Thank you Joy for nominating me. It is much appreciated .

Now, get out your best inks, and mojo, and prepare yourself for creating , as from Saturday there will be a new blog challenge which will definitely challenge your creative juices......

I do hope you are prepared!

Tag Book

At my workshop on Saturday at Sharon's Card Crafts, I taught a class making a tag book using Stitchels Stamps, and our Tag chipboard, and my favourite of all a Bind-it-All! We used several techniques, alcohol inks from Kuretake, (now on the website!), chalks and a shaving foam technique using Adirondack Colour Wash Inks.I used the mini and the mini mini Stitchels stamps,just gorgeous to use, although not the most perfect scissor technique I have ever done! The little knob on the front of the book is one of Tim Holtz ideaology hitch fasteners, and I tied a little piece of fibre to the back to lock the book together. The inside of the book was done using chalks, I lurve these, and I coloured the edges too! For those of you interested in our new blog challenge, I hope you are up for a challenge- it certainly isn't for the faint-hearted, and if you are interested I shall be looking for guest designers too!

Alcohol ink Canvas and New Blog Challenge coming soon....

For those of you who liked the Tim Holtz technique, I took a class yesterday using this technique, and using the Time and Keys plate from The Artistic Stamper. I alcohol inked the canvas directly , and then used the fragments and the resist technique. I thought it was a cool canvas!

Some great news for those of you who like doing challenges. I am starting a NEW challenge next Saturday, called "Objet d'Art" . It's title might give it away, but I hope that those who like adventurous art will take part. There will be blog candy as always too!

Watch this space.........

Finally we have new stamps on the website-CHRISTMAS Stitchels, snowmen, and snowwomen, and also mini Stitchels! On Hels blog she has done some gorgeous cards with them.

Have a great Sunday!
