I’ve been having a little play with some (lots) of paints and inks over the last few evenings as a sort of way to unwind from thinking about all of things that I’ve been trying to achieve.
I’m very pleased with the results and I think that when you find out some of the techniques, you may be a little surprised…
In my recent Christmas Is Coming post I showed you a project that I had made with a chipboard kit from Georgina Ford.
I also eluded to the fact that I had been working with the Poinsettia Wreath Kit, also from Georgina’s range – well, finally everything has dried and it’s ready to be revealed …
I was deliberating whether to hand make Christmas this year (bit late to still be procrastinating I know) when along came Georgina Ford.
Georgina is setting up a new creative business called Designs By Georgina and she asked me if I would have a go with some of her product range and see what I thought.
Never one to turn down a creative request I said yes please!
Do you ever head into the craft room only to discover that it’s a complete mess and you have no idea how it happened?
This happened to me recently – so I decided to get the experts in.

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.
Well, who ever thought that I would make it to 100, but I did!
Today’s ATC creation also goes a little darker than previous makes by giving my little impression of what it means to struggle to get to sleep – something that I often go through, and I know that a fair few of you do too.
Day two of the Christmas blog post countdown has arrived! I’ve been making an assortment of Christmas tree decorations over the last few weeks and this was one that I did mid-November on a cold and wintery day – it felt so cold that I thought that it was going to snow!
You can imagine that creating a snow scene was like doing a rain dance but I cranked up the heating and set too.
Today I’ll be kicking off my Christmas projects (better late than never). These will be a collection of Christmas themed makes and handmade gifts that I have been working on recently.
This first one is a quick and easy range of gift tags that I have been experimenting with that I hope to adorn my handmade Christmas Gifts with.
They use very little in terms of materials but still gave me some freedom in how I decorated them.
