Getting back to normal & exciting news!

Hello there!  Is there anyone out there? haha Have you all had a lovely holiday?  Mine was quietish with manic moments inbetween :D  Its great to be back at my craft desk though! 

The ~Craft Barn DT~ are all working with canvases this week.  The shop stocks some gorgeous small ones and I have used a 15x15cm and a 7x5cm for my project!  The teensy one comes in a pack of 2.  Its lovely to be working on 'normal' stuff again after all the festive makes hahaha.

 

Both canvases were 'splodged' with watered down acrylics and a kitchen roll rolled over till I was happy with them.  The scrolls have been silver embossed.  The stamped images are by Crafty Individuals and have been coloured then clear embossed before stuck to the canvas.  The cute teensy canvas has been edged with silver embossing and glued in place.  The pretty butterflies were cut out of some Crafty Individual paper and the quote is PC generated.

 

This was going to be a Christmas present for someone but I still have it hahahaha!!!!!  Now for the EXCITING NEWS.  For 2013 The Craft Barn Blog are setting a fortnighly challenge called

 

THE ALPHA CHALLENGE

 

The idea is to use the dictionary to inspire you and then alter the relevant page!  I have chosen a large 17x24cm dictionary to alter and will be playing right along side you all!  A fabulous challenge to take you through the whole year, especially if you like journalling and altering books :D  You can find more info ~here~.  Here is the logo for you to put on your blogs.  I do hope that you will join in!

 

 

 

Whatever your plans are I hope that you all have your dreams come true in 2013.

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
