It's Magic!

Hi everyone, I'm sure it can't just be me that finds time passes so quickly. It's already time for a new theme at Try It On Tuesday - 'Make It Magical'

Please take a look at how the Design Team have created Magic here.

I have been wanting to make a magical page using the gorgeous mushrooms from one of Erica Palfreyman's Stampanory Cotton Socks sets and here I combined them with some images from Lavinia Stamps


The background was made with Lavinia Dinkles. I extended the stamp slightly with a Pitt pen. I stamped the stars using silver acrylic paint. The quote is also from the Cotton Socks set.

I think that the fairy's pet rabbit is enjoying the glittery shower!

As usual our them runs for 2weeks. I do hope that you will add a little magic of your own at TIOT.

Thanks for looking, Chris

Summer Blooms at TIOT

Hi everyone, I'm back from my holiday in France and been enjoying some time at my desk making some journal pages. Try It On Tuesday has a new theme 'Summer Blooms' and I'm sure is going to inspire many of you! The Design Team has been busy too with lots of lovely flowers on show.

I chose Sweet Peas as my blooms but really I would choose them for their scent too.


I used a mop up background in my journal and added some texture stamps around the edges (using the stamp package image to place where I wanted it) then stamped my image and coloured it using water colour pencils and a water brush. I also used the honeycomb edging of the image to extend it around the flowers.

This theme will run for the usual two weeks and I do hope you will join us with your own 'Summer Blooms' at TIOT.

Thanks for looking, Chris
