Altered Note Book

Good evening everyone.

At the moment my PC is broke :( so I have had to use my OH's PC to upload photos etc. It's really annoying not being able to do this on my own PC, but it looks like this might be the only solution until we can get me a new PC. I do have a laptop, but I really don't like working on it!
So until then, this will have to do!

Anyways, I couldn't find my old notebook that I kept details in, on challenges, so I decided to turn a tatty old note book, that I found stuffed away somewhere, in to a brand spanking new 'Challenges' notebook. I know I do have all the challenges listed in my sidebar, but I like to have something by the side of me whist I actually craft.

You will notice that I don't have a watermark on these images, that is because that is stored in PSP on MY computer lol

Note: I really hope entering this notebook in to the listed challenges are okay, but I couldn't find anything in the rules that said it was for cards only. If not, then that is absolutely fine :)

PS. Please ignore the grubby white card on the photos, that is what I use on top of my craft mat when I am colouring in lol



The before picture. Yucky! As always, click on the images to view in full.



Front.



Back.



Inside. Not the most perfect, but it will do! As you can see I removed the old ribbon marker and made a matching spotty one.

And below a few extra photos, juct click on them to enlarge :)

Two Cards

I've been a busy bee again.
Two new cards :)

Here is the first one, Tilda, and as you can see, I am really loving my new Nellie Snellen dies :D
Though I really need to see if I can do anything with my camera settings to make the pictures not so blurry.



I would like to enter this card in to the following challenges:

And finally, an Edwin card, though I am not 100% sure about this one, it feels like something is missing from it?
Ah well, can't get 'em all to be how we wanted them to be I suppose lol



I would like to enter this card in to the following challenges:

Tilda Card, Bracelet & Altered Jar

I am very proud of myself today, not only have I completed a new card, I have also made a 'tester' bracelet and an altered jar.

First up is a Tilda card that I made for my friend in the US' birthday.
I coloured her in a couple of days ago with me new ProMarkers.
I had to order some new ones as I didn't have any 'pastel' coloured ones, and as they were under £5 a pack, I figured why not!



I would like to enter this card in to the following challenges:

Recipe:
  • Tilda pre-stamped image {from eBay}
  • ProMarkers
  • Stickles
  • Anita's Glossy Accents
  • Pin
  • Self Adhesive Flat Pearls
  • Mulberry Paper Flowers
  • Leaf
  • Laura Ashley Paper {deep purple}
  • Papermania Papers {pink & lighter purple}
  • 3D Foam pads to lift Tilda off the card


Next up is a little bracelet that I quikcly put together, more of a tester, to see whether I would enjoy making more before I bought all the tools and lots of beads.
And I found some wire and basic beads in my stash, so I gave it a go, and I did enjoy it, so I will be investing in some better beads and tools etc. soon!



Recipe:

  • Wire
  • Beads

And lastly is an old pasta sauce jar that I altered to put my new mulberry paper flowers in.
As the lid was green all over I decided to keep the green theme.
I didn't have any green ribbon though, so I recycled an old piece of green ribbon I had laying around.




As you can see, the paper didn't go all the way around, but you can see all those yummy flowers and delishious colours!

Recipe:
  • Empty glass pasta sauce jar
  • Papermania paper
  • Ribbon
  • Prima Flower
  • Lovely mulberry paper flowers to fill jar
I almost forgot....
I got new toys a few days ago, a sealing wax gun, wax, and a 'J' sealing coin, and I totally *heart* it!
I can easily see how addictive this might become!
