How much is too much?!

I'm talking about GLITTER here!  how much is too much?? 

Well, actually I'm talking glitter over on the PaperArtsy blog tonight with a festive project featuring SEVEN types of glitter! yes, SEVEN* - well I don't like to do things by halves do I!?!

Pop over to the PA blog to take a look.

* and none of them are glitter glue!!! how could I forget Stickles glitter glue!?! I love a touch of that on a project!! I only realised I'd forgotten it when I read Dounia's inspiring project on the PA blog on Wednesday night... sigh - maybe I'll add it later - those snowflakes on the green cubes are crying out for a touch of glitter glue...
no...
must resist..
put the glitter down and move away from the project....

#365Challenge.... May!

The #365Challenge books for May and June are the same size made from 3x4inch Project Life cards that I've adapted to make my own style.

May's pages, when I look at them as a group, seem to be created with a 'stash attack' approach - lots of found pieces, sewing, and layering. 

Here they are....

I'm still working on 'attacking the stash' and using up bits left over from previous projects and this page features a left over strip sewn on to a printed card, making it my own.

I think this card needs an explanation - I don't have criminal tendencies lol - the question on the card was 'what would you do if nothing could possibly go wrong?   This was my answer, clarified on the back by explaining that I would then give all the money to charity.  Robin Hood stylee! lol

 

I'm really coming around to yellow!! Its creeping into lots of things I'm creating and I'm even considering yellow (sort of a mustard yellow) wallpaper for my lounge.. coordinating with the yellow cushions on chairs.... oh yes, its creeping in!

If you have any questions about products I've used (such as die cuts) please drop it in the comments and I'll get back to you.

Five months down, seven to go...

#365Challenge.... April !!

Oh my word! ... this was five months ago!  ... and I left you at 7th April!

I should probably remind you what the #365Challenge is:  I'm answering all the questions asked on the Flow Magazine question-a-day calendar. If I like the question (am able to answer the question) I create a page with the answer.. and if I don't like the question I simply make a nice page instead. lol  Sounds simple, yes?  Well sometimes yes and sometimes no!

my project = my rules!

Here are the completed pages for April... using the big number stamps was a challenge - but that's what this project was partly about - to challenge myself and {hopefully} learn something along the way....  

Used a gelli print as the coloured panel on this page, over-stamped with a mini stamp - JM49, the sentiment is from the PaperArtsy ZinskiArt stamp set ZA08 (great little sentiments!)

I like how the numbers on this page seems to be in the grasses.

I wanted to look through the numbers on this page so created an acetate overlay - stamping the numbers onto the overlay with Snowflake Fresco Finish paint and filling in the numbers with Pearl Glaze.

 I really like the Chalkboard look of this page - the Fresco Finish paints are great for achieving this effect (flowers are stencil PS055)

oooh Distress Oxide ink background!! what's not to love!?!

I ended April here... maybe I'll go back and finish it later in the year but for now its 'finished' ... on to the next month..
