Four Bathing Beauties


This is a tag made for the current Tag You're It! challenge on the theme of numbers. The stamp of the bathing beauties is by The Queen's Dresser Drawers and the 'squares' at the top and bottom were created by stamping Tim Holtz's scratches horizontally, and then again vertically. I got the idea for this from Hermine Koster in her new book Hermine's Choice. I love her work, she is a real inspiration! The number 4 is grungeboard which I have painted with acrylic paint and then added crackle accents.

Make a Moo : buildings


I'm very early this week for Make a Moo or Two as the challenge doesn't actually start until tomorrow! The image of the girl is from the free stamp plate that comes with Hermine Koster's new book Hermine's Choice. I only got it yesterday, but couldn't wait to try it out!

When I am old I will wear...


... a purple hat! I was really pleased to discover that the Inchybyinch challenge theme this week is FACES. It gave me the opportunity to use a stamp by Rivercity Rubberworks that I have just bought.

Two more butterflies




Sugar Candy Kisses...


... is the theme this week on the Tag You're It! blog. Here is my effort - some embossing and I've used some 'Iced Gems' which I recently bought from Craftwork Cards at the bottom.

Make a Moo: circles


Well, believe it or not, I am actually early with a challenge for a change! The new challenge theme on Make a Moo or Two is CIRCLES. I have used real coffee to stain the background of my Moo, and then stamped the text, the 'rings' were made with the top of one of my mini misters, and the cup and saucer was stamped and then coated with Ranger's Sepia Accents.
