' Home Sweet Home ' by Annette Goatley (nettyscraftings)

Hi, for my second project this month for Happy Daze, I chose to alter a Black Ikea Photo Frame, you know the ones I mean..........the cheapy plasticky ones.

Products used:  Suzi Blu -  La Belle stamp, gesso, acrylic paints, serviette, patterned paper, watercolour paints, multi matt medium  and bits from my stash.

Am so in love with this Suzi Blu -  La Belle stamp as she is so versatile.  If you remember on 3rd June when I used her last I cut off her hat and gave her a bandana.  This time have paper pieced her hat, I have many looks in mind for this fab stamp she is now available at the Happy Daze online shop.

Wishing you a happy and crafty week, Hugs Annette xx

Christmas Scrapping By Carol Fox

I don't scrap but I do love some of the papers available. As soon as I saw this set in the shop I just thought how well they would fit onto the little wooden blocks that I am in love with at the moment. I have a pile of these on a wooden chest of draws in my hallway. I add a set each year as it's lovely when I get the decorations out each year to see the older sets and it brings back memories of that year. I have been doing this for about five years now and I am getting quite a pile of them.

For this years set I have used the Pink Paislee sheet , its very good value for these as on the sheet you get 25 images and you only need 24 for a set of four bricks so you have a spare incase you cut of sants's head whilst cutting out.(blushes)
These are a set of 4 bricks which I painted with claudine hellmuth Paints using the crackle technique between the layers. Once dry I roughed up the edges of the cut circles using a paper distresser and then stuck one of each face of each brick using multi medium.

Once dry I aged them up a bit using Old Paper distress ink on an applicator. with out the drying time these took about half an hour to make, so they are a quick and easy project and not too messy if like me you have had a good tidy up of the craft room for Christmas.
I may add a some stickles to them I have not decided yet. But you can jazz these up as much or a little as you wish, they are fun to make and look really effective.

I used
Pink Paislee paper
multi medium
paints
stickles

A Teesha Moore Christmas

Hi,  have created a small canvas and a large tag, these are both going to the same person as gifts for Christmas.

The small Canvas had been painted and inked, stamp by Teesha Moore and the moon was created with Gesso and Texture Paste as I wanted it to look like a round of Camembert........

The large Tag has piano backing paper which was masked with the Clock Mask of Tim Holtz and sponged with Distress Inks.  Stamp and Cut outs by Teesha Moore.  All available at Happy Daze.

Looking forward to seeing your creations this month for this great versatile challenge.
Hugs Annette x
