Stampotique Designers Challenge

I love Stampotique stamps !!!! and thought that it was about time I joined in with the Stampotique Designers Challenge and this week they want you to use the colours orange and turquoise in your creation. As we all know im a bit obsessed with art journalling at the moment so thought id make a journal page for the challenge. These werent colours I would usually think of using together but I loved the result and will definately be using this combo again. I used my yummy mica dylusion sprays for this page, love the shimmer to these sprays soooo much.



Also to celebrate there new design team they have a challenge to be there guest designer for March, closing date is the 31 Jan and hey if you dont try you dont know !!!! They want you to make a 'welcome' card for this challenge and heres what I came up with ...

Valentines Card and the Last Holiday Journal Entries

Hope your all well, ive been pretty busy today I took my nan to the hospital ealier as her eye sight is getting so bad, she has this degeneration thing and they said she is most likely going to go blind in one eye :( she will have to have injections into the eye every 3 weeks, it sounds horrible :( poor nanny. Shes a fighter though and at 87 shes still going strong goes on holiday every year and is extremely independant so im sure she'll fight through it :)

Anyway on to nicer things ... I actually made a card yesterday !!!!!! it seems like such a long time since ive made one and i really enjoyed making this one. I made the hubster a valentines card, I hope he likes it. Im still completely in love with my bombshell images. I add 3D gloss to make the glass look more realistic, I also dusted off the nesties, it seems like such a long time since ive used these.


Also is this last from the holiday journal, thanks to everyone who has commented on it I really appreciate it and I hope it wasnt too much of a chore to read, that is if you did read it. I wish I was still in India it is such an amazing place and im sure me and Jay will go back there at some stage, we would love to visited the south next time. Nepal was also such a lovely place the people were so nice and the scenery was just stunning, the himalayas really are so beautiful in real life.

Cleaning sucks !!!!!

Heres a little question for you ... guess whos still waiting for the British Gas man .... and the answer is me !!!! so I waited in all day yesterday and it finally got to 5.20pm and I thought hmmmm I dont think the plumbers coming !!! after ringing british gas and going around the houses and on the phone for about 20 odd mins they finally tell me sorry we booked the job under the wrong accound no. the plumber must have gone to a different address, what !!!!! grrrrr anyway long story short im now waiting for the plumber to turn up today, hopefully between 12 and 2 fingers crossed hahahahaha you never know stranger things have happened !!!!!

Heres a page from the A5, I really enjoyed making this one, I think its because I changed her clothing so much I added the spots, stars and strips. I think she looks a little too fancy to be doing the cleaning hahahahaha
