We had a lovely weekend with the ladies at The Craft Barn, despite the problems caused by the closure of the M25, and I hope everyone there enjoyed it too - we have had some really nice feedback! However I came home to a very sick cat, leaking loft plumbing - into my bedroom, and then my car broke down severely. So the poor cat is on steroids and antibiotics, in the hope that will pull him around, the plumbing problem looks like I'll need a whole new heating system, and the car is in the garage, hence the lack of postings for a while.
Anyway to move on to the nicer crafting side of life I am going to post pics of my 'Bright & Beautiful' inspirational project, which also doubled as the project the ladies at The Craft Barn workshop made last Sunday, and here it is - 'Party at the Seaside':
Followed by a couple of close-ups:
To make this I used a Tando chipboard frame, Tando bunting, Houses sheet, Trees sheet, stamps CI-283, CI-294, Mini-image books and Background books, plus Ranger crackle paint, modelling paste, Tando compass, Copic pens, shells, ribbons, kebab sticks, alcohol inks, and tiny pearls and flowers. These little scenes are great fun to make and display either on the wall, or do as I did with this one and glue on a simple strut back so it stands on its own.
I still have lots more to inspire you into having a go at the August challenge, and will post more piccies again soon - we have 13 beautiful entries so far, with 14 days to go, so please give it a whirl and join in. But for this evening I will close by offering you the chance to acquire more Blog Candy as shown below:
To get this lovely selection of goodies, all you have to do is send us an email with the wording 'Blog Candy Please', (to the contact details on the Crafty Individuals Website), and the 15th email received will be the lucky winner. One email per person only please.

ReplyDeleteGreat project - thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteOhhh no Jean what a bad end to your day and sounds rather expensive as well, thanks for sharing what you made in class its always lovely to see your class projects
ReplyDeletehugs
Oh my goodness, what a catastrophe (no pun intended) to come home too.
ReplyDeleteAnd you must have been totally worn out after a long day demo-ing at the Craft Barn.
Your project is just gorgeous and some of the folks on the forum I belong to (Sara's) have told us what it was. Sadly I live in Norfolk so too far away.
I was wondering if you do (or have considered) putting together packs of your products for the projects you create - or perhaps, now I think of it, it would be too time consuming and some of us might have the CI stamp or some of the products already. Well I have answered my own question. I could delete this I suppose, but will leave it up in case anyone else asks the same.
Really beautiful creation Jean and wish I could have popped over but sadly too busy.
ReplyDeleteGreat candy too and very generous of you.
