Birdsong

Been playing with Papermania's Birdsong 6 x 6 papers, stickers and chipboard shapes.  Please excuse the wobbly writing!

At long last, a day with enough light to take a decent photo!  I even hung out a washing - haven't done that in a loooong time.

Notecards

A set of notecards made very quickly for a sister in law who always remembers my children's birthdays.  Sorry about the washed out photos - the light is so awful today that the flash couldn't be avoided.

I used Hero Arts stamps, including a digital stamp which was only $2.00.

More Hero Arts

I love the Large Fabric background and Find Joy sentiments stamps from Hero Arts.  Used the textured side of some A6 Anita's card blanks and stamped the background in lots of different colours - this one is lilac.  MS border punch, flowers and gems from stash.

More gorgeous new stamps from Hero Arts 2011 catalogue - the flower and leaf is from Blossom Art and the definition background is Dictionary Greeting.  Some Old Paper distress ink, an MS bordern punch and some Glossy Accents in the middle of the flower as inspired by Barb's blog

Lots more stamps to play with ....

Just for You

The background is Hero Arts magical background and Wild Honey distress ink.  The sunflowers and sentiment are from Papermania, as are the papers.  The pearls are Liquid Pearls.  Glossy accents for the centre of the sunflowers - can't see that in the pic.  Promarkers to colour the sunflowers.

Needed some sunshiny colour today!

Northern Ireland Craft Extravaganza

I do love workshops - I learn so much, pick up so many tips and above all get inspiration.  But hardly any of the big name crafters come here, but - 

It seems we might get some big name crafters to this island after all!  There is talk of a two-day event, possibly in Newry or one of the border towns, or even in Belfast - the venue hasn't been fixed just yet.  There would be 8 workshops over the two days, along the lines of this event  - I wonder what you all think, would you attend?  Which town would be best for everyone?
