Stars Challenge at JFF



Well stars at Just for Fun had me thinking a lot for sure. I cut out two largish ones exactly the same and stamped on them--with a rubber stamp and ink of course not because I was annoyed with 'em. lol.

What to do then I wonder?

Well! I joined them in a similar way to a sideways easel card so one of the stars stands up. I reckon if I put my thinking cap back on I can make a card shape from this idea. These challenges will have my poor old thinking cap worn out before long.


Just for Von a picture of the back and how I joined the stars together. I'm afraid it is difficult to show the exact way I folded the card but I will be doing a tutorial for a star card when I come up with the concept.

This is my second entry for the stars challenge as I would like to be able to join in the swaps and not sure that the first one would travel well lol.
Just when I thought I knew everything someone mentioned 'Scraplings'--thanks Von for telling me what they are. I had to try one and here it is.

Hi All. Thank you for visiting today and I hope you like what you see here. A fine bright day but colder today so I may fit in a walk later though I had some curtains to make before I do anything else. At Tag Tuesday this week the theme is Diva. I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life. Art Journal Journey are still drawing me in with the artists inspired theme so here is yet another page for the challenge there.  This was inspired by Damien Hirst though years ago I didn't feel inspired by his work at all when I saw some of it for real at the Liverpool Tate Gallery. We had gone there to see the wonderful Rodin sculpture 'The Kiss' which graced the entrance to the Gallery. Then we strayed into the next part and a whole wall was covered in dots. It didn't look like art to
