Happy Birthday Hilda!

Now that the day is finally here I can blog the presents I made! I made Hilda a domino book and an altered matchbox doll (cant you tell these are my new obsession!) I just love making them LOL

I hope you enjoy them Hilda

Bottle top doll!

UK Stampers forum is hosting an altered art swap using bottle caps. The idea is to decorate one or more bottletop and include it in a piece of work of your choice, so here is mine. She has a bottle top face and a body made from a matchbox. I opened out the matchbox and covered it with paper. The wings I made from mountboard and a stencil from a leftover section of grungeboard, which I inked up and stamped and embossed them using a script stamp. Her legs are stamped from a zettiology (?) set of stamps. Sorry the pics are a bit naff!

Wish I was here!

This postcard is for a swap on Crafting Corner. The idea is to design an A6 postcard of a favorite place or holiday. I chose China as it one of my favorite places.

Lots to Do Challenge

Wow!! Can you believe it! I have actually done an online challenge. This is my first and, probably my last, challenge piece as normally I simply dont have time. However, I was making this piece for an altered art swap and it just fitted in with the theme over on the Lots to Do Challenge site!

It's a key ring made from stampboard which I stamped using a mixture of distress inks and stazon. I then covered it with glossy accents to give it a shine!

Altered domino

Been ages since I did one of these! By chance I was having a sort out and found a few stuffed in a draw. Then, hey presto, Hazel decided to host an altered domino swap on UK Stampers

So here is my domino brooch. I cant remember where the stamp is from but I know it's a USA based company. I used Sharpie pens to colour in the image, added some crystal stars then used Glossy Accents to seal.

Finally some crafting!

Wow it seems ages since I did any kind of crafty stuff to blog! Here are my christmas pressies that I made people. I used memory glass to make a tree decoration. I think they look pretty fab (and they were bloomin' fidly too!)

Happy New Year!

Wishing you all a happy, healthy and prosperous new year! Thanks to everyone who has visited my blog and left comments over 2008
