Some More Grungy Boys Cards





Im entering these cards (they can choose one hehehehe) into tuesday taggers this week, which is no pattern pappers. All these cards I used a fab new stamp set that I brought from hobbycraft (sorry I havent actually got them on me at the mo so I cant tell you the make or name) to make my background card I stamped several different stamps in black and then distressed using black ink. The top card the image is a stampotique stamp (love these images) which I coloured using watercoloured pencils. The skull and crossbones are a cuttlebug cut and emboss die. I think thats it really kind of self explanatory just looking at them.

My First Kimmie Card




To say I love these Kimmie images would be a little bit of an understatment. My lovely cyber sis Julie sent me this image so I could have a play as she knew I was dieing to get my filthy mitt on some, now they are definately at the top of my wish list, I must have some I NEED them hehehehe !!!! I coloured this with water coloured pencils and added a little stickles to her cupcakes, I then smudged green chalk around the edge of my image. The papers are K&Co. the flowers are all prima with gems in the centres and the leafs are a Leone punch. The sentiment is from an art hero set I have.

Something a little different




Ok so I love to get down and dirty sometimes (ooooo that sounds rude hehehehe) I love a good bit of grunging !!!!! I started off with a bit of plain boring black paper which I distressed to the max, them I stamped using tim holtz stamps which I heat embossed with gold embossing powder. Then I got a piece of white card that i stamped the heart stamp on to (also tim holtz) coloured and then added crackle paint too (love that stuff) then I distressed, inked and ripped till my hearts content and this was the final result, im really pleased with how it turned out.

Im so looking forward to this weekend :) Halloween !!!!! I am having a halloween fancy dress party this year for my close friends so I will be decorating my house tomorrow and making it look all spooky :) this will then be followed my far to many sweets, apple bobbing, copious amounts of wine and cheesy horror films !!!! woohoo what more could you want, i think my choice of films will be corpse bride, the nightmare before christmas and corline :) all perfectly spooky in my opinion :)

what ever your doing i hope you all have a fab weekend xxxx

2 more Art Journal Pages

Hello peeps sorry ive been a little absent this week, ive been so busy and im not quite on what hahahahaha time has just seemed to passed in a blink of an eye. Ok so first off i'll show a couple of art journal pages ive made and then ill tell you a little of what the psychic told me, she was so scarily right about me ...




ok so as i said in my last post i was going to a psychic night, it was so much fun and i couldnt get over how correct she was about me, about things that have already happened in my life and thing that are yet to come ... first she said she could sense in my aura and soul that i was an artistic and creative person :) (i did check my hands and there was no paint or ink on them !!!) she knew that i was an aries and she knew extact what type of person i was, she did a tarot reading and knew that i love travelling and said that i would never stop travelling :) yippee !!!! she knew that i didnt have any children yet but she said i would have 2 or 3 children and the first would be in about 2 years ekkkkk how scary hehehehehe she said that i was in the wrong job and that i was born to teach she said that young people and children love me and that she could see me teach that age group but not in an achidemic sense (ill add that this point that my dream jobs would be either a nursary school teacher or an art therapist for people with learning difficulties) she did say that i would do this job but not for some time. In the middle of my reading she asked me why peru was a turning point in my life (ahhhhh how scray how did she know that !!!) i was in a very bad relationship for 6 year and peru was the turning point for me i booked it for myself and about a year before i went i broke up with the horrible person that was in my life and i met my now husband. i went to peru for macmillan cancer, i cycled from lake titticca to machu picchu (500km) over 6 days and raised £6,000, it was such a life changing experience and i completely changed my outlook on life and became such a positive person. i cant even begin to tell you about all the other stuff in my life that she was right about, all i can say is that i was 100% blown away and i will definately have another reading done at some stage.

anyway i hope everyone is having a lovely weekend, mines been so busy (again doing not much)think ill go an have another glass of wine to recover, bye for now xxxx

Anyone for Anya Challenge



This weeks challenge over at anyone for anya is 'your anya' you have to use any anya or greeting farm image that you think suits your personality. I think this new anya from the dressy set quite suits me as she looks a little different and unique. I have coloured her in bold bright colours as like me she likes to make a bit of a statement. I gave her some green eyeshadow as when I do wear make up (about twice a year) I always like to wear green eyeshadow. I coloured my image using watercolour pencils. The papers are MME (love these papers sooooo much) and all the flowers are prima with buttons in the centres.

Im so excited tonight im going to a psychic night at one of the pubs not too far from where i live, not quite decided whether i want my tarot cards read, my palm or rune stones !!!!! i wonder what they will be able to tell me ???
