No fooling

I'm trying to reorganise my crafting space which is more commonly known as the dining room.   Yesterday I assembled a piece of flat pack furniture and still have another larger piece to assemble.  Actually, Roger said he would do it.

I eventually found enough room today to actually do some crafting.  Today I have started another online course called Colour Your World.   And the prompt was to make anything. But it had to be something that stretched me.   Using these coolours supplied in the SFTIO kit was certainly a stretch for me!

  I had also seen a sketch on Shimelle's blog so I thought I would use that for the basis of the layout.   And in a new burst of time efficiency (hee hee) I made the layout for one of the challenges on Scrapbooking From the Inside Out.

A quick post and a tag

I hadn't realised it was a week since I last blogged!

Here is the tag I have made for this:

My weekend word for the challenge is SCRAP.

I sprayed the tag with Dylusions paints and then sprayed water through an alphabet stencil.   I put a Timmy butterfly sticker on.   Cut a circle from some patterned paper.  Punched a butterfly. (such cruelty!)  And put some ribbons through the hole in the tag.   Then I stamped randomly.   On the tag, not just my foot!

  

Pop over to Nicki's blog to join in with the challenge.

Altered Book

I am in the process of making an altered book. I have cut and folded all the pages inside and painted them with a coat of acrylic paint.

 

I cut a hole in the cover of the book and stuck the roof on from a Wendy Vecchi Art Parts Residences set.

I covered the outside of the book with Tim Holtz Tissue Tape and coloured it with distress inks - although the ink doesn't show up much in the photo.

I also cut a hole in the next page of the book

 And stuck the house on the next page.  It is 2 layers of house thick so that when you close the book the house shows level at the front cover.

The next one I do, I want to have more house on the front of the book somehow.  Will have to think it through as I did some of this one in the wrong order and made it difficult for myself.
