Addicted to Stamps and More

Hello Everyone and I hope your day is going well so far. I decided to get up early and try to make something for a few challenges as I seem to have been doing knitting and sewing and forgetting to make anything else.

At Addicted to Stamps and More this week there is a beautiful photograph to use as inspiration for a challenge piece.


I don't know who makes the two backing cards I used as I bought a big bag of stuff on the car boot sale and the card was in that.

I made this card and used all sorts of different stamps.

The flowers and the little butterfly are Crafty Individuals from their C1-293 set.

The 'Live life' sentiment is one from a free set that was exclusive to Homemade magazine.

The little bees are Joanna Sheen--I use that set all the time at the moment-Back to Nature

The Larger Butterfly is Personal Impressions-'Fluttering by' set and last is the Happy Birthday stamp from Hobby Art.

This has made me realise that I have lots of stamps all of them need a good sort out--any volunteers!

Love Chrissie xx

    Chrissie, your card is so pretty! I like all the stamps you used, as I really like butterflies and bees, and the coloring is perfect. I like the frame, too. A birthday card worth displaying as art.

    Enjoy a wonderful day,

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
