A third post in one day?! It must be some kind of miracle, lol!

Anyway, on Sunday I was able to make a couple of scenery style ATCs with the set from Hobby Art so here is the second one.

I managed a bit of making over the weekend and got back into some quick creations for the ATC challenge (that I am very behind on).

Today’s creation features some village scene woodmounted stamps from Hobby Art.

From These Hands Mixed Media Canvas

This week I have been mucking about with mixed media canvas creations in my ‘spare time’. I’m more than happy to say that I have been able to actually finish one!

It was intended to celebrate the fact that I am lucky enough to be designing and creating on a ‘regular’ basis.

Hallo me hearties!

Ever have that thing that where what you set out to make doesn’t end up anything like you initially imagined? Well, I can tell you that it can happen to even the smallest of projects.

Well, those Colorburst offcuts just keep on giving. This time I thought that the splatters looked a little like pollen or scent wafting in the warm winds and how sweetly scented they would be.

Probably not a good thing to remind me of today as I have been sniffling my way through a good run of hayfever recently and really wish it would do one.

Does happiness find us or do we seek it? That is the question.

Well, I think that the free stamp that came with the September 2014 issue of Craft Stamper magazine may have given me a clue…

A more refined design for today’s ATC365 creation. This one started with a Charles Rennie Mackintosh style floral stamp that I had received free with the July 2014 issue of Craft Stamper magazine.
