Feeling inspired

I only managed four hours of sleep last night.  Why??  Because I had so many crafty ideas running around my head that even sketching things out didn't help.  I'm sat here this morning with 2 projects started and another begging to come out.  My brain is going a mile a minute and you know what.... I think I like it.

I have just finished the topper for a card I am making for the weekend challenge over at Crafty Fairy Godmothers.  (You can find the link in my side bar).  I have used a Kenny K digi stamp and two distress inks (Shabby Shutters and Peeled Paint.)

I love digi stamps.  They are very versatile.  You can resize them, flip them and if you know how, layer them.  The Kenny K ones are my absolute fave, but I also like Saturated canary and a few others.  I'm still working on my colouring technique. I'm using copics at the moment, but I don't have nearly enough of the colours yet.  I'm trying to decide if I should change to another brand of pen as they are not cheap.  Nearly £3 each.

Well my crafting is calling my back.  If I actually get one of those projects finished today I will share a pic or two.

Have a good Sunday :)

Happy National Scrapbooking Day

I would love a whole day of scrapping to celebrate, but unfortunately work calls.

I started a little project last night (wooden) and if I am not too tired tonight, I will do a bit more work on it. So far it is going well and I'm looking forward to showing it to you.

Since I don't have a new project to share with you today, I would like to share with you a few of my previously made scrapbook layouts.

The picture is of my eldest son who is now 23.  This is a simple layout that I used to make a tutorial for this months challenge on CFG Scrappers

I haven't found the right photo yet, but I had the layout in my head so I had to make it.

This started off as 2 sheets of 12x12 white card stock and 2 pieces of black for the photo matts.  A lot of inking and die cutting later and I had this layout.  I love creating my own backgrounds.  I have some new brightly coloured shimmer mists to play with so look out for some really bright layouts from me.

Need to go iron my uniform, but have a great day.

Today is the day.....

.....that I can finally show you what I have been up to.  3 minutes past midnight so it is officially the right day lol

This is for a challenge that is running over at CFG Scrappers.  You can find a link to the group in the side bar.  This is the hessian covered canvas that I was working on earlier this week.

For some reason Blogger wont let me link directly to the video that shows you the process of how the canvas was created so click here to watch it.   It is quite a simple one to do once you get the hang of it.

I really need my bed now.
