This mini canvas has texture paste cuttlebug bits.

Peeled Paper ATC

Diamond X Binding



I made a Diamond X Journal today.

Invoke


Invoke- I stamped straight onto the matt board and embossed using seafoam white embossing powder. I used Collections window elements for the frames which I inked with spiced marmalade and peeled paint and then stitched. I also used the cuttlebug, (my favourite), for the corners.

New Links and Journal

I added some new links to the favourite blogs section.

Rein has fantastic ATC's, cards and some great free images too. It is a beautiful place to visit.

One Of Life's Little Moments is a wonderful site by Sonya, full of beautiful scrapbooking treasures.

Fragments is a cool blog by Sarah- The Terminator. She shares her fishing exploits and other adventures.

Aquatic Arts is a blog by the Dolly who loves creating all sorts of things.

Blue Bazaar is a FANTASTIC online shop with a wide selection of items at terrific prices and excellent service.


I have nearly finished my journal for a course I'm doing. I used Japanese stab binding to hold it together. The covers are suede and I used some grunge board and the Cuttlebug diecuts and embossing folders as embellishments.






Now off to finish my major writing assignment. xxxx
