It's Me again!It's been a while since I've 'blogged' so I might save this as a draft while I have a think!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Nope! Not allowed! I've got a Sid doing 'bezerkas'! It's been a card making frenzy for the last few weeks! Strike that! Few months!! I started this post way back when.......and just didn't come back....until now!! So, this is quite weird for me as I'm looking back at stuff I added to the post ages ago!!<br />

Get your 'Ahem' in Gear Mrs C. and start Blogging! The World has been missing your Sid & Nancy Lol! (Don't think so! Think I'm a bit delusional but it's time to start bloggin!)<br />

If I'd realised I would have done a little card or something to give away!! Bet you're all glad I didn't!!! Anyway, I thought I'd share my latest 'makings' and 'thinkings' in general!<br />
<br />
Just watched the EuroVision Song Contest! I love it and have watched it for as long as I can remember! I thought last night's show was the best in recent years, purely for song quality! I particularly liked the last song (yeah, I know it wasn't part of the competition!), when all the contestants took to the stage and joined <a href="https://www.blogger.com/Emmelie%20de%20Forest%20-%20Rainmaker%20-%20YouTube%20%E2%96%BA%204:12%E2%96%BA%204:12%20www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3X02CgvXco" target="_blank">Emmelie de Forest </a>and joined in with her new song! The joy on their faces at just singing together made me quite emotional (yes. I cried. I do when something makes me happy!)- that is what music should be! As an aside, I had about 4 Facebook streams going on at the same time, all making comments on the show! Brilliant! It was like watching with all of my friends! Which brings me neatly to my main bloggy bit!<br />
<br />
I don't have my 'Chat' turned on when I'm on FB because Peeps can just access you instantly. I prefer to 'message', either privately or page to page (gives you time to think/have a wee!) Yesterday I pinged up a photo of a card I made, (bear with me, photos here soon! (can't believe I've just googled the correct 'Bare vs Bear!) and started a conversation with a FB friend who lives on the other side of the world! Yes, thanks to the powers of FaceBook, we were able to discuss the ins and outs of cards and papers to use! Please check out Dot's blog <a href="http://rexbythesea.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">here</a>! (She's good!) Anyhoos, here are some piccies!<br />

I've had a lovely week at home and managed to fit in some crafting! The Craft Room is still a Jumgle Room although I have tied up my 'heaps' into orderly 'piles'. So a bit like my Jumgle Room, where do I start? I think I might just upload random photo's and take it from there!<br />

The 'starburst' in purple at the top right and lower middle is actually a piece of 'mopping-up' kitchen roll that I saved from a workshop at the <a href="http://theartisticstamper.com/" target="_blank">Artistic Stamper </a>with Jennie! As I 'mod-podged' it onto the page it slightly disintegrated so I moved bits and pieces around until happy with the layout. Yeah right! Actually, I stopped when my fingers got glued to the page!! I'm still peeling it off my fingers- very therapeutic!!</div>

Layer three is Paper Artsy Fresco Finish Paint in Nougat through a TCW stencil and the hearts are from the 'cut-off' remaining when I die cut the hearts for the next layer! (My motto is 'Never throw anything away' - I'll probably be on telly in 10 years on that Hoarders programme!!)<br />

And from a different angle. I was really pleased with this!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhofO4IjA5SeCpXOWbB9IoYMpsi6tk9dTwe0BkBAkJGxxxxF3lUQb4C2UiLgT_WuaYoRrhJPb0HFlaXDC_OJntR0WCcXszS-68cKFvHeR9J_VRmedThAiVYbaXgjz77Zk4T7OUOvTvkszlu/s1600/IMG_2416.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhofO4IjA5SeCpXOWbB9IoYMpsi6tk9dTwe0BkBAkJGxxxxF3lUQb4C2UiLgT_WuaYoRrhJPb0HFlaXDC_OJntR0WCcXszS-68cKFvHeR9J_VRmedThAiVYbaXgjz77Zk4T7OUOvTvkszlu/s1600/IMG_2416.JPG" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>
And for the first time, I remembered to add the month first before adding the calendar bits! I die cut the hearts using the small Tim Holtz Movers & Shapers mini hearts before colouring with DI. For some reason I went for Milled Lavender, Worn Lipstick and Dusty Concord rather than sticking with the yellow, orange and green of the back ground. Still not sure if it works!!<br />

And my workshop piece from the Artistic Stamper last weekend! Finally finished after inspiration came!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The chipboard background was coloured with Distress Stains in Pumice Stone, Tea Dye and Tumbled Glass. I then stamped 'Hardwood' from Stampin' Up! in Walnut Stain all over.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This first one is from Georgina's free make and take for Easter at the Artistic Stamper yesterday, and yes, the stencil found it's way into my shopping basket!! This happens to be the same stencil I used on my Jig Saw piece (bottom middle panel - you can just about see it - purple shimmery bit) and it is also the pattern mopped up with kitchen roll and used on the journal page!!</div>

Quite good I'm thinking! He inked and stamped and coloured in! (I will say my face was an absolute picture when I said 'Lets colour that in with your pencils and he appeared with a box of my Distress Markers! But I thought, Hey ho! I loved using 'grown up' pens and paints when I was his age - it's a bit special and stays with you for life!). Here are my efforts:<br />

The paper for the panels is a retired one, again from Stampin' Up! (But check out their new ones - lots of lovely papers in the main catalogue and in the Spring/Summer catalogue!)<br />

<br />
As a bit of a practice, tonight I've taken step-by-step pics of a card I've made for some friends (It's their wedding anniversary tomorrow (she whispers, so I don't think they'll be paying any attention!!). I've used stuff from Stampin' Up mainly but this card can use anything in your stash. This first layer is heat embossed using Versamark and WOW white opaque on cream cardstock (I love it!). I gave my work surface and card a thorough rubbing with an anti-static bag first (hate to admit it, but it does make a big difference!)<br />
<br />

Next layer was embossed using the Stampin' Up embossing folder from Sizzix, Decorative Dots. I made this as a separate panel because embossing tends to stretch the paper, so trimmed to size and added to a panel. Then removed it from panel as a lot of cat fur appeared. Stuck it to new panel. Removed fur and started again. Finally got rid of the cat fur and was pleasantly pleased!</div>

The Medallion is from the 'Everything Eleanor' Stamp set from Stampin' Up. I stamped the medallion in pistachio pudding and the sentiment in Dusty Concord DI on top of the Pistachio Pudding Pannel (I have absolutely no idea where the 'Happy Anniversary' stamp came from. Mum got it for me ages ago!<br />

I've had a lovely craft-heavy weekend! Yesterday, I spent the day at the wondrous emporium that is </div>

We were very honoured to have the lovely and talented <a href="http://jofirthyoung.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Jo Firth-Young</a> come to teach us some <a href="http://www.theartisticstamper.com/paperartsy_fresco_finish_paints.htm" target="_blank">Fresco Finish</a> paint techniques to make a lovely Christmas Canvas. We used paints (got painty fingers), stamps (got inky fingers) and die-cuts (no - no die-cut fingers thank you!). Here's my finished piece:</div>

And on to Sunday. Well, when it comes to crafting, I definitely have two personalities - number one is the 'create, misbehave, anything goes, slap it on a page/canvas/box and see what happens' which is what I did in yesterday's class, and then there's this weird person. Who makes cards. Very neat cards. When I say neat, I mean really neat! See what I mean:</div>

On a Tuesday??Yep! It's me again! I'm back! Had a wonderful Saturday Workshop at <a href="http://www.theartisticstamper.com/" target="_blank">The Artistic Stamper</a> with <a href="http://thekathrynwheel.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Kate Crane!</a> This is my second foray into Art Journalling and I LOVE IT!<br />

I've got loads of pictures to share:<br />

This is a page I made after the workshop using stuff 'n' bobs from my stash of Dylusionals, Stencils and Washi's...rather pleased although Nick did say 'Looks like a pair of lungs' (What does he know!).

So, what's been happening? Not a lot! That's quite a good reason for not blogging!! Anyhoos!, exciting news is...............drum roll purlease..............I've become a Stampin' Up demonstrator! I've liked the products (ok, the white ink pad) for some time so hosted a party with <a href="http://craftyhallett.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Caroline</a>. A lot of fun was had by all, and I think the phrase is '...and the rest is history'. So here are some of my creations using Stampin' Up:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Strawberry Slush for the background and top petal, Pistachio Pudding for stem (Tape it stamps), Chalk Talk sentiment and the dotty paper in black from the Neutrals</div>

Two Christmas cards using the 'Neutral' set and 'In Colour 2013-2015 papers', the Mosaic Madness stamps and punch. The 'ribbons' are the 'Tape it' set. ' Deck the Halls' is from the 'Christmas Messages' set (which I rather like!) </div>

We watched two displays - one by the Horrible Histories guys with gladiators which was brilliant (Liam complained 'there were only 2 globs of blood!') then 'The Ermine Street Guard' with their display of the Roman Army and how it worked. Some pics from the displays...............<br />

On the day we......</div>
Managed to eat packed lunch (which was lovely thanks to me! Although the pork pies and sandwiches were frozen, the drinks were perfectly chilled)<br />
Walked down - that's a lot of steps and a very steep slope when you do the direct route. Got serious cramp in my left thigh and was thinking Nick would need to flag down a passing motorist for assistance! Did make it in the end!<br />
<br />
Monday: Never again. Unless it's by train and taxi both ways!<br />
Monday Addendum: still can't walk normal because of cramp in left thigh<br />
<br />
Tuesday Addendum: Would definitely recommend this as a day out! (But I'm still walking funny)<br />

Holidays tend to stop me from doing normal things for way longer than the actual holiday! It's been totally manic at work too since I got back and also very hot (not complaining about the hot!!!) so crafting has taken a leisurely break too! Anyway, thought it was about time I got back to my blog! Yesterday was spent at the Artistic Stamper doing a workshop with Georgina and very productive it was too! We made 4 cards but I'm only going to show you one!!<br />

Another work in progress but this time the page on the right needs to be viewed 90 degrees to the left! It is from my favourite bar and is a sketch of a wrought iron gate and lovely old stone wall. The next picture is my actual desk for tonight (well, my lap was used a lot so I put everything on the table!) This is my journal. The front cover was done before the holiday, the back I've done whilst here - yes. I took my stamps and ink pads (carefully selected mind) with me! The colours are Derwent Watercolour pencils with Pentel aquabrushes (why have I only just discovered water brushes?????)</div>

I'm so pleased with these as it is something completely different for me! I used to be a watercolour/pen and ink, quite classic stuff, but thanks to various lovely tutors at craft classes, I've discovered a whole new artistic mojo!!</div>

I should've done some step-by-steps but you never think of that when you get engrossed! I can remember what I did tho! First I stamped and masked the Fairy from <a href="http://www.crimsoncloud.co.uk/" target="_blank">Crimson Cloud</a> and stamped the sentiment in Aged Mahogany (note to self: Use Blue/purple and emboss next time!) Once the Fairy was masked I created the sky, middle and fore ground by using torn paper as a mask. Distress inks were used as water colours. Broken China and Chipped Sapphire for the sky, Bundled Sage for the mid-ground and finaly, Mowed Lawn for the foreground. Keeping the fairy and mid ground masks in place, I stamped the Raindrops from <a href="http://designsbyryn.com/" target="_blank">Stamps by Ryn</a> with StazOn in blue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, I coloured the fairy with Marvy Le Plume Pens from the pastel set. I restamped the wings onto acetate and cut out. I then alcohol inked the back of the wing with silver and pool, just to give a shimmer. The wing was attached with a line of Glossy Accents, and, as it was in my hands, all the raindrops got 'Glossied' too! The final touch was the addition of 'The Hobby House' pearls (the Pearls) down the back to hide the join to the wing. Now for the close ups!</div>

What's on mine this week apart from the usual chaos? My Hubs' birthday card (slight cheat I'll admit! He got it on Monday so I've moved it back to my desk for the photo but it was there. Honest!)<br />

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC7fNnr7VYCErcC7uF2DyP98ddQfiwoJWhAZmU2Rj2YA7saxCPmxTAq8kXxDC2_EMlxW035yWF-AedY8po3npo4aMQxNPOl3qr2tNGbrU5j4osPFHLq8WrjHoq_dLqzuBhPlByk7URZ9yI/s1600/IMG_1430.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC7fNnr7VYCErcC7uF2DyP98ddQfiwoJWhAZmU2Rj2YA7saxCPmxTAq8kXxDC2_EMlxW035yWF-AedY8po3npo4aMQxNPOl3qr2tNGbrU5j4osPFHLq8WrjHoq_dLqzuBhPlByk7URZ9yI/s320/IMG_1430.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
I made the letters from coloured UTEE poured into the Martha Stewart Alpha moulds followed by a touch of Treasure Gold (ooh I love that stuff!). A bit fiddly as they are quite small but if you work quickly you can 'swipe' the excess UTEE off and then trim the thin bits that are left. I think I might stick to using them with the Crafter's Clay!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilo754V1k106t5mydqlgjZstXM16nKQkZSm2MC5hNgGY1NyXmKW1fWwSE23wpEgbYp0p8SqW2OuJpRikofAVhyphenhyphenH2urSCEE6lrA9Iufy9aOeuQ-KWXb7oFliVJgCQDwzzu9IkcM4OKcgH8d/s1600/IMG_1431.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilo754V1k106t5mydqlgjZstXM16nKQkZSm2MC5hNgGY1NyXmKW1fWwSE23wpEgbYp0p8SqW2OuJpRikofAVhyphenhyphenH2urSCEE6lrA9Iufy9aOeuQ-KWXb7oFliVJgCQDwzzu9IkcM4OKcgH8d/s320/IMG_1431.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
And the Stamps that I used are still on the desk (genuinely!). Towards the bottom right is an idea for my Dad's birthday card - checking whether the little UTEE frame would work with part of a Stampers Anonymous stamp. This will probably be on next weeks WOYWW! (Watch this space for the altered tins - they will reappear one day!)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisRV-GIQg3r51-AUcWurYcWM9iYW50nDKHW2_1CwpAmFGg5_V3_VpRAaj_26zyS8BXCPockUUaOrBA0m7wuTicNFcetwvpA7arNc6CxZUxnAFSoOSSleQBrOp9X22AeBxY7NTat_9gKLBM/s1600/IMG_1432.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisRV-GIQg3r51-AUcWurYcWM9iYW50nDKHW2_1CwpAmFGg5_V3_VpRAaj_26zyS8BXCPockUUaOrBA0m7wuTicNFcetwvpA7arNc6CxZUxnAFSoOSSleQBrOp9X22AeBxY7NTat_9gKLBM/s320/IMG_1432.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And to finish, a straight view! Who said you can't put feathers on a Man's card! I like the way they hide bits of the image and sentiment. Ah, not sure if this allowed - please tell me off if it's not but I'd like to enter this card in the <a href="http://pinkleart.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/sunday-stamper-week-259-some-like-it-hot.html" target="_blank">Sunday Stampers Challenge - Week 258 - Some Like it Hot</a></div>

I didn't do a Sunday Special last week and my WOYWW was a week out too! I actually attached the previous weeks photo to the blog! Blah is all I can say! I hope I don't get it wrong this week because I think it's WOYWW's special birthday where we get to send on our ATCs! I LOVE this idea! If anyone wants to swap... ..Any Hoos...........<br />
