About Me

My photo
I'm a retired primary school teacher, who started paper crafting in 2008, when I had a fancy to make my own Christmas cards. Since then, I have tried all sorts of techniques and styles - and I kind of like them all. I have been lucky enough to be on blog teams and large design teams and to do a bit of freelance demonstrating - and I love the challenge of working with different products. My crafting style is very varied - from junk journaling and art journaling, bookbinding and journal making, to quilting and patchwork - and of course I still make cards. This variety keeps me interested - and my crafty stash growing!! I'm always seeking inspiration for new projects.

Rusty Tag

Hope you managed to catch the shows yesterday! There's 3 more opportunities today to catch MJ's fab demos - 9am, 1pm and 5pm. 

Here's a large wooden tag decorated using one of the rice papers (design 012), with a Magi Cutz key and padlock decorated with Rusty Patinas - Rustique, Verdigris and Cafe Creme.
I used the same Rusty Patinas around the edge of the tag too. Hopefully it looks suitably rusty!

Vintage Cheeseboard

I had great fun with these lovely little MDF cheeseboards, making samples for the launch of the Imagination Crafts One Day Special on Hochanda on Thursday.
For this one, I used Clotted Cream and Antique Pink Starlights to paint the cheeseboard, then added rice paper over the top (design 448).  Over the top of the paper, I added some crackle effects with Crackled Feather stencil and Antique Pink Starlight. The large keys are Magi Cutz, and I coloured them with a mixture of Rustique Rusty Patina mixed with Black Gesso. On top of this I added a little Verdigris and Cafe Creme Rusty Patinas. I did the same with the edge of the cheeseboard. To finish, I added a little ribbon. 

Will hopefully be back later to share another sample.
