Addicted to Stamps and More

Good morning All. The forecast says it is going to be sunny and hot today-yipee! Not much sign of the sun yet just lots of cloud but I am hopeful and hope the sun is shining where ever you are

The challenge this week at Addicted to Stamps and More is Anythings Goes so I thought I would make a card with something I have been meaning to try for a long time


This what I have been meaning to use for a long time. I bought the book at a charity shop for £1 and it is full of lots of pictures that will be great on projects. I cut out the little girl and fairy image then assembled various papers and card and a die cut shape that I got in swap. I did do faux stitching around the edge of the card but it doesn't show up very well.

Great samples from the Addicted team as always.

Love Chrissie x

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
