ta ta for now.

What a big boy Oh and some tags

The challenge for this tag swap is Timmy baby, Sir Holtz of course, products, stamps, techniques, style, whatever you have and whatever takes your fancy, so here is my interpretation above. Rubbish pic, but that's because I took it LOL.

Cannot linger for very long as have snook away to do some crafting, as per the usual, I keep getting the comment "Always buying, never using", sound familiar! I just cannot seem to find enough time at the minute, so much I want to do but so little time, where oh where is my big lottery win.

Here is the latest pic of my ickle fella, although he has had a bit of a limp for the last few days, but I'm not surprised as he hurls himself about and races around in a mad frenzy with his tongue lolling from the side of his mouth panting. However it's not slowed him down and he doesn't appear to be in any pain, if he's still limping at the end of the week may have to visit the vet. My daughter took this pic of him at the weekend, that's why it's in focus lol, I did try to warn him that it may be a danger to his health snuggling up in her bedding, not quite sure how long it's been on her bed, I keep thinking of making a warning sign for her room door, I've learnt not to look.


Righty O, better sign off as time is marching on and it'll soon be time for me to snuggle up under the covers. I promise, more crafting and less puppy.
