Saturday - my missions completed

Pushed for time today - really got to get cracked on with Personal Impressions work.

I just want to show you my reclaimed dinning area and my beautiful up-cycled sewing table

First the before - bit of a muddle with stuff everywhere

Now - I have sorted everything out properly - given the carpet a good clean and moved stuff about a bit

and I have painted my junk shop find table - it has a strong dark yellow under tone with cream chalk paint and gold highlights - love it.

Now I must dash and get cracking!

Sneaky Peak!!!!

Thank you all for your kind thoughts - yes - the roof is holding up after the work they did last week and it seems dry.  It's a bit hard to tell as it's all so stained now - but everything feels dry.  I reckon if we get through this week we will be fine as long as they remember to keep checking that the pub has not broken it all again.

And that's just as well - a new parcel of brand new Sweet Dixie dies has arrives for me to create with - and they are gorgeous!

Quick sneaky peek before I get too excited.

The cardstock is from My Colours - and it's so pretty

Next weeks mission

I won't have time to play with my journal today.  After the continuing saga of the roof - which leaked again this last week - I am way behind and the back room is piled high with stuff to sort out.

My mission of next week  - and I have no choice but to accept it ;-) - is to reclaim my little dinning area.  Now that I have finally got rid of all the shop display stuff that I have been hoarding for my son I can get myself organised again.  At the moment it's just a dumping ground with my sewing machine taking all the table.

 And a huge pile of stuff that needs sorting and finding a home for.  I am going to be really ruthless and take it all in hand.  I want to get a separate little table for my sewing machine so I can have my big table back and organise my clutter so that I can find everything easily.

I will let you know how I geton in the week.

Lindsay Mason - Zendoodle stamps

I love that Lindsay has produced outline stamps for you to do your own zendoodles - well at least so she thought ;-) 

I love the open spaces of these stamps - they are perfect for paper piecing - or fabric applique - or sharing with the kiddies to colour their own cards this year.

Check out the Personal Impressions blog to see how it's done

Today I have a really simple project that you can either use as a mini card - or as posh gift tags.

Check out the Personal Impressions blog - all you need is 1 12" x 12" sheet of patterned paper - and a couple of stamps

I was such a good bunny yesterday - I made a huge effort to clear my desks and work top off of all the 'going to get round to' stuff that has grown up agian.  So today I could have a bit of free time to fiddle about.

This weekend is the Comic Fest in Kendal - so in honour of that todays' page has a comic theme - Batman has been 'kittened'.

I am experimenting with making my own ink pad again

You can get such a light delicate effect - totally different from other stamping methods.  I think it may be because the ink has not really soaked through the ink pad so it's patchy and uneven - I like it.  Now I will have to find some stuff to add on top and try to keep the light tough - good luck with that kitten ;-)

The brief is 'to think outside the box' - should be fun.

I had sort of promised myself that I would play all da today - things never quite work out like that do they?

There has been a rash of blank ink pads so you can make your own 'custom' blends.  It does not quite work like that really - but it is a fun way to create something a bit different.

I picked up the big Dylusions pad ages ago - the bigger the better for this really.

Spritz a couple of colours onto the pad and use a big bold background stamp to pick up the mixes of colours and stamp.  You will find that you get all sorts of extra colours where the inks have blended together and made new shades - I have purples - greens and navy in the stamping.  Just give the ink pad a good wash under the tap to get the ink off - you can pat it directly onto paper for another effect.

You can't see all the detail really - I have used quite a bit of silver and white
