Out of a Hat Challenge13-Little Book

The challenge this week at Out of a Hat Challenges was to be A Domino Book but we decided to include any small book no more than 3x3 inches.

I hadn't a clue where to start but I did have some dominoes so that was a good place. I found the wonderful Artful Musing blog of Laura Carson with this fantastic tutorial. I could have spent all day just looking at the wonderful little book that she had made but jumped in with both feet to start making my own. Maybe one day I will be able to make something as beautiful but for now this is my effort and a big thank you to Laura and all the wonders on her blog

Hope you will venture to Janet, Florence and Sandra's blogs to see what they have made for this weeks challenge.

Sandra had the idea to have this challenge as a swap amongst the four of us as we have become such good crafting friends. I got the beautiful one that Sandra made and I am so thrilled with it for sure-a real keepsake :) Thank you Janet, Sandra and Florence and all the people who join us with their ideas on our challenges it has added a new dimension to crafting for me.
This is beautiful domino book I received from Sandra


 Do come and join us with your take on the challenges as we so love to see what you make whatever it is if it is in the theme.

Tag and Journal page design

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
