Out of a Hat Challenge 63

Hello Friends and Followers-hope you are all well and having a great crafting week

This week at Out of a Hat Creations the theme is 'Tickets Please'. What a shame that these days almost all the tickets we get are just bits of paper that pop out of a machine and only a bit off a roll at that-bring back the old tickets I say. I might not be saying that when the queue at the various places was a mile long as the desk clerk searched for the right ticket.


Right back to the challenge :-

This is my make and it is a pot of cream that I mixed with different oils that help sleep. I called the cream 'DREAM' and added that to one ticket and the other ticket says 'made by chrissie'. This is 'rustic' looking but I am not trying to compete with big name products--these makes are  gifts for friends

The pot was a glaring pink colour and one that was in a new, mousse hair colourant  I didn't like it when I had used it and rushed to the hairdresser to put it right lol I painted the outside of the pot a nicer shade.

Then I added some texture to the front and the top.

All I did then was give it a coat of varnish and add the lace, tickets and a flower that I rescued from a friend's birthday card as she always throws them away a couple of days after her birthday.

Do go and visit Janet, Sandra and Tracy's blogs and see what they have made for this challenge and join in with us if you have time.

Love Chrissie xx

    What a brilliant idea Chrissie, I love your texture paste. I make my own athletes foot cream for the lads (I know too much information lol) but it works far better than the shop bought stuff xx

    I know that the oils I used work cause I dot some on my pillow at night. I am hoping that they will work as well when added to the cream I used.

    Thank you for the lovely comments everyone

    Love Chrissie xx

    Fabulous post and ideas - love your pretty pot Chrissie. Agree with you about tickets too - always used to save tickets as a child and even bought some used ones (I think) on the Romney and Hythe (miniture train? line)... Gill x

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
